What patients say

Vibe: professional

The practice receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (12 of 13 five-star ratings) praising staff professionalism, Dr. Hauschka's expertise, and clear insurance communication. However, one significant negative review highlights inconsistency issues: a patient's experience with a substitute dentist and hygienist resulted in aggressive cavity recommendations that contradicted prior assessments, and lack of advance notice about provider substitution caused frustration. This suggests quality depends heavily on which provider patients see.
