Dr. Hovick was professional, friendly, answered all my questions and explained my periodontal procedure with detailed information. My procedure went perfectly and I am very pleased with his work. The staff is also professional, friendly and will answer questions quickly. I will be returning there for any additional periodontal work that needs to be done. Highly recommend with no reservations.

I was referred here for the low cost in comparison to other periodontists. You get what you pay for. Part of my surgery was botched, was redone for free and botched again, this time with an immediate infection. Both times were traumatizing enough to give me a new fear of dental work that I have never had before this experience. I was told that if I'm unhappy with it to find another periodontist. I still had to pay for all of it (which I was misled about the cost/insurance coverage from the start) and ended up having to have the surgery a third time through someone else. It has been 10 months of

Very wonderful people here they make you feel at home and so welcomed here. They answered all my questions, I've never felt pressured at all. Great experience so far, I had to have a deep cleaning done not a plesent procedure but was taught so much on what I'm doing right and wrong. Also need have a 2 tooth graft done in Oct 21st. Thank you

I have no idea why Dr. Hovick has no reviews. I guess he's the unsung hero, the little-known rock star. I had to undergo a gum graft a month ago and was not looking forward to the prospect. I've never had anything "major" done since I was 20 when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. But this guy, despite the unpleasantness of what needed to be done, was a straight arrow of precision. He could probably do this procedure in his sleep. Calm, direct, efficient. I expressed my specific concern surrounding the procedure and he adjusted based on that. Also, people told me this would be really painful afterward
