Catawba Valley Dental: Pate Raymond G DMD,PA

"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Pate for years and feel he and his dental technicians are simply the best! Kind, thoughtful, attentive and they explain what’s going on. I always feel listened to and they definitely want my feedback. I usually see dental technician Janice and she’s very empathetic and kind as well as thorough - a great job for my 6 month check up."

"I put off returning to the dentist for way too long. I was nervous and scared. Some dental issues arose that required I buck up and go in. From the reception area, to the hygienist and then Dr. Pate, I was made comfortable and put at ease. I was allowed to listen to my favorite podcast and I was asked about my comfort level often. In less than an hour I was completely finished. I'm very happy I decided to see Dr. Pate. I highly recommend Catawba Valley Dentistry."

"Dr Pate is a professional from the very start. His career has been built on his ability to show his patient's they are valued by demonstrating excellent service and mastered workmanship. My insurance is not in his coverage, but I feel he is whom I want to take care of my teeth. He is the BEST! I am willing to take on the extra fees not covered by insurance, because I know the service will be done correctly the first time!"

"Dr. Pate and his staff are wonderful. I've seen them for many years sometimes off and on - due to life. He's always been considerate of my pain level. Including his realization that my nerves are not in the exact typical locations. That kind of care and consideration has been hard to find for me, sadly. Also, my crown that he did was absolutely perfect.The original tooth was at a 45 degree angle from wisdom teeth crowding. He shaped it to align with the rest of my teeth. My first experience with a dentist at 12 years old, was one who numbed a spot, but I could still feel a stubborn baby tooth being pulled. He also suggested my front lower teeth would need a type of cutting? - along the gum line to give them room. That was a discussion for my parents, not me. With those kinds of experiences it's hard to find someone you can trust. I trust Dr. Pate explicitly. The only downside is a good professional always gathers a lot of attention and clients. I have been able to still get in to be seen. But that is just a further sign of his and his staff's quality."

"Excellent customer service from the time you enter the front door until the time you exit. Dr. Pate and staff are the kindest, most genuine people. They always have their patients' best interest in mind and go above and beyond to provide quality of care. Dr. Pate is very knowledgeable and his skill level is impeccable. I can't say enough good things about this office and would highly recommend it to everyone."
