The dentist with a Heart for Your Smile 

"I want to take healthcare back to what it should be."

    When he has you in the chair he's not looking only to see what's wrong-he's taking a more conservative approach.  Dr. Hamaty is a member of the American Dental Association, The California Dental Association, The Orange County Dental Society, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. When not at the office, he likes to garden, hike, and travel. But he has little opportunity for that. as he says," I like People, I like the connection, and I like working with the Patient as a team."
   
       Dr. Hamaty studied Restorative Dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated with honors. For him, his career choice was an easy one. "I became a dentist to help people and as a way to give back to the community." After graduation he worked for a year at the University of Pittsburgh before moving to California. He worked in a general dentistry practice for a couple of years until finally, in 1999, he was able to fulfill his dream of owning his own practice.

            Dr. Hamaty purchased his own practice and immediately began adding his own touch.  One of the first (and the smartest, he believes) things that he did was persuade Dr. Dotson (former owner) to work in practice.  This gave many of the patients a feeling of comfort and continuity and allowed Dr. Hamaty to have a great "resource" right down the hall.

    Dr. Hamaty also refocused the practice, stressing a personal approach to dental care. To begin, each patient has a private room where they can truly relax.
