PATIENT REVIEWS

We’ve been coming here for my kids routine dental care. Dr. Adam is very approachable and the staffs are friendly and conversational. They are very good with kids and the hygienist are great at explaining what is going to happen to the kiddos. My daughter said, “This is her favorite dentist place because they let her pick out a prize!” Each child got to pick out a toothbrush and gets a travel size toothpaste and kids floss. Dr. Adam was great to answer any questions we have our struggles with teeth brushing tricks. My youngest was seen by Dr. Adam at 18 months because she wasn’t very good with letting us brush her teeth and developed an infection but we got right in to get her some antibiotics. Highly recommend Hale Family Dental. My husband has switched over to Dr. Adam after his regular dentist retired.

My experience at Hale Family Dental was top notch! Dr. Adam and his staff took the time to answer my questions and create a care plan I was comfortable with! They focused on my questions, my needs and my teeth and mouth – which is exactly what I was needing! Great to have such a tremendous resource in the neighborhood! Great experience and will definitely recommend to everyone!

We tend to shy away from the larger dental practices, especially for our children. We strongly prefer to be in the care of and support small practices. That being said, it’s always a gamble before you have that first appointment. We could not be more happy with Hale Family Dental. The waiting area was well put together and not overstimulating. A few strategic toys to entertain small ones. Dr. Adam and his staff were warm, professional, caring, with a lovely sense of ease. They clearly enjoy children at the clinic and work with them skillfully. We left with an excellent plan and the anxiety I have been feeling about my child’s teeth erased. We are excited to have found our new family dentist!

Dr. Adam undertook to take care of 8 crowns for me, but didn’t know what he was in for. I obviously have a problematic bite which resulted in not only some of the temps falling out, but then a permanent as well. Without any hesitation, Dr. Adam took care of all the problems, including the removal of a fixed permanent crown adjacent to the one that fell out, so he could get the lab to splice it to the one that fell out when temporary and then permanent. He covered the cost of both crowns, the impressions and all else that was involved in ensuring a non-problematic bite. So in essence, his follow through is professional and impeccable. His chair manner is great. Give him a try. You won’t be sorry!

I was essentially forced to find a new dentist due to a change in insurance. Never fun. I found Dr. Podratz (Hale Family Dental) by doing a neighborhood search and crossed my fingers. What a great experience. Dr. Podratz was personable and extremely helpful. I was only there for my regular cleaning and check-up, not for any issues I was experiencing. There ended up being an issue with the x-rays that were sent from my previous dentist. As in, we’re not even sure they were truly my teeth! Dr. Podratz poked around in my mouth and felt something was amiss considering the x-rays showed I had several cavities but my teeth looked good. We decided the best thing would be to just have new x-rays done (free of charge). The new x-rays proved what he was seeing which was no cavities, no issues. I’m so glad we went with his gut instead of starting to fix “phantom” cavities! Overall, this was a great first appointment and I look forward to seeing everyone again in six months!

Yay! Can’t explain enough how grateful I am for Adam and the amazing team at Hale dental. Was looking for a quick squeeze in for some tooth pain and I literally got in same day! They were so accommodating and I was able to get my cavity filled in the same appointment! Adam is great! I’ve had multiple dentists of the years and I truly think I’ve found my home. Incredibly kind, GENUINE and HONEST about what the best options are for you! Having this experience makes me realize how subpar any other offices I’ve been to has truly been. (Not meaning time poke but it’s the truth – you don’t know how blah your previous experiences are until you have an AMAZING one) I love out of state and truly think I’ll make it back twice a year for visits of course but also for my bi annual dentist appointment! Thank you guys so darn much!

I typically have anxiety surrounding dentist appointments, but not since becoming a patient at Hale Family Dental two years ago. The staff is kind and attentive to how I’m feeling, I’m able to receive nitrous for a pain-free experience, and I’ve been very pleased with the quality and thoroughness of the care. My son, who is 5, also loves going to see Dr. Adam!

My dentist retired and he dumped his patients off on another area dentist. I was not happy with him. I tried two more and still didn’t especially like what I was seeing/hearing. Then one summer day, I’m at the Diamond Lake Community summer event and I run into this guy with his two kids who has a dental practice in the neighborhood. I began telling him about my issues and he began giving me options without even looking in my mouth. Everybody else was trying to force me down one path or another. So I decided to give him a try. It’s the best decision I’ve made on dentists in my life. I now have my mother and friends going there as well. I hope Adam is still practicing when I die because I don’t want to have to go looking again. And BTW, Courtney, the woman at the desk is great (as are Rhonda and Jamie -the cleaners and Jen his assistant), if you’re new to a dental practice, you better expect you’re going to need to spend some time filling out forms, I’ve been there a few times.

LOVE this dental office and doctor! My situation with coming to Dr. Podratz (or Adam, as he’d intro’d himself) could’ve been awkward and uncomfy. After all, my first visit was for a second opinion on another dentist’s recommended treatment plan for myself and hubby. (Y’all can see my review on here of the other doc if you want the details). I shouldn’t have worried. From the initial phone call to the full exam by Adam, everyone put me at ease. All my questions were explained in detail and all my concerns were put to rest. Adam even did the cleaning himself! (He’s very thorough and gentle.) The biggest difference with this office: they care about patients and their dental health! They’re not going to try to ‘sell’ unnecessary treatments or push patients into doing anything that isn’t clinically warranted. I have full confidence and trust in Adam and his staff to do right by my teeth. That’s a huge relief. The front office — sorry, I suck that I didn’t get a name! — was so helpful too. She emailed me the forms I’d need to release my x-rays from the other doc in plenty of time to have them available for Adam to review AND she even dug into my insurance to reassure that this new exam should be covered. Although, I would gladly pay out of pocket to be seen by this office! Oh — and get this — If the exam wasn’t covered due to insurance limitations, Adam was willing to try to get them to cover a ‘limited exam’ at a lesser charge. That, folks, is a doc who’s not out to make a buck, but to make a patient for a lifetime. And he’s got one in my hubby and me. Highly recommend!!!
