Virginia Angelico Tatum,D.D.S.

South 28th Avenue feels like the quiet backbone of Hattiesburg’s midtown—tree-lined, steady, the kind of street where neighbors wave and the sidewalks stay clean. Virginia Angelico Tatum, D.D.S. fits right in, tucked between the hardware store and the old pharmacy. It’s the sort of dental office that doesn’t need a neon sign; word-of-mouth and the brick storefront have kept it on the map for years.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are the bread and butter here, but they also handle extractions and basic cosmetic work like whitening or bonding. The place isn’t flashy about it—just solid care without the upsell pitch. You’ll find it at 1623 S 28th Ave, Hattiesburg, MS 39402, a block past the traffic light where Hardy Street bends toward the university. No need to hunt for parking; the lot out front is usually half-empty.

If you’re overdue for a check-up or just need a problem looked at, give them a ring at (601) 261-5500. They’ll pencil you in without the runaround. For directions, pull up the map here—it’s a straight shot from downtown or the interstate.
