To me, being a dentist is more than just filling cavities. It's about improving the smiles and lives of my patients. For over 28 years, I've dedicated myself to going above and beyond to ensure my patients' health and satisfaction. Above all, I treat each patient like a member of my family.
I began my education at Eastern Connecticut State University for my undergraduate degree, followed by Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for my Doctorate of Dental Medicine.Since graduating, I have actively pursued continuing education in cosmetic dentistry and computer-generated crowns, as well as many new techniques that dentistry has to offer.

I’m an elderly patient that I had the opportunity to have Dr Ryan Finnegan work on my crown.He was very professional, yet personal while making me feel comfortable during my crown procedure.Cant say enough good about him.He truly cared about my well being along with doing everything he could to help me with my situation.Anyone looking for a good dentist these days that aren’t puppy mills then you will find a home here.

This place is so clean- they have the best covid-19 cleaning plan I have seen- the waiting room is very distanced from one chair to the other, and once you get up, they immediately clean your chair. As a new patient, I was very impressed. I got a night-guard and I was expecting weeks for it to be made, but they made it in house and it was ready for me to pick up within 24 hours.

So I typically love this dentist but I've been trying to reach them for the last few weeks to see if I can get in to have a cracked filling fixed. I called left a voicemail they called me back left me a voicemail and I've been trying to call back ever since. I know with all the craziness going on its difficult but this tooth is very sharp and I need it fixed. I'll try to call again after the holiday and hopefully I can get in before I have to go the next route and find another dentist.

I highly recommend Branford Dental Care. The reality is no one really likes going to the dentist yet, their dedication to overall patient satisfaction is unlike any other practice I've seen. Whether its their use of text messages to communicate or their high tech equipment, my patient experience has always been amazing. In addition, my dental hygienist, Kathy is fantastic. Does a great job and it always patient and kind. It's so good, I've started to bring my son there as well.

Conveniently located near the Branford green, with free parking on street and in the back. The office is clean and pleasant, and the front-desk staff friendly and efficient. The dental hygienist was professional and thorough, and they take my insurance - which is a huge plus. The dentists are kind and competent. The entire staff is also great with my 8-year old daughter. Win, win, win.

Dr. Hacker and my dental hygienist Kathy were terrific. The office has a great relaxing feel and the staff does a great job walking you through each phase of your visit, from arrival, procedure, insurance/billing to making sure you've scheduled your next appointment. Their process definitely takes the intimidation out of going to the dentist, highly recommend!!
