What\u2019s even more important, though, is the people in our office. We always do our best to leave you feeling like we\u2019ve taken great care of you and your smile. At the forefront of our talented team are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgewooddentalmc.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">two remarkable dental doctors<\/a>. Would you like to get to know them a bit better?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Dr. Valerie Haughtington<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Haughtington is a Michigan City native who takes a truly empathetic approach to dentistry. In fact, when she was a child, she had a bad experience with a dentist that left her very fearful about getting her teeth worked on. Things turned around, though, when she visited a pediatric dentist who assuaged her anxiety and put her at ease.<\/p>\n<p>She still remembers those contrasting experiences vividly and uses them as motivation to go the extra mile to ensure that her patients can have a positive view of dentistry. When she isn\u2019t continuing her dental education or making her patients\u2019 smiles shine, she loves to spend time with her family and her dog.<\/p>\n<h2>Dr. Vidas Noreika<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Noreika loves the residents of his local community and takes great pride in providing top-notch dental care to them. He always takes the time to make sure his patients understand their oral health and any treatment he recommends. After all, an informed patient is more likely to take responsibility for their oral health and make confident decisions that benefit their smile.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Noreika grew up in the Michigan City area, but he is proud to be the child of immigrants. He enjoys visiting his family roots in Lithuania, and he likes to converse in the Lithuanian language (feel free to practice with him if you\u2019re learning Lithuanian). Dr. Noreika loves the natural beauty of the Michigan City area and spends plenty of time outdoors, so you can always chat about your favorite hiking spots with him!<\/p>\n<h2>A Commitment to Excellent Care<\/h2>\n<p>Both of our doctors are highly educated and skilled individuals who genuinely care for their patients, but you don\u2019t have to take our word for it. Here is just a sample of some of the positive things people are saying about your dentist in Michigan City:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Vidas and Dr. Valerie are very in tune with their patients and care about their staff. It shows in the effort they take to make sure everyone has a great experience.\u201d \u2014 Ryan Forster (Google review)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best experience you could have at a dentist! Dr. Vidas Noreika and the entire staff is very professional, helpful and friendly.\u201d \u2014 Matas Skeberdis (Google review)<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud of our five-star reviews and are eager to earn more. Why not give us a try as your family dentist in Michigan City?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our two doctors and everyone else in our office very much hope that you\u2019ll choose us as your \u201cdentist near me.\u201d We\u2019re confident that once you experience the caring, skilled service we offer, you\u2019ll never feel the need to go elsewhere for dental care.
