DENTISTRY
A Rhode Island’s premier multi-specialty dental
practice. We have ten dentists in our practice, and
according to owner Dr. Andrea Barone, Jr.,“The
benefit to our patients is that they don’t have to
go anywhere else for their dental care.”Providing
the best dental care for each patient is our priority.
We want to make sure that you have a smile that
you are proud to flash to everyone especially with
all the “selfie” pictures being taken. And if you are
looking for a convenient dentist, we have office
hours during the week as late as 7 p.m. and on
Saturdays until 1 p.m. We invite you to experience
a dental office that has been included in Rhode
Island Monthly as “Top Dentists.”

Fifteen days later, he called me and said
“Frank. I want you to come here because
I need loyalty.” I told him I already had a
job, but I went and applied to the Department
of Business Regulation and I got a
job as a bank examiner for the state. After
a few years, I took an exam to become
the chief bank examiner. Everyone who
took the test failed it except me. One of
my friends said, “Well they gotta give
you the job. You’re the only one who
passed.” And I said, “You never know
how politics work.”
They appointed somebody else. When
I saw this, I went to my representative,
Joe Bevilacqua. They ended up creating
a new job, chief credit union examiner,
just for me. Because the credit unions
were coming up at the time, they were
very jubilant to have a leader represent
them. They gave me a testimonial dinner
on the nineteenth floor of the Biltmore
Hotel. It was a great time and my kids
enjoyed going up and down, up and down
on the elevators.

we would find them a place to live, and
furnish the whole house,” she says. “We
would help find them jobs and get them
clothes.
“I always worked for organizations I
cared about. My Temple Beth-El, the
RISD Museum [as an associate and board
member], at the Miriam Hospital, Butler
Hospital [now celebrating its 175th anniversary],
my favorite Camp Jori and Meals
on Wheels,” she says.
Her husband died in 1999, and in 2008
she moved to Laurelmead, where she participates
in exercise classes like yoga and
aerobics, enjoys sing-alongs with friends
and plays duplicate bridge twice a week.
“I love my life at Laurelmead,” she says.
“It’s like a spa, summer camp and college
because there are lectures, concerts and
entertainment and wonderful people
from all walks of life.”
She also goes to the theater, including
the Gamm and Trinity Rep, Rhode Island
Philharmonic concerts and visits the
RISD Museum.
