"Most people have a family dentist. Someone you call to schedule a cleaning or address a tooth problem. I live quite a distance from Bend and recently had a sudden dental need. I reached out to Dr. Dondo who worked me into his busy schedule and rescued me! He had me on my way with a painless fix! A dentist who "pivots quickly" to make room for a first time patient deserves high praise!! Is it too much to say I may move to Bend because I know a great dentist?! Don't tempt me! Grateful for you Dr. Dondo!!"
