After the departure of my dentist a few months ago, I needed a new dentist. I received a…read morerecommendation to try Dr. Chet Hymas. I'm sooo glad I did. I was experiencing a little bit of tooth sensitivity, so I hoped I would be able to get an appointment soon. I was thrilled when I called and was able to schedule an appointment within only a few days.
Having had a least 6 different prior dentists, I knew that there are good dentists, there are okay dentists, there are apathetic dentists, and there are bad dentists. However, after meeting with Dr. Hymas, I discovered there is a fifth category of dentists - FANTASTIC dentists! Not only was his office building clean, modern, technologically updated, and conveniently located in a safe location, but he and his staff (or as I could see them treated - awesome employees who work WITH him and not just for him) were polite, respectful, knowledgeable, quick, technologically savvy, and genuinely caring.
Although I had an 8:40 am appointment time, they were 100% ready for me - no waiting at all. Dr. Hymas and his support team were all friendly and excited to be there. During the exam and cleaning, it was clear to me that they (Heather and Dr. Hymas) were incredibly thorough as they examined each and every tooth front and back for things that I wasn't even aware could be issues. They were cautious about the sensitivity in my tooth and took care to use a different cleaning method for just that one tooth even though they could have just continued quickly with the other method.
Before the exam, Heather and Chet (as he didn't mind me calling him) ensured that they understood my health issues (Parkinson's Disease) so that they could provide me with additional advice suited to my personal needs. Every step of the way, they explained what they were going to do and made sure I was comfortable with the selected method of care.
Here's the real kickers though: 1) Dr. Hymas' team checked with my insurance to see if it would allow me to do some additional care that I needed, and then cleared it with me to see if I would be interested. It was additional care that I didn't even know was available for my situation, and they knew it, so they got it approved! And, 2) on a whim, I mentioned that I really liked a certain type of floss that I used to use 20 years ago, but I hadn't seen it in a long time, and wondered if they knew why it wasn't made anymore. To my great surprise, guess who happened to have several packages that they could give me??? Yup, Dr. Hymas!
As for Chet's direct care, he was gentle, thorough, and easygoing. He didn't try to push me on any products or chastise me for any poor cleaning habits. He was honest and simply explained to me things that would help me preserve my oral health. I immediately felt like I had found the right dentist.
If you are looking for a dentist who is using the best technology to do a superb job with your dental health, and someone who you can laugh with and trust, I can assure you, Chet Hymas does not disappoint! With the way I was treated, I simply cannot imagine that any patient receives anything less than the best treatment.
