My son shared his comments on my account... but I wanted to share too! This place has been the BEST for our family. We've been coming here since our kiddos were small... now the oldest is 14! And my husband has been here well before that!! But this last week, I had all 3 of my kiddos in for 3 very different "procedures" - adjustment to braces, filling a cavity, and a lip/gum procedure. The ladies got us all in with overlapping appointments (which this busy mom appreciates!) and they took such good care of us. My older two did great and they were so kind to explain things and ease the nerves of my youngest. Can't say enough good things. Definitely worth the drive from Fort Wayne! So thankful to have Dr Hammond and his staff caring for our family.

I have been with the Family Dentistry for almost 42 years. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Hammond being there for me all these years and his staff. I have had many procedures done and especially happy with the results. The atmosphere in his facility is pleasant and of distinction with all the paintings and of course the fish. The dental assistants are highly experienced and put you at ease with their friendly smiles and with their Cordial greetings.
