When I was younger, I wanted to go into something with the sciences, but I wasn’t really sure. My community had a dentist that I was a patient in their practice, and he loved his job. He loved everything about his work, so I spent a summer working in his practice, and I loved it.
I fell in love with it. His patients loved him, and he loved his patients, so it made me want to do dentistry, so that’s how I got here. So the most rewarding part for me in dentistry is patient care, so I love the opportunity to be able to help a patient to move through whatever fears or anxieties they have, and be happy about their smile at the end, the way their teeth look, and more importantly, the way they feel about the work that’s been done to them, that they’ve received ultimate care, and they feel as if this is a second home for them when it comes to taking care of their health, so that for me is the icing on the cake.

My experience at Guilford Hills Dental Care was outstanding. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and the dental assistance was caring and compassionate. Dr. Newman took the time to explain the dental care I needed and provided me with several options to consider. His treatment was done gently, efficiently and with professionalism. I could not be happier with the end result. I give Dr. Newman and his staff my highest recommendation.
