Reviewed on March 16th, 2020 • Verified patientDr. Hooty and his staff were very friendly and professional. I found him to be very thorough in his exam and he explained everything very well. His staff was patient, considerate, and gentle. The billing portion was also easy. The staff took care to research and explain my insurance benefits and out-of-pocket costs. The new patient appointment did require a lot of forms to be filled out, so I'd recommend arriving 15 mins early. There are also no TVs to watch while you get your teeth cleaned, which I didn't mind (the cleaning itself was pretty quick) but may provide a distraction if you get anxious at the dentist. Very happy with my experience!Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[104496].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on January 16th, 2020 • Verified patientGood service, very thorough and took time to explain my dental health and treatment options. New patient forms via their online portal did not save/work, so I had to fill them out twice which is a negative, but hopefully that's a glitch and not the norm.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[96065].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on January 15th, 2020 • Verified patientThe second I walked into the office, everyone was so welcoming and inviting! My hygienist and Dentist were both informative and gentle, and they do take into consideration your feelings about the dentist (if fearful or what). The office was very inviting as well! They were undergoing some new software kinks, but that didn’t stop them from being great.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[96029].errors[0] }}

Dr Alayan was very gentle, quick and efficient. He was able to complete everything I needed and a filling repair in same visit. I made a follow up appointment and have found a new dentist! I recommend this practice.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[93460].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on November 5th, 2019 • Verified patientHow do you leave a 5 star review after a root canal? If you see Dr Hooty you'll know how. The whole staff is kind and efficient. My whole procedure was quick and literally painless. The payment options are explained up front so there are no surprises. I have found my new dental family! Many thanks to Dora, Karen, and Dr. Hooty.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[88565].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on October 24th, 2019 • Verified patientI had put off going to the dentist for years. Which caused my teeth to suffer dearly. Dr. Hooty Ayalan was able to help me make a plan to get me back on track to having healthy teeth. The staff was amazing at making me feel comfortable and helping me through the anxiety of going to the dentist. Would definitely recommend and will be going back for future visits.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[87109].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on July 31st, 2019 • Verified patientI had an amazing ext with this office. I called because I was hoping to find someone that could give me a cleaning without x-rays due to personal desires to avoid them. The lady at the front desk was so kind to explain that legally they have to take some but that they could do the minimum amount for my peace of mind. THEN they held my little girl who has horrible separation anxiety while I got my x-rays and went just above and beyond. The cleaning was probably the most thorough cleaning I've ever gotten! I'm so glad I got in today!Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[79448].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on June 27th, 2019 • Verified patientEveryone was super nice! The receptionist started off my great journey, she was kind and helpful. Dr. Hooty (not part of the Blowfish) was excellent. He explained everything so well I didn’t have a lot of questions, and he explained everything in layman terms (no dictionary needed) Laurie was awesome as well, she took care of me before and after the doctor. Great visit, I will be back.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[77112].errors[0] }}
