Hector Ricardo DDS

I use to go to Dr Hector when he was in Layhill. Great sense of humor and great vibes entering the office. Always made me and my mom feel at home. Felt like I was seeing an uncle , he’d ask how I was doing , take care of my teeth and I’d watch television. I never felt pain at all going to see him through the years. And he never acted cheap making false lies about cavities or things of that nature to get money. Honest guy, and me and my mother miss him so DEARLY 😭😭

I met with Dr. Hector not knowing​ what to expect just because my experience with dentist have been horrible in the past. But I have to say he was phenomenal he listened to everything I had to say and treated me properly. I had to have 2 extractions and I must say he made it as painless as possible and was VERY compassionate​. I plan on returning for ALL future dental work. Also I must add that ALL OF HIS STAFF ARE AMAZING. 👍👍👍

Worst pediatric dental experience ever! I brought my 2 year old in for his first dental visit. He repeatedly told my son that he was "so emotional," my response was "He's 2 years old!" "Oh, mommy is taking up for you," he says. As an "experienced dentist" he should have had a far better response for seeing a 2 year old at his very first visit to the dentist. We were referred to a dentist by our pediatrician because my son's primary front teeth came in misshaped. Dr. Ricardo tells us my son's teeth are a sure sign of an infection during pregnancy. I respond, "Oh well I didn't have any infections when I was pregnant with him, wouldn't it be something they detected?" "Yes," he says, "but I can't think of the name of it, I'd have to look it up in a book." As he rushes through the exam he continuously fails to inform me of what he is doing to my son's teeth and tells him, A 2 YEAR OLD, he's "so emotional." After he informs us that we must come back for sealants or fillings (I'm not sure of which one, due to the haste of the overall appointment), he tells us the appointment is complete and leaves fluoride all over my son's mouth. He sees me go to the sink to wipe it off and says "Oh yeah, I forgot to wipe it off," then quickly ushers us to the check-out area to make an appointment for the filings. Mind you, he never told me the name of this "mystery infection" that my son's teeth so surely indicated. I ended up having to ask the receptionist what treatments took place during the appointment and what he suggested moving forward. The entire appointment was a messy blur! Dr. Ricardo was unprofessional and behaved as an inexperienced pediatric dentist. While he may be better caring for adults, we will NEVER visit his practice again. Beware!

Dr.Hector is the BEST dentist! Even though it's been about a year since I've been to Dr. Hector's office, I had ALOT of work done with him and he knows what hes doing... And he never has hurt when dealing with my teeth and as for needles.... He never makes a mistake... Considering I've gone to a dentist since I was a child, he is the only dentist that has never messed up on numbing me, he never hit it wrong or anything... He literally pulled 7 teeth all at once and the same day I was able to eat, drink, everything, with no pain or swelling... And he is just a very personable dentist... And he makes the whole experience of a "dentist office" go very well!! And I can't forget Dr.Hector's #1, Cynthia!! She is awesome.. She is so sweet and she does anything to make u feel at ease. She is his receptionist but she also is his side kick when it comes to certain procedures and she knows what she is doing. You will see her answer the phones, make appts, calls to remind you of your appt, she does the billing, and she sets up the chairs for the patients and she makes sure the Dr has whatever he needs while with a patient and she does it with a smile!! She does what about 3-4 people would be doing, in any other office you go into, and thats what makes her so great, eventhough she does all of these things for everyone, she still will remember your name, which makes you feel like she really does care bout each patient! The two of them are the perfect match for a dentist office running smoothly... It was such a good experience and I recommend him to everyone I talk to, who asks if i know of a dentist... Hope this helps anyone who wants to know of a good dentist, cuz it's def Dr Hector and Cynthia!!
