I’ve been going to Dr. hurts since I was 6 and I’m about to be 32. Nice staff, friendly staff, and Dr. is very involved till this day! The fact that he called me after my visit before the day ended to check in on how I was doing after getting my braces on was so unexpected and appreciated !!!

Excellent! Work is perfectly done! My daughter has a beautiful smile and I am working on my own smile with doctor Hurst. I must say that wearing a braces is not and easy for 8 years old kid. Because of very creative and well organized team of doctor Hurst's clinic and professional approaches my daughter went good through these year. I am mentioning about couple examples here but there are planty thing doctor Hurst is doing for his client beside the main service. It is a very cute looking braces and expandersetc (glowing in the dark, sparkling and shining, funny prints inside the acrylic and many more options) offers to kids to feel the positive vibes about wearing a braces and take care of their teeth. Doctor Hurst and company are doing multiple contests and organize parties for clients such as a party at the Water Park. I just recently won Padres gift card for one of the summer contest. It is always easy to call to the office and make an appointment or talk about any concerns. I would highly recommend to go and have a consultation with doctor Hurst if you have any questions related to the teeth beauty. And not less important that it was a several way and options for me to pay which makes me to feel financially comfortable during these year. Thank you!

Errin Goeres

I had an appointment for Invisalign. When I walked in the office the first thing you feel is so welcomed by the front office staff, who are great. My appointment was with Sarah who answered every question I had. When Dr Hurst came in he made me feel important, had visual aids to show me what my teeth will look like after. I will be using Dr Hurst for Invisalign. And telling everyone I know who needs braces or Invisalign to go to his office as well. Thank you for being so helpful and amazing!

Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind words! We do our best to make everyone feel welcome and important.
