Harold R Hanefield, DDS

Dr. Hanefield and his staff are kind, friendly people. The work he does is perfect. My only issue is that the last two times I went there, I was in the chair FOREVER. This has never happened before, and I have been going there a long time. Perhaps his appointments are not being scheduled correctly. .. perhaps he’s a bit too chatty with others. I will try one more time, but I will have to leave if this is a new thing.

Already loved this place, good location, great staff, free parking in the garage, which is always great downtown. But had to write this review today. My temporary crown came out Friday night, the day before Valentine’s, and a three-​day weekend. Dr. Hanefield provides his cell for emergencies, so I called and left a message. He got back to me on Valentine’s, apologized that he couldn’t see me Saturday, as he was in the Bay with his wife. On Sunday, he came in and got me all fixed up. Amazing! I figured I might be squeezed in Tuesday, but he made a special trip in to the office to take care of me immediately.

Our family has been going to Dr. Hanefield for years. We were patients with his former dental Partner, Dr. M. Miyasaki, when Dr. M. moved from the area, we decided to give Dr. Hanefield a try. I am TERRIFIED of dentists, I have to have sedation if I have to have ANY work done at all!
Dr. Hal and Lisa are the BEST team, and the entire staff is professional, courteous, and very friendly. I have recommended these folks to friends. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone at all.
Our grandson had his first dental visit with Trina, Dr. Hal and Lisa, and he was VERY excited to tell us all about it — no fear at all! So now we are 3 generations who see Dr. Hal!

Love coming here!.. Been a patient since around 2006. Dr. Hanefield & his assistant are the best and always make the experience very personal. They always remember who you are and your kids names cant find a place like this any where else!.. My insurance changed and now i have to go somewhere else, but decided to just pay cash to stay here. I’ve referred a ton of people & employees to Dr. Hanefield and I have never heard one bad experience from going here!

Everyone hates going to the dentist, and I’m at the top of this list.
Dr. Hanefield and his staff go out of their way to make even the most rabid anti-​dentite feel welcome and at ease.
Free nitrous for those who white-​knuckle every procedure (yup, that’s me).
Very thorough oral exam, including checking gums, tongue and entire oral cavity for lesions, and checking lymph nodes under jaw and in neck. (for someone who’s worked in health care for 20 years, this impressed the heck out of me)
Painless cleaning (with the use of a topical anesthetic) was done and very well explained during the procedure.
Danielle at the front desk went over my treatment plan, scheduled follow up appointments and carefully explained my insurance benefits and out of pocket costs.
I’m almost looking forward to my next appointment :-)

I have been going to Dr. Hanefield for about 14 years. From day one, Dr. Hanefield and his staff have taken great care of my teeth and me. I used to hate the way my smile looked. Dr. Hanefield has transformed my teeth and I LOVE my smile now.
His work is impeccable and he regularly goes above and beyond what I would expect from a dentist. But today was a day I won’t soon forget because Dr. Hanefield went above and beyond what I would expect from my own family!
I had a dental emergency today (Saturday) and without a fix, I wouldn’t be able to leave the house all weekend. I called Dr. Hanefield in a panic, thinking I would need to wait until Monday to get squeezed in for an emergency appointment before work. Nope. Dr. Hanefield met me at his office an hour later. And two hours later I was good as new.
I know that I lucked out because Dr. Hanefield was in town and that may not always be the case on the weekends. But I saw first-​hand how much Dr. Hanefield cares about his patients. If Dr. Hanefield can fix a situation for his patients, he will.

I have only been a patient for 6 months but after having my teeth cleaned twice and a filling replaced, I am confident with giving this dentist and staff the best rating. They were professional and friendly. Dr. Hanefield is fast and efficient but very thoughtful. I did not even feel a thing while he gave me a numbing shot or during the procedure. He even offered to give me a shot to expedite the elimination of the anesthesia. I didn’t even know that was possible. Location is very convenient and of course they validate parking at the Hyatt. More importantly, they open at 7 AM which allows me to minimize the amount of time I am out of the office. I higly recommend this dentist.

Can’t imagine a better practice (haven’t gotten my bill yet, but that’s insurance).
Convenient location, validated parking, very clean office, waiting room with newspaper, mags and good but non-​intrusive music.
Check-​in was a breeze and the staff friendly. Trina, my hygienist, was personable, professional and very gently with my sensitive gums. She cleaned me up great!
Dr. Hanefield was also a very nice guy. He was easy to talk to and asked all the right questions. He examined me thoroughly and I felt well taken care of. The consultation was great, he recommended a few things if I felt they were needed, but was just being informative. I’d trust him to do any fillings or what-​not. I really liked him and will definitely be back.

Never occurred to me that folks would Unilocal their dentists, but I feel like I should give a shout out to Dr. Hanefield.
Reviewing a dentist is a little harder than reviewing a restaurant. I’ve probably only had eight dentists in my life, but I probably visit that many restaurants in a month, so it makes it kind of hard to compare.
But here’s what I like about Dr. Hanefield… first, he seems to really care about my teeth; I’ve been to other dentists who treated their professions like jobs to make money; Hanefield treats being a dentist like an avocation, he’s obviously very passionate about what he does.
Second, he seems like a really good dentist. I don’t have problems with the work he does, and my teeth look and feel great. He’s obviously got a lot of experience, and it shows in the quality of work that he does.

I have been going to Dr. Hanefield for over 10 years now. I started going on a recommendation from a friend — and he was very convenient as he is located directly across from the Capitol. Dr. Hanefield and his staff are incredibly thorough and professional. They helped me when I started to develop gingivitis, and my gums are disease free. I go in for quarterly cleanings, and am happy to pay one of my cleanings out of pocket just to keep a healthy mouth (and thanks to teeth crowding, I really do need to go in quarterly. I love Dr. Hanefield and his staff, and have recommended him to many friends (who are equally happy with their services).
