    3 days after my abscess was lanced and drained. Finally starting to get some relief.
    Stephanie Z.

    This makes me so sad to write this because I initially loved this dentist and his staff. But after the incredibly painful and time consuming experience I had here I felt that I should share my story so others are aware. The dentist and his secretaries are incredibly friendly. That is the main problem I have with only giving them one star. With that being said I had several fillings done here. Almost all of them were done without any issues. Except for one filling. I ended up having terrible jaw pain almost 2 months after one of them was filled and went back in to see the doctor. He informed me that everything looked normal. So I left feeling as though the pain must just be temporary. Within two weeks of that visit I ended up in urgent care due to the pain in my jaw and swelling of my face. I left urgent care and drove to my dentist hoping he would be more helpful in identifying the problem. He took X-rays and told me everything looked normal again and wrote me a referral to see an Endodontist. He also prescribed me antibiotics. Because I was unable to see an endocrinologist I went to another dentist for a second opinion. She looked at my X-rays and told me I needed a root canal as soon as possible. Dr. Hamilton had performed a filling on a tooth that was too close to the nerve without informing me that is could cause trauma to the tooth root. My tooth root became infected which lead to a very large abscess along my gums and my nerve dying . I had the root canal and the large abscess drained two days after visiting dr Hamilton for the last time. The dentist who did my root canal agreed that the issues were because of the trauma the tooth experienced during my routine fi visit. As you can believe I was highly upset when I found that out. I also really did not like the fact that Dr. Hamilton acted is if he could not see the infection on the X-rays. Both dentists I saw after him (within the same day) saw the infection in the X-ray. When I called to inform them of the news I found out his secretary continued to say that the took no responsibility for what happened. I understand that these things happen, but after seeing him twice for the pain and being sent away with no answers that's when I became upset. They made me feel as though I was searching for pain medication and everything was all in my head. We are supposed to be able to trust our doctors to care for us to the best of their ability. Sadly I will never go back here because I no longer trust Dr. Hamilton or his staff. Beware of places that seem too good to be true. And make sure to ask more questions and have everything throughly explained to you before committing to any dental work here.

    Dr. Hamilton always takes great care of me. Some dentists/offices are fast and do not care to explain things to the patient, the doctor and staff here are very kind and receptive to the patient. The office is also very nice and clean, and everyone is always in a good mood and caring. If you are on the fence about which dentist to go to, you will love it here!

I am a very picky patient and have done my research when it comes to dental care. Dr. Walker and his staff is exceptional. They are honest, deliver great patient care and communication, along with high quality, skilled dental work. The office is well equipped with modern X-rays and conveniently has oral surgeons and root canal specialist rotating every month so you do not need to jump around with other clinics for different specialists. Destinee was also incredibly patient with me, and provided excellent support. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Anyone looking for a trusty skilled dentist for routine care or complex dental work, Clint Walker is a unique find with good bedside manners and moral. Highly recommend!

I went in for a treatment, but the doctor did not follow the correct procedure and instead caused severe pain and discomfort. The crowns exacerbated my issues, leading to the need for heavy medication just to manage the pain. After enduring this for some time, I sought a second opinion from another dentist, who quickly identified that I had been the victim of malpractice. This new dentist corrected the issues and properly performed the root canals, resolving the pain and complications caused by the original procedure. I strongly advise anyone considering this practice to be cautious. The lack of proper care and knowledge from this dentist caused me significant physical and emotional distress, and I would never recommend them to anyone. I'm sharing my experience in the hopes of preventing others from going through the same painful ordeal. Please do your research and choose a dentist who will prioritize your well-being and follow the correct procedures.
