Change of review. They are greedy, unhelpful, rude and inconsiderate. My account has been deleted and i'll be taking my needs elsewhere since it seems like you guys don't care to actually help people. Not that it's surprising that a business is only after taking everything they can from poor people who can't afford simple healthcare. 0/10

New ownership. It is now strictly run as a profit-oriented business - very efficient like a lube and oil change or fast food franchise. The previous owner was very personable - I felt like I was an inconvenience to the new owner. Not a problem - I am going somewhere else now. The vast majority of businesses are about people at a basic level - not everyone understands that. I hope he/they figure it out. Best wishes to them.

My family has used this group since the 80's. Dentists have retired and new ones come on board and always great. Greg Hawthorn is the best guy going.

I've been seeing Dr. Hawthorne since I went to ISU over a decade ago. I actually drive up from out of town. The staff is friendly and I think they do a great job. I would recommend this office to anyone in the area.
