"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
