Leander Smiles

I've had a few bad experiences with dental offices. The last office, after thousands of dollars spent, I still ended up with the very problem that I originally went in for. This time I am very happy to say that I left my appointment today knowing that not only, did I not get screwed over financially but I got the great skills and expertise that I was looking for and expected. I think after dealing with unprofessional dental offices that were just looking out for their own financial interests, I found a place where the professionals actually care about their clientele. Though I never look forward to going to the dentist, it certainly makes the experience a LOT more palatable when your greeted with kind people that actually do care.

Dr. Hogge is amazing. He coordinates a care plan that works for you and takes your input seriously. Our whole family (6) sees him for our dental care. Would recommend without hesitation. He has an awesome staff as well.

I’ve been coming here for about six years, and I drive 45 minutes because the care is worth it. The male hygienist is the best ! he’s thorough, professional, and always makes the experience comfortable. The doctor is great too and has always been easy to talk to. Unfortunately, the front desk experience has become the complete opposite. The heavier-set woman at the front desk seems to maybe outgrown her position? She’s definitely not happy to come to work everyday and it shows. She always seems like she’s unhappy to be there. When I walked in, she was on the phone rolling her eyes while talking to another patient, which wasn’t a great impression. Every interaction I’ve had with her has felt unnecessarily aggressive, even though I always speak respectfully and calmly. The moment that really bothered me was when I said I couldn’t afford the $300 bill that day. Instead of showing any understanding, I genuinely felt like I was being mocked. When I decided to go through with the payment she said “oh but you can’t afford it right?” At that moment I questioned whether her job was to question how much money I have or schedule the appointment? I was also in shock she said it in front of the doctor. It’s disappointing because the doctor and hygienist are the reason I’ve stayed loyal to this office for years. But the person at the front desk can completely change the experience, and she’s honestly the only reason I’ve started questioning whether I should keep making the drive. First impressions matter, and I hope management addresses it because the clinical staff deserve better representation.

I have been a patient at Dr Hogge Leander Smiles office since 2015. Each visit has been a positive experience, and they consistently provide excellent care. The office is always friendly and professional. Thank you for always giving great service!!!

I have been going to Leander Smiles since I moved here 11 years ago. Dr Hogge recently finished a major transition on 5 of my front teeth. This requires extensive specialized knowledge and clinical expertise. It’s a significant functional and cosmetic change because it’s a major lifestyle adjustment. My end result is 100% perfection! Dr Hogge is an amazingly brilliant dentist! I couldn’t be happier! I have the perfect smile! Also, I need to thank the wonderful Mr. Loren, my hygienist! And of course the ‘hub’ of the office, Danielle at the front desk, always smiling, courteous, friendly and helpful! If there’s a brilliant dentist with a wonderful team, what more can be asked for! As you can tell I highly 100% recommend! Also forgot to mention that they’ll fit in with your schedule and you’re never waiting more than a few minutes. You’ll Love Leander Smiles!
