Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

In a word: superb
My dentist referred me to Dr. Hempton when I needed periodontal help, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Hempton is highly skilled, professional and very sensitive to the patient. I especially appreciate his careful explanations and the way he makes himself accessible when needed. Best of all, he is painless! Let me also mention the excellence of his reception staff; Judy is so welcoming and so friendly both in person and on the phone.

I was recently referred to Dr Hempton and am so appreciative to be a Patient in this office. Dr Hempton is an excellent Periodontist- he is a Clinical and also Academic Provider. He explains what he will be doing and educates about your specific issues making you feel comfortable and at ease. Judy in the front office is welcoming and informative both in person and on the phone. She is a valuable member of this team. I would highly recommend this office to friends and colleagues.

I just a difficult tooth that needed to be removed and dr Hempton was so gentle and mindful of my comfort. In addition he took out a brittle, old, beat up tooth in one piece! I felt so grateful:)

I have been seeing Dr. Hempton for over 15 years. When I first came my gums were in horrible condition from years of smoking and of being afraid to see a dentist. Dr. Hempton's gentle approach and calm manner helped me to get over my fear of having dental work done and today my gums are doing fine! I would recommend him highly especially to anyone with fear of having dental work done! Just love everyone in his practice! Always so accommodating.

I first visited Dr Hempton's office after reading all of the positive patient comments online. Let me add another. In addition to his stellar credentials, Dr Hempton and his staff are friendly, courteous and professional. Dr Hempton respectfully explained each step of the procedure I was having, was willing to give me rest breaks, and gave me a painless shot of Lidocaine. I would recommend Dr Hempton to anyone who has to see a Periodontist.

I was referred to Dr. Hempton for a gum graft procedure and my experience was great. He was very gentle during the procedure and I had only minor discomfort the next day. I would highly recommend Dr. Hempton!

My experience with Dr Hempton was terrific. I had a deep scaling procedure . He was so gentle. I was very surprised to not have any pain at all during or after he had finished. I highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hampton for over 20 years, and would highly recommend him to family and friends. In my opinion he is top in his field and a perfectionist. Dr. Hempton listens and is very sympathetic to your particular complain, he is considerate to make the patients are comfortable and the procedure is as painless as possible. I think it takes someone very gentle to be a periodontist and Dr. Hempton is that person. You can't ask for anyone better!

I have been going to Dr. Tim for over 20 years. He is the most professional, honest and gentle doctor I have ever encountered. He is a man of integrity who treats all his patients with respect and compassion. My first implant of over 20 years ago has worked out great, now I am in the process of getting another one as I lost a second tooth. I have recommended Dr. Tim to several friends and relatives, they all agree that he is a great Doctor and have thanked me for recommending him! Robert J. Bevilacqua

I have been a patient of Dr. Hempton for 20+ years and there is no other dentist I would trust to work on my teeth. I can't say enough good things about his work and his work ethics. He is consciensous and a perfectionist, he is caring, and very gentle. My dental health has never been better since I have been a patient of Dr. Hempton. He always followes up with a phone call whenever surgery was necessary to make sure I was doing fine, after I got home and the anasthesia has worn off. Any proceedure he has done on my gums/teeth has almost pain free, thanks to his gentle manner. He's the best! His office staff is very friendly and accomodating. I have recomended Dr. Hempton to friends who have asked me about a dentist/peiodontist without reservations. I have recieved positive feedback each time.

I had a difficult extraction and implant completed by Dr. Hempton. I was pleasantly surprised by the pain-free performance of all areas of his care, but especially the extraction. Also his extremely conservative approach to the implant process, I appreciate, since I have experienced many dental procedures with mixed results. Dr. Tim takes a methodical approach that takes time, but is well worth the end result and he communicated clearly with me over a couple of months, without over promising.

I've suffered immensely with an oral issue for years, and had very little hope of a solution. Dr Hempton accepted me on short notice, and was able to finally give me hope for a cure to relieve my pain, as he diagnosed issues which others had NOT noted" or considered. He has me on a path to an appropriate professional in which the root of the problem will be treated by a trusted colleague. A fabulous Dentist with intelligence, integrity and professionalism. Thank you Dr Hempton! 2nd to none.
