What our patients are saying
“
Absolutely the best ever. Every one of their team I interacted with were truly the best of the best – from the front desk staff who worked hard to find me a quick appointment that worked and even checked on my insurance to see what I had coverage for – to my hygienist Carol who is hands down the greatest hygienist I’ve ever had – to the dentist who is more thorough and caring than I could have imagined.
This is a great office. I am usually scared of dentists because of my tooth sensitivity; they were so gentle that I never squirmed once nor did I feel any discomfort. Thank you to all the staff for your kindness and professionalism.
My dentist, hygienist and the other staff are the best in my community. They answer all my questions and are very knowledgeable about everything I ask. Thanks so much Chippewa Center for Dental Excellence, you “ROCK.”
