Donna Mcrae2024-08-25Team at Time to Smile Dental are the best. They're extremely caring of the patient and the dental work is absolutely perfect, highly skilled and up to date knowledge and use of technology.
Andrea Bendtsen2024-08-18I'm almost ashamed to share this, but if helps even one person then it's worth it! I haven't been to the dentist to have a cleaning or much needed dental work in over 20 years. I know, I know, disgusting. But in my defense who wants to go to the dentist and be tortured? All of my experiences since childhood have been the worse moments in my life which caused an unhealthy fear of. And add to that the hate hate relationship and I have with metal and that takes it even next level. Now looking back I think it was probably more the metals fault then the actual dentist, so I'm probably not being very fair to the dentist themselves, but still. Seriously though, I am extremely super sensitive to metal and if it slightly touches my teeth whoa it zings my entire body in not a good way! Even if I touch a metal with my hands that's too strong it goes through my entire body as well. So you can imagine why I hate the dentist office cause that's all they use, but knowing I had an issue with my tooth I was at a point if having no choice but to go. My search started for a dentist that would be patient and understanding and thank God I found Dr Hathaway at Time To Smile. Based on his reviews I just knew I had to give them a chance. Im proud to say I didn't cancel, I showed up, and I actually walked in the doors and was greeted by the friendliest staff ever. I met with his assistant who had the sweetest loving nature. She went above and beyond to make me as comfortable as possible and when I met Dr Hathaway it was just the cherry on top. He knew of my sensitivity and used an actual long q-tip to do my exam. Once we found out all the work that needed to be done including my deep cleaning we scheduled an appointment where I would be sedated. I felt like this was exactly what I needed and so grateful for having this option. Day of appointment all I remember is taking my pill and getting ready to go and next waking up at home nice and comfy in bed! You need someone to take care of you, but other than that, can you imagine not having to suffer though having a cleaning or dental work? They did everything I needed and I couldn't be happier. It was the best experience of my life especially because I didn't have to experience it at all! I'm so so grateful and feel blessed by Dr Hathaway and his team. I will scream from the rooftops of how amazing he is and will recommend him to everyone! Thank you Dr Hathaway for being so kind, patient, empathetic, and understanding of patients like myself, I know how much you care and how much you wanted to help give me the best dental health possible. 🙏🏻🩷
