Meet The Doctor

Dr. Hyatt's expertise in the field of Endodontics derives from his diagnostic ability to"hear" his patient. A personal philosophy of his own, Dr. Hyatt respects the importance of his educational training. However, he relies on his patients to communicate their problem or discomfort.

Dr. Hyatt began his dental career in 1959 as a general dentist. His career in general dentistry spanned nearly two decades.

"I decided I needed to know more to help my patients. I chose to specialize in endodontics. When I see patients today, I not only consider what I can do to help them but what is best overall and I thank my initial practice as a general dentist for this understanding."

Since it is common practice for Dr. Hyatt to treat some of the patients on an "emergency" basis, his assistants and front office staff have an understanding of the urgency of someone with tooth pain. They work diligently to facilitate patients who need to be seen as soon as possible.
