My mom has gone to Dr. Houseman's office ever since it was run by his father, and I personally have gone to Dr. Houseman since I was about 5 (I'm now 29). I can honestly tell you that he is wonderful! He really cares about his patients, and takes great pride in the work that he does. He has even made an emergency visit to the office on a Thanksgiving day for my mom who was in excruciating pain from an exposed nerve in one of her teeth before! The rest of the staff is amazing as well! Jasmine is the one who always cleans my teeth, and she is very gentle yet thorough! I enjoy getting to go to the dentist which is something I know most people don't get to say! This one makes itself like a second family, and you won't regret visiting them! My daughter just turned 2, and I look forward to when I get to take her for her first visit!

Having moved to the Riverbend area recently, I delayed finding another dentist to replace my wonderful dentist in Virginia, Dr. Jeff Weisberg. Would another dentist ever measure up to Dr. Jeff, and appreciate my eccentricities, and be able to deal with my panic attacks in the chair? So, I procrastinated. (I must add that I also had a very good experience at College Avenue Dentists in Alton, IL [and wrote a positive review on them], but I wanted to find someone a little closer to my home in Jersey County.) I went to Dr. Houseman's office in Jerseyville to make my first appointment. I wanted to just get a "feel" for the place and the people. As an architectural historian, I was delighted to see that his office is housed in a classic Mid-Century ranch-type commercial building in mostly original condition, and the waiting room was decorated with Mid-Century Modern furnishings and accoutrements! Nice touch! As I was scheduling an appointment, Dr. Houseman walked past and I got a glimpse of him. He looked at me and smiled warmly. I think this guy was a Zen Master in a previous life. He's the most peaceful dentist I've ever encountered. Today, I was in that chair for two hours, and throughout the experience, everyone was very attentive and gentle and thoughtful and soft-spoken and so very kind. I'm 60 years old and I've had dozens of dental cleanings, but Jasmine gave me the most thorough dental cleaning of my lifetime. There were times that it was a little bit uncomfortable but it also felt real good to get that gunk off my teeth, and the discomfort lasted a few seconds and was gone. Dr. Houseman is, in every sense of the word, a true gentleman. He was patient and kind and perhaps best of all, the man knows his stuff. If you have always hoped that you could find a Bodhisattva that does good dental work, you might try Dr. Houseman. He really is THAT good. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the dentist. First rate.

My children and I have a long relationship with Doctor Houseman. He is the best doctor to fit your crowns and bridges. Not everybody can do it so perfect. He is a very detailed and extremely organized doctor. I really enjoyed all his work!!! Tatyana Molloy
