Highly recommended, everyone of the staff at Hunsaker Dental are kind, professional and strive to make every experience at their facility the best. My advice to people who struggle with dental work and don't like seeing a dentist, go see Hunsaker Dental.
The office staff at the end of your visit do not seem friendly or approachable.One lady gives you dirty looks. During a call from the staff I was confused on the insurance and was asking questions. The lady on the other side of the phone hung up on me while I was saying have a good day. Overall customer service is poor but my hygienist was awesome and the only reason why I will continue to go to my appointments.
I had been in so much pain for about 3 weeks! I went to 2 other dentists before I came here. They made it seem like it was no big deal. I just needed a root canal or could pull my tooth, I couldn't be seen with my insurance for either of those procedures in a timely manner and they made it seem like it wasn't urgent. By the time I called Hunsaker Dental I had infection spreading across my face, down my neck, my ear and head just felt horrid. They got me in right away did new x-rays, which showed how bad it had spread. I expected them to then schedule the procedure in the future. Someone sat down with me and asked me budget questions so we can chose the right procedure and asked if I had time, liked the dentist I had, felt comfortable with them, and if I wanted to do it now! I felt heard and empathy! I hope all my future experiences are this good with them since I'm switching my family over.
a truly wonderful experience! the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. Beka assisted me numerous times throughout my visit with such poise and excellence. Dr. Patel assisted me throughout my assessment and new patient plan. he explained everything in such detail! i am very satisfied with the care I received and look forward to having future visits with Dr. Patel.
I have really appreciated the care that Hunsaker Has given me over the last few years. The entire staff has been wonderful. And when I had to have extensive work done on my teeth… Which nobody Enjoys… I thought “wow“ that wasn’t bad at all. I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rabago was the bed. Thank you, Hunsaker.
