I have been a patient here for over 10+ years, and my experience has been consistently positive…read more After reading some of the recent reviews, I felt it was important to share the perspective of a long-term patient. Over the years I have had routine cleanings, dental work, and ongoing care here, and I have always been treated professionally and respectfully. I have never felt pressured into unnecessary procedures, and any treatment recommendations were explained clearly to me. No office is perfect, and I cannot speak to other people's experiences, but based on my own decade-plus experience, I trust this practice and the staff here. I think that is worth sharing as well.

At my check up, second ever appointment here, i was told my molar, #2, was crumbling. Hygienist…read moreshowed me the x-ray, and when I said "the tooth looks fine." She said "well, it's on the occlusal surface so you can't see it on the x-ray. She nor the dentist offered to show me in their dental mirror. Also, it is impossible to see this tooth's surface in a wall mirror. I had no pain and no sensitivity. I went to another dentist to check it out, and the tooth was not crumbling, it was healthy, intact, and just fine. As a former dental assistant, I was appalled that any dentist would lie, and risk drilling a tooth down to a peg for unnecessary treatment to benefit his wallet. This Dr needs to take courses in Ethics.

Apparently, they just ask you to leave a good…read morereview right after your 1st visit when you can't really evaluate the quality of the work, only their snaky politeness. I am having so many problems with what Dr. Gendler done to my teeth and these photos were made within 1-2 years after his work: Low quality fillings that leak and break apart, unnecessary drilling to bill insurance on my tooth #4 (while ignoring cavity on another side of that tooth), implant on tooth 31 has crown that catches lots of food and despite numerous requests to redo it, he only trimmed my upper and neighbor teeth to make it "fit" which only made everything worse.. Another implant has a connection which my new dentist told me is no longer recommended because it has a high risk of micro-movement and micro gaps and irritates gums, exactly what happened to me. My new dentist and surgeon say the only way to fix it is to get a new implant with a morse taper connection, but removing the current implant can cause other risks too because it is placed into sinus and there may be problems with circulation in that area, and worse bone loss. For so long Dr. Gendler hid truth and confused me making me think something was wrong with me, like it was my personal reaction, or I just had allergy or gum infection left from previous tooth.. I've visited a number of specialists and they all told my gums are healthy.. Dr. Gendler tried to manipulate and confuse me making sure the statute of limitation passes which is short for dental problems - only 2 years. If Dr. Dendler told me truth earlier, it would be at least a little easier to fix it and wouldn't cause so much damage! But he only cared about his interests. Everything looks good only at the moment you walk from this office, but then have to deal with these problems. So thank you Dr. Gendler for all this dilemma! Now Dr. Gendler is also trying to harass me for publishing this honest review like it can cause injury to his reputation..Seriously? You caused injury to my health! How many more patients are being mislead or harassed to hide their reviews? I know a few people who have implants placed by Gender and now they also have pus coming out of implants or have crowns that fall off, but Dr. Gendler was manipulating and making them feel like something was wrong with them too: allergy, personal reaction, etc... just what he did to me for years. A lot more I could say but not allowed per release. It is sad and scary when you trust doctors with your and your loved ones health, but they treat you like this.

Regardless of this fact, Northern Star is absolutely taking advantage of their clients and overcharging on all fronts and the photos- the first one being an estimate from a VIRAL consultation with northern star on August 14th, 2020, and the second photo being from an In-person consultation I just had today with Dakota Valley in Burnsville- pretty much speak for themselves. As you can see from the first photo, Northern Star wanted to code two of my lower wisdom teeth as 'completely bony impacted'. I don't claim to be a dentist or claim to have the knowledge an oral surgeon has, but 'completely bony impacted', if you look it up, literally simply means "a tooth is completely inside of the bone and has not erupted through the gum," as in, it is not able to be seen in the mouth..... both of my lower wisdom teeth that they were claiming were "completely bony impacted" were visible in my mouth and had erupted through the gums. Another very questionable aspect was the fact that northern star tried to tell me that my four wisdom teeth would take 45 mins to 1 hr to extract, which meant they would get to charge me for a whole lot more for general anesthesia. The place I just had a consultation today told me, max, the entire procedure will take FIFTEEN MINUTES, because both the top teeth were a simple extraction and the bottom two, one was surgical completely erupted and the other is surgical partially bony. Northern Star mistook me for a young, naive 25 year old who wouldn't be bothered to do my own research or question what they were coding my wisdom tooth extraction as, which in essence, would've meant I would be getting charged ALOT more. Oh well- they lost a client and maybe this review will make them think twice about trying to FRAUDULENTLY miscode in order to overcharge unassuming clientele. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

His thorough explanations of the process and options made me feel respected and part of the process. His knowledge and skills are amazing and evident throughout the processes and in the final result. It's hard to relax when coming in to have this type of surgery but after talking to Dr Lowe and especially after the first of three procedures, I knew i was in good hands and could do just that. I was especially impressed that Dr Lowe himself called me the day after the surgery's to see how I was doing. As stated in another review he is professional, caring and thorough. He is also supported by a great group of folks at Twin Cities Periodontics. They were also very attentive to my needs, whether it was a need for pain control, working with Dr Lowe to arrange an appointment asap when his schedule was already full, assisting with procedures, or follow-up/appointment directions/explanations. Patient care and comfort is clearly a priority and very much appreciated.
