DENTIST Middletown, CT

I am thrilled to write this glowing review & recommendation for ADVANCED FAMILY & COSMETIC DENTISTRY of MIDDLETOWN, CT. I was with this practice and Dr. Nelson for about 17 years until I moved an hour away to Groton. It was an excellent practice then and has now morphed Into Outstanding. This is a class act right down to the waiting room and lit fireplace that gives the impression of an elegant living room. Traci runs the front desk reception area in a welcoming and professional manner. Dr. Pavlakis takes time and treats me as a total person not just a mouthful of teeth. He answered all my questions and took care of all of my concerns to the point of calling me, and finding out if I was OK on the days of the appt. (I'm a senior & dislike driving). His dental assistant, Aggie, anticipates his next request before he even opens his mouth. The appointment runs very smoothly. He made sure that time was made for me when my partial was completed earlier than anticipated. He knew that I was anxious to finally have teeth since the previous practice had me waiting 9 months with no teeth. The entire process took only 2 visits! This practice is run like a well-oiled machine. The staff is top quality and all do their jobs seamlessly.
My new teeth are gorgeous! I can't believe that in the few days of having my new teeth, the black cloud of depression, isolation, lack of confidence, and self-esteem has greatly lifted. I'm feeling energized to go back out into the world instead of being embarrassed by having half of my mouth emotionally & physically decimated by the previous dental practice. For a senior, this is vital to combating loneliness which is deadly to the elderly. I feel whole again.
