The office itself is small, which actually makes it feel much more personal and comfortable compared to larger, busy clinics. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole visit feel relaxed and even fun. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt at ease throughout the appointment. You can tell they really care about their patients and creating a positive experience. The space is clean, nicely decorated, and has a calm vibe that helps take the stress out of going to the dentist. It's the kind of place where you feel like you're more than just another appointment. If you're looking for a dental office that's cozy, welcoming, and run by a kind, professional team, I'd definitely recommend this place!

I wish he could have lifted my boobs, but that is not his specialty. We are lucky to have him here in Goleta/S.B. His staff are humane and caring, the magazines are even good. I cannot comment on the cost because I have nothing to compare it to. It costs a bundle, but you can take a dental loan and pay it off in a decent amount of time.

You can't schedule in advance more than a few weeks out for a some reason, they never answer the phone, and there's some hard sell procedure on every visit to try to extract more money from you. They are aggressive on billing, they actually brought the credit card machine into the room during my treatment to pay *during* my filling. Other times they call and email over and over to collect bills I already paid. They won't do a cleaning and exam on the same visit, you have to do 2 separate appointments and they won't do a cleaning unless you sit through the hard sell and agree to the procedures they want to do. They got annoyed when I asked a question about what they wanted to do to my mouth and said I shouldn't ask questions because it "affects the quality of care they can provide" . Um no, answering patients' questions is exactly how you DO provide quality care, not the other way round. No one ever answers the phone so you have to ask questions during the appointment but they just want to crank your teeth into dollars and keep quiet I guess. Had to go back 2 more times to get a filling smoothed out because they were so rushed the filling was lumpy and rough and I couldn't get floss around it. They were annoyed with me that they did crappy work to begin with. I stopped going here after that. It's a drill-mill, good luck.

Everything seemed new and state of the art. Their staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and overall I had a very pleasant experience. Just this week I decided to go back in to see Dr. Hlavaty for a more in-depth procedure. A previous dentist had given me a filling in a back tooth that left a gap. For the past 5 or 6 years I have been needing to floss after every meal as to not allow food to get stuck which just kind of became my routine but all of that flossing caused damage to another tooth as well requiring a second filling. Because I have never been a huge fan of getting dental work done, I pushed it off for way too long. Dr. Hlavaty had me in and out feeling like the gap was never there. The doc and his assistant consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and fixed both teeth before I knew it. The process was quick and painless. I feel like in the future I will be far less hesitant to get dental work done because I know I now have a great dentist to rely on.
