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.

The staff were great. Very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Newman was extremely thorough and takes a personalized approach by putting his patients first. He made me feel so comfortable and took much of his time to do a thorough examination. Then clearly explained treatment options, made recommendations, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice!

Fabulous dentist and hygienist. After a terrible year of dental work at a dental clinic called monocacy dental in Frederick, I found this clinic thanks to being referred by a friend. I drive an hour from home to get here, and it’s worth it to me every time. My ONLY complaint is that the office staff is a little frazzled sometimes and so they perhaps get a little forgetful. I had appointments canceled that shouldn’t have been and had to reschedule and then there was a mix up in times. That being said, they still squeezed me in despite it not being the right time. So canceling me when they shouldn’t have and then having a time mix up doesn’t bother me enough to even dock half a star. Dr Fulton and Angie were super accommodating and understanding. The clinic is clean, comfortable, and inviting. Dr Fulton and Angie are incredibly patient and kind and really know what they’re doing and how to make you the most comfortable. I love this dentist office and wish it wasn’t so far away.

Sam and Doctor Newman we’re all wonderful people. Dr. Newman made me feel at ease and relaxed. Especially with my anxiety of not enjoying the dentist. Dr. Newman’s hygienist was great too… I really wish Guilford, hill dentistry Had payment plans because I would have stayed to get all my work done. I am having a hard time finding a dental surgeon To do all of my dental surgery, nobody wants to take my dental plan with my Medicare, and that’s one of the toughest parts….. I just don’t have $13,000. And it makes it difficult for me having a disability , and I don’t have that kind of money…… I loved having Dr Newman for my Dr and having sam help me financially.
