Dr. Hillary Van Dyke's passion for dentistry began in high school, when her local dentist offered her an opportunity to observe and assist at a dental clinic. From that very first job, the field of dentistry inspired her to be an asset and leader in the community.

Dr. Van Dyke pursued her undergrad in chemistry at South Dakota State University while graduating Cum Laude in 2010. Afterwards, she attended the UNMC College of Dentistry which furthered her love of dentistry as she was able to interact with patients to create a one-on-one relationship and provide them with smile changing care.

We started going to Embrace Dentistry at the beginning of 2022, this includes myself, and my two kiddos. I was calling because I had scheduled with another dental office and they couldn't even get me in the door because they where super disorganized. I made a call to Embrace, left a message, they got back to me within the hour and turned my stressful situation into a stress free one. The front office staff is one of a kind and super personal. I genuinely care about those ladies, they work their butts off! Now to the incredible Dr. Lisa Anderson, she is probably tired of seeing me by now, but good lord she is GIFTED. She did just about everything when it came to my teeth. She is the absolute best dentist I've experience, she's super knowledgeable, kind hearted, and just damn good at what she does. You can tell this is something she genuinely enjoys(I'm happy she does). She's quick, careful and precise; definitely hard to find someone like her. I'm here to say, she's entirely worth the wait and I'm happy to see the great reviews for this dental office, it's completely valid in every way. Coming from Houston, TX, the medical district of the world; even they cannot compete with this dental office. Im so happy the other place made a mistake that resulted in my magical experience here at Embrace Dentistry. Y'all are truly the best!

They told me I have to get multiple filings and when I shared my concerns they didn't care at all, I let two different Dentist check my teeth after that and they told me I don't need any fillings! Unfortunately I felt like they just wanted to get money out of it and didn't care about me.

Today was my first visit. From the moment I stepped in, to getting in the chair, to leaving, I was treated with nothing but kindness, compassion, and professionalism. They listened to my concerns, walked me through everything they were doing, and we discussed a dental plan that's going to help get my smile back. They also marked in my file my chosen name and correct pronouns. I've never experienced this with any other dentist. As long as they're around, they have my business.

Gotta get this off my chest. Been here twice now, vibe seemed very low both times. Maybe its just me. Ill still give 5 stars because I am not a bitter person. Maybe the third visit will be the charm.

I chose All About Smiles based on insurance provider recommendations, and I'm glad I did! My first appointment was so pleasant, my hygienist was GREAT......such a wonderful first impression! I have already set up my next appointment and am confident in their ability to move forward with me in my "long overdue"dental journey!

Had my teeth cleaned, my mouth hasn't bleed that badly since the accident I had on a bicycle years ago. Super sore gums, she scraped/stabbed my gums many times and when it came time to do the flossing, rather than do this gently, she pulled the floss across the gums. Not a happy camper

From my first appointment, Angie has been wonderful. She has made me feel welcome since day one and is the reason I continued to return. She is an asset to Embrace Dentistry. You don't see great service a lot anymore, so she should be appreciated! Dr. Lisa is great as well. She has been great at explaining procedures, dental plans...etc. I have dealt with some people that are far less than helpful but Angie has always come through if I wasn't able to get my questions answered.

I don't particularly enjoy the dentist, however, Dr. Reausaw, Dr. Anderson and the rest of the staff make the experience much more relaxing. Love them.

My visit was an awesome visit. I was treated very respectfully, and I was treated well by all the staff. They gave me all of my possible options to make my insurance money stretch to benefit me. Thank you for everything, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
