Areas of Clinical Focus
The procedures and disciplines Dr. Dobrin focuses on day to day in Davis Square.
Patient-centered, conservative care
Our approach is patient-centered. While generally conservative, we listen to our patients' wishes to establish a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle and budget.
Our equipment is always current and state-of-the-art — but our approach to patient care is traditional. There are often many treatment options for the same problem, and we work to find the one that fits each patient best.
