Dr. Grutzner is amazing!! If you are looking for an endodontist your search is over. My family and…read moreI have awful teeth and we have all seen Dr. Grutzner. Each time the process is painless and actually pleasant because Eric is such a nice guy!. He is also a wonderful advocate for his patients. My daughter is now living in Denver and she had a problem with one of her teeth. Dr. Grutzner took the time to call and talk with the endodontist in Denver about my daughter's treatment plan. He let us know that the dentist in Denver had a good plan and was knowledgeable about the procedure. It was so comforting to have Eric involved in the process. You will be very happy if you choose to have Dr. Grutzner help you with your teeth. No regrets!

Dr. Gerlach was my surgeon and he squeezed me in on the same day when my dentist (next door at Park…read moreDental) told me they couldn't extract a tooth root on a broken tooth. It was a good experience, as far as oral surgery. They were a bit rude when I advised them that I had an infection in the area, as verified by Urgent Care. As if I don't know my own body? That's the reason for the lower score.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new dentist! I read a LOT of reviews and did…read moreresearch to find Heart of the City. I even changed my insurance to be able to check this place out! I absolutely was not disappointed. Plenty of parking available in the shared lot with other businesses in the building. The office is very inviting, clean, and organized. The staff has been top notch throughout all of my communication and visits so far. Major shout out to Jenna, who went out of her way to welcome me, learn about my needs/anxieties, and make sure that I felt at home and safe. She even offered local recommendations since I'm newer to the area. My favorite part of the visit was that they offered a menu of items to make me feel more comfortable in the chair! I chose a stress ball for this visit, but might choose additional items on future cleanings! Why not make it feel like a spa visit? HUGE shout-out to my hygienist, Eriel!! She was probably one of the best hygienists I've ever had. She was non-judgemental, sweet, kind, explanatory, and made sure I was doing well and comfortable throughout the visit. We had great conversation, and I felt like she had genuine interest in making sure I was in a good spot. I'd highly recommend her! Dr. Heidi Smith, was also very friendly and helpful during my exam! Lastly, I think they did an amazing job of being upfront and honest about cost throughout my visit. Anything not covered by insurance was very clearly articulated and I felt like I had full control of whether or not I said yes or no to the options. This is huge, because no one likes to be surprised with a massive bill at the end of your routine service. I can't wait to keep coming back to Heart of the City!

I think the best way to really describe this place is exceptional. Everyone at the office is very…read morefriendly, flexible, and knowledgeable and when I say everyone, I mean that I haven't found an exception to that rule with anyone there. I really appreciate being able to go to a place where you don't get shamed for any dental issues too. They've always approached things from offering advice to improve, which hasn't been my experience at other places I've been. If you've ever heard "It looks like you haven't been flossing lately, hmm?" or something similar, you know what I mean. Special shout out to the hygienist Dani who was really easy to talk to and gave me some really good insights about what sort of ways I could prevent some issues beyond just brushing/flossing that was knowledgeable and relevant (look into a waterpik to help my gums, but mouth wash wasn't really needed since I had good enamel from brushing alone already). Definitely recommend this place.

My exam went great. I went there due to Dr. Donald J. Clausen referring me to Dr. Vellejo…read more He was very kind to me. My only complaint is because, I've been to a Prosthodontist and a dentist, who says I don't need surgery for new dentures. As a matter of fact, I have had dentures made. The problem is, I can't wear them. That was another Medicaid paid dentist. Finally, Family Smiles told me, if I don't have the surgery, then they won't make my dentures. My state paid dental insurance, DentaQuest would not pay for my surgery. Yet that dental practice made a denture and partial, for my husband, who also, Dr. Vellejo said, needed surgery also. The day he went in for extractions, he was told he also was to have that surgery. He asked how much that would cost. He was told $588, which he, promptly, told them he couldn't pay that. Dr. Vellejo extracted his teeth anyway, and did a great job. My husband barely had any pain and healed quickly. By the way, the upper denture, were crafted for his situation. And the partial fits him perfectly. By the way that the denture dips on one side, I can tell, as a long time denture wearer, it is excellent. Why they couldn't or wouldn't do that for me, I have no idea. Something seems fishy. I'm going to another Prosthodontist, whom I will be paying to get his professional opinion as to whether I need surgery or not. I'm beginning to think that Medicaid paid dentists are not all that great as I've had some harrowing experiences with their practices. It took two years for my jaws to stop hurting, after going to one seven years ago. The dental assistant pushed down so hard on my gums, I heard and felt the pain of my jaw pop. This last one put hard reline material in my mouth, with my new dentures. It burned the whole time and it took hours to get that taste out of my mouth. A week later, and the dentures still smell like it did then. Hence, I'm going to do what I can to pay for my own dentures. I'm fed up with second grade treatment.

I booked an emergency appointment for a loose crown on my dental implant. When I scheduled, I told…read morethem I have insurance and a dental discount plan. They confirmed they accepted my insurance. Two weeks after scheduling the appointment -- and one week before the actual appointment -- they suddenly cancelled, claiming they don't accept my insurance. I offered to pay cash with my discount plan and said they didn't need to use the insurance at all. They told me that would be fraud. I asked them to escalate it to the manager -- they said they would, but the manager never contacted me. They also haven't sent any written explanation for refusing service as per my request. This is incredibly unprofessional and left me hanging during a real emergency. Do not go here.

I have been going to Dr Peterson for 4 years now, and while no one can really enjoy going to the…read moredentist, I have found him and his staff to be very good at what they do. I haven't had any cavities to speak of, but the one root canal I had done was quick and relatively painless. I can't say that about the other one I had done 10 years earlier at another dentist. I recommend Dr Peterson's practice.

This place is what you would call a 'legal scam'. They are happy to trick you into thinking you owe a certain amount and then they sent me a bill later. Totally dishonest. That's on top of the fact the 'permanent crown' fell off the very next day, and when they put it on again it fell off a week later. Went to another dentist and they did a lot of things this place did not do they were supposed to do. Absolutely half assed work. Slap some glue on and stuff it on my tooth. No effort whatsoever. Avoid this place at ALL COSTS. You will get random bills in the mail you can't afford, and you will have to pay another dentist to fix their mistakes. No one should have to go back to the dentist 3-4 times to get something done that should have been done the first time.
