We value your feedback
We absolutely love Dr. Hughes and his staff. They are so patient and kind, and they truly take the time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. My kids actually look forward to their appointments and never want to leave—which says a lot for a dental office! From the front desk to the dental chair the whole team is warm, welcoming, and makes every visit such a positive experience. I couldn’t recommend them more!
I can’t recommend this dentist enough! He was the only one who could get me in right away for my wisdom tooth, and he was super kind, gentle, and made sure the procedure was virtually painless. My swelling was minimal, which was such a relief. The assistant was amazing too, she even held my hand when I needed it! And the front desk staff were absolutely pleasant and helpful. Truly a 10,000/10 experience. Highly recommend!
I’ve had temporary implants for years. The original dentists botched it. They keep breaking and interrupting my life. Many other dentists said they can’t fix it. Devastating. I had an appointment with Dr. Hughes and his staff. He said yes, he can fix it. I am incredibly grateful. 💯 …
Dr. Hughes and his staff…including hygienist Michelle, JP, Tammy, always make me feel so good about visiting the Dentist!! LOL No, really-I have never had a bad experience there. And I have spent hours in those chairs (oral surgery etc.)!! It’s definitely the best dental experience I’ve ever had…
