Vital Response L.

This office is amazing! They were wonderful with our low-functioning autistic son! I would recommend Dr. Hoffman to anyone!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We’re honored to provide a caring and supportive experience for every family who visits our office.

Nicole B.

I am so thrilled we found a dentist office that also has the best interests of our loved one in mind! They have goals of just not making people comfortable, but work towards overcoming fears when possible; along with when sedation is necessary, creating a best case scenario! Special thanks to Rebecca, Dr. Hoffman, and his nurse for the time and education we needed to help our little guy with his new transition!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and trust in our team! We’re so glad you felt supported and informed throughout your experience. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to provide compassionate care!

Our son, Jimmy Henderson , has been having all of his dental care done by Dr. Michael Hoffmann and his team at the Dental Anesthesia Center for the past 15 years. He goes there once a year and they put him to sleep, clean his teeth, take x-rays and fix anything that needs to be repaired. They are such a blessing for us and our son. He couldn’t tolerate a regular dentist. We heartily recommend them for your dental care. Terry & Debbie Henderson
