Dr. Virginia A Plaisted

“I have been a patient at the Bethlehem office since January 2008. Having recently moved into the area, I was keen to find a dentist I felt comfortable with. Dr. Plaisted has turned out to be that dentist. She has an easy-going, informative demeanor and her work is nothing short of artistic! I feel like my mouth is her canvas. The staff is colloquial, friendly and very helpful. State-of-the-art equipment, techniques and patient education. I’m extremely pleased with what my smile has become under her care and look forward to improving it even more!” - John H., Delmar, NY
