Dr. Hom inherited me from Dr. John Schmidt who retired. Dr. Schmidt had been my dentist for more than 20 years. It took me a while to trust a new dentist. I have now been Dr. Hom's patient for several years and I find her to be just as competent as Dr. Schmidt and perhaps even a bit more gentle. I have complete confidence in Dr. Hom. She is competent, efficient, caring and a nice person as well.
