For a little over a few years, I've had a chip in my tooth near my front center ones. I've always…read morebeen so insecure until I found this place (luckily they took both of my insurances). Once I got an appointment, the staff treated me so kindly and always had a smile on their faces to make me feel comfortable. The dentist himself was absolutely amazing, he told me a run down on what was going to happen as clearly as possible, he even did my two feelings so perfectly to the point I can smile and now have the confidence. He did everything to a T and I wouldn't recommend any other places than this place, he's the best dentist I've ever had and his care team are absolute angels. I'll definitely make this place my regular dentist.

I am a healthcare professional myself and I give my highest recommendation without hesitation to…read moreDr. Baich and his staff. The Doctor (an ACTUAL doctor, not a lower level less educated "provider") and his staff treat patients as individuals. There is no invasion of privacy, and your medical records are actually safe. I felt I was member of a team to find my issues and treat them, my questions were answered and my input taken seriously. That is their philosophy and they practice it. I am so fortunate to have found this office - one of the few remaining private or small group doctors in northern Minnesota. Thank you Dr and staff!! This is a refreshing change from the medical megamarts where medicine is an assembly-line knee jerk process, and often the patient input is ignored, they are assumed to be ignorant, while the providers assume they themselves are omniscient.

We are so grateful that we found Dr. Baich and his team. We first found this clinic last summer as…read morewe needed to find a doctor in the region that could see us straight away and every place we called had no openings that day. We found this clinic via a Google search and though we saw the doctor's name appear on other locations like Deer River where he does surgeries, but we learned that the clinic in Coleraine is his headquarters and that he does do surgeries at a couple of hospitals in the region. We were relieved to hear that his clinic is "walk-in" and the wait is usually short. Here's why Dr. Baich and his clinic are so great: 1. Dr. Baich is an experienced doctor & surgeon. 2. Dr. Baich is the first doctor I've ever been in a room with where the doctor isn't rushing off to another patient, but connects with each of his patients to make sure they have all the answers they need. 3. No wait for scheduling- Because it's a walk-in clinic and the wait is usually very short. This means on days when need to see a doctor, you can be sure to get in to see Dr. Baich at the clinic on his non-surgery days. (I understand he has two surgery days each week which he splits between a couple of regional hospitals.) 4. Customer service - The clinic staff are great. 5. Accessible- The clinic is a few minutes from Grand Rapids and right off the free way. 6. Affordable- a consult, resulting minor surgery, and follow-up combined cost us less than a 15-min. doctor's visit at other clinics. This is important for cash paying or high-deductible insurance policy holders!! In an era where the healthcare industry is growing larger and larger (and more costly), this is one clinic where you won't get lost in it all.

So this past month while on a fishing trip up in Northern Minnesota there was an unfortunate…read moreaccident where I needed to go to the ER in Grand Rapids MN. This review is about the ER and not getting into all the gory details. Upon entering the ER (thank goodness it was not busy) I was impressed at how pleasant and caring the admitting nurse was. Taking my information and insurance all the time showing care and compassion. It wasn't but a few minutes before I was in a room with a couple more nurses taking more info and accessing the problem. They were wonderful. Soon after that I was seen by the ER doctor and told we'll get you fixed up and back on the lake fishing in no time. He had his intern come in and together they decided what needed to be done. She was fantastic. (I'm so mad I didn't get her name) Telling me what was going to happen every step of the way. The most painful part was the Lidocaine shots. Ouch! While I didn't scream, she did say you can hear most patients yelling all the way in the waiting room! So while she was sewing up my arm my buddies told her I was a professional fisherman (not true lol) and that I wanted the stitches in the shape of a fish! Lol. We had her in stitches (lol, pun intended). But when she asked how this happened, I told her the guys were trying to knock me outta the fishing competition! (Lol again not true). She had me sewn up, patched up and out the door as good as new. An absolutely wonderful experience for a bad situation. While I hope no one ever needs to go to the Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital ER, know that you will be well taken care of. I couldn't really take a lot of photos due to rules and regulations.

Dr. Specht changed my life. Literally. She took a mouthful of problematic teeth which I had been…read moretold twice before "absolutely must be extracted" for dentures, and somehow worked her magic and was able to salvage all but 4 of the teeth in my mouth. For the remaining 4 she set me up with partial dentures as well. But how she was able to completely transform all but 4 of the teeth Id been told by prior dentists were irreparable, is something between a miracle of sorts and pure serendipitous good fortune, for a change. The aching, breaking, stained teeth and unsightly mouth I owned just a month or two ago is now shiny white and almost new and the change was quick and incredible. I literally have been agoraphobic and mostly unable to work due to a combination of pain and shame concerning my teeth, and Dr. Specht and her hygienist have reinvigorated my confidence and my smile and my future will be brighter for the amazing work they've done for me. Needless to say, I am referring everybody I know and their brother to Up North Dental because of their impressive expertise and good work.
