Dr. Hauser is a good dentist/surgeon and a kind man. His staff (with the notable exception of the receptionist who was grumpy and brusque) is very nice, considerate, etc. I was very worried about my procedure but it went smoothly and I had very little pain and no complications. Dr. Hauser seems to really enjoy his work and be excited about helping people. Everyone I have talked to who knows him highly recommends him. I think you pay a little more but I would not hesitate to go to him again -- it is worth it.
