New to the area and needed to get my daughter in for her 6 month check up…read more I called to leave a message and submitted a "new patient request" on their website. I was contacted by email in less than 24 hrs to let me know that new patients weren't being accepted until July, but that I could go into a wait list for potential cancellations. Less than 24 hrs later I got a call from the office to let me know two slots had opened up the next day. I saw others give low reviews on google for their communication turn around so I wanted to be sure to note that I had a very prompt response time from the office. The morning of, we had an appt at 9, but weren't seen until 9:30. All things considered, this office opens at 7 and I understand that things can back up if kids are having a tough time and appts before us took longer than anticipated. I appreciated the front desk letting me know the situation and that they in turn appreciated my patience as we waited for a chair to open for my daughters cleaning. Once we were called back, the appt itself was AMAZING. Big shout out to the dental hygienist who worked w my 6 year old. My daughter has an aversion to the water pick and suction tube and asked if she could please use a cup of water and an empty cup to spit it out when she needed to rinse her mouth. She was kindly and easily accommodated and the cleaning went by without incident. This was the first time my daughter let a hygienist use an electric toothbrush, floss, count and clean teeth and FINALLY take x-rays after 2 years of meltdowns at previous offices/attempts. The hygienist was very clear and kind, always letting my daughter know what to expect in a kid friendly way, reading cues to ask my daughter if she needed to pause and take some deep breaths , and listening to my daughter to work together for a great cleaning and x-Ray experience. My daughter loved that she could watch a movie during her appt. Very thankful to have found this office.

I experienced the…read moremost uncomfortable dental emergency of my life, and after countless visits to other dentists and specialists, I decided to give Dr. Hoy a chance after hearing amazing reviews and recommendations from people at my gym. From the moment I walked in, I felt an extraordinary sense of comfort. Dr. Hoy is professional, kind, honest, and truly a wonderful human being. When it comes to my health, I take great care in choosing the right people to partner with, and I feel beyond blessed to have been directed to him. His care and expertise are unmatched, and I can't thank him enough for helping me during such a difficult time. His entire staff has been amazing as well. Very caring people. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. It's hard to put into words just how thankful I am to have found Dr. Hoy!

Yes, the procedures I needed required financing above what we thought our insurance would cover. Turns out it covered more so large credits on our financing was a welcomed surprise. If they are wrong about what your insurance will cover they take the hit. They also verify that they take your insurance and are in network (lots of dentists don't). One last tip. If the dentist you go to has anything about Botox in their lobby or treatment rooms then get up and leave, you are being scammed and ripped off.

I moved to Niceville from Louisiana. I had x-rays done only 5 months before my appointment at…read moreAspen. When making my appointment, I asked if they would be able to use my x-rays and chart form my Louisiana dentist. They said yes, so I emailed them as they requested me to do. After completing the medical history, I was taken back to get X-rays done. I had reminded them that i had already sent them recent x-rays. They responded that they wanted to do their own. After having 25 painful x-rays done, they told me I only needed to do 5 more. I said it's too painful (I have a small mouth), I said no more X-rays. I am 71 years old. Over the years, I have never, ever had to take more than 6 x-rays on any or my prior visits. They took 25 and were not done. I said I could no longer stand the pain. They called the doctor in. He was insensitive to my pain and said they needed to do the remaining x-rays. I told the doctor I could no longer stand the pain and just asked for a cleaning. He said they could not do that. So, I excused myself. I figure that they were getting paid by Humana for the number of x-rays.

I just had the BEST dental experience!! It wasn't just an appointment it was truly an experience…read more My husband and I are retired Air Force and we were in search of a family dentist. We hit the jackpot! Every step in the process from booking an appointment, filling out the electronic forms, COVID screening, handling insurance claims, to the exam and cleaning was flawless. Dr. Ottesen is a true professional with an impeccable bedside (chair-side) manner to match. Her staff is also a reflection of what kind of practice she runs and I was blown away by the competency, efficiency, and kindness of everyone. The Ottesen team completed my 3 year olds first exam and she couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had at the dentist. My husband was blown away by how in depth his initial exam was and how much he learned. I have always suffered from dental issues but I feel like for the first time in my life, I have the knowledge and the staff to help me get the results I want. If you are looking for a family dentist that will make you feel like you are a part of their team and family then look no further. I was so impressed with my experience that I felt inclined to write this review as soon as I got home.

I have had many cleanings and at times had my teeth cleaned up to 4 times a year. Recently I had what I would call a dental emergency and was not willing to wait over a week to get an appointment. Finding Dr. Broutin was a good thing. He had me in his chair within 24 hours and considering the pain I was in was required. I'm sure there are many great dentists out there but there were several things about him that stood out from the other dentists I have associated with through the years. 1st. He got me in quickly and the appointment time was right . I was in the chair at the appointed time. 2nd He had and used digital x-rays that showed the (my) problem on a 15 inch LCD TV screen. I became informed as to what the problem was. I could see it. A picture is worth a thousand words. 3rd He took the time to talk about the problem and the options available. Close -up digital pictures were taken and I could see for myself that what was explained was in fact accurate. 4th. He tries to save teeth. Which he did. He takes personal pride in doing so. He gave me a time line as to what I could expect with another looming tooth issue. Which I was completely unaware of even after having a cleaning and a complete set of x-rays taken 40 days earlier at another dental office. 5th The work was excellent. I was back to chewing steak on both sides of my mouth within days. I needed no readjustment as has been common in my past. In closing... If I had stayed under the care of the dentist I had been going to I would have lost ( in my opinion) 2 important jaw teeth. I am grateful to Dr. Broutin and his staff for saving those 2 teeth . The Dr. has my trust and respect. AND I have not received any discount or special rate for writing this review nor do I expect or desire any.

Finally a great experience with a dentist! I cannot say…read moreenough good things about Dr. Broutin and how he listens to all your questions, concerns and problems and addresses them. He explains exactly what he recommends be done and explains all your options fully. I love the ability to see after he is done working on my teeth, actual shots on the tv screen of each step of the process. A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to seeing the actual condition of your dental work. I came to Dr. Broutin after I was unsatisfied with my last dentist of 2 years who I felt was unresponsive to my concerns about the fit of a crown for over a year and other nagging problems. Dr. B. was able to determine the reason for the problems and fix them after my first visit. His office staff is wonderful and friendly and have always been able to get me in quickly whenever it was necessary. Although I have only seen Dr. B for regular dental work, I would not hestitate to have cosmetic dentistry done in the future. Dr. Broutin is a true professional and perfectionist who obviously loves what he does.
