“Amazing dental practice!”
Dr. Higgins and Mandi (hygenist) worked with me as I was passing through town. They saw me on VERY short notice and were able to put together both a short and long term treatment plan. Dr. Higgins was very understanding of my situation and I learned SO much from Mandi. A month later, I'm seeing massive improvement. Cannot recommend them enough!

“Wonderful visit!”
I had a great visit with Dr. Higgins and my hygienist Mandi. It was my first time here and they made it a very pleasant experience. Mandi was super thorough with my cleaning and I loved her recommendations and how she explained everything. Dr. Higgins seems like such a nice guy and like he genuinely cares for his patients. Unfortunately I will be seeing more of them because I need some work done ;) but if I have to get dental work done, I'm glad it's with them!

“Awesome experience from making the appointment to leaving the office!”
Dr.Higgins & staff are very professional,compassionate,caring & thorough.I felt no pain even though I had a "DEEP Cleaning" by Mandy & all My questions & concerns were addressed with appropriate time spent on each of them. I never felt rushed or pressured to pay for aesthetics or other items on a treatment plan. I highly recommend Ocean View Dental Care without reservation.

“Kathleen is amazing!!”
I was scheduled for a partial descaling, but during the appointment, I mentioned I wasn't able to follow-up due to travel plans. Kathleen took this into consideration and did a full-mouth treatment under half the time of a normal appointment. I'm so happy that she considered my plans and was able to pivot and provide the best care on-the-fly!

“Love this office!”
Had a great first visit with Dr. Higgins and his assistants. My first impression was very good, and I am planning to bring my other family members here. I also like their Membership Plan option, since I don't have insurance, which makes my treatment more affordable.

“Great service”
My first time going to the dentist in 8 years - they were friendly and didn't push anything on me. Everyone was very nice and happy and Dr. Higgins was a great guy. They have a membership plan since I don't have insurance that will work for me and my family. Glad I found this place!
