Staff was extremely friendly and professional. I received expert care. Dr. Hess made me feel like an old friend rather than a new patient. I would give this office an A+ all around. I'm happy to have found my new dentist!

What a find! Dr. Hess is a top tier dentist as well as a compassionate and caring person. His staff is highly trained, explaining every detail and are a delight to interact with. They set up treatment plans only after discussing all options and taking into consideration our dental health, insurance & finances.

Had a Great experience, except for the lady who cleaned my teeth, she didn't let me pick what paste I wanted my teeth cleaned with. I was told it was her decision and hers only. ( Dr. Hess please talk to her )

The staff is very service oriented, appts are on time, and the dentist came outside to update me on how it went for my 93 yr old mother. Excellent service and cost was very fair !
