Family Dentistry At Hawks Prairie

I have been bring my family here for almost 6 years. And always recommend to my friends in the area. There are TVs to watch while you’re having any procedures, warm blankets. It’s always a calm and easy visit.
There are two moments that made me realize that this was going to be their Forever dentist.
1– my oldest (4 or 5 at the time) needed to have a filling. He became completely terrified before he got the shot and was not going to let this filling happen easily. Dr O’leary realized that continuing to try could make this a traumatic experience for him and referred us to a doctor who could sedated him for the procedure.
2– my youngest now 6 needed a filling. She was able to use distracting techniques to give him the numbing shot but once he was numb (a first for him) he freaked out. She was calm with him and did a couple tests to see if he could feel anything. He couldn’t and she patiently worked through calming him down to complete the procedure and celebrated that it was done.
The kids always leave with little prizes and the kids cave is a favorite for my boys (6 & 10)

Another really great morning appointment with Dr. O’Leary and her fabulous staff! I love getting the 7:00 AM appointments… It gives my kiddo time to play in the toy cave and marvel over the tropical fish (Nemo and Dory live there). I was surprised to learn that my hygienist of three years is gone! But! I had a really awesome gal this morning that was so gentle I could’ve fallen asleep.
What is really amazing is Dr. O’Leary is so in tune with her patients. She really surprised me when she recalled the first time my daughter got her teeth cleaned there, right down to which room she was in to the hygienist that cleaned her teeth. That was almost four years ago! She definitely knows and cares about her patients and it shows in every aspect of her practice!

We still love Dr O’Leary! We just had another cleaning this morning. My son love going to get his teeth cleaned when it’s at her office! No cavities again! He also loves to hide in the «cave» when he’s done while he’s waiting on me, because who doesn’t love a cave behind a fish tank?
I love that every time we visit we feel like family. This isn’t a huge practice with multiple dentists, hygienists, and technicians. This is a practice with one Dr. and a couple hygienists with a few techs thrown in. You’ll almost always see the same people every time you visit, and I love that!
Dr. O’Leary is also always giving back to the community in some way, which is fantastic! Not just around the holidays, but all year long. Either it’s sending things to troops overseas or collecting food for the food bank or donations for the homeless.
We basically love all of the staff and Dr. O’Leary, and we are so glad that we found her practice when we moved here back in 2012! I highly recommend her to everyone!!!

18 months later, still going here and still loving it! I have recommended several people here and every single one texts me to thank me! Not too common when recommending a denist!

I love the staff here at Hawks Prairie Family Dentistry. Within the last year, I moved to Tacoma and tried to find another dentist office that provided top notch customer service, heated blankets, neck and leg pillows and a personal tv. I wasn’t able to find that and have decided to take my PTO and use it to commute to Lacey. Dr O’Leary and her staff are worth it. I no longer hate going to the dentist. It feels like I’m going to spend time with friends which is something I never imagined myself saying about a dental office.

New in town and I seem to have found a gem here. Quick, efficient, comfortable. Nice staff and Dr O’leary is as nice and personable as they come. I won’t go so far as to say I look forward to dentist appointments now, but at least I won’t dread them!

Dr. O’Leary was recommended to me by a co-​worker when I moved up here to Washington state. I had been with the same dentist for over 15 years, so I was a bit hesitant to start up with someone new. However, within the first few minutes of my first appointment in her office, I was at complete ease. I have felt that her and her staff are very thorough and make the process as enjoyable as possible. I unfortunately was dealt a bad hand when it came to teeth, so I know that my teeth are going to need a little more work then the average bear. Dr. O’Leary provides the best care possible while keeping me comfortable. I have had a handful of fillings done/​replaced and this has been the least amount of pain from start to finish that I have ever experienced. I also enjoy the warm blankets on the chilly morning appointments, the TV on to take your mind off of the drilling, and how friendly everyone is. I definitely recommend this office to anyone who is looking for an amazing dentist.

Nothing but great things to say about this practice! The staff is all friendly, the office is clean and relaxing, and they’re great with small children-​both being examined and waiting for mom :)

I have taken my wife here twice now. Its very close to our home so it was handy, but after the great service and care she has got I’m about to change dentist myself. Doctor O’Leary is very good about making you feel comfortable and explaining everything so well. I will hold out on that last star until I experience sitting in the chair first hand.

the whole experience was ruined right off the bat because of the receptionist Jeanie, her attitude was very rude, and made me feel like I was a little kid being scolded by the teacher.
This is not how people like being treated, especially when going through something that causes fear and anxiety.
