Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Dentist. Excellent Man. Excellent Person. Dr. Hovan himself is easily a 5/5 dentist. I would even consider him my friend. I would not recommend Dr. Hovan to my family & friends. It’s not his fault… Basically, his office dropped me after 35 years of true loyalty simply over “new to me” policy (I was 1 month and 1 day inactive I found out). Reception explained it wasn’t Doctor Hovan’s policy but that of the business administrator. Blah blah blah, I guess it makes sense. It was upsetting. It was not the end of the world. But, what really irritated me was simply the fact I was not spoken to with any amount of decency or compassion when I pleasantly asked for a referral elsewhere (stereotypical “Karen” they have on phones these days). Everyone had always been so nice & friendly over the years it truly took me off guard. Again, Dr. Hovan is a super person AND my teeth are nice. So, thanks for the 35 great years or making my chiclets chomp. Best wishes!

Dr. Hovan is the best dentist I have ever seen. He is very thorough and exceptionally gentle. When receiving Novocaine I never had it done so precisely and gently. The entire office atmosphere is very welcoming.
