In 1959, the family dentistry practice of Dr. Max C. Haws was first established by his father Dr. Karl N. Haws, Jr. Dr. Max C. Haws continues providing excellent dental care as owner. Although Dr. Haws practices general dentistry, he has extended his training to practice limited endodontics and microsurgery procedures including placing implants. He makes a concerted effort to be current on dental innovations taking lectures of leading specialists. Another unique aspect of his practice is that a third of his patients include children unsurprisingly, since his kind nature is well noticed. All of our patients enjoy his conservative approach to dentistry.
Dr. Haws and his wife, Kelli, have four children. They enjoy spending time with the family including dirt biking and cheering on his favorite Boise State football team. At home, he runs a Haas avocado orchard and serves as an active leader in his community. Some of Dr. Haws philanthropic interests include supporting local charities.
Our hygienist Mike, grew up in Santa Barbara and has been a member of Dr. Haws team for eight years. He enjoys any activities that involve being outdoors. Some of his favorite activities include surfing, water skiing, and off road motor cycling. Mikes favorite part of working at Dr. Haws office is the friendships that he has gained with patients and colleagues.
Lisa is a Registered Dental Assistant raised in Santa Barbara and has been working in general dentistry for 20 years. In addition to providing all of our patients with a healthy smile, Lisa enjoys exercising, loves animals and spending time with her daughter.

I was having a lot of pain I spoke to the receptionist Thursday 5/5 she scheduled me for Monday. I live in Ventura and drove to my appointment, when I got there she told me that I was scheduled for Wednesday 5/11. I explained that I was in pain, she did not care nor tried to fit me in nor apologize for her mistake. I decided to never go back there and start fresh someone else. I would not recommend this place.

Dr. Haws and his hygienists are great - friendly, knowledgeable and really put you at ease. They have been great for our four kids too - so much better than the pediatric dentist we were taking them to previously who scared them. (Watching movies while getting your teeth cleaned helps, too!).

My daughter and i have been going to Dr. Haws for 25 years. We travel one hour to see him and his staff now that we have left Santa Barbara. There is no one more honest or better. Period.

I never fear going to the dentist! The entire crew is wonderful and very professional. Dr. Max Haws is wonderful about putting a video on the screen to help take my mind to another place while he does his work. I (Marti, Tim's wife) have been helped by his practice for at least 15 yrs.

I have always had excellent experiences at Dr. Haws' office. Mike-the-hygienist is terrific - very professional and a great guy. Dr. Haws is an excellent dentist. I've been going to him for ten years and have never had a problem in his office. Even the root canal he did was not a bad experience.

I have been going to Dr. Haws for years, and it's always a pleasant experience. Nice professional office, friendly staff, good work, and Dr. Haws himself is always sharp, upbeat, and positive, while his skill and experience really shine through. Overall it's just a nice, healthy, positive experience and has never strayed from that in the many years I've gone there.

Dr. Haws is probably the best dentist I have ever had. Over the years, I have enjoyed his conservative approach to saving my teeth, and when I did need work done, he has been very careful to make it as pain-free as possible.
