Seriously, do not take your children here. Dr. Haffner was rude and inpatient with us each time we saw her. She told my very anxious 6 year old to hurry up and get in the chair because she had a schedule to keep the very first time she saw us. The office manager is also very rude and uninformative. Everything about our experience with Dr. Haffner's office felt unwelcoming, cold, and deceptive. Not to mention my son now has unnaturally white crowns on two of his front teeth. This is a person who has no business working with children!

I haven't been to the dentist in quite some time so when I went into Dr. Haffners office I was very nervous. The staff were very welcoming! They made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Christy herself was amazing! Super helpful and friendly. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly. I couldn't have had a better experience in a dentist office and highly recommend going here! :

I actually drove an hour to go to this dentist. My daughter (6) had a wonderful experience. She loves the office, of course. The staff were also incredibly wonderful and kind. My daughter had bottom two front teeth that had come in needed more room and were going crooked, so a baby tooth extraction was even on the list. We had a prior bad experience at another dentist (full on screaming during because she said she could feel everything, freakouts for days afterwards, nightmares etc) and so I was extremely nervous about taking her back to a dentist especially with the work needed.
However Dr Haffner and her staff listened to my concerns and took extra time to settle my nerves and keep my daughter upbeat. It went quickly, and my daughter came out totally happy and normal. It was such a relief and means so much to me. I honestly cannot express how happy I was with our treatment, both the dentistry and as people.

A great dentist with great staff. My child is not the easiest to deal with when it comes to his fear of goinf to the dentist but they have managed to do the best job of getting his teeth taken care of and very patient with him and understanding. The dental office is wonderfully decorated as well for the kids to enjoy and there are video games for them to play and cartoon movies playing for their entertainment while they wait to be seen. I've been bringing my child here since he was 3 years old and will continue to so so until he is all grown up.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Christy Haffner and her staff. My kids and I love her! My children started with Dr. Haffner when they were 2 yrs old, they are now 16 and 18. She makes my children feel comfortable and they actually enjoy going to the dentist. My daughter has been afraid of Doctors her whole life, but loves Dr. Haffner which is a huge relief. I recommend all my friends who have children to come see Dr. Haffner. I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else!
