People Are Talking…

We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to have such a direct impact on someone else's life.  The joy we get from developing relationships with our patients and giving them back their smile is so rewarding.  Moments like these are why we do what we do.

In the words of just a few of the wonderful people we've had the privilege to work with:

“It is a pleasure to be able to write an enthusiastic review and unqualified recommendation for Dr. Halmos, who is without a doubt the best dental practitioner I have ever known and one whom I believe has few equals.  I came to Dr. Halmos with a great deal of anxiety related to my dental care and felt edgy and frightened. Over the course of the fairly extensive dental work that Dr. Halmos has provided for me over the last year, my extreme anxiety has been replaced by a sense of trust and well-being.  I actually look forward to my visits to his office.  I am always happy with the results of his work and of the work of the people who work alongside him. 

His staff are wonderful.  Sydney at the front desk and his dental assistant Chelsea are both organized, effective, personable, enjoyable, and capable, making their own meaningful contributions to patient care.

My experiences with four dentists, an orthodontist, and three other prosthodontists taught me what it was that I was looking for in a dental care provider.  Dr. Halmos exemplifies all of the positive qualities that I had only hoped to find: he is thoughtful, honest, up-front, keenly analytical, refreshingly humble, perfectionistic, resourceful, able to utilize human and gold standard technological resources to optimize his clinical outcomes, kind and positive, determined and persevering in accomplishing the best patient outcomes, aesthetically talented and detailed, inclusive and respectful of me as a patient.  He is generous with his time, never making me feel he is in a hurry, but rather that he has all the time in the world to focus on taking care of me/ his patient, to the best of his (exemplary) abilities.  I enjoy his sense of humor and love his stories.  I think he is a really decent human being, remarkable, outstanding, unique, extraordinary.  

To put a little meat on the bones of the qualities I have detailed above, let me describe how we decided on my treatment plan.  I came to him having had several dentists and prosthodontists recommend, really insist, that the only option I had was to have a full mouth reconstruction. He spent a great deal of time with me, listening to my concerns and hopes, understanding that I really wanted to retain as much of the remaining structural integrity of my teeth as was possible.  He made me a full participant.  He could have discounted me or patronized me or belittled me, but instead, time and again, from the very first day and throughout the time he worked with me, he consistently elicited my input, respecting me, my perspectives and feelings.  He used his ingenuity, resourcefulness, and skills to develop and implement an effective plan that accomplished our goals without reducing the structure of my teeth, but instead added to them. I think he called it an additive instead of subtractive process (with minimal impact, without doing a full mouth reconstruction).  My bite is now great.  My teeth are now well shaped, intact, reinforced, and stronger.  My smile looks natural and is more beautiful than it has ever been.  I am a happy camper.

I love Dr. Halmos (and his staff) and will always be grateful to him for giving me back my smile.  He has made a huge and positive difference in my life”.
