What do our patients have to say about us? Click here to find out.

We are proud to participate in the "Bear Town Bears" public art project, a cooperative effort with local artists in which life-sized, hand-painted bears have been placed throughout New Bern. The bear is the historic symbol of New Bern, and the project is part of the celebration of the town's 300th anniversary.

The name of our bear, "Dr. Paw", is a word play on "Dr. Hand", and was suggested by one of our patients. He has the distinction of being the only smiling bear in the project, and is holding a toothbrush, wearing a dental mask, and shows instruments and a latex glove in his coat pockets. Special thanks is given to Molly Knazek for her artistry and creativity.

Dr. Paw is placed in recognition of three generations of Hand family dentists in downtown New Bern, and graces the entrance to the office building's parking area.

About this web site - a note from Dr. Hand

This web site, which I personally created and maintain, is one of my office's many efforts at providing useful and practical information. If you are already a patient, thank you for your support, and your suggestions. Being your dentist is a privilege. If you are looking for a dentist, I hope you will consider my office.
