We tried another local dentist before being referred to Dr. Walter, and he is so much better! Things we specifically like: he's nice, his staff is pleasant and never dismissive, fillings have stayed put (other work elsewhere fell out), he doesn't *insist* on x-rays, he's always been on time, and he has Saturday hours. Even my 3 year old granddaughter was comfortable in his chair for her first "getting used to the dentist" visit. I would definitely recommend Dr. Walter to my friends and I would recommend him to you as well.
