Dr Hatcher is the most unprofessional dentist I have ever encountered. He was demeaning to his staff and cruel to my 5 year old daughter. My daughter has been to the dentist in the past and has always been brave and pleasant. I am concerned that this encounter has traumatized her profoundly. He was so detached and insensitive to her needs as a child it was shocking. The way she was handled during a novicaine injection was so rough that her nose was bloodied. I will be reporting him to the dental board. Do not give this man any of your money! No one should ever be allowed, let alone paid to treat people the way that he does. He is emotionally destructive! If I could give negative stars, I would.

I found this Dental office out of sheer luck! The waiting room is small, but they are prompt at getting you in with the hygienist. The service provided is very personalized, they spend as much time as you need answering questions — never just rushing you in & out like a fast food drive thru. I love that this office uses more natural tooth cleaning powder that not only tastes good but doesn’t burn your mouth — it’s a natural formula without the synthetic ingredients/preservatives. Dr.Hatcher is a wealth of knowledge, he is very friendly, caring, open, and WELCOMES questions!!! They take digital photos of your teeth & can show/explain to you everything that is happening in your mouth during the procedure (should you want to know) — this is such a breath of fresh air compared to ALL the other dentists I have had service from. Another amazing thing about Dr. Hatcher is that he really cares about helping you PRESERVEYOUROWNTEETH, by this I mean he educates you on what materials would be ideal for your fillings/procedures & why. for example, former dentists had always used«composite» aka plastic fillings on my teeth since I didn’t want amalgam/mercury, unfortunately I never was informed that if you get this type of filling on a load-bearing molar it will not last very long (5years — maybe), which stinks because most insurance doesn’t cover very much of a composite filling and then you end up needing them replaced every 2 years until your teeth will need crowns. Thank god I found Cedar Cliff at this point(only one partial crown needed) — some of my teeth had been filled 6x!!! WHYDIDN’T ANYOFTHEOTHER«PROFESSIONALS» NOTICETHISCYCLE!!! So here I am getting the porcelain inlays I should’ve originally gotten, but it’s costing a small fortune($ 500-$ 900 per tooth). If I had gotten these inlays in the first place I would have significantly more tooth left then I do today — and I had already spent a small fortune paying for fillings that didn’t work since my insurance only covered amalgam. Summary: Go to Cedar Cliff, or another holistic-minded dentist — you will retain much more tooth & be more informed about many different aspects to caring for your teeth.
