Dr. Hodgins and his staff are amazing. I used to be ashamed of my smile and would rarely speak in public. Now I can’t stop smiling and my self-confidence in public situations has been restored. The world class care and attention to detail can’t be matched. My visit to the Dentist’s Studio not only gave me an incredible smile, it changed my life.

I’ve been going to the Dentist Studio for over 10 years now & plan on staying. I’m always impressed with the staff’s expertise & always up to date with the latest & greatest. I always feel welcome & the crew goes out of their way to make sure I’m comfortable, which means a lot to me, especially having anxiety. I couldn’t ask for a better Dental office.

Amazing! Doctor and all staff are professional, courteous, attentive, and go above and beyond. Hadn’t been to the dentist in over a decade and was extremely nervous. Ended up needing a root canal, crown, and several deep cleanings. Worth every penny! Referred me to a endodontist, explaining that he could easily do it himself, but it would be better, cheaper, faster, and more comfortable for me to have a specialist complete the root canal before returning to him to have the crown completed. Can’t express enough how comfortable they made me throughout every procedure.

This was my first visit to Dr. Hodgins, it has been roughly 15 years since I’ve seen a dentist. When I entered the office the first thing I noticed was that I was the only one in the waiting room, to me that’s a sign of a good doctor who doesn’t “overbook” his or her appointments. I was greeted by Karen who is one of the dental assistants, she was with me through the whole appointment. Having not been to a dentist in so long I had a lot of questions, and Karen answered all of them. Karen is very professional, yet human, and had compassion for the 50 year old dental phobic (me) patient sitting in the exam chair. She explained everything she was going to do before she did it, which allowed for no surprises. When she was done with her exam, she introduced me to Dr. Hodgins, after getting acquainted he began his exam and after explained in full detail the course of treatment he feels is necessary for me. Do to my fear, I am going to have the procedure done under IV sedation and I feel assured that everything will go smoothly. The final process was Karen showing me an itemized print out of everything that was going to be done, what insurance would pay for and what my expense would be. She gave me time to read everything and ask any questions regarding the print out and then any final questions regarding the practice, staff qualifications, or fears that I may have.

Truly a enjoyable experience. Scheduling an appointment was easy and having the text message option to communicate with the office was quick, efficient, and effortless. I had Rachel as my dental hygienist along with Heather an intern and I cannot stress how professional and courteous they were. Rachel went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable! Doctor Hodgins explaining what was going on and our plan to move forward was informative and well planned. I can’t do more than five stars but if I could I would. Don’t look any further if you’re looking for a new dentist!

New Patient and new to Orlando… so glad I went here!  Dr. Hodgins was great and Oscar made my teeth super clean 🙂  The office was neat and modern with state of the art technology, and the staff was great.  I’m actually looking forward to my next visit… and I received a promotional discount for mentioning I heard about them through Yelp…  Awesome!

OK, so I’m from the UK…..About 20 years ago I was treated sooo badly, it gave me a fear for dentists. Yes, I clean my teeth every day, but I have to say I avoided the dentist like the plague! That was until I discovered The Dentist’s Studio in Winter Park. My own business is in Winter Park & I drove by it every day. The sign was shouting…Dr Zach Hodgins- Dentist’s Studio…COME SEE ME!! Every day for about two years I drove by that sign. THEN, I discovered that dr Hodgins performed sedation dentistry, I thought ‘Great – get put to sleep, clean my teeth – wake up – done!..I did finally get the courage to visit & I am so glad I did!..AND it was even better than I thought. Firstly, GONE was the sterile look & smell of dentists in the UK…but a friendly, welcoming team & an office that felt more like your home…so, I had the sedation JUST for my teeth cleaning!! haha!..I felt like I had a cocktail or two and was sat in the chair getting my teeth cleaned..it was great! I just want to say THANK YOU to Dr Z & his team for putting my faith back in dentists, something I would never do in my lifetime! I even encourage my friends & family in the UK to visit the dentist with Dr Zach Hodgins when they visit me here in Florida….!! Keep up the good work & I appreciate your patience with me!! Thank You.

Very professional and comprehensive dental office team. Our family has been searching for the right in network dentist for a few years after our dentist for decades retired. Dr Zach and team are super friendly and take care of you like family. My husband, daughter and myself each have been pleased with excellent dental care at the Dentist’s Studio.

The dentists studio is top notch dentistry! Dr Hodgins is very comforting and informative with any questions or concerns .Dawn his right hand is amazing and is my favorite . heather has cleaned my teeth twice now and she’s the best and so sweet! I was scared of the dentist and neglected my teeth for over 30 years and now after some extensive work done this year each visit is easier and the staff makes you feel like your there family. Highly recommend the dentists studio to anyone especially if you have a fear of the dentist dr Hodgins can make it a comfortable experience !!!

I have disliked going to the dentist for as long as I could remember. That is until I started seeing Dr. Hodgins at the Dentist’s Studio. I always thought that a visit was supposed to be uncomfortable, a little (or sometimes a lot) painful and just one of those necessary evils in life. I have since learned that there is such a thing as a pain free root canal…who would have believed it! Not only is Dr. Hodgins a fantastic dentist (hands down the best I have ever been to) but his staff is wonderful. They are friendly, professional, and explain everything to you in a way that you can actually understand. (Dawn, you are awesome!!! Thank you for everything.) From the moment you walk in the front door up to when you leave at the end of your appointment, you are made to feel that you are important to them as more than just another client. I have, and will continue to, recommend The Dentist’s Studio to anyone who is willing to listen. Thanks to all of you for your outstanding service!

I have been trepidacious about visiting the dentist since I was very young.  As a devout patient of 4 years, Dr. Hodgins and his accomodating staff have incinerated any fears or concerns I have about my visits.  I feel very comfortable upon my arrival and I am always impressed about the true level of care and concern as to MY well being AND the staffs’ professionalism. They make it very evident that they care for you and your oral hygiene as an individual. I would suggest to anyone who has any hesitation about the dentist AND to those who have none at all, visit The Dentists Studio in Winter Park.  Experience what, i believe, Dental care should be.

The people here are wonderful. I had high blood pressure issues and they went how of there way to be sure I was safe and had the patience until my blood pressure was acceptable. I would definitely recommend The Dentist Studio. Awesome place and more than anything awesome people that care about you and your well being.

Let me paint a picture for you. My head is resting on a warm pillow, SportsCenter is on television, I’m reclined and at ease. Sounds like I would be in the comfort of my own home, right? That was the scene as a received a filling recently. I mean, I could have slept through this procedure. The doctor spends time with you, the staff is kind, and you can tell they go out of their way to provide superior service. I especially like that, every so often, Dr. Hodgins does a day of free dental work for those who are unable to afford basic procedures. You can make your appointment here without hesitation, I drive 40 minutes to see this dentist. 5 stars.

★★★★★

I have been going to see Dr. Hodgins at the dentist studio for at least 8 years. His office is very modern and doesn’t have the normal dentist smell and feel. To help make you more comfortable they have neck pillows (which can be scented), noise cancelling headphone, tv’s at each station, etc. Dawn is, like, 2nd in command there and she is awesome. I lo-lo-love her! I’m glad whenever I get her! She and Karen have both been there forever and are both wonderful! The front desk help was great years ago (Erika, the doctors sister or sister-in-law) and then it took a dive for a while. There were a few teenieboppers who were very rude and talked badly about patients (funnily enough the patient they were bad mouthing was my mother and they had no idea until I put them back in their place). The past few times there have been two other young ladies who were both very nice and helpful. I’ve referred my entire family and several friends to Dr. H and all have been very happy.

Marqus J. from Maitland, FL (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

By far the best dental experience that I’ve ever had in my life, the staff was courteous and kind and so is the doctor. The X-ray tech made fell at ease while offering me music or tv as she completed her examination. The hygienist was very thorough and explain every step as she conducted her cleaning and examination. If you are afraid of the dentist, I highly recommended  The Dentist Studio they will change any negetive views you may have. It doesn’t get much better than this!!!

Yes, I just have to keep updating about the fact Dr. Hodgins is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Another root canal and crown for me again yesterday without a hitch. I had to have an injection in my upper palate (those are the worst and most painful, people, believe me) and I informed him before he did it that for the next minute or so he would be my least favorite person in the world. LOL So I grabbed the arms of the chair and tensed my body for the pain I knew was coming… but wait… that was it… no mind blowing pain… you finished that fast and I barely felt a thing?!! WOW! Sitting there stunned, all I could mumble out was, “You really are good!” And he is!! A pain free upper palate injection… I bow down to you Dr. Hodgins! Dawn, my assistant for the day (again), was awesome as usual! Always making me feel completely comfortable and relaxed. The entire staff also did an excellent job with my husband. Before my dental procedure got underway, Dr. Hodgins extracted a tooth for him. What was to be a simple extraction turned into a surgical extraction because my husband has the jaws of a boxer. He tells me Dr. Hodgins was wonderful throughout the entire process… constantly asking him if he was ok and making sure he was as comfortable as possible. After my husband’s extraction, he came to sit in the room with me while I had my procedure and this is where I cannot give enough thanks to the entire staff. As my procedure went on, my husband began getting sick. It had nothing to do with his extraction, he was coming down with something because when I finally got him home his temp was 102. Dawn looked over at him while they were working on me and noticed he was shaking and white as a ghost. They stopped work on me and got him into another room in a chair where he could lie down. Dr. Hodgins began monitoring his vitals while the rest of the staff grabbed blankets and anything else they could to make him comfortable. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for taking such good care of him and going above and beyond to meet his needs until my procedure was finished. When we were ready to leave, as usual, Dr. Hodgins make sure I had his personal cell number and told me to call if I needed anything at all. I also received a phone call from Dr. Hodgins today to check on both hubby and me. He again told me not to hesitate to call him on his cell if either of us needed anything!

The Dentist studio is a delight. I’m happy my search for a dentist ended with Dr. Hodgins and his staff. I have been going to the dentist studio for 2 years now. They sincerely care about your needs and comfort. They are direct and transparent with you. I am such a scarycat when it comes to seeing a dentist’s overall and I cannot express enough how this office puts me at ease. Thank you!

Okay, I don’t think I have met more than three people who enjoy going to the dentist. Everyone usually hates it and sees it as a chore. I actually have anxiety about the dentist so when I knew I was searching for a new one and read the Yelp reviews on here I was actually looking forward to trying them out. Now of course it took an emergency to get me to go in but I could not have had a more pleasant experience. I called Monday morning 15 before they opened and someone answered! I had broken a tooth the night before and fought the pain all night. Not only did I not have an appointment that day but I was also a new patient… They didn’t care, they made themselves available! I was in there by 10:30am! Now, when you fill out paperwork here, the dentist actually reads it, woohoo!!! The dentist also sits in the main office w his staff, I thought that was special. You can hear him answer phones and questions! Very hands on. The X-rays were complimentary because I mentioned yelp! Don’t forget to do that. There are 3 types of X-rays here and they are top notch. First, every employee is so nice! They really go above and beyond to welcome you, inform you and be available. The office is extremely warm, clean and high tech. For the x-rays, you can view them on the TV while you are in the chair and they will walk you through them. When the dentist comes in he actually takes time to talk with you and understand your history and what your needs are for your visit. While he walks through your X-rays and gum notes, he chats w you about it so you are not in the dark. Also, with the crazy news coming out and dentists scamming you for every penny… At the Dentist Studio, they only do what you need to do. I was told I needed my entire right side of fillings redone two years ago from my previous dentist and here I was told it was just one certain one. We went ahead and fixed it and what do you know, all better! On my first trip I also got a temporary cap and my gum operated on. They were super aware of my stress and made every effort to make me comfortable. They even offer warm neck pillows… Hello! I was in the chair for almost 4 hours and I was extremely comfy. They paid attention to my safety and comfort the entire time. I also had a cavity removed and replaced as well as a chip in my front tooth fixed and both front teeth filed down to match each other. The dentist also gives out him cell when you have a large procedure and calls to follow up the day after. They also call your prescriptions in while you are there so you just have to go pick it up. There was a slight issue with them calling the wrong place but it was taken care of via my pharmacy calling the dentist. Overall it was actually a pleasant experience and I look forward to going back to Dr Hodges!

Yesterday was my first appointment at Dr. Hodgins’ office. Rachel was my hygienist and she was very personable and fun to talk to, and she made me feel very comfortable during my entire visit. Dr. Hodgins was a pleasure to speak with and was honest but very kind regarding the work my teeth will require and I didn’t feel shamed at all for requesting sedation. I originally was referred here only because I will need to be sedated for a procedure, which my usual dental office doesn’t do, but I think I will be switching offices completely. The atmosphere and service was great and even though my tooth situation wasn’t good news this was overall an excellent experience.

Can I just say this Dental office is beyond words Amazing! I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I never leave reviews for any medical offices, I usually leave and never come back if i didn’t like it but this time I have to.   First starting from the front desk, the lady was very courteous and professional over the phone. When i got there I met with my dental assistant Lisa, she was incredible, very personable and sweet,  she helped me go through the process of getting  xrays and trying to help me as much as she could during the process of me getting the crowns that I needed, she offered to put music on or the tv on while I waited, she was very supportive and understanding. Dawn the other dental Assistant was so amazing as well , she worked so hard to get the perfect job done and I can’t thank her enough for staying past business hours for me, she has done an exceptional job together with the Doctor I love the work they did on me! Dawn was on top making sure I was okay the whole time also Lisa Dawn and the Dr were making sure I was doing well.  None of them complaint they were staying late,  they were very glad they could help me. I appreciate everything they did for me. I have to give my Doctor a definite 10 stars for being so supportive, helpful and patient with me, he was so gentle while giving me the local shot, I couldn’t believe i was already numbed.  He is very good at what he does. You can tell its his passion. Everyone in this office did an exceptional job, I will be back soon to get my regular check up. I just want to say thank you again for your hard work and being so amazing human beings. THANK YOU

I’ve been going to Dr. Z for years. As a child I had horror stories about dentists. I hate dentist. I love this place and Dr. Hodgins. Sedation dentistry is the bomb. Over the years of so many good experiences, oh my gosh have I had to have every tooth in my mouth worked on, I so trust Zach I no longer need to be sedated for the more minor things. I’ve had e dry thing from cleanings to cavities filled to crowns to teeth whitening. I’m about to start taking my daughter there when her braces come off in a few months. I promise you the entire staff is awesome, Dr. Hodgins goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and keep you informed. I’ve never written a review before, was just browsing his website which is so informative to keeping your mouth healthy and decided to give some encouragement to everyone out there that hates the dentist. Zach will be your all time favorite and like I said the whole team is amazing!!

So, just like most everyone, I am not a fan of the dentist but it was time I went and Colleen B. recommended me to the Dentist Studio. Guys, this place is great. The staff is amazing – they are so friendly and make you feel at home. They pay great attention to you and make sure that you feel completely comfortable. They have music or TVs in every room and you can put on whatever you want. I’ve had a few cleanings, some fillings, and a crown done here and it’s all gone really smooth. Every single time, I am encouraged to ask questions and offered a warm neck pillow. Dr. Hodgins is such a nice guy! He is very knowledgeable, calm, and friendly. Dawn and the hygienist, Whitney, are my favorites here — you can definitely tell they love their jobs and love working for Dr. Hodgins. While I will probably never like going to the dentist, I am so happy I have found a place to go where I am comfortable and know I will be taken care of 100%.

I’ve been going to the dentist studio awhile now and every single time it feels like I meeting up with friends / family. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful is a pleasure. They all bend over backwards to ensure that you are comfortable and not in any pain. Dawn and Dr. Hodgins are absolutely amazing. Previously I’ve had some bad experiences with dentists – I am happy to drive 15+ miles to visit.

I’ve been a patient for six years, this is a fantastic office everyone is always so nice. I love coming here. I had a hygienist when I first came here that I absolutely adored and when she left I was sad. However her replacement is just as wonderful and I’m very happy! I would recommend this office to anyone looking for a great experience at the dentist

My fear of the Dentist office is now over. My teeth were in desperate need of work but I kept procrastinating because I hated going to the dentist. I was watching one of those medical information shows when I saw Dr Hodgins on it. I was impressed with his interview and he seemed like such a nice guy. I also happened to be going to Orlando and decided to make an appointment for a consultation. After consulting with Dr Hodgins I felt very comfortable that he would take care of me. I have now been seeing Dr. for a couple of years. I fly down from Milwaukee, WI for my appointments. I look forward to my visits with Dr. Hodgins and his awesome staff. And the great thing is that I’m no longer afraid of the dentist!

I can not say enough about Dr. Hodgins and his staff at the Dentist’s Studio. When I visited Dr. Hodgins I was terrified. I had just found out that I was pregnant with my first child and my tooth was infected causing me severe pain. Dr. Hodgins and his staff’s compassion and professionalism eased my frazzled nerves. They patiently answered all my questions and assured me everyhting would be fine. I ended up needing a root canal, my first. Even though I could only receive novicane for pain relief during the procedure, because of my pregnany, I can honestly say it was less painful then having a cavity filled. Dr. Hodgins and his staff took such good care of me. I will always be thankful to them for helping me through a very emotional time. I highly recommend the Dentist ‘s Studio to all.

I first went to (The Dentist Studio) Dr. Hodgins last year for exams and a cleaning. I was impressed with the level of professionalism throughout the entire practice; the support staff, the hygienists and Dr. Hodgins. I am used to waiting for 20-30 minutes after my schedule appointment but happy they called me in right on time. This dentist office is completely patient focused making your visit as pleasant as possible. Each procedure they tell you what they are going to do, why they are doing it and ask you if you have any questions. It gave me a level of comfort the whole way through. My previous Dentist removed a tooth (real bummer but it happy that is was in the back). He wanted to implant a new tooth and I was a little apprehensive about doing it. So, I didn’t. I changed to Dr Hodgins and after my first visit with him I was relieved to hear that I made the right decision not to get the implant. He explained that I have a nerve so close to where the implant would have been. If they hit that nerve, it could have changed my smile permanently or I would have possibly had no smile at all. The previous Dentist didn’t even mention anything of that sort. On my first visit with Dr. Hodgins, he told me more than my previous Dentist did and I was his patient for 5 years. The Dentist Studio’s office is beautiful. Its lighting in the waiting area is calming. Each room has a TV while you may be waiting in between procedures or during your procedure. I live in Tampa and drive to see Dr. Hodgins in Orlando if that tells you anything. Go see Dr. Hodgins!

The Dentist’s Studio takes dental care, typically an unpleasant necessity in life, and makes it thoroughly not bad by treating its patients with dignity. I just visited The Dentist’s Studio for the first time after decades with my previous dentist. The Dentist’s Studio got really good reviews on Yelp, but that was not what made me pick them, as dentists are notoriously called out by Yelp HQ itself for getting bogus reviews from their own IP addresses. I picked this practice because they got good reviews from real Yelp Elites whom I trusted. Also, they’re located really close to where I work, offer good hours, and take my insurance. That helps, too. Some background: I had visited the same dentist practice since I was a kid. Over the past several years, the hygienist I kept getting scheduled with left me curled-up-in-a-fetal-position-and-talking-about-clowns traumatized. About six months ago, my previous hygienist performed a cleaning that I later described as “being waterboarded while chewing broken glass to the sound of a dolphin slaughter.” There was much pain. There was much bloodshed. There was no dignity. I had never had a cavity in my life, and I thoroughly dreaded going back to a dentist ever again. Enter sifting through Yelp reviews, and enter The Dentist’s Studio. My hygienist for this first, tentative encounter was Whitney, and my dentist was Dr. Hodgins. My new patient appointment and cleaning was two full hours long. That wasn’t two hours of filling out paperwork or two hours of leaving me in a room while they talked about weekend plans. That was being seen immediately for two real, thorough hours of full x-rays using new up-to-date digital equipment and doing a careful, pain-free cleaning and exam. It was two hours well spent, with two hours of great patient care. (Note: Just a cleaning for an established patient evidently takes about an hour.) I’m going to skip the heated neck pillow, drink of water, and cable TV while they work on you type of niceties that are well-covered in other reviews. Seeing those things prominently mentioned in other reviews actually had me worried that it would have a creepy, spa-type vibe where they would suddenly try to upsell me on elective services so that I, too, could look like a Kardashian. (Note: They didn’t… Just writing honestly here about where even good points mentioned in other reviews had me a bit skeptical. Remember, I was traumatized.) They didn’t try to upsell me, and the practice really was just as nice as described in other reviews. It wasn’t creepy. It still felt like a dentist’s office, just a dentist’s office where there wasn’t angst in the air. Here’s what impressed me: – The front desk was well-organized, and made checking in and filling out the new patient paperwork a snap. My insurance was already pre-authorized. – Whitney (the hygienist) was considerate. – She explained what she was doing before she did it so there were no surprises. – She told me how to give her a hand-signal to stop if I were uncomfortable before she put hardware and vacuum tubes in my face. – She explained what she was doing as she was doing it, and she explained what was in or out of range when she was doing measurements on my teeth and gums. This built trust that she knew what she was doing. – She gave me protective, tinted glasses. They were ugly glasses. Really ugly. Probably the ugliest sunglasses I have ever put on my face outside a flea-market ugly. But it’s the first time I’ve had a hygienist not just have me stare directly into a halogen light and wonder who Pelton and Crane were for the entire appointment. What an awesome, considerate detail to improve patient care and safety. – She was not over-zealous with the sonic power tools (aka Weapons of Plaque Destruction). – She asked questions, but never once when she had her hands in my mouth and a hose down my throat. Because everyone knows that you can’t answer when you have hands, tools, and a hose in your throat. Everyone. So stop doing it, other hygienists. – There was only mild discomfort at the worst point, and zero blood on the blue bib when she was done. None. Not a drop. That has never, ever happened to me at a dentist’s office. I typically leave the dentist looking like the person you see in the first five minutes of any episode of CSI from minute six onward. – Most importantly, she did a good and thorough job with the cleaning. They’re so clean, I’d eat off of my teeth now. By the time I saw Dr. Hodgins, I was the last patient on a Friday, but I did not feel rushed. He was personable, but also thorough and professional. I’ve already made my follow-up appointment, and I don’t dread it. Also, did I mention that they have ESPN on the TV?…

Everyone on the staff is wonderful. I was very nervous but immediately felt comfortable from the pleasant and comforting attitude of the staff. I was treated with great service and respect. All aspects of the procedures/exams were explained to me and also the follow up care. Nothing ever felt rushed. If asked, I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone.

I absolutely love going to the Dentist because of The Dentist Studio and Dr. Hodgins and Rachel, who is my dental hygienist. Rachel is amazing, best hygienist hands down and you can tell she loves what she does. Everyone is always so friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the Orlando/Winter park area. I come all the way from Clermont.

After having the same dentist for the last 8 years, I was hesitant to search for a new one due to employment location.  I had my first appointment this morning, nervous despite having “just” a cleaning and x rays.  I was welcomed with open arms by the receptionist, in fact the entire team was extremely friendly, which doesn’t typically happen when walking into an appointment.  My assistant Dawn was phenomenal, we discussed my concerns and she was gentle and low key.  The doctor is super friendly and didn’t make a big deal about the problems I want to fix.  The hygienist did a cleaning and was very careful.  The room has a tv, radio, warm neck pillows and water are given to ease your nerves.  I loved the office so much, I’m already signed up to follow the personalized treatment plan.  I highly suggest checking this fantastic group out, especially for one that fears the dentist, like myself.

Alexandra P. from Knoxville, TN (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’m one of those people who are afraid of the dentist. I go every 6 months because I know it’s important. But I go kicking and screaming. I have sensitive teeth and a bad gag reflex. So, X-rays are a nightmare and that high pressure electric water thing should be classified as a torture device! Anyway, I found this office thanks to Yelp and really liked that they specialize in crazy people like me! Well, it exceeded my expectations! The staff were amazing! They made me feel at ease and were very patient! This has been, by far, the best experience I have ever had. I didn’t even need the nitrous, which I had originally requested. The office itself is clean and I love that they give you a tour. They have neck pillows and TVs in the rooms which were a nice touch. Also, they have Saturday hours which is really convenient. Highly recommend!

The Dentist’s Studio is the best dentist’s office I’ve ever been to. I live in Windermere and think it is absolutely worth the 45 min drive each way. Whitney is a wonderful hygienist and makes going to the dentist so much more comfortable – plus the office has put me with her every time I’ve gone in, which is nice to have the consistency. Dr. Hodgins is amazing and genuinely cares about his patients – I’ve had dentists in the past recommend pricey procedures, but Dr. Hodgins is always honest about what is medically necessary vs what is “nice to have” vs what isn’t needed. Cannot say enough good things about the staff or my experiences over the last 2 years (and counting)!

Dr. Hodgins and his staff are awesome! The Dentist Studio provides prompt, professional comprehensive dental care, and they treat their patients with compassion and consideration. Regular cleanings are thorough and relatively painless, and when I have had need for emergency care, Dr. Hodgins and his staff have been extremely accommodating. I highly recommend the Dentist Studio and Dr. Hodgins!

I was referred to Dr. Hodgins by a close friend and her recommendation did not disappoint. The staff is friendly, the office is clean, my dental hygienist Melissa, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Dr. Hodgins is personable and explained my treatment plan in a very basic and elementary fashion, which was helpful for me to understand. The only reason I am not giving it the full 5 stars is because of time spent troubleshooting the technology, and how long my appointment took overall. I had a 3pm appt for a yearly exam/cleaning, and I was done by 540pm. I’ve never had a dental appointment take so long. Some of the delay was due to the technology. My hygienist needed assistance in working the first Xray, a large panoramic xray machine (that my insurance didn’t cover, but apparently was medically necessary), and the camera to take pictures inside my mouth stopped working, which led her to have to unplug and replug, restart the camera. It was a bit frustrating for us both, for different reason. Overall, I had a great experience at the dentist (who even says that???) and will be returning to finish my treatment plan. Tip: Block off a few hours! I had to be somewhere at 6pm and did not expect to still be treated at 530pm.
