For reasons unclear to us, we were sent a letter saying that he no longer wished to be our dentist. The staff was rude to us as well. It was devistating to us. It even included my husband's mom and our children and sister in-law. We were in search of a new dentist that would also accept our insurance! Dr. Hilgers office was glad to have us as patience. His secretary, at the time, made us feel wanted and helped us with the rejection from our previous dentist. Moreover, My husband and I are confident in Dr. Hilgers expertise and also find him to be kind and amiable. While he is a respected dentist he also takes the time to be personable and caring. I would recommend Dr. Hilgers to anyone!

It was very apparent that Dr. Elloway truly cared about the well being and comfort of my daughter. They instantly put her at ease and were very sensitive to her extra needs due to her Autism.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Elloway to anyone looking for good dental care for their child and am thankful that my daughters are in good hands under their care.

My toddler didn't cry, didn't whine or complain. She just watched some crappy Barbie movie that Nikki picked out especially for her and loved every minute of her dental appointment. Dr. Elloway, while not fun like Nikki, was informative and thorough. Nikki was right with Dr. Elloway the whole time, so my daughter was totally comfortable with the new hands in her mouth. Finally, my toddler got x-rays done by another young lady there and she was great too! She made sure my daughter was comfortable and not scared. After our appointment, the receptionist had gone to lunch, so the x-Ray tech got my daughter all the fun swag she could find and with such enthusiasm. That was clearly not her job (she had too look around for a second to find the good stuff) but she told me, " Oh this is important! We want her to love it here and want to come back." Mission accomplished.

We have seen Dr Elloway twice and had no issues. However, our most recent appt she tried to force…read moremy three year old special needs child to open his mouth. He was getting increasingly upset and so I stopped her and told her that we need his cooperation otherwise it won't work out. She talked to me like I was an idiot, told me that she can't do anything if she can't get in his mouth. I'm well aware of that, thanks, but you have to gain his cooperation. During all of this his lip had a tiny blood spot and she said something about his lips being dry. I felt that she minimized his feelings, my feelings, her actions; and she was perfectly okay with forcing him a second time until he was so upset that I burst into tears and told her to stop and apologized to my son and told him we were all done. During all of this I reminded her of his special needs, to which she replied that she remembered. I should not have to explain my child's special needs AGAIN while he's in a dental chair crying, just to try and get the dentist to handle him with care. I felt rushed, I felt as though she wasn't flexible and didn't attempt to remedy the situation or make my son feel safe in her office. The fact that she felt comfortable forcing him, in and of itself, made me decide to take my child elsewhere in the future.

Both Dr. Elloway and her staff were extremely gentle and professional with my child. Never have we been treated so well by dental staff. We have been to multiple dentists due to my daughter's Severe Autism and have had very poor experiences with other dentists. But this office was different. Not only were they knowledgeable about special needs, but they were also genuinely concerned about my daughter's well being and were more than willing to accommodate her extra needs. Above all, she received excellent and professional treatment when they did her dental procedures while under sedation. I am fully confident that my daughter is in excellent hands with Dr. Elloway. We have finally found a dentist who is not only experienced, gentle and knowledgeable with special needs children, but also provides the very best dental Care!

I recently moved to the…read morearea right before the whole Covid pandemic happened, and had a badly chipped tooth I needed to get fixed ASAP. After multiple unsuccessful attempts getting in touch with other dentists in the area, I was finally able to connect with Dr. Tim who agreed to see me on very short notice the next day! Not only that, but he fixed the chip and touched up the tooth to the point that the tooth actually looked BETTER than it had before! Dr. Tim has got to be the nicest, most personable dentist I've ever met. I have a lot anxiety going to dentist's offices (mostly due to my fear of needles) and he went very far out of his way to make me feel comfortable prior to getting my filling. All around an amazing experience -- cannot recommend these folks highly enough!
