I have been to Dr. Cotty's office a handful of times, with the last time being this week. As always, the staff was awesome and Dr. Cotty was great. I am scheduled for a root canal and the always go out of their way to work around my work schedule. They are honest and upfront about the treatment you need and pricing! I highly recommend this doctor!!

Dr. Cotty and his staff have become like a wonderful family for me. The last appointment for
my long treatment was yesterday and I was sad to go. I plan to stop by and see those Fantastic people many times.... in the future.

More about Dr. David Cotty, DMD
What made you become a dentist?
Actually, this was all my mothers fault. She noticed early on that I was very good with my hands and so when the time came to decide which way to go after college, she always encouraged me to get good grades and work hard on my term papers to be able to study dentistry. I think all she wanted was a dentist in the family.
And did you follow her advice?
Well, obviously I did. I finished college College of Charleston and continued my education there, at the Medical University of SC where I graduated as a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 1985.
What do you like most about being a dentist?
I love all of it. I consider myself blessed to wake up in the morning to work in a profession I truly love and I am able to help my patients. Dentistry to me is like a canvas to an artist. I enjoy the creative process of being a dentist, the craftsmanship and the challenges that I have to face every day.
Please describe for our readers the two most important customer service concepts you've implemented in your practice.
Number 1: We Listen! Oftentimes patients feel rushed and ignored when they go to a doctor's office? We understand that feeling. That's why, at our office, we make it a daily commitment to listen to our patients needs.
Number 2: “We are gentle!” The most important issue in our approach to dentistry is taking time to be gentle and careful. We like to take our time, do a terrific job on your teeth, and get to know you as patient and as a friend. It's important that you, as the client, have the ultimate decision to choose to (1) do nothing, (2) to do some of the dentistry we recommend, or (3) to complete all of the fine dentistry that we feel is ideal for you!"

Everyone who works in this office assures your comfort. Rosa used essential oils and massage to relax me. The front office staff are welcoming and helpful. Dr. Cotty is able to do everything in his office, including crowns which are produced in his office. One stop shopping. Excellent. Let us support our local people.
