What do our past patients have to say about us?
What do our past patients have to say about us?
Don’t listen to us. Instead, read what our past patients have said about our practice:
Dr. Hardt has been my dentist since he bought the practice from Dr. Baughman 20+ years ago. He is so gentle, caring, and kind. I have never felt a thing whenever I've been in his chair. I have worked alongside him, and the empathy he has for his patients is beyond words. Plus, his dental work speaks for itself. Any treatment he does looks beautiful and natural. He loves to make every patient feel welcome, comfortable, and happy!
Preserving a Friend's Legacy
Dr. Richard Hardt, who has been practicing dentistry in the Porterville area for more than 30 years, is honoring his long-time friend and colleague, the late Dr. Steven Lewis, in the most unique of ways — making it possible for the Lewis dental legacy to continue in Porterville.
