Practice Philosophy
Over the years, Dr. Harmon and Dr. Garlick have had the opportunity to provide exceptional dental care to this community. Their tireless dedication to the well-being of their patients has made our office a pillar of this community since the 1950s. Now it is Dr. Corey’s turn to carry on their legacy and preserve the collective values that have allowed patients to receive such high-quality personalized care for over six decades. We invite you to learn about some of these values below.
Too often, doctors assume they know what is best without really understanding the thoughts and concerns of their patients. We believe in listening first in order to customize the care that we provide. This philosophy has helped us to have a better connection with our patients and provide our patients with treatment that best fits their needs, budget, and lifestyle.
We value education:
Patient education is the cornerstone of what we do, and it is something that truly sets our office apart. We take the time to explain our patients’ dental health status, treatment options, and recommendations in a way that is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Our priority is to help our patients make informed decisions so that they can better achieve their dental health goals.
We value excellence:
We stand by our work because we are committed to doing things the right way. Our reputation for delivering high-quality dental care will remain at the forefront of our practice. We use only the best materials and techniques to ensure that your dental work is long-lasting and of the highest quality. We also prioritize ongoing education and training for our team so that we can continue to offer the latest and most advanced treatments available.
We value our unique setting:
Our Victorian-style 1880s home turned dental practice provides our patients with an extremely comfortable setting to receive dental care. It is our intention to make you feel at home in our office from the moment you walk in, and we believe that our unique setting helps us to accomplish this. We have worked very hard to create a place that is family-friendly, welcoming, and aligns with our desire to preserve the legacy of those who came before us.
We value community involvement:
At our dental office, we strongly believe that community involvement is not just a responsibility but a privilege. We recognize that we are part of a larger community and that our actions have the ability to positively impact the lives of those around us. By actively engaging in community outreach and events, we are able to give back to our community in meaningful ways and build relationships based on trust and mutual respect. We believe that a strong community is essential to our success as a dental practice, and we are proud to support and be a part of the community we serve.
As Dr. Corey brings this practice into the next generation of its existence, we will remain true to these core values. We are honored to have the opportunity to provide you with your dental care, and we look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
