Fabulous, competent, inspires confidence. Nice too. Listens, understands. How many people really LOVE their dentist?

Dr. Hauschka has done several fillings (including a few requiring special inserts in my molars) and generally taken care of my teeth for years. I would guess that I have seen her over 10 times. She no charged me for a few minor items of work, such as removing a discoloration or correcting the surface of a new filling (it's a small thing but it can get very painful!). I did think, based on a conversation with a co-worker at the time whose wife is a dental hygienist, that I was charged a good amount above suburbia average for the more serious work I had done. She is very experienced and knew all about my teeth's propensity without my need for a lengthy explanation. She made me feel very comfortable. My family is full of teeth and gum issues, including congenital tooth root issues, so I have always gone to good dentists. She was like them, only much NICER. She's not effusive or cuddly, but she is professional and pleasant. I have referred my hubby to her, and she also saw my mother on an emergency basis during a visit, and both were very pleased.
I am writing this review to review other dentists, as Dr. H no longer accepts insurance, and after a disappointing conversation with my insurance carrier I need to change dentis
About Hygienist: My usual hygienist, Kathleen, is very good, but not the la-di-da cheery type (if that's what you need). Her cleanings are thorough and effective, but do not traumatize my mouth. I did have a cleaning with another hygenist at Dr. H's office who, whoever, made by gums hypersensitive for days. I must have repressed her name. Also, the X-ray machine has caused me some pain and serious & unpleasant gagging. I have to wonder if there's not a way to avoid going through that...
I know this doctor: about 5-6 years

Of the many dentists I have had in the past 60+ years, she is by far the best. She is knowledgeable, surehanded, and has a delightful and friendly personality. Decisive , efficient., and quick. I've yet to find a painless dentist, but she is alert to pain, treats it , and gets on with the job. It's always a delight to see her.
Her assistant is most friendly, reassuring and capable. They're a great team.

I've seen Dr. Hauschka for over 6 years. She very pleasant, responsive to my needs, aware of my medical/dental issues and always on top of things. She has been great about getting me in on short notice for things like a filling falling out. She makes me comfortable with appropriate novacaine, applying local anesthesia even before she uses the needle to give me the novacaine. Her assistant and the hygenist are also very good, and the office staff are always very helpful. She is not low priced, but she and the office staff do whatever they can to help me use the insurance I have and get the most out of it.
