I love going to the dentist. I love getting the gunk scraped off, I love getting my teeth polished, and I even enjoy getting cavities filled. Why? Because Dr. Blanck and his amazing group make it so easy to love – it always feels like I’m at a spa. Full disclosure, I have been a patient with Dr. Blanck for a solid 22 years. The last 5 – 6 have been inconsistent but even when I lived in China, I pretty much came back to Dr. Blanck(sans insurance) for a cleaning and checkup. Reasons why I gush about him: 1. He is the calmest person you will ever meet. I remember when I was 6 or 7 and had to get cavities done, he made the entire process extremely comfortable. I was never ever afraid to put my teeth in his hands. 2. He always tells you what needs to be done and puts you first in any suggestion he makes. His recommendations are alway provided with sound reasoning but he always always knows that the end decision is yours and no one else’s. He will never push for a procedure when it’s not needed and certainly not to make more money. 3. His staff love him. That’s all you need to know. They enjoy working with him, the office atmosphere is always friendly and family-like. He seems to choose the most competent people for dental assistants and technicians. Many for his staff have been there since I was in elementary school. Enough said. *side note on staff: I love them. They are an amazing group of people and actually take time to ask you questions, answer those you have and just plain give a darn! 4. He is just so darn sweet. 5. He has two office locations! I could seriously gush about him and his office to you all day long but I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have such a great dentist until recently when I got too busy to come up to vt for a visit. Long story short, although the work at other places may be decent, the quality of care and dental work itself does not compare to that of Dr. Blanck’s. If this review leaves you with more questions, please please feel free to contact me. Be forewarned: I will continue gushing about him so you might as well just book that appointment! Great for all ages!
