Dr.Ward and his staff are excellent in every aspect of their practice. It's such a blessing to feel good about going to the dentist, even when fillings are involved. They are very thorough, skilled, caring, and considerate! I love my hygienist, Zena! I highly recommend Hamilton Mill Dental Center!

Best dentist our family has ever had, Dr.Ward is both kind and highly skilled. His staff provides excellent service. Moved and switched to another dentist for convenience, then switched again when I had a bad experience, then had another bad experience at the last practice too. Now I just make the drive back to see Dr. Ward.

Always a fantastic dental office. I've been going there for almost 20 years, and their service always gets better. Donna was fantastic and probably the best, most comfortable cleaning I've had, hands down.

Quite literally the best and most comprehensive dental care I've had in my life. Even though I had never been to the clinic until recently, the staff at the clinic made me feel like at home as I came in for a dental cleaning for the first time since COVID hit. My hygienist Zena and Dr. Ward are awesome!

I have been going to Dr. Ward for almost 20 years! I no longer live in that area and I still continue to go to Hamilton Mill Dental Center. The front office staff is beyond competent! They are always professional and interactive with their patients. I have been with Carol, my dental hygienist, for all these and she is always professional, friendly and extremely competent! Besides Dr. Ward being an extremely competent and thorough , he truly cares about his patients and the same goes for Dr. Uyen! The facility and treatment rooms are always clean and their equipment is up to date.

This dental office is very thorough when it comes to your dental exam. Be careful though, they try to break appointments up into several appointments which could mean an out of pocket cost for you. (hence only the 4 stars). I basically had to tell them that I would need my cleaning done in one appointment and not 2, since that is what my insurance allows. (dentist said it would be so long, that I should do 2 appointments) The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was FANTASTIC, and was able to clean my teeth in under an hour. The place over all is great and the staff is super friendly. Just be aware of the over sale of appointments and devices.

Dr. Ward was referred to me by a co-worker. I had a really bad crown experience with a previous dentist and the crown needed to be re-done. I was hesitant due to my previous experience but Dr. Ward and his entire staff were WONDERFUL. They helped me with the pain until they could get me in to fix the numerous issues and put me on an emergency wait list. They called me in much sooner than anticipated and they started the process to fix the crown. A lot more had to be done than initially thought and he was very thorough, took his time and was also very gentle. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
