From Newport it is about a fourteen-minute walk to our door, or one stop on the PATH to Grove Street followed by two minutes on foot. We are at 115 Christopher Columbus Drive, in the Medical Arts Plaza building.
Newport has dental options closer than that. We are going to make the case for the longer walk rather than pretend the distance away.
Why people walk the extra ten minutes
Newport is mostly high-rise rental. People move in, stay two or three years, and move on. Dental care in that kind of neighborhood tends to become a series of one-off visits to whoever was nearest at the time, with nobody holding the thread.
Charming Smile Dental has been in the same building for years and has more than 880 reviews on Google at 4.8 stars. Dr. Singal treats her own patients. If you come back in three years, the person looking at your x-rays will be the person who took the last set.
Whichever practice you choose around here, read its recent Google reviews rather than the star average on its own. The reviews from the last few months tell you more about how an office is running today than the headline number does.
