The best place in town to get any dental work done! I absolutely hate the dentist but she made me feel relaxed and did the work I needed. Big shoutout to Dr. hunt, both Heathers, Brittany, Joann, and Michelle were all amazing at helping me get through the pain I was in. Thank you so much and this will definitely be the only dentist office I trust!

This is by far the best Dental experience I have ever had. Covid protocol is second to none and office runs like a Swiss watch. The Doc actually sit down and had a conversation about options.

I have been very fortunate to have found the best dentist in Valdosta, Georgia. Dr. Mili Hunt and her professional team went out of their way to make sure that I got the very best of comfort and care. Dr. Hunt is very knowlegeable and takes the time to explained every procedure in great detail and answered all of my questions with complete professionalism. They started me off with food since I had skipped breakfast. During my procedure, Dr. Hunt hummed the entire time, making me feel so relaxed. Later in the evening, she called me to make sure that I was doing fine and advised me to call her if I experenced any problems. I would recommend this office hands down! Best first experience ever.

Dr. hunt and her team rocks! It's the first time I've ever felt dental procedure is kinda pleasant (Not exaggerating, my case was kinda hard and I was anticipating some sort of pain during procedure. But nope! I didn't experience a single discomfort, not even the anesthesia injection)! I really appreciate Dr. Hunt's skill and most importantly, she cares! And I'm sure if you ever encounter her, you will feel it too!

I do not recommend this dentist. First off when you go, you aren't supposed to wear any perfume because the doctor has allergies. (Not my problem) Second she hums the whole time she is doing the dental work. I also don't like the fact that she made snide remarks in regards to what she would and would not do upon my requests. I am the patient and the customer and she would not let me make the decision of what I wanted so I had to take what she was willing to do. In return I have two crowns that are now loose. She made remarks to the assistant about, "I'm not going to do that with a dirty tooth, I'm just not gonna do it". This is something that could have been fixed-people go to the dentist because they have a cavity/issue going on. I was already embarrassed to go to the dentist and her remarks made my experience even worse. Every time I went to her office she was sniffling like she had a cold while hovering over my face. I paid more than $5000 for dental work that is NO GOOD and has to be redone. The dental office looks old and the rooms are really small, the bathroom is even smaller. The receptionist with the weird name was the nicest one to me, everyone else treated me like I was a child. Oh and don't get me started on the hygentist, I got the speech about how I should know that sugar is bad for my teeth and the reason I have these "problems" is because I drink soda. I just felt humiliated and cheated in the end. Money spent that was just wasted, only to have to find another dentist and have it redone. So in my opinion, if you have perfect teeth and just need a cleaning, go for it. If you need a lot of work done, I do not recommend this rude lady.
