"I had an excellent dental appointment. Thanks to all in the office who welcomed me. My hygienist, Amy, was very diligent and determined as she patiently and be delicately worked on my teeth and with frequent water brakes for rinsing and also clearing my throat I was an active participant in my dental care. Dr Myra Covarrubias, my dentist, very thoroughly examined my mouth deliberately but gently poking each tooth and checking my tongue and gums. When I got up from my comfortable chair my teeth felt really smooth squeaky clean and my mouth minty refreshed I was ready to savor my cup of coffee and pecan danish!" ![]() |

I have an extreme phobia of dentists and Dr. Houghtaling and his staff were patient, kind and did everything to ease my apprehension. They are very caring and professional. For my abscess, they have recommended me to a specialist in Kalamazoo that was right for me and that they trust will take care of me. Dr. Houghtaling took the time to answer all of my questions and put some fears I had to rest. I still have my phobia, but I can assure you that seeing the level of care and sincerity in Dr. Houghtaling and his staff make dealing with my fear and anxiety much easier. If you are afraid of dentists like me, PLEASE do not hesitate to schedule with Dr. Houghtaling's office! They are amazing and very patient and kind."![]() |

"I went to Houghtaling Dental, and had the best dental experience EVER. All of the staff were friendly and professional. From the time I arrived, I was impressed with the way they followed protocol during this pandemic. The office itself is clean and bright. Everyone wore masks (the dental team wore DOUBLE masks plus face shields and gloves). They were attentive to proper hygiene, I could see they washed their hands before and after every patient. The patients were distanced and the staff sanitizes between the appointments. Even the XRAY machine was the best ever. No more sticking fingers in the mouth, ONE thing to bite on, easily sanitized, and the machine itself moves around the head to get complete views. Dr. Houghtaling himself was the nicest, most thoughtful dentist I’ve ever met. I will have no qualms about dental visits in the future."![]() |

"Very nice caring and dedicated people on office staff."![]() |
"Let me put it this way - I live in Ann Arbor and pay an extra $30 a month on my Dental Insurance specifically so I can go to Houghtaling Dental. I grew up in Battle Creek and tried other dentists when I moved to Ann Arbor, but I much prefer both the doctors at this practice then anyone else I have worked with regarding my oral health. Dr. Houghtaling himself is a delight, he's funny and has a delightful bedside manner that makes you feel welcome and cared for even while getting a root canal. I've dealt with his business partner, Dr. Covarrubias a handful on times, but she is sweet and incredibly competent. The rest of the staff is also wonderful, and I have nothing but good things to say about them, espcially Kelly, Jenny, Lauren and Kristy who are the wonderful ladies I have the most experience with. Again, going here as opposed to somewhere else is worth an hour and a half drive to me becuase I know I will get high quality, compassionate care from professionals I trust."![]() |

Kelli mentioned an issue with one tooth and I mentioned it was in an area where I could feel a bit of pressure at times. I appreciated her bringing that to my attention and to the Dentist’s attention. I was extremely pleased with Kelli! 3) Dr. Covarrubias is always very attentive when checking my teeth.

It’s modern, has up-to-date equipment, and is clean.
