I was looking for a Pediatric Dentist for my 4 year old daughter. Her pediatrician told me about Dr. Hempel. He told me that Dr. Hempel was very gentle with kids and that he was a really good dentist. I took my daughter to him for her first cleaning & exam and Dr. Hempel and his staff were great! They were all very gentle and made my daughter feel at ease. Even though Dr. Hempel isn't a "Pediatric Dentist", it sure felt like it for my daughter. They put Disney Channel on for her so she could watch it while they worked on her and gave her a goody bag when it was over with a light up toothbrush and other fun stuff in it. She liked going to the dentist and that makes me very thankful to Dr. Hempel and his office. Highly recommended!
