Have gone to them for years. Dr. Moss and staff are very professional, friendly, take the time to answer questions and explain what they are doing. Highly recommend.

The employees are always friendly, engaging and efficient. Dr. Hess has been thorough and gentle. He explains the things I don’t understand in layman’s terms. I’ve referred people to this office and will continue to do so. A great office full of professionals!

The cleanings and check-up were fine. I don't appreciate seeing a charge for cancer screening than I did not ask for, no one asked if I wanted it, and I didn't notice that anything different was done than they did over the last 30 years. Their billing is horrible! Charges on the dental bill don't match what is submitted to the insurance company. One bill didn't even have all the charges listed that were submitted to the insurance company. Billing in general has been a constant frustration.

After a car accident where 2 teeth were fractured and one was completely broken, I needed urgent dental care. At Emerald West Dental they gave me an appointment very quickly and the attention of all the staff was very friendly, respectful, and professional. In addition, it has bilingual staff who helped me at all times to understand the medical and administrative procedures. Thank you very much, I really appreciate what you did for me.

Ellen is always the best and I look forward to seeing her.

First time and I was very impressed. I knew my dentist would be because I’ve been with him before at another location. I was also impressed with the staff and the help they gave me. Very impressive..

There is No Dentist anywhere As Great as Dr Chad Hess !!!!
Aug 28, 2023
I was happy to have been able to get an appointment right away, as I was having two issues that needed care pretty much on an emergency basis. I was happy too, that the technology was there to get a permanent crown on the same day, rather than having a temporary and then having to go back for a permanent one. Thanks!

They make going to the dentist a positive experience. Professional, fun, and caring staff.

10 years ago, another dentist wanted to send my son to the hospital and use general anesthesia to fill two tiny cavities. Dr. Hess was willing to fill them in the office with me by my 2-year-old’s side for comfort. We haven’t gone to another dental practice since. We’ve seen both Dr. Hess and Dr. Moss and we have been very happy with both! I’ve referred friends and they have all been happy customers too.

We have been seeing Emerald West and their predecessor Dr. Mathis for many years, to the point that they have become family. Their skill and talent are highly professional and are still very personable.

Ali was great. I enjoyed her insights. Dr. Hess and his assistant did a great job in making sure I was taken care of. Have Stacy call me when she is all healed. :)
Oct 31, 2019
I can't begin to say thank you for the excellent care Dr. Moss and Sherry gave my 93 year old mother. She was a big challenge for new dentures and Dr. Moss and Sherry were patient, kind, gentle and gave her back the most beautiful of smiles. The entire office staff is wonderful. They set the standard for excellence in skill and delivery. We are so very happy with my Mom's outcome, and our experience with this team.

Emerald West Dental treats patients royally! Staff is cheerful, efficient, knowledgeable, and caring. Knowing my dental care is in such good hands is much appreciated. Thank you!
Oct 11, 2019
Both my wife and I appreciated the overall experience we received from Dr. Hess's office. Naomi does such great job for us. She makes us feel both welcome, and important, and takes the time to explain things, which we very much appreciate. Every staff person that we've dealt with, at Emerald Dental, has been kind and helpful.
Oct 5, 2019
Outstanding dental office! Staff is always professional and kind. I'm thankful for the dental care my family and I have received from every employee in this office. I'm especially grateful for Ellen and Dr. Hess who have been there for our dental health needs for over 40 years. I have referred a number of patients over the years and will continue to do so.
Oct 2, 2019
Very professional and friendly office! The staff is great.

It's always a pleasure coming to my dental appointments at Emerald West. I generally love dental appointments, but it's always more pleasant than others I've been to in the past.

Jul 17, 2019
I have had many dentists in my life. I will never read a review about one again. I will never ask a friend about whom he uses and I will never google "Dentists near me" ever again. Dr. Hesss and his assistant Shari are the absolute best. They actually asked if I was ok and if there was anything they could do to make me more comfortable. They actually cared! Excellent work, excellent bedside manor and excellent atmosphere. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the staff up front. Wow! Always greated me by my first name when I walked in. It was as though we were friends for years. If i ever called in about pain, they immediately got me in to take care of it. They REALLY care. I'm done searching. I have found my dental office, Dr. and staff. Thank you for how you make me feel
Jul 17, 2019
Love the minute I walk in the door and get greeted by the receptionists! Excellent dental care! Won't go anywhere else!😁
Jun 26, 2019
I was treated with care and respect. I had everything explained to me. I was able to express my concerns and ask questions and get clear answers.
Jun 20, 2019
Ellen Rocks, best in class! Thanks Dr. Hess for filling in. It was a good visit Everyone makes the business a welcoming place to go to.
Jun 16, 2019
If you want great dental care and people who care about your wellbeing this is the place to go. I highly recommend Emerald West Dental.
Jun 13, 2019
I have always seen Kelsi for my cleanings, and always look forward to the appointment. We always manage to have a nice "catch-up" chat, even though my mouth is wide-open most of the time! Sometimes Sam David is there, too, and we always have a few laughs and good conversation. Kelsi is always very professional, yet is funny, caring and sweet ! We love you, Kelsi, and happy early birthday to you ~
May 1, 2019
The very best dental care I have ever received in 71 years.
Apr 4, 2019
Excellent time at Emerald West. They have been very kind and respectful to our entire family. I would definitely recommend visiting Dr. Hess's office. I have had cleanings, fillings, root canals, braces, and cosmetic work done either by myself or my family and they have been great to work with.
Mar 29, 2019
Friendly office staff & great dental work!
Mar 21, 2019

Mar 20, 2019
Love Emerald West Dental, Doctor Hess & Ellen! We've been going to Dr. Hess for 27? years. Our four children are grown, now, but Dr. Hess is the only dentist our children went to, and he was great with all of them.
Feb 27, 2019
I called late Friday afternoon and got in 30 minutes later. Thank you Nancy and Ellen!
Feb 11, 2019
I was referred to Dr. Hess and the Emerald West team by a friend. I was a bit nervous in thinking about the transition, since I had come from a dentist that I had been happy with for the past 20 yrs. I am completely happy with the transition. My initial contact was with Michelle who explained my insurance coverage, set in motion the transfer of my dental records their office, set me up with an appointment the next week, and got me in to replace the first of two crowns that were starting to hurt. Dr. Hess, Naiomi, and Erika are all very competent, welcoming and respectful not only of me, but of each other. That tells me a lot. Two weeks later the work on both crowns is complete. What a relief. This is an up to date office and I like how it is run. This dental practice has it's act together, and again I would recommend them to anyone. My spouse is now in the process of becoming a patient based on my experience. Thank you for taking care of me.
Feb 10, 2019
This was my first dental appointment in years so I was a little nervous as to how comfortable the experience would be. I was pleasantly surprised. The woman at the front desk was friendly. The office was very clean and calming. When I was called back the hygienist was very polite, calming and professional. At the end of my appointment, my payment options were explained to me and I was provided a sheet of paper that listed out the prices of my cavity filling(s) and what my insurance would cover that way I had a complete understanding. I had an awesome first visit here. The staff was all great and I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Feb 2, 2019
Dr. Hess and Dr. Moss, My appointment with Naomi and my cleaning is always a great experience as Naomi is very detailed in her review of my teeth and identifies areas of concern. Naomi is patient, detailed, cautious and positive, all features you would like in a very experienced dental hygienists for cleanings. Naomi is interested in others, polite and sociable, also features found in a very experienced hygienist. I have and will in the future promote Naomi’s cleaning care to friends and family, I would recommend Naomi to anyone. As you are both aware, I have been with Emerald West Dental for roughly 25 years, I have experience with several other hygienists at your office and Naomi is your top hygienist.
Jan 24, 2019
The staff is great, and Ellen is wonderful!

Jul 12, 2018
Dr Chad Hess has been my dentist for many years. I love the work he does on my teeth. Love the staff. Especially love Ellen, who cleans my teeth and is like having a best friend at the office! Love Jane in bookkeeping cause she's been there a long time too, along with Sherry(forgive me if I spelled it wrong), one of his forever assistants! I actually look forward to every appointment to see everyone and to catch up on things from the last visit. Doctor Moss is great too when Dr Hess is busy or if it's an emergency!
Jun 21, 2018
Friendly, polite, professional, quick. Can’t ask for more.
Jun 20, 2018
When looking for a new dentist the first priority is the office location because I don't like to drive miles away for the appointment. Also I have no way of knowing the service I will be getting until I try. I do trust the online rating so I picked Emerald West Dental. All in all was good experience the first time and my search for dentist is done.
Jun 12, 2018
I have been a patient here for over 20 years. Dr. Hess and Dr. Moss are the best. My daughter also was a patient since she was a little girl. She loved this place so much she is now in the Dental profession herself.
Jun 5, 2018
I have been a patient with Dr. Hess and Ellen for several years. The front office staff is always so pleasant and helpful, and the office is beautiful and clean. I always look forward to my 6 month checkup and cleaning! It's important to me to have a dentist who really cares about me and my dental health! Thank you Dr. Hess and Ellen!
May 25, 2018
I always feel that I am under the best of care when i'm at Emerald West. Kelsie is the best and Dr. Moss is awesome - always caring and understanding. Everyone there knows what a baby I am when it comes to pain, and they all do their utmost to help to avoid it! The ladies at the front desk - Jane, Sam, Michelle - always so pleasant and willing to work with us. We now live in Mountain Home, but wouldn't think of going to any other dentist.
May 24, 2018
Your office always treats your patients with kindness and respect. I no longer dread going to the dentist.
May 23, 2018
Everyone in the office is very professional. I always feel like I receive great service.
Apr 26, 2018
By far the best dental outfit I have ever been to! The dentists and hygienists are outstanding and have just the right touch. They use the latest technology and my visits are always a positive experience. - Brian
Apr 20, 2018
Nicholas got away without Dr. Moss asking about his bad tooth even though the hygienist who cleaned his teeth knew about it. It's been bothering him for years and doesn't trust that dentists will fix it!
Apr 17, 2018
Excellent care and services. Great staff!
Apr 17, 2018
Emerald Dental is a great office. From the front desk, all the way to Dr Hess, everyone is very professional and excellent at their jobs.
Mar 10, 2018
I would highly recommend Dr. Chad Hess and his staff to my family, friends and even strangers. In fact I have. I recently had four crowns done on my front teeth. They turned out beautiful. So happy with the care I received. Dr Chad Hess and his staff have my full confidence. Couldn't find a more professional, caring, friendly, organized team.
Feb 27, 2018
Great experience! i am going to switch to your practice going forward. thank you for accomodating my schedule (seeing you on a friday) and being so gentle. I really appreciated the service and guidance.

Excellent service Dr. Moss and entire staff from check in to check out!
Jan 31, 2018
After recently moving to Idaho I had my first visit at Emerald West Dental. All staff were very professional and made me feel like a valued patient. The hygienist made me feel very comfortable and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. I was impressed that they had all the latest equipment and tools for giving good care. Family members recommended this dental office and I am happy I chose to go there too.
Jan 26, 2018
Always excellent service! Enjoyable staff! Always look forward to my visits!
Dec 13, 2017
Was surprised that I was not asked if I had taken my pills prior to my appointment because of earlier surgeries.
Nov 30, 2017
Ellen is a blessing and I'm sorry I only see her twice a year. Dr. Moss is great.

Excellent as always. Thank you very much.
Aug 22, 2017
Coming from another State I relied on the reviews. I am so happy I did. I found the staff to be very welcoming. Everyone was so friendly, yet professional. Allie did a great job cleaning my teeth. Dr. Hess was great. I felt he would be the right dentist to take care of my future needs. Meaning for one veneers for my front teeth. I never felt pressured in taking care of this.
Aug 11, 2017
Everyone was great. Always appreciate the great service.
Aug 3, 2017
I received excellent care and information.
Aug 2, 2017
I was referred to this office as a 19 year old when I moved to the area. Both Dr. Hess and Dr. Moss have been outstanding with my care and now the care of my entire family. I have referred them to many people moving into the area. They have been taking care of me and my family for over 30 years.
Jul 30, 2017
My time with Ellen is always sublime.
Jul 28, 2017
As always excellent service and we really appreciate you working with us to fit our schedule.
Jul 18, 2017
Excellent serviced, as always.
Jul 12, 2017
It's the best! I have gone to Emerald West dentists for decades and will never go anywhere else. Dr. Hess, Ellen (dental hygienist), Sherri (dental specialist), and other staff have been there for years. When I go in for dental work, it's like visiting family, and they treat me like a member of the family, too.
Jul 9, 2017
My wife and I love Kelsi and Dr Hess!
Jun 22, 2017
Dr. Hess is the best! My dental asst. was awesome on my last visit. Very professional office and setting. Really good people who know what they are doing and give you the best dental work any where. David
Jun 21, 2017
Everyone always make me feel like part of the family, Ellen even introduced my 3.5 year old granddaughter to the fun experience of going to the dentist.
Jun 13, 2017
The best dental office in town...from the front office staff to the dentist and hygienist! If you are fearful of going to the dentist, this is the place to go as they understand your fear!
Jun 8, 2017
Thanks to Jackie I enjoy my dental visit. Shirley
May 18, 2017
Kelsi always does a great job and always checks if I have any concerns or changes. I appreciate her gentleness when cleaning my teeth.

Apr 12, 2017
The support staff knowledgeable & always wonderful with a smile. My visit was excellent as & I can't say enough how great everyone is. Thank you all.
Apr 5, 2017
Chad, I felt uncomfortable sharing this with you on Thursday morning but the fill in for my teeth cleaning was not good. I think I understood that she was there on an emergency basis. She was rough and hurt this old guy. Please tell me Kelsey will be there for my next appointment.
Mar 31, 2017
Everybody there is great! I have a lot of fun and look forward to my next visit. Thank you.
Mar 17, 2017
Emerald West Dental knowsh how to operate a professional, efficient office, yet remain customer friendly. Thank you!

Great but way to expensive
Mar 1, 2017
I've been Dr. Hess' patient for over 10 years and have pleased with all the work he's done on my teeth. Dr. Hess and the entire staff are so personable and helpful. My orthodontist once said that my crown made by Dr. Hess was like looking at art because it was done so well.
Feb 27, 2017
I have always had a positive experience at Emerald West Dental. Dr. Moss and his staff really did a nice job on my last crown. It looks great and has been completely trouble free.
Feb 24, 2017
This a very professional, caring dentistry! Great staff all the way around.
Feb 9, 2017
I am incredibly impressed with Emerald West Dental! Not only were they happy to help out with my kids while I was getting my exam and teeth cleaned, they did a thorough job and explained everything they were doing. Theyre kind and you can tell they actually love what they do. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my experience was a good one. The doctor was informative, kind and very helpful with my treatment plan. I would definitely recommend them!
Feb 3, 2017
I'm patient of this place over 10 years and I like and love professionalism and service that's provided for me every time thank you all.
Jan 30, 2017
As always with Dr. Moss, an excellent appointment.
Jan 29, 2017
This is a great dental practice! They were timely, efficient, friendly, skilled and reasonably priced. Our visits for 3 of us cost the same as I had previously paid at another office for just 2 similar visits. The doctors and staff were great with kids, and very personable to me as well. I've tried several dental offices since moving to Boise; we'll be staying with Emerald West!
Jan 4, 2017
Excellent experience as is always the case. Dr. Moss and Ali are wonderful to work with.

Coming to a new city can cause anxiety in finding the right dentist. Dr. Hess and his team have taken that stress away. They are friendly, efficient, and thorough. Thank you!
Sep 7, 2016
Everybody is great. Give them all a Gold Star or two. John Quapp
Aug 31, 2016
The dental hygienist was friendly and nice, did a good job cleaning, and did it quickly too. She worked with me to make sure I understood my insurance situation, which I had misunderstood originally, so I appreciated that. The first time I went in I had some cavities (it had been a while), and the dentist was quick about doing fillings and checking up on them. I haven't had any problems with them. I showed up a bit early to my appointment, and was able to get started a bit early, which was nice.
Aug 26, 2016
I always love catching up with Ally. I actually look forward to dental visits.
Aug 19, 2016
Love your new office! Ellen gave me a tour & I found it to be absolutely wonderful! I would have killed to have been able to work in an office like yours when I was a practicing dental assistant many years ago! As always, the staff is top notch! I missed you at the office, Dr. Hess! Hope you took home the top prize for your water skiing competition! :)
Aug 10, 2016
The professional people at this dentistry are truly great! I have always treated with respect and understanding. All procedures are explained to me so that I understand! I highly recommend Emerald West Dentistry to everyone! 5 stars!!!!
Aug 9, 2016
I still cannot believe Dr Hess did a root canal in one hour-really. The office is state of the art making the experience amazing and easy.
Jul 30, 2016
Great service and dental cleaning done. The pharmacy didn't have the prescription when I went to pick it up. I didn't get there until after hours so I had Jeff Davis call it in for me.
Jul 27, 2016
Very friendly, helpful staff with cheery smiles.
Jul 21, 2016
Wouldn't go anywhere else. Great dentist & staff. Welcoming to anyone that walks through the door!
Jul 9, 2016
You couldn't ask for a better Dentist/Staff with the best dental care & support. The staff is just exceptional with always a smile as you walk in. The Emerald West Family Dentistry is the Best. And a special thank you to the Financial Team & my Hygenist.
