In my 78 years I can honestly say that I've never had a better hygienist than Jenna and Mindy. They were both very sensitive to my needs and experts with a needle. Not to mention Dr Kivel is an artist of dentistry. I thank them for their patience.

I so appreciate the professionalism and talent of this office. I had my second crown by Curtis Haynie D.M.D. today with Alma’s wonderful reassuring assistance and I would recommend them 100%. Such a relief after having a bad experience in another state several years ago.

Highly recommend! Exceptional customer care and space age technology! Dr Haynie completed my crown in one sitting. I can attest to their claim of no pain dentistry. The office staff and technicians are highly skilled and focused on your care the minute you walk in the door and eager to explain all details of the procedure and freely invite any questions you have. I have never had a more comfortable nor compassionate and pain free enjoyable dental experience.

I was a patient at Hood River Dental for 10+ years, first at the Belmont office, then at the E Sherman office. Sasha was very attentive to my dental care, ensuring I had solid advice for ensuring I maintained my dental health. Looking back, I'm also impressed with Doctor Haynie's enthusiasm for dental and patient care. He was always excited to share his techniques, enthusiastic to explain why a particular procedure was so exciting, and generally made going to the dentist fun. Hood River Dental also offers cutting-edge dental technologies. My current dental office assumed that, being from a small town, I'd never experienced digital charting, digital x-rays, panoramic x-rays, or in-house and same-day crown modeling and creation. Hood River Dental offers all of these and more. You get all of the cutting-edge techniques that dental offices in The Big Cities offer in Hood River, with professional, caring, and enthusiastic care. If I could swing it, I'd consider the long drive to Hood River Dental for care. They're worth it!

I’ve been a patient at Hood River Dental 13 years and couldn’t be happier. Along with their state of the art care, the professional and friendly staff educates and inspires me to practice thorough dental hygiene between visits. Thank you Dr. Haynie, Sasha and all the great people at Hood River Dental!

I don't normally seek out Dentists, (which of course is why I found myself in Dr. Paynes chair)I had a nightmarish dental experience as a young teen which left a pronounced scar on my face. Dr Payne and his AMAZING dental assistant "Rico" performed dental magic on me which left me in complete awe of Hood River Dental. If you don't go to Hood River Dental for each and every one of yours and your family's dental needs you will get inferior treatment and quality. Ok that was obviously mean to the other HR Dentists, but you will definately not get the dynamic duo of Rico and Dr. Payne they are professionals in every sense of the word. Please go and see my new lifetime Dentist, Dr. Payne and experience Dental Arts at its finest.
