Dear Dr. Hodgins & Staff,

I was one of your many patients at Dentistry From The Heart. Words cannot even begin to express the gratitude that I have for your generosity. Good people like yourself are rare these days. When no one else cared you were there for me in my time of great need. It is really refreshing to find a dentist who sincerely cares for his patients. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of a good dentist. Thanks for going above and beyond my expectations. May god bless you and your caring staff!

With many thanks,

This letter is written to you and your wonderful staff with my heartfelt gratitude for the kind, compassionate and professional care you have shown towards me in my journey to a 'new and improved me'

I have always been blessed with a beautiful smile of straight, white teeth while growing up. My smile would always be the first thing people would compliment me on. In my twenties and thirties my teeth were never a priority because I though they 'looked fine' and did not bother me. Of course, my life was always too busy to be bothered with more than the yearly trip to the dentist and the occasional crown I would have to have.

Then came pregnancy, mid-life hormones and stress all combined over the years to wear down that smile had come to take for granted. First the teeth thinned and wore down. Then they became gray and brittle and finally, they started cracking and breaking. I was told this was a normal process of aging and to accept it. Accept it? Never! I was only 49 years old - I wasn't ready to give up my smile. I then began my frantic search for a dentist who would not look upon my mouth as a gold mine but rather one who would care about me and listen to what was important to me. Many dentists later, I was still discouraged with feeling the 'victim' of a lot of quick-fix patch up jobs that would not last.

I had always loved to laugh out loud and gradually began to resort to only smiling and covering my mouth all the time out of embarrassment of my teeth. I felt sad that this was the way it was to be the rest of my life - I even feared eventually losing all my teeth. One day I was lamenting my dental woes to a fellow nurse and how I could not seem to find a good dentist to listen to me.

She said "I have just the dentist for you!" and handed me your card. I remembered seeing your advertisement on 'Extreme Makeover' on television and though I was interested and intrigued, I thought to myself there was no way I could afford this. But my co-worker said to me, Just go - you won't be sorry. My nervous trepidation was immediately put at ease as the friendly pleasant voice of your receptionist scheduled an appointment for a complimentary evaluation promptly. I was impressed with the ambience of the office that did not smell or look clinical but relaxing and pleasing to the eye.

I did not have to wait long to be ushered in and was further impressed that you took your time to listen to me, did not seem to chastise me for being less than an ideal dental client in the past and patiently answered my many questions. As you mapped out a plan of treatment for my smile, I was also pleased when you discussed ways of adjusting my bite to see if we could rid me of me lifelong headaches that had plagued me frequently.

Then the dreaded question - the cost. You had an answer for that too in that you worked with me to tailor a plan that was affordable for me. I remember walking - no floating - out the door that day with the feeling of hope in a long time that I could feel normal again. As an educator in the medical field I was impressed by your desire to always improve on your knowledge base with the latest technologies and techniques. It is apparent that you love what you do and I can attest that you are great at what you try to achieve for your clients.

I know I was not the easiest of patients with my anxiety, many questions and requests but you met each question and challenge from me with patience and professionalism and never made me feel like I was a bother to you and your staff. You pampered me with the aroma therapy candles, paraffin wax hand dips, lap blanket and heated neck pillow to relax me. You called me personally at the end of the day to check on me and I knew I had found a really special person then.

When the treatment plan was finished, I was overcome with emotion over my beautiful smile. Not only that but I have only had one or two mild headaches in the past year! Now again people are saying to me, What a beautiful smile you have! I wish mine was like that. To this I respond, I have just the dentist for you! as I hand them your card... Thank you, thank you, thank you for instilling my confidence back to me, making me feel beautiful and especially for helping me to laugh out loud unabashedly again!

Sincerely,

Debbie Johnson, RN/CHPN

Dear Dr. Hodgins,

Qudos to you and your entire staff for all of your help in transforming my life. What you have done for me is nothing short of a miracle. For the first time in many years I am not ashamed to smile and I owe it all to you and your awesome staff. I have been unhappy about my teeth and smile for quite some time.

My unattractive smile robbed me of my confidence and outgoing personality. Because of neglect and what I later found out to be partly due to heredity my teeth started to deteriorate. A natural smile became very difficult. I would turn away to smile or smile without showing my teeth and sometimes even resulted to shielding my smile with my hand. It was such an embarrassment. I became a different person.

One evening while viewing a makeover show on television your name and number flashed on the screen. I actually remembered the number in my head and made a call the very next day to set an appointment for a consultation. I had nothing to lose but maybe, just maybe a chance at regaining my once beautiful smile.

After the consultation what I thought was impossible could now become a reality. Your knowledge and willingness to address all of my concerns put me right at ease. The thought of getting dentures was a little scary but because of your gentleness, patience and guidance I knew I was in very capable hands. To my surprise what could have been a traumatic experience was actually enlightening and rewarding.

The end result exceeded even my greatest expectations. I now have renewed confidence and a beautiful set of pearly whites. And for that I offer you my most humble thanks and sincerest gratitude. Your kindness and genuine care and concern is truly refreshing. You are a rare breed. Much success to you and your wonderful staff.

Dear Dr. Hodgins,

I’m not sure I can find words strong enough to express my gratitude to you and your amazing staff. I have never met a more professional, knowledgeable, and kind group of people.

As you are aware, I have not seen a dentist in many years due to trauma in my personal life. From my very first phone call to your office, I was treated with kindness and understanding by your staff. The first person I spoke with was Jennifer, who is an absolute delight. This goes far beyond any technical skills that may be required to be a dental hygienist. She is amazing.

When I had to return to face a procedure which, for me, was the most likely to trigger flashbacks and an anxiety attack, Dawn worked with me. Her technical skills are excellent, but her ability to cope with the emotional reaction I had makes her 'one in a million'. When I told you she deserves a raise, that was not just the Nitrous Oxide speaking! It was also not lost on me that Jennifer came out and chatted with me in the waiting room that morning. That is the place where anxiety can build up, and she managed to keep that from being a problem for me.

When I first met you, your calm, gentle approach immediately eased some of my tension. I feel that you really understand that this can be difficult for some people, and you go the extra mile to explain what is going to happen and find out what can be done to make it less uncomfortable for the patient.

I don’t know if your staff has been to additional training, or if you just managed to find the right people for the job, but you truly have an extraordinary team. I have had a very positive experience with every single person I’ve come in contact with at the The Dentist’s Studio.

I have highly recommended you to my co-workers and friends, and several of them have asked for your contact information, so you can expect some new patients soon.

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart!

-Karen Lary

My decision to find a dental cosmetologist was filled with trepidation not only did I want experts in the field, I needed a staff that understood my fears of the dentist chair and how to make me as calm as possible. My experience with the Dentist Studio was as if they could have read my mind and understood my fears.

The staff was amazing at making me comfortable and my results are fantastic. I have recommended them to my friends who have had the same great experience. Testimonial of a Coward…

Amiee

Dr. Hodgins and Staff,

My story starts about 17 years ago; I was born with a deformed jaw and decided to have elective surgery, which is called a mandibular osteotomy. This is where they cut the jawbone on both sides and shift the bone forward to give me a chin per say and correct a large underbite. Also they implanted a prosthetic chin too. Before all this I had teeth removed and wore braces for a year.

Then had my teeth wired shut for two months to let the bones heal, and all this at 35 years old. This helped enormously with my bite and my profile. But, the drawback from braces was ware on the teeth and I was still plagued with cracks and some fillings in front teeth that were very discolored.

I went to several dentists who sent me back and forth for root canals and also said that my old root canals needed to be redone. This was news that didn't go well seeing I am very claustrophobic and prone to anxiety attacks. I haven't always been this way but it has gotten much worse. So, after the news about the root canals, I stopped going to the dentist. This was a bad idea of course. Then Extreme Makeover came about and I saw all those great people having teeth restoration that just floored me.

I thought long and hard and went on-line to see if there was anyone in my area who did cosmetic dentistry. And yes, my lucky day, I came across Dr. Zach Hodgins. I looked at several other Dentists but just kept going back, the catch was that he did sedation dentistry which is what I needed to get this done. I sent an email to the website for my complimentary visit on Friday and had an appointment on Monday. And wow what a visit, X-rays, photos and all done by a proficient staff, all great personalities and fantastic work ethics.

They all made me feel very comfortable, no matter what. And then the great news, that I could have full restoration done and under sedation. Dr. Hodgins was very understanding and said they would work with me to get things done. The decision to do several more sessions instead of two or three was because of my bad TMJ (temporomandibular joints). This was fine with me, I just wanted a normal smile. I was also a little concerned about sedation, so I checked out the credentials of Dr. Hodgins and the staff and made sure that I would be monitored with an EKG and O2 monitor.

Being an Interventional Technologist, I have been exposed to a lot of diagnostic exams being done under conscious sedation, and knew it was safe. And was sedated when I had my many root canals and of course the dreaded colonoscopy when I turned 50. My husband has supported me all the way, and always said he loved my smile the way it was and saw nothing wrong with it. But it was much different in my eyes looking in the mirror and seeing pictures of myself. So after several visits, I had a temporary smile that was pretty, but nothing to compare with the smile I have now.

WOW! I am a Radiology Technologist by trade but have been doing applications training all over the world, meeting all kinds of people. Now, there is no more being self-conscious of my smile and I know I smile a lot more. Also, I attend a lot of trade shows for medical x-ray equipment and everyone who sees me says I look great and want to know what I have done. I just say it’s the new smile! I intend to keep up my visits with. Dr. Hodgins, the staff has always been the best, always know my name, and make sure I am comfortable.

So, to Dr. Hodgins and all the staff, Dawn, Renae, Tessie, Jennifer, JoAnn, and Veronica...

Thank you so much for all the special care! You are all truly the best at what you do!

Dr. Hodgins & staff,

I’m writing this note to thank you and your staff for Saturday, 2/9/08, in which you donated your time and helped many people in our community of Central Fl.

We (husband, son & myself) were there all day into the evening until my son was seen for an extraction, which was more than a routine extraction. However, the dentist did not give up.

Your staff was very polite and professional throughout the day.

Thank you again for your generosity.

Dr. Hodgins & Staff,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you and your staff has restored years of low self-esteem. Bye, bye years of covering my mouth when I smile or being reluctant to start up a conversation with a stranger; out of fear that they are steering at my mouth. Now I can be a part of the conversation, instead of wondering if they are focusing on my imperfect smile. Dr. Hodgins words cannot express my gratitude to you for giving me a second chance of a perfect smile. You and your staff were wonderful through out the entire process. From the moment I walk into your front lobby all my fears of the dentist were all out the window. Thank you for giving the chance to smile again.

-Katrona W.

She guided me through the paper-work, showed me around, and even checked on me while I was in the chair. She seemed very interested in my comfort throughout the visit. My X-Rays were done by Karen.

As always, and this is odd to say, I enjoy my visits to the Dentist Studio. Every visit including this one was quick and easy. Even getting an onlay on a molar, at a previous visit, was very comfortable. I have referred family and friends to Dr. Hodgins and can continue to do so with total confidence. The entire staff is well trained in what they do but also in the customer experience and that goes far.

Since coming here in Sept, I no longer have the fears of the dentist as in the past. I use to literally get sick to my stomach. Also, in the past most offices always had someone who was rude to me somehow. I actual enjoy taking care of my teeth now and look forward to my cleanings (love it). The most important part is coming to a dentist office where no one on the team makes me feel self conscious or uncomfortable. It's like I now have a happy relaxing place to come and look forward to my visits.

- Denise W

I was very late and the staff was very nice about it and I was still seen very quickly. I have already suggested the practice to two people who need a dentist and asked me about the experience.

- Laureen T

To be greeted with a sincere hello and huge smile like Jessica's could make anyone's bad day go good again. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable, I was very impressed when I asked if she got in touch with my insurance company and she said everything was taken care of...very professional. Karen, Karen took good care of me and made me very relaxed, answered any and all questions I had that day, she was so concentrated on me and I appreciated it very much that if I could I would have her with me all the time...Thank you Karen. Dr. Hodgins Thank you for seeing me and for the service I am about to encounter with you and your staff. I look forward to a whiter and brighter smile. Once again, Thank you!!

- Lillian F

I was terrified of going to the dentist because of the situation with my teeth. Dr. Hodgins and his staff made me feel so at ease and answer all my concerns. We even made a plan to start fixing my smile. Iv'e never had such e beautiful experience anywhere else. They truely are the BEST!!!!!!!!

I loved The Dentist Studio! Karen was very helpful and made sure I was completely comfortable as she took all my xrays, and Melanie is the best hygenist I have ever had in my entire life. She really made sure I was comfortable and cleaned my teeth without splashing everywhere or cutting my gums like I had experienced in other places. Both ladies were very knowledgeable, and it was a pleasure to have visited The Dentist Studio for my yearly cleaning.

I saw just about everyone that works there. Dawn was extremely helpful and great to work with. Erika, Melanie, and Fernanda were all awesome to speak with and friendly. Oscar did my cleaning and was great! I can't think of anything that would have made it better. Thanks!

Graddy, M

Would not change a thing; I still cannot believe that there are people out there that take peoples anxiety serious enough to make them as comfortable as you made me feel yesterday. I know I was there but in a way it seems like a dream. I have never experienced what I felt there yesterday in other dentist office in my past. What I experienced was pure pleasure even with my anxiety. Thank you so much. I hope and pray when it comes time for my next visit. It will be the same experience. Thank god for people like all of you who care so much. Sherry fries

Dr. Hodgins is very knowledgeable and has top notch people working for him. I really am very nervous about coming but I know they care and they are very patient with me. I love Karen, his assistant who takes time to make sure I am comfortable and does a great job with x-rays, etc. All of his people have been very wonderful (from scheduling to the appt date) and understand my fear of dentist offices. Dr Hodgins is very personable and an excellent dentist, very thorough. I started last year with his office after not going to any dentist office for more than 20 years. I am continuing to see him. He is a keeper.

Smith, P

Both Fernanda and Jessica worked as a team and were very patient with me. Their combined efforts made it possible for them to complete my x-rays without severe gagging. In addition, the front desk girls had a welcoming smile, professional appearance and demeanor. Also, thank you Dr. Hodgins for your thorough explanations and answering my questions. Your excellent staff is essential to your successful practice.

Rodriguez, C

In September 2009 I decided to try another dentist that was closer to my home. I had two cleanings four months apart with my last one in August. I have since decided to return to The Dentist Studio because of the personal touch and all of my past experiences have been very positive.

I had a wonderful visit. The entire team was as friendly as can be and made me feel more comfortable than other appointments anywhere else.

DeJesus, S

Having previously been in the dental field myself, I can honestly say, without a doubt, the initial experience I had at your office was the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had. Every staff member was extremely kind, professional, and courteous. I love the bedside manner of Dr. Hodgins and really appreciated that he came in to introduce himself to me before even x-rays were began. I also felt very comfortable with him and appreciated that he took so much time to explain everything to me in detail and to go over all options with me. The office is spotless and is a wonderful, comfortable environment to be in. The technology used in the office is amazing. Even after just one visit, I fully trust Dr. Hodgins and his staff and I look forward to having him make my smile beautiful once again and also look forward to him doing the same for my husband. I will most certainly be referring friends, family, and acquaintances to this practice. Thanks again for everything!

Scott, A

It was nice to be asked if any medical conditions had changed such as new allergies, which I have developed and had forgotten. The dental assistant kindly switched from latex gloves. Thank you.

Jessica is wonderful - it was a pleasure speaking with her over the phone and then seeing her at the office once I arrived. Oscar was great and very knowledgeable about dental care; Very good experience.

I am sorry to say that I do not remember the dental assistant's name, but she is from Brazil. I had a very high anxiety level related to my past dental experiences and she was exceptional.

It was truly an amazing experience and one that I look forward to going back to. Teeth cleaning made pleasurable!!!

Compassionate professional service - Dr. Hodgins and his team are thorough, thoughtful and considerate. They took great care of me in an emergency. The Dentist's Studio is definitely one of the nicest health-related offices I've been in, with perks I didn't expect. No one loves going to the dentist, but if you have to be there, this is the place!

Smile-tastic! Dr. Hodgins and the staff of the Dentist's Studio are amazing! I've been a patient for about 7 years and their work has resulted in a great new smile for me which has greatly enhanced my life! The doctor and his staff are consummate professionals who go to great lengths to make sure patients are as comfortable as they can be, even through difficult procedures. I think the staff and services are simply smile-tastic!

Gary S

Fantastic! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Dr. Hodgkins always remembers me and makes me feel as if we just saw each other last week, even though it has been 6 months since my last visit. The hygienist's always explains everything to make sure I am comfortable with all they are about to do. Once comfortable in the chair, I was given a warm neck pillow and thought to myself..."am I at the spa or the dentist?" The Dentist Studio goes above and beyond to make their patients feel welcome, relaxed and well cared for. Great job everyone and THANK YOU!!

Michelle T

It was the best! Fast, very professional, friendly, and relaxing experience.

I have been coming to this office since they first opened. I receive excellent care and excellent customer service. I have been worked in promptly when I needed to be. Dr. Hodgins once called me on his day off when I was having a problem. As a nurse, I always pay attention to how clean an office is & this office great. Dr. Hodgins & his staff are warm, caring, and extremely professional. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

I had the most pleasant experience a person could have at a dentist office. Everyone was very professional and caring, which put me at ease. I almost turned around and walked back out the door, because I didn't think I could handle having a procedure done. The staff as well as Dr Hodgins assured me that everything would be fine. I stayed, and I'm glad I did because it wasn't at all as bad as I had anticipated. Thank you Dr Hodgins and your staff. GREAT JOB!

Judith B

I've been going to the Dentists Studio for several years now and it's always been a positive experience. I never liked going to the dentists before but the staff is so friendly and the professionalism of Dr. Hodgins is amazing.

James H

Terrified Patient Now Loves The Dentist!!! Thank you Dr. Hodgins, EriKa, Jess, Karen and especially Melanie for your hard work!!

Nervousness, anxiety and sheer terror doesn't begin to describe how I feel about going to the dentist. From the sound of the drills to the atmosphere the overall visit has NEVER been pleasant until I met Dr. Hodgins at the Dentists Studio. Karen offered me a warm neck wrap which instantly made me melt into the chair as she talked about the reason for my visit and quickly took my x-rays. Then the news came...I had bone loss due to excessive plaque rooted deep in my gums and it was going to take a lot of work to get it out. It wasn't the first time that I heard that but it was the way the message was delivered that made a difference. Melanie ROCKED! She is the best hygienist in the WORLD (and trust me I have been to a lot...even walked out on a few). Dr. Hodgins used nitrous sedation to relieve my anxiety, I was fitted with headphones to drown out the sound of the drill while I sat back and watched my favorite shows in what felt like a spa. Melanie removed 3 1/2 years worth plaque, puffy infected gums and a lot of junk out of my mouth. Now my gums are now on the road to recovery after Dr. Hodgins zapped them with a laser. No matter what you've been told or how you have been treated in the past the staff at the Dentists Studio gives you a new outlook about dental hygiene.

Every time that I walk into the Dentist Studio, I'm greeted with a smile. The entire staff and the Dr.H are fantasic. I appreciate that everyone takes a genuine concern for your well-being and providing the attention necessary. This place rocks!!!

Katiria N

The Dentists Studio is phenomenal. The staff is polite, professional, and courteous. The sedation dentistry option is excellent. I've always been extremely phobic of dentist, and ashamed of my teeth, but not any more. I had some cavities and needed a couple of root canals. The sedation was great. You go to sleep, and wake up all finished. The doctor is awesome. You don't feel like he is rushing to move on to the next patient when he is talking with you. He explains everything, and answers all of your questions. The rest of the staff is great too.
