Douglas J Hauck, DDS

I have been going to Dr Hauck for a number of years. Genetically I was given some pretty bad teeth and a number of dentists I saw prior to Dr Hauck didn’t know what to do for me and some recommended treatment that I just couldn’t seem to agree with. Frankenstein stuff, no kidding.
Dr Hauck and his staff have always been very kind and professional which makes me feel like I can trust in there treatment plan and the execution of there dental work, which I have had a lot of.
A few negative reviews implied high price…
Short answer; «You get what you pay for.»
Long answer, ask me in person but essentially I go to TJ for tacos not dentistry to save money. Price is important but these are my teeth.
Thx Dr. Hauck and Staff

I came into Dr. Hauck’s office for the first time last week and my experience was the best I have had yet with any dentist I’ve gone to. I have been to 7 different doctors for my TMJ symptoms and found little to no resolution for my pain. Dr. Hauck was the first person to take the time to really understand what I was feeling and explain to me what was going on in my body. He got me going right away on a TENS machine and fitted me for an appliance. Yesterday morning I got my mouth guard from Dr. Hauck and just after 24 hours I feel like a different person! Today was the first day in three weeks that I woke up without pain. Normally speaking makes it even worse, and I have been speaking with no problem today with my guard in. I am so grateful to have had treatment here. There is hope for all of you TMJ sufferers! This guy is the real deal! I HIGHLY recommend him.

Best dentist ever!!! My experiences with other dentists were, well, in one word… painful! When I first walked in the girl at the desk greeted me with a friendly smile and made me feel comfortable. The hygienist is gentle and very nice.
My first visit with Dr. Hauck was to get a crown, which in the past was always a dreaded experience. This time… no pain! It was over before I knew it!
I highly recommend Dr. Hauck, as he was recommended to me by a very satisfied patient!

Wow! Best experience ever great friendly staff. I spent 3 years and 4 different dentist in Orange County before I found this practice. They make you feel like they do only things that are best for you and not there financial interest! Love this place and the staff!!! And this says nothing about his skills as a dentist just simply the best!!!

Best in the Business! His staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Dr. Doug does the best work in So Cal.

Dr. Doug (Hauck) has been my dentist for several years now and I’m not sure what I like more, his excellent dentistry or his and his staff’s personalities. I’ve been to many dentist in the Newport Beach area and hands-​down Dr. Hauck is by far the best and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Doug and his staff are first rate. Referred to me by a top Beverly Hills dentist who said I should visit him to adjust my veneers. He shaped my top front veneers by giving them just the right amount of negative space to look their most natural. The technical precision and artistry seen only in the very best cosmetic dentists.

Dr. Hauck’s office was great from the moment I walked in. The waiting room was comfortable, though I didn’t have to wait long, as they called me in right at my appointment time. He was very knowledgable and put my anxieties at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Hauck.

As idyllic as Newport Beach is, there is a monster practicing dentistry here. BEWARE. BE VERY AFRAID. Like the other review posted here my experience with Dr Hauck was traumatic and deeply troubling.
this «Doctor» tried to rip me off! I went in for a checkup which resulted in replacing two fillings and a crown. No estimate or quotation was given in advance. When I went to leave I was told the bill would be $ 5,000. $ 5,000 for such minor work, can you believe it? After much complaining and negotiating on my part, he agreed to do the work for free, to appease me. Well, shortly thereafter i visited my friend in San Francisco who happens to be a dentist. At my initial consultation with her, she found the Dr. Hauck did a half ass job and left an opening in the crown that was abscessing! She showed me the X-​Ray. Was this sloppy dentistry or malicious intent? I don’t know, but I have my suspicions.

I love love love Dr. Hauck and his team!
They gave me the smile i never thought I could have… practically pain free and super fast!!! Thank you so much!!!
Totally worth the drive for me (driving from LA to Newport)

Dr. Hauck has been my dentist for nearly the past eight or so years. He has replaced my front 8 teeth with veneers and I was so comfortable to have him and his expert staff do the exquisite job on my teeth as they did on my brother’s teeth.
This office has been cleaning my teeth ever since. They are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and flexible with schedules and insurance coverage. Rest assured if you go to Dr. Hauck, your smile is in the right hands and your search for dentists will end with this amazing office. I have had a great longstanding relationship with Dr. Hauck, he is the very best and treats us right!

I am very picky when it comes to my dentist. A close family friend mentioned that Dr. Hauck was the best in the area, so I decided to go in for a consultation. For starters, his office was very clean and organized, and his entire staff was very warm and welcoming. It was pretty easy to find parking on the street, but be aware of street cleaning days! My first impression of Dr. Hauck was that he seemed like a nice, down to earth, honest dentist who genuinely cares about the well being of his patients. Would highly recommend seeing this guy!

I just moved into the area and a friend of mine recommended Dr. Hauck. His staff is very friendly and his office is so inviting, like a page out of a magazine.
What I like about Dr. Hauck is that he expressed a great deal of passion and is reasonably priced.

Friendly and professional staff, made the experience very worthwhile. It was like a party in my mouth. All joking aside, trips to the dentist aren’t supposed to fun but I had a great time joking with the staff and felt almost no pain at all (which is a considerable feat for me). Overall 5 stars for sure.

I have been waiting over 10 years to tell my horror story about Dr. Hauck, which occurred at his office in Beverly Hills, shortly after I moved to Los Angeles. I had just started graduate school at USC and Dr. Hauck was super chummy with me, promising that he’d give me a good deal since I was a poor student without dental insurance attending his alma mater. He said that he needed to put partial crowns on two back teeth, but he never said how much they would cost. On the day that he was supposed to do the work, I explicitly asked what the price would be, but somehow we got to talking (perhaps he was telling me about one of his celebrity clients, something he seems particularly proud of sharing) and he never got around to telling me (in retrospect, it was absolutely strategic on his part). When I walked out, I was handed a bill for $ 3000 (even by today’s standards, $ 3000 for two partials seems steep). I was so shocked that I started crying. I couldn’t afford it, so they put me on a payment plan, but the office pretty much harassed me until I paid it off. Then, if you can believe it, one of the crowns fell out in just a little over a year! I attempted to report my experience to the Dental Board of California, but Hauck wasn’t a member, so I was unable to register a complaint. Now, thanks to Unilocal,I can finally tell the world that this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office and that Hauck has the ethics of a used car salesman.

I can’t speak enough about Dr. Hauck and his the entire staff. I’ve had 3 different dentists in Newport Beach since I was born here 36yrs. ago and I the work performed by himself and his hygienists has always been unparalleled! I have and always will recommend friends and family to his practice. I have always been 100% satisfied. Thanks to all you!

Dr. Hauck really knows his stuff… he makes you feel comfortable and makes sure all your questions are answered. He doesn’t make you feel rushed! And his work speaks for himself. So glad my tennis partner referred me to him ;-)
