Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend him more highly. Dr. Hovhannes is so thorough and informative, and he lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. Thanks for all you have done.

Going to the dentist is not something I look forward to. Dr. Hovhannes helped make the experience a positive one with his friendly and professional demeanor. He was knowledgeable and explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand. He showed me my x-rays and explained what he would be doing ahead of time and asked me if I had questions or concerns. Overall I’m very pleased and can look forward to my next cleaning without anxiety.
