Does your practice do crowns?
Yes. We do a number of different kinds of crowns, from all gold to all porcelain. Our crowns are all processed at local labs from domestic materials.
I need a root canal, do I have to go to a specialist?Not all the time. We perform root canals in our office routinely! We will only refer you to an endodontist under special circumstances.
I had a crown come loose and was able to get in the next day. The crown was very old, and there was a lot of decay underneath. Dr. Haid was able to save the tooth enough that after a root canal, I can get a new crown.
Haid Dental has a wonderful staff and excellent dentists. Dr. Haid is so friendly, explains everything in laymen's terms and is very gentle. I am extremely confident every time I go see them that I will be well taken care of.
I've been a patient at Haid Dental in Worthington for at least 20 years! Both Doctors Emerich & Haid are amazing as well as all the dental staff. Erin is a pro at handling all my insurance issues. My grown daughter continues to choose Haid Dental & brought her own family to the practice. They were very patient with my granddaughter when she was a toddler beginning her dental experience. I have had numerous crowns & even a root canal at their office. My experience has been top notch. I'd never go anywhere else. I love my cleanings & exam at Haid Dental 😃
I was having severe tooth pain and left a message with Dr. Haid's office over the weekend. They contacted me first thing this morning and scheduled an appointment. Dr. Haid and her assistant took X-rays and did an exam and found that a tooth fragment had broken off and was lodged under a bridge. Dr. Haid was able to remove the fragment and it was instant relief. They were so friendly and understanding of the pain I was having. I am so thankful for the great service. A special thanks to Dr. Haid and her assistant.
Both my wife and I have been seeing Dr. Emerick for at least 20 years, maybe more. I was a patient with this practice when Dr. Claiborne was the main dentist. Dr. Haid has really done a fine job of maintaining the high quality of dental care I have come to expect. I am really happy that Dr. Emerick has continued to practice even after Dr. Haid took over the general practice - he is the best dentist you could ask for. Erin and the administrative staff are fantastic to deal with and are always helpful and friendly. The rest of the staff, and hygienists are great also.
The dentists are prompt to evaluate any new dental issues. Got me an appt this morning and had a new crown made in their office within 25 mins. From start to finish, 40 mins total.
great and friendly place. Ran completely on time and was given professional care
As a new patient, I felt welcomed by every person in the office. Pleasant waiting room, no long wait time, and excellent care.

I know that I am receiving the best dental care for me and my children. Everyone in the office is so friendly, and whenever I have tooth pain, they are able to get me right in. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a dental practice that can put you at ease for receiving great care!
Dr. Haid, You rock! Thank you and Supita (is that spelled right?) for all your gentleness, efficiency, and expertise! You can make a crown while I wait! That's so cool.
Dr. Haid and her staff are the best. I would highly recommend them.
I have been going here since 2015, and the staff is awesome! The experience is one using the latest and greatest in technology. The cleanings are so thorough, and they ALWAYS take their time to talk to you in detail about what is going on.
These ladies are the best! So professional, clean and inviting atmosphere. Great place to work on your smile : )
I can't lie I have dreaded the dentist my whole life and thought my experience would continue at Haid Dental. However, they have changed my experiences with going in for dental work over the last two years. I'm still not a fan of getting work done but Dr. Johnson and her staff have helped put me at ease with their care and attention to detail. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs any kind of dental work. Thank You!
I highly recommend Haid Dental. Great service, and exceptionally friendly staff. Best dentist office in Columbus, hands down!
First time there, enjoyed the visit. Good discussion about care and future treatments. Sounds funny saying any trip to the dentist was enjoyable. I was made to feel at ease right away.
Hands down the best dental office I have ever visited. Fast, friendly flexible. They truly go above and beyond to help.
Amazing experience
I recently had my teeth cleaned at Haid Dental Assioc by BethAnn. It was the best cleaning I have ever had. So gentle yet thorough. I would highly recommend this practice.

I have been a patient for many years. Haid Dental gave me back my dental health and they have maintained it consistently. It's a beautiful feeling to know you're in the hands of top tier professionals who actually care. If you need maintenance or rescue, this is the place. Thanks.
Highest quality in service, professionalism and genuine friendliness
After having a crown procedure three weeks ago by Dr. Johnson, I have been experiencing some hot and cold sensitivity and was immediately called in to the office. After an x-ray and exam, she applied a de-sensitizing liquid on my tooth and recommended that I switch to Sensidine tooth past and an ACT rinse adding that if this persisted to contact them for further treatment. From the receptionist to the dental assistant to Dr. Johnson...……..real pros. Thank you! JIm R.
Beautiful office,the team is wonderful very nice .
Knowledgeable, Professional and Caring.
Dr. Haid and her staff are exceptional. Personnel at the front desk are polite, considerate and friendly. Michelle, my friendly hygienist, is thorough but gentile. And, Dr. Haid is awesome; professional, knowledgeable and kind. The waiting room is comfortable and inviting with coffee and drinks available. The patient rooms are clean and bright with all the latest shiny new equipment and dental gadgets. Before I started going to Dr. Haid, I used to absolutely dread going to the dentist. Don't get me wrong...I still don't look forward to going to the dentist. But at least now, I don't mind it.
Very polite , conversation on the witty side, even quite laughable
Professional , yet customer friendly , taking time to do the task at hand
Professional , adding a personal touch with conversation

My family and I have been going to this dentist even before Haid bought the practice! Great service, friendly staff. Definitely would recommend!

Excellent dentistry, WONDERFUL personality!!!
Dr. Lisa Johnson is by far the BEST dentist I've ever had. She performs top notch dentistry with a very gentle touch. Her personality is calming and she makes sure you are comfortable throughout the process. Her assistant, Alicia, does great work and is very knowledgeable about the procedures. The temporary crowns she made me look and feel JUST like my original teeth. If you are looking for an amazing dentist in a beautiful office, look no further!
Always immensely friendly and very knowledgeable when I ask questions. Dr. Haid also took the time to come in on a Sunday morning to look at my sisters chipped tooth, so I can confidently say they truly care about their patients.

Family Dentist Practice
We recently transferred our kids (10 & 8) to Haid from a "pediatric" practice. Haid staff are so much better with kids. Thanks for your service! Staff and Dr Johnson are awesome. Would recommend them for any person young and old.
Cleaning and xrays
I'll be honest..going to the dentist is my Achilles heal, ever since I was 5. I feared the dentist. I have been with Haid dental for 1years after my trusted dentist retired. I had some fillings, crowns, etc., they are 1) very thorough, 2) excellent at making people feel at ease, 3) and personable. I still have my teeth!
First class service, people, facilities, and equipment
Work completed timely, and professionally.
Very professional staff, and pleasant offices
Very attentive to detail, the latest in equipment, and patient friendly.
I had the best experience ever there! As a dental professional myself, I know how hard it is to find quality, and a friendly environment at the same office! I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Johnson! She is absolutely awesome! I will recommend them to everyone I know.
This is one dental office that you can trust. The location is spotless and they know their business. From the kind reception to the calm and knowledgeable dentists and assistants, I will not go anywhere else.

Excellent experience/superb patient service
I had an emergency dental problem. The staff beginning with Erin in the Worthington office were responsive to the issue and provided concern and care to scheduling an appointment at the Dublin office. Dr. Haid quickly addressed the condition and provided analysis and the required dental procedures to take care of the problem. An excellent example of the professional approach of the dental practice.

Lifelong Patient!
I have gone to this dental office since I was a kid, and choose to continue my care here as an adult! Always friendly, professional, and helpful staff with a clean and very nice location. Scheduling is always easy and convenient, and I very rarely have to wait longer than a few minutes when I arrive for my appointment. I've only had one instance where I had an urgent situation, but they got me in quickly and took care of my situation!
Great service! Very professional but not stuffy. Very personable
Dr Haid rocks! So does Erin. A cown had comeout and htey got me in right away. It wasn't like it was an inconvience, but Erin even said, "Sorry you had to come back" Today with so much going on, thta means a lot, because no one has tiems to return for more work after you got it done once. But everyone in the office is very personable, professional and they make you f eel at ease. They never want you in pain, so any little bit of pain, they want to know. Thanks Dr. Haid and Erin!
Dr. Haid and her staff are amazing... it is the best Dental experience I have had. I highly recommend Dr. Haid.

In and out
On a morning in early April , while I was brushing my teeth , a cap on one of my upper front teeth , came off. I went to Dr. Haid's to schedule an appointment and leave , but instead they got me into a chair replaced the cap and fixed some other problems I had been procrastinating about and in about 2 hours , I was on my way home. Dr. Emrich's assistant did a fantastic job under his direction. Been with the same dental office for over sixty years . Different dentists and assistants , same efficiency.
I am very satisfied with the alignment that Dr. Hied did for me. I would certainly recommend her to anyone that needs denture work done. Very kind doctor. Judy T

Top Notch!
Top notch company! Great professional staff!
This was a very well planned and conducted visit. Problems discovered were handled quickly and professionally. I was very pleased with the care I received.
Service you can sink your teeth into!
Pulled a front premolar crown off on Saturday night. (No more Gin-gins for me in the future!) I left a message Sunday morning explaining my dilemma. Got a fast response back from Dr Haid stating she would fit me in first thing Monday morning. Reseated crown and I were on our way back to work within 40 minutes. So thankful and so relieved. And now I am smiling pretty again. THANK YOU DR HAID AND SOPHITA!
Absolutely the best!
This practice is truly unique. Dr. Haid and staff are committed to great customer service, efficient scheduling and make every effort to make their patients comfortable and well informed.

Excellent patient service, Friendly Staff
Had first visit today with this practice. I sure wish I'd found them sooner! Excellent care, knowledgeable staff and great facilities. Very thorough checkup and clear explanations made the it easy to chose next steps. Dr. Johnson very nice, professional, clearly knowledgeable, and again, able to explain with photos & x-rays her recommendations clearly. Very pleased I have found this practice!
Friendly, professional organization
Everone is very professional. Services recommeded are very understandable, with transparent costs being explained completely.
Great people! Top service!!
No one "likes" to go to the dentist!
The older I get the more I dread going to the dentist. Even worse, this visit was for two early cavities on my upper front teeth which I thought would be really tricky. But, Dr. Johnson and Alicia made this appointment and work as tolerable as possible. The anesthesia was the perfect amount and the work product was reasonably quick and done very well. Although I will never "look forward" to the next appointment, I know it is necessary and I am confident that Haid Dental Associates will take care of me.
Wouldn't go anywhere else. Guess I'm spoiled. Latest technology, great facility, pleasant staff. I feel like these people are the best in the business. Great refreshments in waiting room. They get you in at the time the appointment is scheduled. Extremely professional yet very cordial. My wife and I have been going there for years. Kudos!!
Great for children (and their parents)
Received the usual excellent service and attention from the Haid Dental staff. Our 3 year old went in for her check-up and asked if we could go back the next day. Clean, modern and bright, it's a pleasure to go in each and every time.
Professional service with a respectable and personal touch
Professional and friendly
I had two old fillings replaced. Dr. Haid was very good at numbing the area with a minimum amount of discomfort. Everyone involved with the procedure was friendly and informative. It was a good experience.
Very pleased to have selected them!
Moved to Columbus last January, 2017. I was with my past Dentist for at least 35 years. After my first visit, I think I have found my next long term Dentist. They have a beautiful new office and a very friendly staff. Everything is state of the art. I am comfortable suggesting that others also consider their practice.
Beautiful office. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great bedside manner of doctors.
Excellent experience. I was extremely nervous about the appointment and was made very comfortable immediately! The staff at Haid was very professional and treated me likefamily.
Great service!
Everyone at this office is so friendly and welcoming. I came for a consultation about getting bridge work done. I decided to make Haid Dental my primary dentist. Thanks again! Kristina Kirchner
Friendly, prompt high quality service.
Going to the dentist is always a pleasure. Everyone is professional, kind, and service is given with my comfort and convenience in mind.
I had a dental issue. I called the Dr at night and she got me in first thing In the morning.
The high quality service we've come to expect!
Bethann and Dr. Haid were so great with my daughter (and me), especially the x-rays portion. Couldn't recommend this practice enough, clean, 21st century and everyone greets you with a smile. A+!
Best Dentist in town
Always on time, courteous and kind.Thank you for another great visit
Kid's Appointment
The appointment itself went very well. Both the hygienist and the dentist were considerate and helpful with my four year old. The waiting room is not very kid friendly. It is beautiful for adults, but I did not see books or magazines for children. The furniture was difficult for them to sit on without sliding off. Perhaps a small table in a corner with some books or a bin of duplo blocks would help the little ones wait.
Always efficient...Always attention to detail
Can one enjoy going to a dentist? You bet! Just look at all the reviews on this page. I second all of them!
Installation of permanent crown
As always, Dr. Johnson was very gentle and efficient. I could not ask for better service.
Good experience, as always.
As has been the case with all my appointments, the staff was friendly and welcoming! I always get called back ahead of my appointment time, and I was in and out in no time.
Great Staff
Everyone is so nice and friendly. It takes the anxiety out of going to the the dentist. They do great work and thoroughly answer any questions.
Very friendly and making you are comfortable & questions are answered.
Professional and friendly staff
Great service. Good feedback on what to do better. Friendly yet professional. I trust their recommendations. My only complaint is the film holder for the x-rays cut into my upper and lower palettes, which was pretty uncomfortable.
every thing I expected, same quality and professional service
Thanks for continuing the great level of service!
Hi Everyone! 1st: Dr Lisa: You're the very best. A very thorough going over on me; provided a lot a good and helpful information. So Happy! 2nd: Michelle! Does it get any better? You went the extra mile on my cleaning. Appreciated the pointy tip polisher and the seemingly extra time spent on my cleaning. Also: All the other women are all pretty wonderful also.
Professional and friendly
Always have a great experience here.Beth and Dr. Johnson are super!
Everyone was professional and friendly, as always. Staff members take continuing education classes and stay up on new info and are always addressing personal needs as related to health and dental care interactions. I have complete confidence in Dr. Haid and her staff.

Great staff, my kids love them!
Great office
My hygienist was great. Dr. Johnson was very informative as she walked me through my exam. Entire staff was awesome !!
Great Experience!
I just had my first appointment with Dr. Haid. It was great! The staff was so friendly and made me feel comfortable!
My husband and I are new to Haid Dental and they have been amazing! Very professional, kind staff willing to take the time to thoroughly answer any and all questions.
Competent, trusted, and caring staff!
I know I am in very good hands, and they are genuinely caring people.
Great service
Great patient care and great and friendly staff.
Professional Dental Care
Very timely and efffecient visit. Always a great professional environment. Highly recommend.
Professional and friendly staff
Had cavities drilled and filled today. Dr. Johnson and her staff were very professional, telling me what to expect, and they worked quickly and efficiently. Very friendly, sharing stories about our kids and they asked questions to get to know me better on a personal level to make small talk. Would definitely recommend Dr. Johnson at Haid Dental Associates!
Wonderful staff all very friendly and personable, while maintaining a professional attitude😊
High quality of service, human quality
Great service
Always feel welcome and treated with respect. Dr. Johnson is very thorough and friendly. Beth Ann does a great job also
Very professional but also friendly. Started on time and ended the appointment within the time set.
Best dentist ever!
Had a filling that had come out. Went in to have that replaced. Procedure was pain free! Dr. Johnson is so kind and very gentle. The only dentist I have ever been to that didn't hurt me.
High quality , friendly , willing to help
Had not been to the dentist in 3 yrs -- hygienist came in took pictures and numbed me (on gums) just for going in a scraping (never had that done before) //needed DEEP cleaning done and set up a time for that // very polite - wiling to help
Always a great experience. Friendly staff
Excellent Emergency Care
I had a crown fall out at 9:30 in the evening. It was replaced before 8:00 the next morning. I am very appreciative of the quick response and the kind care from the whole team.
Everyone is so kind. Excellent staff all around. Thanks for taking care of us!
Great experience
Dr. Johnson and her staff provided great service, explained everything as they went and were basically fun people. What more could you want.
Good experience, Dr. Johnson, staff are the best at explaining work and finishing work. NO PAIN, but a lot of laughter!! Thanks Mike Auld
Great service
Dr Haid is very professional and is very welcoming.
High quality service and friendly too.
I appreciate the later hours. Thanks so much.
Excellent Service, As Always!
Another great appointment with Beth Ann and Dr. Johnson!
First time in the office...
Although I didn't expect anything less after Dr Odenweller, I was truly pleased with my new Dentist! Everybody was friendly and I felt like I mattered, not just a number!
Great experience! Staff is wonderful and friendly
I am one of those with an absolute fear of dentists! Dr. Johnson made me feel extremely comfortable and walked me through each step of the procedure! I have another appointment in 2 weeks and I'm not feeling the anxiety that I normally feel with another appointment. I had the opportunity to meet the rest of the staff and was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness from all!
cavity filled
Of course, the cavity that needed to be filled was in the very back top of my mouth. But . . . Dr. Haid and her assistant (sorry, don't remember her name) did everything possible to make the experience painless, as relaxing as possible and more. From the blanket they provided to me because it was a little cool in the room, to the music playing, to their constant questioning of me as to comfort, etc., everything was done in a professional yet patient focused manner. Thank you, Dr. Haid for the atmosphere you created in your office.
I had a very positive experience. Everyone was wonderful to deal with and the facility is very nice.
Professional, friendly, and competent
I'm quite happy with my care at Haid dental- the staff is friendly and knows what they are doing.
9-29 Treatment
Dr Haid recently became my dentist after my dentist retired. Very impressed with her and her staff and her entire practice. I immediately became very comfortable with her - very open, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and professional.
Caring staff that will go the extra mile to provide care to a fraidy cat dental patient
I am not your run of the mill scared of dentists patient. An experience as a teenager scarred me for life and it took decades for me to find a dentist who would be tolerant and patient with me. Dr Lisa Johnson and Beth Piccin are the true epitome of caring without judging and are women who's compassion to making my dental experiences positive are boundless. If you and your family are looking for a team who's best interests in dental health and care, please run...do not walk to Haid Dental.
Professional and Friendly
Great experience. The office itself is clean and new and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and professional. They are knowledgeable about their profession and are kind. I would recommend them.
Professional and friendly
This place is amazing!!! my kids really enjoy when they have appointments. They really care about kids.
Friendly staff flexible appointment
I arrived early than expected and they took me back right away for my scheduled cleaning. I had been postponing some dental work for a while and they asked me if I had time to do it. They were able to do the additional dental work in a short period of time.
Impressions were painful
Those impressions were painful! The piece of plastic on the edge was stabbing me in the cheek.
I've experienced nothing but great quality service here. The whole staff is wonderful!
The numbing product before the needle was awesome. Thank you very much for that! I have had no pain whatsoever today and I expected to, so that was a bonus.
Professional and Friendly!
Always looking at all the details and offer you options. They make an anxious appointment more relaxing by demonstrating genuine concern for you. They all take the time to visit with you after the work is complete. It takes the edge off of going to the dentist.
Professional. Quality service.
Excellent service. Friendly. Meets my special need for pain control.
Dental Visit
Really enjoyed your hygienist, Michelle. Nice Lady. Glad Dr Johnson found in her examination a couple areas of potential fractures. The intra-oral camera is amazing! See you soon. Anna Long
Highly professional dental practice
I am a new patient at the Haid Dental Clinic. I have visited twice for a cleaning and a second time for some repair work. I am very impressed with the quality of the facility, equipment, and mostly the professionalism and competency of the dental staff. I was greeted like an old friend by Tabitha at the front desk and everyone that followed was equally friendly and helpful. Everyone wants a painless dental experience and Dr. Lisa Johnson and her staff made sure that my visit was absolutely that. They used specific techniques that made sure that I didn't feel any unpleasant sensations, from injection to drilling to the finished product. I also felt no ill effects following the procedure and I remain absolutely pain free. The quality of the work is excellent. I am a regular dental customer, have been all my life. I look forward to my next cleaning and any subsequent procedures with Dr. Johnson and the team at the Haid Dental Clinic.
professional and polite
In getting my teeth cleaned, business was professional and courteous. Explanation was given for why upcoming procedures were necessary without me having to request answers. In checking out, it was mentioned to me that the office had already contacted my insurance company again concerning the unwillingness to pay my previous bill.
High quality, friendly, and professional
I always get quality care with Haid dental associates. I love Dr. Johnson. She is an excellent dentist, funny and compassionate!
Great service and Patient Care
Multiple work done. everything went well. The staff is great.
Very nice office but a little complicated to find but once you know where it is, no worries. I have been a patient of Dr. Odenweller for 30+years and just loved her and the staff but have switched to Dr Johnson with Dr. O retiring soon. I am very pleased with Dr. Johnson, she is friendly, very professional and explains each procedure she is about to preform to make you comfortable. Glad to still work with Debbie at the front desk also. Keep up the good work. I will miss Dr. Beth Odenweller-best wishes in retirement!
Excellent 21st Century Dental Option
Friendly and inviting staff, great service, and they make my 4 year old excited to see her dentists!
Repair cracked crown
I am always pleasantly amazed at how good I feel when I walk out of the office after a visit with Dr Johnson and her team. When you say "dental appointment" to people, they usually grimmace and make some sad reply. I feel I am listened to and treated with respect. And my mouth is always better when I leave than when I arrived!
dental work on 7/21/16
All of the persons who work there are very considerate and professional. I have worked with a number of dentists in the past and Dr. Haid should be ranked up there at the top. She was very professional and pleasant the time that she worked on my teeth and I felt comfortable with her style and demeanor. Her assistants were also very professional and provided plenty of information and education about what I needed to do to care for my temporary caps.
Care with comfort
I was very anxious about having to have a dental procedure, but Dr. Haid and her staff made my visit pain free!
Very professional and friendly would recommend
The Haid dental practice was great. Friendly staff, clean, beautifully decorated, well organized and I give it my highest rating.
It was my first time and the Haid dental practice exceeded my expectations. I was greeted by the staff and I didn't have to wait but a few minutes. The waiting area was clean and spacious and they had a small refrigerator with cool bottled water. It was clean and beautifully furnished and the staff was excellent.
superior dental practice
Every effort was made to ensure patient comfort during procedures. Staff from front desk to hygienist to Dr Haid are friendly and professional. Cutting edge technology to diagnose, provide information and treatment options. Highly recommend!
Dr. Johnson and Alisha are the sweetest! It was a stress free procedure with great personal touches! So glad this is my dentist now!
usual compitent and friendly service
The new digs are impressive and worth the extra drive, The staff and professionals are superb. I will miss seeing Beth, but look forward to meeting Tara and Lisa
I love these ladies. Very professional they don't beat around the bush. They also provide you with every resource if needed. Will definitely recommend to anyone I know.
Dr. Johnson and Dr. Haid are two of the best dentists I've ever known. Dr. Johnson has been working with my girls and they really like her, too. They are 18. One of them is very fearful of dentists and Dr. Johnson is so gentle and kind with her. Love her!
I'm new to this practice having moved as a long-time patient of Dr. Odenweller, who is retiring. I have truly appreciated Dr. O's kind professionalism [and really like her]. She and Debbie have made a great team over the years--Debbie's cheerful efficiency and warm, welcoming manner have made every patient feel welcome and comfortable. I hope this quality of experience will continue after Dr. O retires this fall.
Professional, proficient and personable
I have always experienced top quality dental care and advice. Friendly and personable treatment as well. I can't imagine going elsewhere for my dental care.
Great office
I was more than happy with my dental visit today, great office.
Walt & Sara
Just like eBay, fill in the stars.. We have no complaints
Friendly, prompt, high quality service. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson.
Great service, office was beautiful and clean. They ran on time. Beth Ann provided great, painless care.
The appointment went very smoothly. Had a cavity filled. Everything was quick and easy.
Great Service
The staff is very friendly and understanding. Its a wonderful patient experience.
Friendly and Efficient
Cleaning services were provided and it was done in a friendly, efficient and timely manner.
This was my first visit - I have been going to Dr. Odenweller for over 25 years. Everything went well today. Thank you for your help.
One of my best teeth cleaning ever! I have two very sensitive front teeth and the hygienist asked if I would like the area numbed. A little gel and I didn't feel a thing! I will remember to always ask for this.
Efficient, gentle, and professional
We're new to this region of Ohio and made an appt based on the recommendation of a friend. We weren't disappointed. This practice is light years ahead of our former dentist in Cleveland. My co-pay was twice the estimate - but the care we rec'd was superb.
I've enjoyed my experience with Haid dental every visit!
I had to wait about 15 minutes to begin but I don't regard this as a significant problem. The hygenist was very efficient and advised me of ways to improve my dental care. Very positive visit.
A perfect "first visit"!
Upon a arrival , I was greeted with a smile and felt at ease! It was nice to see familiar faces (Debbie and Abi) My cleaning was great and I was impressed by the office decor and cleanliness! It was to my surprised but delight to find that I have know Dr. Haid for many years!
quick and easy
The staff is always greeting you with a smile. You never have to wait for your appointment and they get you in and out.
Cleaning Was Painfree!!!
After our recent move, I spent a lot of time researching a new dentist. My main concern was that the hygienist would be gentle when cleaning my teeth. Beth Ann was my hygienist and I could not have been more satisfied. She was extremely gentle, thorough, and explained everything she was doing. Dr. Haid was very kind while evaluating me and giving me advice on what needed to be done in the future.The ladies in the office were very friendly and efficient in their work. I feel confident that future work will also be of high quality. I am very glad to have found Haid Dental Associates.
Customer Service
I was very pleased with the service I received from the Dublin Office of Haid Dental. Last week I had a filling, a new crown and my semi-annual cleaning. I had a temporary crown come off (I ate something that was not recommended by the staff last week) and was able to get an appointment the same day as I called. Both appointments had me in the dental chair at the appointment time (no wait in the lobby). The staff seemed very competent as each process occurred and explained what they were doing. They made recommendations for preventative care (that is to be incorporated in my daily brushing). The staff all seemed to enjoy their jobs and focused on their clients.
Very professional.
Professional and friendly
Comfortable area and chair. Top of the line technology and care. I have recommended this firm to friends.
Outstanding Service
Always a great experience at Haid Dental
Very Caring
The team at Haid Dental is awesome - very caring and compassionate and they do a great job.
Awesome experiences😃 Just a cleaning this time, but all staff personnel from the time I walked in the door until I walked out was very friendly and professional.
Great care for patient
The dentists treated me extremely well and always made sure I was doing okay. The procedure went really well and I appreciated how nice everyone was. They did amazing.
Great service and friendly too!
Beth Ann does an excellent cleaning. Very thorough. She takes time to explain the procedures and what she fiinds.
Good experience, made a bad situation bearable.
I had three cavities filled and they made me as comfortable as possible. Would definitely recommend this office to anyone.
good as always
Went as expected
Perfection as usual!
As usual, my "visit" was seamless and the care was professional, friendly and top notch! I had a hygienist new to me and enjoyed my visit. I consider my time as visiting with family. Thank you for taking the time to engage in conversation which relaxes any anxiety that I may have.
I had to have a crown cemented. I was able to get an appointment quickly. They were ready for me as soon as I arrived. All went great...I'm as good as new!
Professional, efficient and friendly
Moved to area and was looking for new dentist. Chose Haid based on location and in my insurance network. Found a great dentist in Lisa Johnson and staff.
It was a good experience. It went well. My mouth feels cleaned. Not very sore.
Friendly, provided Quality care & Listened to me regarding my teeth
Thank You Comfortable Affordable Friendly
Great service
I went here to have a crown done and Dr. Lisa Johnson and staff were the best. An absolute pleasure to deal with, they made me feel very comfortable and took excellent care of me throughout. I would highly recommend.
In and Out
Just had a temporary crown replacement fitted and another cavity filled. No fun, but in and out in 85 minutes. They were ready when I walked in and attentive to any discomfort throughout. I would definitely recommend Dr. Johnson and Alisha. See you in two weeks for the permanent. 8-D
First time with Michelle (hygienist) but experience was great as always. Michelle was very professional, courteous l a pleasure to talk to. Dr. Haid is, well, Dr Haid--competent, professional and just a great person.
Great Vist
I am always pleased with the service, timliness and caring nature of the people who work at Haid Dental. Thank you!
Quality company
I've only been with your company for a couple years, but have always had a wonderful experience. The staff is very friendly, the office is very warm and inviting and Dr. Johnson always takes her time examining me and is patient when I ask a million questions :)
High Quality & Professional Service
I just left an appointment for a normal cleaning. Since I have been a regular customer they have my dental history. During visits they always compare the present to the past in order to identify potential issues. Today I was told I needed a new crown and a filling---not music to my ears, but when shown the close up and color pictures I fully understood the need for the recommended services. I have already been given follow up appointments in the next couple weeks to complete the needed repairs--the scheduling was very easy. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend the Haid Dental Associates.
Always a good experience
I've been for two crowns and this trip was to fix some erosion at the gums for my upper front teeth. The work looks great and I was more comfortable than one might expect given the location of the work being done. I highly recommend Haid Dental Associates
Love everything about Haid Dental Associates. They treat us like family every visit! Can't recommend them enough.
Great first experience, friendly staff and thoroughly updated facility/equipment
I took my daughter for her first check-up as well as my first visit to HDA. They could not have been easier to work with, from the moment we stepped in the door to the moment we walked out (after allowing my daughter a treat or two from the Treasure box!). I have already scheduled our next appointments and look forward to another great experience.
Always a pleasure.
Great dentist!
First pain free filling I have ever had! Dr. Johnson is fantastic!
Top-quality care
I came in today for a cleaning and full-mouth x-rays. The personal touch is what I love about this practice. My hygienist was informative, professional, compassionate and thorough.
Excellent friendly service
The appointment started on time, and was completed in an efficient and friendly manner.
Unexpected ease
Recently I had a dental appointment at Haid Dental with Dr. Johnson. I was pleasantly surprised to walk out after an appointment of teeth cleaning and checking and good conversation with information that I needed.
Very professional and friendly
I've been a patient for approximately two years. I've never had such thorough and attentive care. Everyone is pleasant from the moment you walk into the office. I feel as though my dental care is the best it's ever been with this practice.
Very friendly. On time. Efficiant
As always, a great experience. By late afternoon the the procedure was showing positive results.
Good experience, as always
Everyone at Dr. Haid's office is always very pleasant, professional, and helpful. I had questions when I first arrived, and the young woman at the reception desk very patiently looked up the information I needed. I was seen very promptly for my appointment, and again, everyone I came in contact with was great. I have always had good experiences there.
Great in an emergency
Had an issue with a crown that had come loose and went to Haid Dental Associates without an appointment at 7:30 AM. They took care of me promptly and I was on my way to work with only a short delay. I always receive prompt service and the staff is top notch
Dr Haid and the hygienist's did a great job!
Knowledgeable staff, courteous and thorough.
Fantastic service, high quality tools and materials, efficent scheduling
I was sick and tired of my old dental office - shoddy materials, and inconsistent skill of the dental staff. Then I discovered Haid Dental Group. Wow!, it was like walking into the sunlight. They are proactive - they let you know what the problem is, and other areas that might need attention. They have the latest in dental equipment - digital x-rays, and cameras that can show you exactly what is going on in your mouth. The skill of the dental staff is top draw, high quality, along with the materials they use for fillings and crowns. The front office is equally adept. They scheduled several procedures for the same day so I didn't have to take multiple days off work. Also helped work out a reasonable billing schedule. Truly amazed - This is THE dental group to have!
Freat expereince. Very nice staff.
Well run practice with caring staff
Like most people I am not fan of the dentist; especially when having more than the semi-annual check. Everyone was super patient dealing with my nerves and made my visit as pleasant as possible. The office is very clean and well run which is unfortunately becoming more rare. I recommend this practice without hesitation.
Thanks so much for seeing my 91 year old mother on such short notice. You were kind, gentle and very professional. You gave us good solutions and helped immensely. Great offices. Very clean. And, very professional. Highly recommend it.
Outstanding as Always
I have been going to Haid for a little over a year now. The service is outstanding and the experience is always good.
Warm, welcoming & quality care!
Haid Dental Associates is conveniently located, beautifully decorated and has a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff is warm and welcoming, offering quality service and care.
Thank you for accommodating me through my crown everything was very timely and comfortable I will certainly refer my friends looking for new dentistry needs to come here! Thank you
Outstanding Service
Professional, knowledgable within the dental environment. Great new state of the art equipment and a wonderful office.
Always great
I always get right in (no waiting), the staff is friendly and I feel like I receive personal attention.
Very pleased with the professional, high quality care I received.
loved my hygienist!
My first visit to your office was a great one. The personal service and dedicated time and attention meant a lot. Love my new toothbrush and toothpaste. They are working well!
Great experience, wonderful staff!
I loved how Dr. Haid and her staff took the time to explain all my options and worked with me for the best, most affordable plan of action to replace my crowns and improve my smile!
This is a great practice! They are prompt, efficient, and they do excellent work. Plus what I had done today might just save me having to replace an existing, expensive crown. The staff is also friendly, helpful and efficient. Can't do better. Kudos to all!
Great experience
Start to finish, everyone was personable, professional and courteous. The exam was off the charts thorough. Michelle was clearly experienced and talented at her job. All in all a very good visit that left me feeling well taken care of.
We went in for an emergency- my 12 y/o son had his tooth knocked out. Dr Haid was extremely helpful and informative. She was able to reinsert the tooth and brace it in place. She spent a good deal of time discussing our options going forward.
The appointment went well, with no pain.
Excellent care!
EVERYBODY at the dental office made me feel comfortable and at ease!! They are so accepting and also professional!! I feel so lucky to have been referred to Haid Dental!!
Very good service and friendly.
Always get good service and the staff is always friendly. They explain everything to you, which I like.
Professional and Friendly
My 13 year old daughter received superb treatment at Haid Dental. They worked with us to have her needs addressed before she left on a trip out of the country. She is quite comfortable with the staff and enjoys her appointments with them.Thank you!
Awesome as always!
Dr. Johnson was awesome as always! I will always come here for her to do my dental work!
Very nice new office. Liked "subdued Tuesday" vibe.
I WAS SOOOOOOOO PLEASED THAT THE STAFF AND DR. JOHNSON WERE WILLING TO WORK ME IN THIS AFTERNOOON WHEN MY BRIDGE FELL OUT AT 4 P. M. THEY WERE SO PLEASANT AND I WAS APOLOGETIC FOR COMING IN AT SUCH A BAD TIME before a holiday... THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARING AND FINE SERVICE.... I APPRECIATE IT.... KAY MURRAY
I went in to get a new crown, and they were wonderful, very professional and kind. All the staff I met were very friendly and helpful.
Very professional!
Each of the procedures I was having done was explained to me step by step. My questions and concerns were answered in a caring, professional manner. Dr. Johnson does a wonderful job with the numbing--I did not feel a thing. As a retired dental hygienist, I appreciated all of the above and know that my former patients would as well. Love this office!
Awesome Sauce!!!
As always, Dr. Johnson is the bomb! The most pain-free restorative dental appointment I have had! Keep up the great work and customer service at Haid Dental! I will be back! :)
Everything was good
Counting down till my next appt. !
Spectacular dental care
The visits were pleasant, the complete staff was professional and very helpful.
Love that everyone is concerred about giving good care, and that they are friendly, too.
Great office!
Worked me in right away and very thorough on explaining things.
I always look forward to going to the dentist! My appointments happen in a timely fashion and I come out with such wonderful clean teeth and how to keep them that way. The new office space is wonderful!
My teeth are in the best hands ever!
Today I received a 6 month cleaning/check up ...as always, Beth Ann/Hygienist was so professional, so thorough and most informative. Their sophisticated technical equipment provides a close up look at the most minute details and validates any positive or negative event going on with my teeth and gums. Dr. Johnson practices a pro-active approach and is able to easily identify any areas that need to be watched and re-evaluated to prevent major problems in the future. That was the case today and I feel good knowing that both of these kind and competent professionals really care about my teeth and gums. Going to Haid Dental is one of the best decisions I have made regarding my health care.
Great office. Excellent people!
Dr. Haid seems to love what she is doing and cares about her patients
Everyone at this office is very caring, helpful and make you feel comfortable. They have a high level of knowledge and confidence about what they are doing and are able to explain that to the patient to put them at ease. The work done so far is far above what other dentists have been able to do. A huge thank you to Dr. Haid, Dr. Johnson and the whole staff!
There was not much time that I had to wait and I was finished with the check-up and cleaning in one hour.
The service was great ,the staff was friendly , and very helpful.
Very professional
Very pleasant staff. Took extra time to address any concerns before starting on the dental work.
Very Happy with New Dentist
I haven't been to the dentist in a long time. A big reason was because I didn't like our old dentist. I am very happy that we made the change. Not only did everything go well, but I also felt like the staff and dentist actually listened to what I had to say.
New facility.
I am impressed with the new facility. My appointment was scheduled for 11:00 A.M. The hygienist started about 10 to 12 minutes past the scheduled hour. I think it would have been nice if the receptionist had informed me that the staff was running about 10 minutes behind schedule. Other than that -- it was very good!
Even Beth Ann did a good job!! she is an old pro at looking in our mouth. Every one is polite
great service
I appreciate that they were able to do my root canal right away. They are very professional and friendly.
Very professional. They keep you informed on what they are doing and finding. Relaxed atmosphere.
Always very professional friendly and quick
Outstanding Care
Haidet Dental is awesome. True professionals.
Professional & Knowledgeable
Very grateful to staff for getting me in so promptly and Dr Johnson was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with her treatment plan.
Great new office but the employees are awesome that's what makes it a 5 star
Very pleased
I haven't been to the dentist in 4 years and need a lot of work done. I was nervous about being judged and feeling bad about myself. The staff & doctor Johnson were incredibly nice. The building is furnished beautifully.
most gentle tooth extraction possible
Dr. Lisa Johnson and her assistant were the the most kindest, likable, and gentle professionals i"ve ever run across in my 64 years. Understood??? Sincerely, Robert F. Marsillio March 18th, 2015
Competent. Good communicator. Respectful. Everyone.
1st visit to this location, every bit as satyisfied as the Worthington location
Office saw me within 10 min.s of checking in. Lisa was very insightful explaining my options as to what procedures I had to consider for dental work and directed me to an alternative means of treatment. Wonderful!
Crown Work
Very caring and gentle with the work for two crowns - especially with my apprehension. Second crown work in 6 months and both were relatively pain free. The bite for the new crowns was perfect also. Experience is MUCH better than my last dentist who retired.
Beautiful new office!
On time. Great cleaning. Great explanation of needed treatment without the pressure of my last dentist. Highly recommended.
Beth Ann is great as always
On time and caring
Wonderful staff .... Great Facility and Care.
Great practice
Staff were courteous and professional. Dr. Johnson is terrific!
Gentle and xaring
I recently switched to this practice when my dentist retired. What a wonderful group of professionals. I have the early impression of "gentle and caring." Thank you!
my experiece was wonderful as usual
Michelle did a wonderful job on 1. updating my medicines 2. assisting Dr Johnson 3. answering my questions. 4. cleaning and polishing my teeth 5. being a wonderful human being. Dr. Lisa was as usual magnificent! She could'nt have been more complete with her analasys and patient with all of my questions. Put it this way! I could'nt be happier. Also I want to give a good shout out to the girls out front!
Great service!!
I started controls for me and my family, and I feel Haid is taking really good care, and giving us excellent service in dentistry, cleaning, etc... People in the front desk are really nice, dental hygienist and dentists are excellent proffessionals.
Very personable. Everyone in the office is very interested in you. They are all absolutely great. Love every interaction with them: and with four in the family going to them, we have quite a few!!
Love these two doctors!! One child has been coming to them since she was little. The other hadn't had regular dental care until two years ago. Dr. Johnson has worked with us to figure out the best way to give care while minimizing anxiety. So patient and always keeping the child's concerns in mind. Thank you!!
Building a relationship
I love having a longstanding relationship with people I trust to want the best care for me. I never feel rushed & know that by the time my appointment has ended, Beth Ann & Dr. Haid or Dr. Johnson have educated me on my dental health.
Dr Haid is the Best!
Knowledegable, Professional,Curtious, Caring and Considerate; what more could you want in a dentist and her staff?
First time in this office since having been with Dr. M. Michelle was very professional with the work she did and coached me how to best change some brushing habits. Also nice to meet Dr. Lisa. Staff was friendly and courteous.
They care about people!
From the front desk all they way through the office you will find staff that s concerned about their patients. Great folks, excellent service.
Best dentist in the universe! Love you Tara!!
Dr Johnson was great!
Dr. Johnson did an outstanding job of listening to my concerns and explaining why certain dental procedures were recommended in order to maintain my good dental health. If you are in need of a very professional, knowledgeable and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Johnson.
Expertise and caring
Employees are always learning and the practice is keeping up with current advances in treatment and technology. I always feel confident that I am getting the best care.
Competent caring professionals
Doctors Haid and Johnson are great; they do a magnificent job and their advice is always timely and professional. I never feel like they're doing more or less than necessary.
Best dentist in town :)
First visit
The staff was very understanding as I was late for my appointment due to an accident on 33. Beth Ann ( I believe was the name of the staff member) explained every x-ray as we did my whole mouth and what to expect on my next visit. Dr. Haid introduced herself and after doing an exam of my mouth discusssed with me that she would go over a plan of attack for my teeth at my next visit. It was my first visit from being a patient of Dr. McDougall's and everyone was very nice & professional. Whenever you change Doctor's or Dentist you are always a little uneasy not knowing what to expect, but I felt very good about the change after leaving your office from my first visit. Great job everyone!
It was all good!
Saved a tooth great job
Only half way through the process but smooth sailing so far. Ready to get it over but only discomfort was to my wallet.
Awesome dentist and staff!
Bob Barlow's Haid review
Felt the workmanship was excellent because of the professionalism. The only suggestion that I would have would be the assistant being just a little bit softer in her physical style. Certainly not a major issue.

Jennifer Lopez Laughs Off Oscars Nip Slip
That's the spirit! Following all of the hullabaloo of Jennifer Lopez's 2012 Oscars wardrobe malfunction, she's responding to it appropriately: by chuckling. J. Lo was presenting the Academy Award for best costume and makeup (how's that for irony?) when her dangerously low cut gown slipped — and so did a bit of her areola. This wasn't the first time Lopez hit the red carpet or stage in a revealing gown, but it was the first time she made the mistake of apparently not investing in double stick tape.
Thankfully, she has a sense of humor about the situation. Her personal stylist talked to TMZ and revealed as much about Lopez's character as her dress did about her anatomy.
Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who dressed J. Lo for Hollywood's biggest night, said she just laughed at everything. The stylists insist she was so secure in the gown that a nip slip would be essentially impossible, and they're convinced (or so they say) that the mysterious dark spot is little more than a shadow. Uh, a shadow of what?
Regardless, if J. Lo doesn't mind (and heaven knows all the men watching didn't mind, either), then neither do we!

The city, with three million inhabitants, has 48 neighbourhoods to explore. But the most visited by tourists are The Abasto, Puerto Madero, San Telmo, Recoleta, Palermo, and La Boca.
Buenos Aires is Argentina's most popular destination, and is home to many of the most iconic landmarks in the country, particularly the Casa Rosada and The Metropolitan Cathedral, both in Plaza de Mayo. La Recoleta Cemetery is visited by many to see the tomb of Eva Peron among many rich and famous citizens.
You'll find many easy options for travel in the city, including six subway lines and over one hundred bus lines and railways. You can also find taxis and private transfers.
Plaza de Mayo
Located in the neighbourhood of Montserrat, The Plaza de Mayo is the main square in the centre of Buenos Aires. Its current name commemorates the May Revolution of 1810 that led to Argentina's independence from Spain in 1816. Several of the city's major landmarks are located around the Plaza including the Casa Rosada, the Presidential Palace where Eva Peron talked to the people from the balcony.
Puerto Madero
Puerto Madero is the most expensive and exclusive neighbourhood in the city where every street has been named after a woman. It represents the largest urban renewal project in Buenos Aires as it was once an area filled with docks and warehouses. It is very popular with both the locals and the tourists as there are five-star hotels, theatres, galleries, multi-national restaurants, multiple bars and cafes and extensive green areas dedicated to leisure activities such as the Natural Park and Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve.
San Telmo
San Telmo is the oldest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires surrounded by cafes, tango parlours and antique shops. When you are in San Telmo you should not miss the Hippopotamus Café, San Telmo Fair and the Museum of Modern Art. On the street you can also find dancers and artists performing for the tourists.
La Boca
The neighbourhood of La Boca became known by the famous "Caminito", a block of streets where only pedestrians are allowed. The houses made of painted metal plates (usually with bright and flashy colours) are famous around the world, along with the artists who show their talent and skill to all visitors. Besides being recognised for its architecture and art, La Boca neighbourhood is the cradle of creation for two of the biggest soccer clubs in the country, the Boca Junior (with the stadium "La Bombonera" located in the neighbourhood) and River Plate (which later moved to the most noble area of Belgrano).
Buenos Aires has more than 3,500 restaurants including fine dining, international fast food, and snack bars as well as a multitude of classic barbecue, even on the sidewalks. Recent years have seen the emergence of new gastronomic neighbourhoods such as Puerto Madero, Palermo Viejo and Las Cañitas.
Experience a special meal at El Biestro, perhaps the most prominent restaurant in Buenos Aires (located in the legendary Hotel Faena) run by Mariano Cid de la Paza, a protégé of the famous Spanish chef, Ferran Adria. You can also enjoy one of the notable coffee shops in the city such as the Café Tortoni with its art nouveau style. Don't forget to try a delicious hot chocolate at La Rambla.
Buenos Aires is world famous for its nightlife with trendy nightclubs such as Niceto Club, one of the city's most trendsetting nightspots. There you can enjoy traditional South American styles and rhythms mixed with electronic. Don't miss Wednesday's underground party at Zizek, one of the best nightclubs in town.
Buenos Aires is also very well known for the tango, danced to a remarkable music that distinguishes the city from any other in the world. If you want to experience a tango, head to the Centro Cultural Torquato Tasso, a venue in which respected artists perform regularly.
Iguazu Falls
Considered a natural heritage of humanity, the Iguazu Falls is located between the National Park of Iguaçu, in Brazil and Iguazú National Park in Misiones, Argentina. Most visitors reach the falls on the Argentina side through the city of Puerto Iguazú. If tourists want to visit the waterfalls on the Brazilian side, they must apply in person for a visa at the Brazilian Consulate in the Argentine city of Puerto Iguazú.
El Calafate is a small town in the province of Santa Cruz, near the border with Chile. The biggest attraction is the extraordinary Glacier National Park, which has the largest glacier in the world: Perito Moreno Glacier.
The City of Mendoza is famous for Mount Aconcagua and its "Malbec" wines. A relaxed place full of beauty with views of the snow-capped Andes in the distance. The recently renovated Wine Route is another classic attraction in town. You can visit several wineries, tasting the wines which have made this region famous worldwide.

At some point or another, most babies and children will suffer through the pain and discomfort of an ear infection. The telltale signs may be all you need to know what's happening… crying, tugging at her ear(s), and temperature are all indicators. In children that have learned to talk, you may hear complaints of throbbing pain or that your child is having trouble hearing. You'll need to get baby to the pediatrician for treatment and relief of an ear infection.
Middle ear infections, or "otitis media," is the most prevalent disease of childhood, second only to respiratory infections. There are an estimated 25 million yearly visits to the pediatrician resulting from ear infections. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of otitis media are important not only because it affects a lot of our children but also because left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like meningitis or brain abscess. Middle ear infections that lead to fluid in the middle ear, known as effusions, could also affect a child's hearing and subsequently, his speech and language development.
Nearly 86% of children have at least one episode of otitis media by 3 years of age, with peaks occurring from 6-36 months and 4-6 years of age. Available medical data shows that the occurrence of ear infections tends to decrease with age but is higher in the following groups: male children; kids belonging to lower socioeconomic groups; black children, and among those with craniofacial anomalies. Incidence is also higher during winter months and early spring.
When an ear is infected, the "eustachian tube" or the canal connecting the middle ear and the back of the throat gets clogged. During healthy periods, this canal is filled with air; however, during cold weather, when other respiratory infections are present, or when a child also has allergies, this tube can get blocked. When the eustachian tube is blocked, fluid accumulates in the middle ear and attracts bacteria that thrives. As this condition progresses, pressure increases on the eardrum, impeding its ability to vibrate properly. This can affect hearing and cause a great deal of pain.
It is wise to see your pediatrician so he can examine your child's ear with an instrument called and "otoscope." After diagnosing him with an ear infection, he may prescribe an antibiotic such as amoxicillin to kill the bacteria and prevent more fluid accumulation. Many times, an antibiotic is not necessary and relief can be attained just by giving acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Antihistamines and decongestants may also be prescribed depending on your child's symptoms and a physical exam. However, in instances where fever persists and pain worsens despite these medications, he should be re-examined to rule out any other serious concurrent infections. Occasionally, if a child has recurrent ear infections, your doctor may suggest insertion of ear tubes to aid in draining trapped fluid from the middle ear.
It's important to note that ear infections are not contagious and oftentimes, a child may return to school or daycare after the symptoms abate; however, it is always important to finish the course of antibiotics prescribed. All patients should be re-evaluated 2 weeks after the start of treatment to ensure that inflammation has resolved and the mobility of the tympanic membrane is back to normal.
Periodic follow up is highly recommended for patients with recurrent ear infections. Your pediatrician will also perform a hearing test on your child to ensure that there are no residual effects on his hearing after the infection.
Recurring medical conditions can be very trying for both children and parents. Trust me, I know it sometimes seems as though you see your pediatrician more than you see your best friend! But hang in there… some of my best friends today are parents that were in my office with their kids once a month of more Silver linings, friends. Silver linings!
I hope you are all having a wonderful, safe, and happy summer!

I've carried and used knives of some kind all my life. Growing up in Washington State, I spent most weekends hunting and fishing. I have a fair understanding of what features make a knife usable. I know that stopping to sharpen a knife while dressing out an elk in 20-degree weather on the side of a mountain is frustrating as well as dang inconvenient. I also know that a knife suitable for trout isn't ideal for salmon.
I started making knives on a regular basis in 1979 after reading Sid Latham's book "Knives and Knife Makers". By 1996, my interest had turned into a passion, and had expanded to forging, so I attend the ABS Bladesmithing School (ABS) in Washington, AR. Not only did I learn the art of forging knives but also forged friendships, which I still cherish today. In 2000, I returned to Washington, AR and took the ABS Damascus course with Bill Moran. In June of 2007, I completed all requirements and became a Journeyman Smith in the American Bladesmith Society.
Every knife I make is constructed as if I was making it for myself. My cutting edges are as hard a practical for the type of knife. I do my own heat-treating, and test every knife before it leaves the shop. I make forged and stock removal blades using materials best suited to the task intended for the knife. I prefer exotic hardwoods and natural materials for handles, but use Micarta and stabilized woods where more appropriate. I forge 5160, 1084, 1095 and 52100 carbon steels, I stock remove D2, ATS-34, 440C and O1. I make my own Damascus (pattern welded) steel. My knives are constructed with the idea that whether they are working knives or fantasy knives they are still knives -- and should be able to function as such.
I believe very strongly in sole authorship. I forge, grind, heat treat, finish and embellish all my knives myself. I do most of my own leatherwork. If the knife does not perform, I cannot blame it on anyone else! Most of my knives are "one-of-a-kind working knives with bragging rites". My goal is to make knives so fine that if you pick one up, you would rather part with the money than the knife!

The heart pumps blood throughout the body. It is located in the thorax.
The type and timing of surgical repair depends on the child's condition and the type and severity of heart defects.
In general, symptoms that indicate that surgery is needed are:
An incision may be made through the breastbone (sternum) and between the lungs (mediastinum) while the child is deep asleep and pain-free (under general anesthesia). For some heart defect repairs, the incision is made on the side of the chest, between the ribs (thoracotomy) instead of through the breastbone. Heart-lung bypass may be needed. Tubes are used to re-route the blood through a special pump that adds oxygen to the blood and keeps it warm and moving through the rest of the body while the repair is being done.
Most children need to stay in the Intensive Care Unit for 3 to 7 days and stay in the hospital for 5 to 14 days. By the time the child is transferred out of the intensive care unit, most of the tubes and wires have been removed and he is encouraged to resume many of his daily activities. At the time of discharge, the parents are instructed on activity, how to care for the incision and how to give medications their child may need to take such as Digoxin, Lasix, Aldactone and Coumadin. The child needs at least several more weeks at home to recover.


text: This will boil down to a questions eventually, but I need to give some background first. We are a small group doing CFD, and when we several years ago realized that beowulfs would be the right choice for us we decided to extend our computational capabilities gradually. Every year, or every second year we bought two gigabit switches and a bunch of nodes connected to these switches. One of the switches is used for mpi communications and one for connecting the nodes to a fileserver and a master node. As of today we have five "subclusters", all connected to the same filserver and master node (torque/maui is used to distribute the jobs on the different subclusters). This has worked out great for us, and we do believe the strategy of buying gradually has been advantageous to us (instead of doing larger purchases less often), and we want to continue extending our hardware in this fashion. Up till now we have not been hurt by the fact that we have a single fileserver (connected to a bunch of raided drives), but we anticipate there will be issues when we further extend the number of nodes. And we plan on building a separate "infiniband storage network" (consisting of a 24 DDR switch) and connect a number of "gluster nodes" to it. Each subcluster will then be connected to this "infiniband storage network" via one (or maybe several) ports. However, we will still limit the jobs to run within there separate subcluster and we are going to accept lower bandwidth between the subclusters. By doing this we gain the following: (i) We can get more computational nodes, since we are limiting the number of ports used to connect the switches to each other. (ii) For our application I/O is not as demanding as the "mpi-communiction" but we are still getting - hopefully - acceptable I/O performance. (iii) We can extend our storage by adding more "gluster nodes" to the "infiniband storage network" when needed. (iv) We can continue adding subclusters when we have the money. And we can also remove old ones when they "cost" too much (in terms of electricity/performance, maintenance etc.). Since we havent worked with infiniband before, the question is simply if there could be issues with this approach? Regards, and thanks, /jon

Building credit can be tricky. If you don't have a credit history, it's hard to get a loan, a credit card or even an apartment.
But how are you supposed to show a history of responsible repayment if no one will give you credit in the first place?
To have a FICO score, for example, you need at least one account that's been open six months or longer, and you need at least one creditor reporting your activity to the credit bureaus in the last six months. (A VantageScore, from FICO's biggest competitor, can be generated more quickly.)
Several tools can help you establish a credit history: secured credit cards, a credit-builder loan, a co-signed credit card or loan, or authorized user status on another person's credit card.
Whichever you choose, make sure you use it in a way that will eventually earn you a good credit score.
Know where your credit standsBuild your credit with personalized, actionable tips. We'll help you monitor your credit and track your progress.
Five ways you can establish credit
1. Apply for a secured credit card
If you're building your credit score from scratch, you'll likely need to start with a secured credit card. A secured card is backed by a cash deposit you make upfront; the deposit amount is usually the same as your credit limit.
You'll use the card like any other credit card: Buy things, make a payment on or before the due date, incur interest if you don't pay your balance in full. Your cash deposit is used as collateral if you fail to make payments. You'll receive your deposit back when you close the account.
NerdWallet regularly reviews and ranks secured credit card options.
Secured credit cards aren't meant to be used forever. The purpose of a secured card is to qualify for a card without a deposit.
Secured credit cards aren't meant to be used forever. The purpose of a secured card is to build your credit enough to qualify for an unsecured card — a card without a deposit and with better benefits. Choose a secured card with a low annual fee and make sure it reports to all three credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
2. Apply for a credit-builder loan or A Secured loan
A credit-builder loan is exactly what it sounds like — its sole purpose is to help people build credit.
Typically, the money you borrow is held by the lender in an account and not released to you until the loan is repaid. It's a forced savings program of sorts, and your payments are reported to credit bureaus. These loans are most often offered by credit unions or community banks; at least one lender offers them online.
Another option: If you have money on deposit in a bank or credit union, see about a secured loan for credit-building. With these, the collateral is money in your account or certificate of deposit. The interest rate is typically a bit higher than the interest you're earning on the account, but it may be significantly lower than your other options.
3. Get a co-signer
It's also possible to get a loan or an unsecured credit card using a co-signer. But be sure that you and the co-signer understand that the co-signer is on the hook for the full amount owed if you don't pay. (See "What You Need to Know About Co-signing.")
4. Become an authorized user on someone else's credit card
A family member or significant other may be willing to add you as an authorized user on his or her card. As an authorized user, you'll enjoy access to a credit card and you'll build credit history, but you aren't legally obligated to pay for your charges.
Find out whether the card issuer reports authorized user activity to the credit bureaus.
Ask the primary cardholder to find out whether the card issuer reports authorized user activity to the credit bureaus. That activity generally is reported, but you'll want to make sure — otherwise your credit-building efforts may be wasted.
You should come to an agreement on how you'll use the card before you're added as an authorized user. If the primary cardholder expects you to pay your share, make sure you do so even though you aren't legally obligated.
5. Get credit for the rent you pay
Rent-reporting services such as Rental Kharma and RentTrack take a bill you are already paying and put it on your credit report, helping to build a positive history of on-time payments. Not every credit score takes these payments into account, but some do, and that may be enough to get a loan or credit card that firmly establishes your credit history for all lenders.
Build your score with good habits
Building a good credit score takes time, probably at least six months of on-time payments.
Practice these good credit habits to build your score and show that you're creditworthy:
- Make 100% of your payments on time, not only with credit accounts but also with other accounts, such as utility bills. Bills that go unpaid may be sold to a collection agency, which will seriously hurt your credit.
- Keep your credit utilization low — utilization is your balance when compared to your limit. We recommend paying in full each month, but if do you carry a balance don't let it exceed 30% of your credit limit.
- Avoid opening too many new accounts at once; new accounts lower your average account age, which makes up part of your credit score.
- Keep accounts open for as long as possible. Unless one of your unused cards has an annual fee, you should keep them all open and active for the sake of your length of payment history and credit utilization.
- Check each of your credit reports annually for errors and discrepancies.
Learn how to check your credit scores and reports
A credit report is a record of how you've used credit in the past. Your credit scores estimate how you'll handle credit in the future, using the information in your credit reports. You'll want to monitor both to watch for errors and to see your credit-building efforts pay off.
Credit reports show how you've used credit in the past. Scores use that data to estimate how you'll handle credit in the future.
Several personal finance websites, including NerdWallet, offer a free credit score. Look for a site that also offers free credit report information (NerdWallet does), as well as educational tools such as a credit score simulator.
Several credit card issuers print FICO scores on customers' monthly statements and allow online access as well. Some card issuers offer free scores to anyone, cardholder or not. Discover, for example, offers a free FICO score at CreditScorecard.com.
