My wife and I have both visited Dr Hess. My wife had a gum issue and I got (and am getting) implants.
Look, no one enjoys going to the dentist, but professionals like Dr Hess (and his staff) truly do make all the difference in the world. He's extremely professional, personable, and honest. How do I know? Because when I first went to him it was for a second opinion. A previous dentist told me I needed a $3,200 procedure. After a thorough exam Dr Hess told me I didn't need it. Now, THAT was a surprise. But there you go.
I trust Dr Hess completely and highly recommend anyone requiring services like he provides to make an appointment and go. You will not be disappointed.
