About
Dr. Friend and Dr. Lawrence's primary focus is to offer the highest level of patient care so that you will enjoy the daily benefits of a healthy mouth. They provide a comprehensive menu of dental health services designed to build the best smile possible while focusing on cosmetic, implant and reconstructive procedures. A special focus at the office is people with migraines, chronic headaches and/or facial pain. Many people think they have "TMJ problems". Frequently this is not the case. Often we have very simple and conservative procedures, which can help if not completely stop these chronic headaches. Explore docfriend.com to learn more about our people oriented dental practice.

5 stars Fiori G Featured review
My visits with Dr. Collie have been beyond exceptional! He is very kind, personable, and customer service oriented. During the procedure he would periodically stop and ask how I was doing. I really appreciated the fact that he was invested in making sure I had a comfortable and pain free experience. His friendly nature and easy going personality only added to the superior service I received.
I think the entire staff at RVA Dental Care does a great job of making you feel like a valued patient. I would recommend this practice to anyone!!!
Hi Fiori! Thank you for the glowing review! Your kind words are very much appreciated! We love having you as a patient, and look forward to seeing you next time - Chris

Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic
The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I feel like they really listen to you and your concerns without judgement. My old vet had tried my cat on three different kinds of prescription diet food with no weight loss success. After coming to Betty Baugh's, they suggested a simple, high protein, wet food that I could get at any pet store. My cat has lost 10lbs to date and is so much healthier and happier. I feel like my kitties are in really good hands and I am very thankful.Read More …
