Dr. Eric Chatterley

"The best!"

"Ethical, Caring, Trustworthy, Patient-centered, Outstanding Dentist My family & I highly recommend Dr. Eric Chatterley & his entire staff at Family Dentistry in the Safeway shopping center! I speak from the perspective of patient & mom - he sees our whole family (me, my husband, my kids, and my sister, too), as well as several friends now! I have seen Dr. Chatterley for the past 8 years. He is wonderful, caring, thorough, non-judgmental, and very knowledgeable. Something I frequently tell Dr. Chatterley is that he legitimately is THE BEST at giving numbing shots. He doesn’t just put the numbing gel on and then wait a few seconds or even just a few minutes before doing the shot – he truly lets it set in before the shot. He’s not there to “rush you through.” Not once have I had any discomfort from the shot. Moreover, he constantly checks in with you while working on your teeth to make sure you’re feeling ok & seeing if there’s anything he can do for your comfort. I completely trust Dr. Chatterley with my care and what he says needs to be addressed. He is also always available if I have any follow-up questions or need a quick check. He fields questions about my other kids’ needs even when it’s a siblings appointment. Additionally, he and his staff go out of their way to be helpful – for example, I had a question about a different health issue that seemed it could impact oral health and within a matter of days I received a packet at my house with related information and research that Dr. Chatterley had taken the time to look up and his staff sent to me. Seriously, they’re amazing! Dr. Chatterley has done fillings for my kiddos & not one complaint from them. No tears, no fear, no concerns - he walks them through the process and makes it as easy as possible for them. He completely understands how to approach a child and help them be as comfortable and at ease as possible. I am so very thankful to him for making the dentists office a place they feel welcome and safe, as well as never having to ‘fight’ over going. My kids are so at ease with Dr. Chatterley that in one instance in which one of my kids had a permanent tooth bulldozing its way through the baby tooth, causing it to crack, it was determined that the best course of action was to have Dr. Chatterley safely pull the baby tooth out. He did such a great job with her that she actually ASKS to go see him for anything tooth related – “Mom, Dr. Chatterley can totally take care of this!” (I am not kidding – best numbing shots in the business!) We all have our cleanings done at Family Dentistry as well – his dental hygienists are wonderful. They will take their time and you can let them know if you need some ‘hand holding’ so to speak. My kiddos have most frequently been seen by Betsy and Tanya; my kids love how personable they are and how they interact with them. Everyone genuinely makes an effort to get to know each patient. You can always count on the staff here to make you feel welcome, listened to, cared for, and your needs will be met. All of the assistants are incredible and make sure you feel the best possible during the appointment. Kimberley is also amazing! She has been so helpful with coordinating appointments and schedules, working with us to get the kids in together so we can make one trip each time & minimize school disruptions. She’s also on it when it comes to insurance - for example, my insurance company sent me a letter saying they needed a copy of specific information, but I wasn’t sure what exactly needed to be done overall to complete the request so I contact Kim and she said, “It’s already taken care of - I sent in what they needed.” It was amazing to have one thing taken off my plate because she was proactive in seeing that come across her desk and got it done herself for me! Truly, if you’re looking for an amazing dentist with awesome staff and a truly welcoming environment with people that genuinely care, consider Dr. Chatterley & Family Dentistry!!!"
