"Best experience I ever had with a filling! Fast and painless! Highly recommended"

— Patient, Altoona Family Dentistry

"I switched dentist recently to find out that the pain was coming from a tooth he fixed and it still had an instrument in it. Unfortunately, I had to have the tooth pulled."

— Patient, Dr. Eduardo Marquez

"I love Dr. Hovan, he is always gentle, kind and caring... Until his wife came along and started working in the office, she is the rudest person I have ever met... I would not recommend anyone to this practice as long as she is running Dr. Hovan's practice for him."

— Patient, Dr. Edward P. Hovan
