Hodgins Zachary W Dmd PA

I'm almost 60 and growing up, going to the dentist was the absolute worst! The ones I went to were from the Dr. Christian Szell and Orin Scrivello D.D.S. school of dentistry. After many years of not going to the dentist, I took a chance and went to see Dr. Hodgins. My blood pressure was near red lining and I was nervous as hell. But Dr Hodgins and his staff displayed as much empathy and compassion as they did professionalism and thoroughness. Now, after years of going to the Dentist Studio let me say this: I love going to the dentist!

In fact, I look forward to it. This last visit was a great example. My X-Rays, gum check, and cleaning were handled with such expert care from Katelyn! Every step in the check up was handled like a precision operation; which everyone in that office performs with proficiency, kindness, empathy, and attention to detail.

Never like going to any Dentist BUT when you have a problem with your teeth it is nice to go to a Dentist who takes the time and does a great job. Thank you guys for making my last visit as painless as possible You did a great job.

Dr. Hodgins and his staff are amazing. They always take excellent care of me and go the extra mile to get me seen when I needed help last minute. Best dentist there is. I'll never go anywhere else.

I'm very nervous about going to the dentist and always dread my visits, but today, my experience was completely different. Brittany went above and beyond to get me scheduled at the last minute due to my insurance changing. All of the staff I met were so courteous and friendly and really put me at ease. I was very comfortable. Dr. Hodgins was so very nice and addressed and explained everything. I have to schedule a couple of treatments and feel confident and comfortable returning to the practice. An overall, very positive and pleasant experience.

Very professional front office staff. I love my dental hygienist, Rachel and Dr. Zachary Hodgins is great. They took care of all my needs and made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Dr. Hodgins and his office staff have provided me with the best dental experience. They always remember you and greet you by your first name. I was experiencing tooth pain and left a message for the office on their day off, I received a call from Doc within a few hours to address my concerns. The most impressive thing they do (besides providing heated beck pillows) is not only explain the X-rays to you but take images of your teeth with a tiny camera and SHOW you your cavities. I recommend this dentist to everyone!

I've been seeing Dr Hodgins and his incredible team at The Dentist's Studio for several years now. From their expert knowledge to the comfort I feel under their care, there is no better dental team in central Florida. If you're new to the area or thinking to switch dentists, you'll feel trust in the chairs here as Dr Hodgins office. There's no shortage of competence in his team as he and his assistant Dawn have set the highest standards for the rest to follow. I really could keep going here, telling you how impressed I am with the results I've been seeing, but you owe it to your smile to check them out yourself. :

Absolutely horrible. I felt like cattle being pushed through, but I thought that was what was normal. There was never a plan, even though I asked multiple times. Just in and out and give me your money. It literally scared me off dentists for 2 years. I recently found a new one who actually seems to care about their patients. I'm receiving fantastic service and feel taken care of and important.

I would never recommend this place to anyone. They couldn't care less about you, and they will forget about you the day after you leave. This is just a factory for some guy to make a bunch of money. Stay far away from this one.

Christina was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable with getting my cleaning and x-rays done! Dr. Hodgins took the time to listen to my concerns and what the end goal I wanted out of my visit! He was friendly and had calming presence, which was great for my dental anxiety! Highly recommend!

I was referred to the Dentist's Studio by a co-worker due to my long-term dentist being closed due to the pandemic. The staff have been courteous and professional during all of my interactions during new patient registration, scheduling, Covid protocols, and care of my teeth. In these days, I find it rare to find a service provider that treats you as a valued customer and not just a number. Furthermore, the dental hygienist (Rachel and Katelyn) were both knowledgeable, efficient, and dedicated to ensuring that their work was top quality, while ensuring that the time spent in their care was pain free and as pleasant as a possible. I would highly recommend giving this dental practice your business, if you find yourself in need of quality dental care.

Our family has been going here for our dental needs since we moved to the area and are so happy we found Dr. Hodgins and his wonderful staff. The office is clean, friendly and well run. Dr. Hodgins is a super dentist. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Hodgins and his staff at The Dentist's Studio are always so personable and welcoming, going out of their way to make their patients feel comfortable and relaxed. I've been going to his office for more than a decade and it is by far the best experience I've had at any dentist. I can't recommend them enough.

After having the same dentist for the last 8 years, I was hesitant to search for a new one due to employment location. I had my first appointment this morning, nervous despite having "just" a cleaning and x rays. I was welcomed with open arms by the receptionist, in fact the entire team was extremely friendly, which doesn't typically happen when walking into an appointment.

My assistant Dawn was phenomenal, we discussed my concerns and she was gentle and low key. The doctor is super friendly and didn't make a big deal about the problems I want to fix. The hygienist did a cleaning and was very careful. The room has a tv, radio, warm neck pillows and water are given to ease your nerves. I loved the office so much, I'm already signed up to follow the personalized treatment plan. I highly suggest checking this fantastic group out, especially for one that fears the dentist, like myself.

The Dentist studio is a delight. I'm happy my search for a dentist ended with Dr. Hodgins and his staff. I have been going to the dentist studio for 2 years now. They sincerely care about your needs and comfort. They are direct and transparent with you. I am such a scarycat when it comes to seeing a dentist's overall and I cannot express enough how this office puts me at ease. Thank you!

I think the 1 star people here have it right. he is an axehole. his assistant, not the front desk people but rather his assistant says there is a 3 o'clock with enough time for an extraction today. he ends up picking up the phone himself(hodgins) and grilling me on why i'm bothering them about my extremely painful tooth that another dentist said it need to be extracted. in an axehole tone, he wanted the exact spelling of my name and other things the assistant could get. i finally said nicely, sir, do you have time for an extraction at 3, i am in tremendous pain? not for you! i was nothing but nice to them. btw;their website says "emergency patients served" is not true. the manager goes on about the semantics of that. "we are not a walk in". it says "just come in" on the website and my pain didn't get me better than an appointment 2 weeks later

Dr. Hodgins and his staff will make you comfortable and keep you well informed. I am careful who I trust with my teeth and I feel well cared for here!

By far the best dental experience that I've ever had in my life, the staff was courteous and kind and so is the doctor. The X-ray tech made fell at ease while offering me music or tv as she completed her examination. The hygienist was very thorough and explain every step as she conducted her cleaning and examination. If you are afraid of the dentist, I highly recommended The Dentist Studio they will change any negetive views you may have. It doesn't get much better than this!

I was referred to Dr. Hodgins by a close friend and her recommendation did not disappoint. The staff is friendly, the office is clean, my dental hygienist Melissa, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Dr. Hodgins is personable and explained my treatment plan in a very basic and elementary fashion, which was helpful for me to understand.

The only reason I am not giving it the full 5 stars is because of time spent troubleshooting the technology, and how long my appointment took overall. I had a 3pm appt for a yearly exam/cleaning, and I was done by 540pm. I've never had a dental appointment take so long. Some of the delay was due to the technology. My hygienist needed assistance in working the first Xray, a large panoramic xray machine (that my insurance didn't cover, but apparently was medically necessary), and the camera to take pictures inside my mouth stopped working, which led her to have to unplug and replug, restart the camera.

It was a bit frustrating for us both, for different reason. Overall, I had a great experience at the dentist (who even says that?) and will be returning to finish my treatment plan. Tip: Block off a few hours! I had to be somewhere at 6pm and did not expect to still be treated at 530pm.

Love Dr. Hodgins. Very kind, gentle, professional. My hygienist is great too! She makes me feel comfortable since I have high anxiety going to the dentist office.

This place will rob you blind and the girls at the front are incompetent. You will cancel appointments and they will still text you like crazy. Call you like crazy and this is not a one time mistake. You will hear them talk about customers like saying omg that's a lot of crowns. Now the Dr puts money/more patients in place of quality work. Here you go here's your sandpaper gritty fillings.

That never smooth. Also when you have a problem expect the DR to all of a sudden treat you different. Very overpriced and I kept seeing people come in with billing mistakes. They were charged too much.

I'm one of those people who are afraid of the dentist. I go every 6 months because I know it's important. But I go kicking and screaming. I have sensitive teeth and a bad gag reflex. So, X-rays are a nightmare and that high pressure electric water thing should be classified as a torture device! Anyway, I found this office thanks to Yelp and really liked that they specialize in crazy people like me! Well, it exceeded my expectations!

The staff were amazing! They made me feel at ease and were very patient! This has been, by far, the best experience I have ever had. I didn't even need the nitrous, which I had originally requested. The office itself is clean and I love that they give you a tour. They have neck pillows and TVs in the rooms which were a nice touch. Also, they have Saturday hours which is really convenient. Highly recommend!

Yelp squad gets it right, again. I was in the market for a new dentist and solicited recommendations from coworkers, which helped me narrow it down to two. The Dentist's Studio had positive reviews from several of my Yelp friends so I gave them a call, spoke with them about their office and made an appointment. My hygienist was great - I told her my main reason for looking for a new dentist was a bad experience with a substitute hygienist at my previous dentist and why that experience had been so abysmal.

She did my x-rays and before my cleaning used a video device to show me the backs of my teeth so I could see where tartar accumulates and where I've been brushing too hard, then went over my brushing and flossing technique after my cleaning to confirm what I was doing incorrectly and show me the appropriate technique. I found Dr. Hodgins to be very knowledgable as well.

I have been going to see Dr. Hodgins at the dentist studio for at least 8 years. His office is very modern and doesn't have the normal dentist smell and feel. To help make you more comfortable they have neck pillows (which can be scented), noise cancelling headphone, tv's at each station, etc. Dawn is, like, 2nd in command there and she is awesome.

I lo-lo-love her! I'm glad whenever I get her! She and Karen have both been there forever and are both wonderful! The front desk help was great years ago (Erika, the doctors sister or sister-in-law) and then it took a dive for a while. There were a few teenieboppers who were very rude and talked badly about patients (funnily enough the patient they were bad mouthing was my mother and they had no idea until I put them back in their place).

The past few times there have been two other young ladies who were both very nice and helpful. I've referred my entire family and several friends to Dr. H and all have been very happy.

After my last appointment, I'm not going back. There seems to be a lot of turnover in this office. I've never had the same hygienist twice. It's something I noticed the longer I went, but now it makes sense. I went in to have a few fillings. The doctor was incredibly rude the the assistant. I didn't want the thing that hinges one's jaws open, because ouch.

When the doc came in, he couldn't help himself and yelled at the assistant to "always put one in". He got after her a few other times, for things that weren't even that clear to me, and even made her go into the hallway so he could reprimand her. The assistant was so sweet and just wanted to do a good job. Even if she was just out of school, it's ok - everyone has to learn.

But he's SO MEAN. That's not the end of it. I sat in that chair for nearly 3 hours to get two fillings. That's a long time to have my mouth wide open! I was in so much pain when I left (jaw, not teeth) I had to lie down and take OTC pain relievers. It took so long because he'd leave for 20-30 minutes at a time to work on other patients. I'm so disenchanted and disappointed in my experience that I'm not even attending my second cleaning this year. I'll forego the visit and go somewhere else or wait until the new calendar year, because I don't even want to call to ask for my latest X-rays. :(

Be careful when Dr. Hodges says, it will be covered under your insurance, because for me it's been 13 months and too many calls and I yet to have claim processed due to his office staff not filling out forms correctly. BTW, today I received a email from a Health care Advocate my company has hired to get our money. In the email it clearly states the Service Provider didn't provide correct information.

I sent this email to Hodges and we spoke on the phone; his response was (as he chuckled) I run a very busy practice, I don't know everything that goes on. Well Dr. Hodges, caring for people should always be number one!

Had a crown done. the experience was not the best. I was not explained up front that I would be under regular anesthesia, which doesn't work for me - something which I mentioned countless times to this dentist. He numbed my mouth up so much that I lost sensation all the way up to my nose. but still felt the work he was doing on my tooth -HORRIBLE!

After a lot of trouble and jerking my head whenever the dentist tried doing the grinding down, I had to reschedule so I had to be put under to complete the work - and it was an additional charge which if I'd known about in the beginning would have made me return to my previous dentist who did an awesome job. Days later when the crown was being put in, the assistant just couldn't get the bite correct no matter how often she ground down the crown. I finally went some time later to my previous dentist and am never going back to this establishment.

I HATE going to the dentist. In fact I had managed avoiding dentists for a very long time. It wasn't until I thought there was something wrong with one of my teeth that I finally decided to make an appointment at the Dentist's Studio. There were so many glowing reviews, which seemed crazy to me because i doubted anyone could make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. Well, I wouldn't say that I look forward to going to the dentist, but at least I don't dread it now.

The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The office itself is very clean and modern looking. I felt pretty comfortable during both appointments, which is no small feat for me. Plus, since I mentioned Yelp when making my appointment, my new patient exam and x-rays were free!
