Dr Hoover has taken such good care of us over the years! When I was looking for a dentist years ago I asked my primary care doc for a recommendation and he said “Have I got a recommendation for you, Dr Hoover is absolutely the best.” He was so right! Dr H is so caring and patient and makes going to the dentist pleasant and I’ve had some major dental work done throughout the years and it has been pain free. Thank you for all you do, Dr Hoover!
