What made me interested in dentistry was, one, it was a great way to help people. Lucked into making some good decisions in the early stages of my career, and I don’t regret what I’ve done. It’s been a great ride. I’ve been doing this for 43 years now, and I’ve had the privilege of having two of my three children also pursue careers in dentistry, and currently, I have my youngest practicing with me.
It’s always a great feeling to be able to help someone either get out of pain, fix a concern that they have, or to improve their smile, and they are very grateful for what you’re able to do for them. And, of course, it’s always great to be able to do those things and not cause that person to have discomfort and try to allay their fears because a lot of people have significant deep fear of going to the dentist from either previous experiences or just are afraid of it.
It’s very rewarding being able to help people. I like patients to be involved in their treatment and decision-making and I’m just not trying to sell them something or tell them, “This is what you have to do.” It’s sort of a co-diagnosis and a co-treatment plan, and so they’re on board with whatever we’re gonna do but the more they get to know you, the more comfortable they are in the office and you can allay a lot of those fears that they may have lurking around in the back of their mind.

I have been going to this dentist office for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. I even live downtown Houston and still make the extra drive. The staff always has a smile on their face. Very kind and warm atmosphere. My dental hygienist is the best!! From her bubbly personality, to her quick and skilled cleanings, she makes it a enjoyable experience.
Dr Bautsch has great bedside manner and does a great job at making you feel comfortable.
Dr. Bautsch and his team is very compassionate and caring for me and my family. He makes sure he explains everything prior to procedure. He was very attentive to details like my fear of shots and made sure I did not feel pain or fear. I will always go back to them for all my dental care. Note I did a root canal and crown and I am very satisfied. Thank you for caring ❤️👍
Most people avoid going to the dentist but not me. I love going to mine. Between both Dr. Bautsch’s and the entire staff I’m treated like an old friend. The atmosphere is both professional and comfortable. The dental work done there is top notch and off the chart. You couldn’t find a better office if you looked for 100 years. Thank you for the excellent dental experience.
