Hillside Dental Care

Just became new patients here and am trying to get my whole family moved over here. It’s a little hard to get in as a new patient but I have been really impressed with everything else. I have worked in the dental field so I have knowledge in the way things are done and have been more than happy with the treatments and their updated equipment. I feel confident that what needs to be done really needs to be done and would recommend them to my family and friends.

These guys are AWESOME! The front desk staff are so friendly you feel like your at their home. Kim is an amazing dental hygienist and a more genuine personable person couldn’t be found. They are very caring and thorough. The husband and wife team that are the dentists are very knowledgeable and puts you at ease. Highly highly recommend.

They did an amazing job with my not so easy 8 year old son, filling 3 cavities in one day. He came out laughing and joking even though the left side of his face was numb and remained so for the next 2 – 3 hours. I was impressed!

Top-​notch dentist and excellent staff. I usually have a lot of anxiety when going to the dentist and these caring professionals have made each visit pleasant and stress-​free.

Best dental care ever! Let me say that again: Best. Dental. Care. Ever!!!
I had avoided going to the dentist for two years before coming here, out of fear of needing a bunch of tiny fillings due to my genetically strange teeth (thanks, dad!).
I made an appointment here on a whim; the Unilocal reviews were good so I was just hoping for a decent cleaning experience after putting it off for so long. The whole experience was awesome. Every single person who works here is sweet, but in a real way, not the cloying, fake sort that happens in a lot of other places.
Linda was my hygienist and she was a hoot. I’m a bit of a jokester myself and her sense of humor was spot on and made my whole experience even better. I was legitimately sad when the cleaning was over, which nothing I have ever been able to say prior to my visit here.
Since I first went to Hillside I have seen both dentists. Dr. Taylor is great, but I specifically loved seeing Dr. Braxmeyer. It was nice to have a lady dentist (for the first time in my life!), and she didn’t practice doom and gloom dentistry like I experienced at the last place I went over in SE. However, she was also as thorough as I wanted and answered every question I had without being cold or impersonal; it was around Thanksgiving time and we both talked about our families and plans for the holiday.
After two years of avoiding the dentist I turns out I only needed two small cavities filled. That was a relief in and of itself, but the appointment was also easy to schedule and the way they perform fillings is novel and awesome! They use some sort of dental. something (I forget what they call it, rats) to keep all the extra water/​debris/​etc. out of your mouth while they’re working on a tooth; it made the whole experience easier and better both on my end and theirs. Dr. Braxmeyer did my two fillings and I couldn’t be happier with them.
I’ve been back since for a cleaning and have another scheduled in November.
Sadly I’m moving back across the country at the end of the year, otherwise I’d be going to Hillside for years to come.
I’ve already recommended this place to every single person I know, including those who hate going to the dentist or don’t really feel comfortable with the one they’re at now, so I figured it was time to make the same case on Unilocal for everyone to see.
Seriously. You won’t regret it.

great dental clinic… my hygienist is just awesome, very warm, caring and has never once made me feel any pain. everyone there is very welcoming and has a bright and happy attitude. the dentists are great (i have seen both) and are very direct, to the point and don’t try to push anything on you. been to many different clinics and this is by the far the best.

I have been one of Dr. Taylor’s patients for over 20 years, and in my file there is a picture of this little boy, standing there, proudly grinning from ear to ear after a cavity free checkup right alongside the 30 something adult version with the same grin. Kim is absolutely wonderful as are Linda and Mandy, and of course it just wouldn’t be the same without Margo smiling at you as you walk in the door. And Dr. Braxmeyer recently filled a cavity (first one in a long time) for me that would make Dr. Taylor proud. Outstanding job! And thank you all for making the «trip to the dentist» something to look forward too… Hmm… I seem to be limited to only 5 stars… :-)

I am not a fan of going to the dentist (not many of those, huh?)…but going here has been a pleasure! The staff is friendly, hygienists are gentle & caring and the Dr Braxmeyer is great! I always request Kim as my hygienist — she is amazing! My 4 yr old daughter loves going there too! My boys are also patients there… never a complaint from them! I have been to other dentists over the years who I felt were dishonest and uncaring… Hillside Dental is nothing like this. They have actually made me look forward to my appts every 6 months!

I’ve seen Dr Taylor since I moved here in 1998. I can honestly say I have not had a moment of discomfort in his chair. All the staff are helpful and friendly. Having worked for a dentist myself previously, there’s always a little anxiety when you find a new provider. Dr Taylor quickly put those anxieties to rest. I’ve been very happy with his care.
