I hate going to the dentist, so I don't think I could ever give a dentist five stars. That said,…read moreKillian Dental has been wonderful! They have appointments as early as 7:30am, so I can go before work. My least favorite part about the dentist is the x-rays - they are painful for me and seriously trigger my gag reflex. But the hygienists work with me once they understand my issues. They will put salt on the x-ray holder or on my tongue, which somehow suppresses the gag reflex (maybe it's just the placebo effect, but it makes a huge difference!). It's hard to explain how much of an impact this is - I still dread the yearly x-rays, but I know they try to make it as quick and painless as possible. That alone sets them apart from other dentists I have seen.

I've been going to TDC for a year and a half so far, and they are fantastic! This review is a bit…read moreoverdue. The office is very nicely set up. The waiting area is clean and professional. Each room is set up like a pretty standard dental office, very clean. On my first visit, they told me they like to do a full set of x-rays just to get an idea of what my teeth are like overall, but my insurance didn't cover for a full set. So they told me they will still do the full x-ray set, but just write it as whatever my insurance will cover, and they will cover the remaining cost. How great is that?!? The staff is wonderful and courteous, also very punctual. I'm never waiting in the waiting room for more than 5 minutes. The cleanings are done nice and quickly, I'm in and out in less than an hour. Dr. Vaandehaar is great! He always makes suggestions for me to consider, but is never pushy about getting anything done that isn't absolutely necessary. For example, when I had a cavity, he obviously strongly recommended that I take care of it asap. But when it came to some preventative things, he told me what was going on, and what some options are and said it's something to think about. The only complaint that I have is, they do send A LOT of appointment reminders via email and text, multiple times leading up to your appointment. Yes, you can totally opt out of it, so I guess this is really on me. Also, TDC is the only place that staff actually came in and sang happy birthday to me during my cleaning. It was so sweet! By far the best dental office I've been to. Highly recommended. (And I'm not just saying that because of the singing)

I would give First Choice a 5 star score were it not for the run-down state of the Fitchburg…read moreoffice. I've been to many other dental offices - most pride themselves on having up-to-date equipment and a spruced up appearance. First Choice Fitchburg's environment and equipment seems to be frozen in the 1980s. The hygienist's chair had tufts of stuffing hanging out and the xray machine looks to be a hold-over from the Soviet era. If I wasn't so happy with staff, I'd be concerned that the run-down office reflected a lack of concern for patient care. 5 plus stars for staff: Abby is a fantastic dental hygienist and David Gundersen's skills are top-notch.

The quality of the dental care doesn't matter if you can't get in. Like most busy places, if you…read moreneed a pre-work appointment like I do, you have to schedule at least 6 months in advance.

Dr Andersen and crew have always been friendly and professional. They provide wonderful care. At 68 years old, I've been to a number of dentists over the years. Dr Andersen and staff are the best! I'd like to add that yesterday an old crown that had been placed by a prior dentist fractured and chipped off. I called Artisan Dental last evening to see if I could get in today. I got a return call at 7:15 this morning, was in their chair at 9 AM, and was done with a new crown at 11:15 AM. Thank you so much Rochelle, Dr Rehermann, and Cassie for such speedy, kind, and professional service. I have no idea how people could have had negative experiences. After going at least twice a year for 8 years, I've always been treated exceptionally well. It's true the office is like a very hip spa, and the equipment is state of the art, but the most important part is the people that work there. They're incredible.

However, if they late cancel your appointment they aren't accommodating for a re-schedule. Unless you can re-arrange your life expect to be several months out--as in at the time of your next cleaning. As a professional myself if I have to late cancel someone due to unforeseen circumstances I make sure to go above and beyond to accommodate a re-schedule that is convenient for the person because I value the time they set aside. I guess I should always remember that not everyone has that same level of professionalism.

I was disappointed by my experience with this dental office. While the care itself was acceptable,…read moreI was extremely concerned about unexpected charges that were added to my bill. I was told by the dentist that these additional procedures were necessary and that treatment could not move forward without them. After consulting with other dental professionals, I was informed that these procedures were not necessary. This left me feeling that additional services were recommended as a way to increase the cost of treatment while I was in a vulnerable position as a patient. The final bill ended up being nearly four times higher than the original quote I was provided. I was also told that I could not leave without paying the full amount, which I found to be an unacceptable way to handle the situation. I strongly encourage anyone considering this office to request a detailed written estimate, ask questions about every recommended procedure, and confirm that all charges are truly necessary before agreeing to treatment. Transparency and trust are essential in healthcare.
