Never had any issues until now. I last saw this practice four years ago before I moved to another town. Now they've sent me a bill that I've never even seen before from a visit FOUR YEARS AGO -stating my insurance at the time "didn't cover some of the expenses". This is unheard of and completely unprofessional to wait FOUR YEARS to send a bill out.

As someone who's usually pretty nervous going to dentists, the staff made me feel right at home! I came in for a filling, and Dr. Hill as well as Tammy were so sweet! They took their time with me even as I was so sensitive. They made sure I was 100% comfortable before operating. I couldn't have asked for a better time here. I love all the caring and sweet staff, and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to come to this office. Highly recommend!

My husband and I adore Hill Family Dentistry. My husband has had bad experiences with dentists in the past and Dr. Hill and the hygienist, Nancy, made him feel safe and comfortable. He enjoys getting his teeth cleaned now! June, my hygienist is the sweetest! She is very knowledgeable and walks you through the cleaning processes step-by-step and gives great tips on how to improve you dental care routine. The receptionist, Rebecca is always a delight to deal with and has always answered my questions/concerns in a professional way.
