Dr. Adam S. Haws
Dr. Adam S. Haws opened his dental practice in the Vintage Walk Suite 101 in February 2008. A few years later he purchased Suite 102 next door and added on to his dental office. Now 1800 square feet, there are now five patient operatories. He has two of the best hygienists around, Brooke and Debbie. Two fabulous dental assistants, Selena and Alexandra and two super women up at the front desk, Liz and Kelsi. They keep the office running smoothly answering phones, greeting patients and processing insurance claims.
Dr. Haws and his wife Camene and four children (Keller 14, Tessa 12, Cooper 8 ,and Ainsley 5) have lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for nine years. They love living and being a part of such an amazing community. Hanging on the wall in the office are the words "Because I have been given much I to must give." They feel so blessed to live in the community they enjoy and giving back to those who live and work in our community. Each year Dr. Haws chooses a Makeover Contestant and gives them the gift of a new smile absolutely free. He has blessed the lives of eight members of our community so far. Dr. Haws is also a huge sports fan and loves supporting youth sports in our valley. Each year at the beginning of football season he provides the High School Pirate football and YFL teams free mouth guards to properly protect their teeth.
Thank you, Dr. Haws for all you do for the community and for your support of the Buellton Chamber.
