Dr Fred M Hilburn, II

"Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever encountered. Highly recommend. Very professional and down to earth. Wonderful bed side manor."

"My husband had 2 teeth pulled...said best dentist he had ever been to...Thanks"

"He's the best. Have been going to him for years. He knows how to give a shot without inflicting pain ( huge plus), very friendly, thorough and his staff is wonderful."

"I have had an uncomfortable experience in Dr. Hilburn's office. The second day of visiting his office for an implant, I noticed some of the tools he was supposed to use in my mouth were not clean. I politely mentioned that to one of the ladies working there, since I didn't want to make him feel bad. It seems that Dr. Hilburn didn't like to hear that from a patient (me), for he was dry/cold with me from that moment on! (Not that he was the nicest guy before that either!). After those first visits, I have been in his office a few more times. Every time he was uncommunicative and seemed annoyed. Since I always give people the benefit of the doubt (maybe he had a bad day that day?), I didn't take it personally and kept being visited by him. Yesterday, I had an appointment for a filling. But also he checked the bite of the implant I had done there a while ago. I had never heard of a dentist polishing a tooth regularly in order to 'adjust' whatever it is he needed to adjust. But I respected his decision, since he is the professional. Given my curiosity and desire to learn, I asked him why it was necessary to do so. And instead of explaining it to me in a polite way. He pretty much snapped at me with a short explanation of someone that wants to make someone feel like an idiot. NOt cool. I think Dr. Hilburn is a good dentist, but definitely not the best. As a patient, I have always felt rushed while being visited. He does things quickly because he is dealing with other patients simultaneously, or needs to rush to the next! And P.S.: My parents, in-laws and other people I know have never heard of polishing implants... In short, maybe Dr. Hilburn is too arrogant and feels bedside manners aren't important. But for most people that is a sign of the quality of the person and professional you are. I wish him luck and hope his business goes well. He is definitely not going to see me around again!"
