     Here at our office, Dr. Hopkin will walk you through every option and procedure in a way that you can understand, helping you to make informed decisions about your health care.  Whether you are an adult, teen or child, Dr. Hopkin caters his approach in order to best relate to any patient.  When patients understand their condition, and have their questions sufficiently answered, their treatment experiences are much smoother!  Even parents are surprised to find that their once frightened children will relax and trust Dr. Hopkin to provide the care they need as he relates to them on their level.  Anxiety decreases, questions are answered and concerns are addressed. 

What to expect with Dr. Dustin Hopkin

     When any patient is told that they need to see an oral surgeon, there's always a bit of stress that hits.  There are concerns with pain, questions with cost, and anxiety about treatment, just to name a few.  In fact, dental anxiety effects an estimated 30-40 million Americans, causing them to avoid even seeing the dentist!  This may be why so many reluctant patients are pleasantly surprised when they come to our office for treatment!

     Your first impression will come from the inviting and warm atmosphere of the office, with our comfortable reception area and a friendly greeting from Stephanie or Maggie.  Maggie is our bubbly receptionist who tricks people into thinking she's from the South as she charms them with her down-to-earth Southern hospitality, referring to them as "Honey" or "Sweetie".

     Next, you'll be invited into the back where you'll meet one or more of our amazing surgical assistants, Renae, Kenzie or Nikki.  In addition to the fact that they are exceptionally well trained, they are also kind, cute and perceptive, working to anticipate your every need and keep you comfortable. It's about  this point when you'll start realizing your choice to come to Dr. Hopkin's office was a good one.

     If you haven't already done so on the way in, you'll see Dr. Hopkin approach you with his hand outstretched, ready to introduce himself and get to know you.  Like most patients, you may be a bit surprised when you meet him.

     First of all, you may notice that he is rather young-looking.  Not in a "Doogie Howser" way, but in a fresh, current, and energetic way.  We tease him enough that he wears glasses and grows a 3-day beard to give him a more mature look.  Regardless of his appearance,  it only takes a minute before you will feel as though you have always known him.  The treatment he renders is very sophisticated and intricate, contrary to his easy-going, talkative personality.  Dr. Hopkin sincerely enjoys his patients, treating them more like friends.  You won't feel like just a number, or as though you are being shuttled in and out.  As your appointment ends, you will feel well-informed about your care, comfortable with your new friends at our office and confident the you made the BEST choice!
