I was really nervous prior to the appointment. But I more of it than I should have. Everything was just perfect. Can't wait for my new teeth!
January 10, 2019Sacha K.Verified patient
I didn't even have to tell him what tooth was hurting because he knew right away which one it was. Got a root canal and a crown done in 2 weeks. It was a great experience and he is my go-to dentist indefinitely.

I’m very pleased on what I was told. I had gone to another dentist last year and nothing was resolve. So I’m glad I came to Dr. Hayatt for a second opinion. Thank you

Woman in office is amazing, too!
August 25, 2016Kelleyann S.Verified patient
The staff and doctor were incredible. Friendly, professional, helpful. Made me feel right at ease. They also work with you to help find the best way to go about treatment. The office is beautiful and clean (they even have massage chairs in their exam rooms). This is my new dental office for sure!
August 19, 2016Desiree A.Verified patient
I felt a lot of tension in the office today b/w the staff and Dr Hyatt. Dr Hyatt is usually very friendly and personable but today something was different. Luckily I know this is not how the normal experience and would still recommend Dr Hyatt in the future.

Dr Hayatt and staff are very professional, informative and personable. I had a broken filling/molar and had it taken care of the same day. This is the first time I felt comfortable at a dentist's office and I definitely will come back.

Do not waste your time or money here! From the very start, I did not get a sense that I was a valued patient, I was just another person to be rushed through. My appointment was at the end of the time, and they had requested that I arrive 15 minutes early to fill in paperwork. That was fine, so I arrived at the time they specified, and just as I walk in, the receptionist says "There you are, I just left you a voicemail". I listened to the voicemail later, and she was asking me where I was! And I was there 15 minutes early!
Then I get in and they inform me that they want to take x-rays since I am a new patient. I told them I just had a full set of x-rays done 6 months ago, and I would prefer not to do a full set, so they said okay, we'll just do bite wings. Then apparently the doctor told them he wanted a full set of x-rays, so they start doing the x-rays, and I had to ask them why they were doing the full set when I specifically asked not to have them done. The technician then informs me that the doctor insisted that I get the full set, but that they would only be charging my insurance for the bite wings. This made me a little ticked off, but fine, I gave in.
Then the actual exam happened. I have never had a cavity in my life, and so of course I was suprised when Dr. Hayatt diagnosed 4 cavities using a new sonographic machine that measures enamel thickness. I am in the medical field as well, so I am not opposed to using technology. However, there was no discussion of what the options were, he just assumed that I would agree with his diagnosis and pushed me to schedule an appointment to have the fillings done. I felt so pressured that I made the appointment, but later cancelled because I just didn't have a good feeling about it.

Extreme dentist phobia. Was informed dentures were really my only real option. I acted like a big baby, and they all kept their cool being nice not annoyed. Thank you

Perfect!
June 25, 2015Alisha H.Verified patient
Dr. Hayatt was very caring and concerned about my teeth He did whsy he could to help me as I have Denti-cal and some services were limited. We both agree Denti-cal needs to add deep cleaning to their list of treatments

The office was very clean and modern, as was the equipment and level of knowledge that the staff and doctor exuded. I received a print out with the services I would need moving forward, along with an explanation of fees. I will be returning for a teeth cleaning.
