Thanks !

I briefly considered the idea of having my dentist in Meredith, since we spend the bulk of our time there. I went to Dr. DeTolla's office...had x-rays and a cleaning. Dr DeTolla came in to do his exam after the hygienist had completed her work. I found him to be abrupt and gruff. I left and never went back. We have since started going to a dentist in Bedford who is awesome and is on the "top dentists" list in NH Magazine.

Perhaps Dr DeTolla was just having a bad day and he may do great dental work, but his demeanor that day was just a real turn-off.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. DeTolla for many years and have been very pleased with him and his office. I have also had work done by his brother, the other Dr. DeTolla who is an oral surgeon in Gilford and have been happy there.

Hmm. We've been going to DeTolla for years and he's been great. Never had an issue. Maybe the issue was really with the patient.

How we all choose our doctors, dentists, and other healthcare providers is a very personal decision. These people are touching our bodies and we share private information with them. If I don't feel that I have a good connection or vibe with a healthcare provider, I don't want them taking care of me. If that means I have an "issue", so be it.

I'm glad that folks have had a positive experience with Dr DeTolla. His practice has been open for years, so I'm sure he does good work. He just wasn't the guy for me. Your mileage may vary.
