Dr. Hutchens and his team are fantastic. I have been here for several cleanings and two surgeries. The prices are reasonable even without insurance. They break down the cost upfront so you understand what you’re paying for. I will continue to go here even though it is not in network with my insurance because I trust every one here, especially Dr. Hutchens. They did not ask me to write this review but I feel that it is well earned. Thank you all for the great work that you do.

Dr. Hutchins and his staff are simply the best. Krishna does my cleanings and more and I am so blown away by her expertise in her craft and the way she takes the time to chronicle all of my health problems. I highly recommend you choose them for your dental needs.

This might be the absolute best doctor’s office I have ever been to! They are always on time. The staff is very friendly. And although I only went a few times, after the first time, they all knew who I was, and greeted me upon arrival. In addition, Dr. Hutchins was very personable, and focused on my personal care- not just dollar signs. After my surgery he even called me after hours to check on me. Didn’t know I would say this, but I’m actually kind of sad that my issue is cleared up and I will not be returning to see them again. I would give them five stars from the moment I walked in the door, through my procedure, and all the way up to leaving after my post-op appointment.

Dr. Hutchins and his staff are outstanding in every regard. The office is spotless and very well run and his staff very professional. Brittany cleaned my teeth this morning for the first time -truly I have never had my teeth cleaned to such a high standard -ever! But what sets Dr. Hutchins and his staff high above the rest is their genuine kindness and empathy. I left the office feeling really cared for and happy!

Due to trauma at a young age and an outrageous amount of time in braces, my front tooth decided to start causing problems. After many opinions my tooth was not able to be saved. Dr Hutchens and his assistant Hunter were so caring and helpful through this stressful time. The extraction and implant placement went so smooth and was absolutely painless. Both were very gentle and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole appointment. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs good work done!!!
