Dr. Yancy has a wonderful bedside manner. He explained everything as he went along and while it was generally not the the most fun I ever had, I experienced no pain during the procedure. He is a wonderful endodontist, and should I need another root canal, I will certainly return. I was treated with great care and compassion by everyone in the office, and as I was I quite nervous for the procedure, it really helped put me at ease. FYI: the practice is limited to endodontics, so this is not a general dentist.

Dr Palte and his staff were very kind, understanding, and compassionate. preliminary exam performed and Dr Palte sat down and explained the procedure in complete detail. unfortunately due to the condition of the tooth Dr explained options of repair and removal. I decided based on Dr Palte's opinion that the best alternative was to remove the tooth and plan for either a bridge or an implant. The tooth was removed and prep started for the implant. My experience with this office was outstanding. Dr Palte took the time to totally explain the procedures and my options and I am very confident in my treatment plan. His staff is outstanding and made the procedure as comfortable as possible. His staff also gave me documentation of the procedure and completed all the insurance forms for the visit. I plan on having an implant placed and I will definitely return to Dr Palte's office for the procedure. Great job Dr Palte and your staff.

They were able to get me an appointment within a couple of days of the referral. My first interaction was with Michelle who I immediately loved. She was very kind, welcoming and explained in detail what to expect from my visit. I was evaluated by Dr. Kimball, and when I say she is a real gem, that is an understatement. Her passion for dentistry exudes from her like a ray of sunshine. She was very sympathetic to my situation, and immediately after the evaluation began the first phase of the root canal. Her assistant Crystal, and her work together like pancakes and syrup. There interaction with each other is both professional and comedic, and definitely takes the edge off from undergoing a dental procedure. I could go on and on with my review, but in a nutshell, I would highly recommend this Endodontist if you want to experience an anxiety free procedure. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Let me start by saying--I hate going to the dentist. It takes more mental preparation than running…read morea marathon. I need to hype myself up just to book the appointment, and then double that to actually show up. But, a friend recommended Derksen Dentistry, and after some extensive (read: borderline obsessive) research, I decided to take the plunge. I needed an advanced root canal and figured, why not throw in a cleaning while I'm at it? The first thing that set the tone was my call to Susan. She was so calming and reassuring that I felt like I was calling a life coach, not a dentist's office. She promised me they'd make my visit as relaxing as possible, which is a tall order when you're about to face down a drill and some sharp objects in your mouth. When I arrived, I was promptly greeted (on time, too, which felt like an anomaly in itself). The assistant was super helpful, constantly checking in with me during the x-rays, which was nice since I was pretty sure my mouth was about to go on strike from all the poking. Then came Dr. Derksen. Now, I'm not the type to buy into "auras" or anything, but this guy had an aura of, "Hey, I've got this. You can relax." I felt it. He triple-checked to make sure I was completely numb before starting the root canal--because apparently, "feeling your teeth getting drilled" is not on anyone's bucket list. The whole process went smoothly, and to my surprise, I didn't leave feeling like I'd just fought a battle with a power tool. What really sealed the deal was that they followed up the next day to check on me. I mean, where else do you get a dentist who cares enough to make sure you're not secretly plotting your revenge on him for the trauma? Long story short, I walked out of Derksen Dentistry with all my teeth intact and a new, surprisingly positive outlook on dental visits. Dr. Derksen, you've earned a lifetime patient... just maybe not a lifetime of root canals, please.

Take it…read morefrom me, a dental phobia-prone grown-up who drove around the block where Dr. Behnke's office was earlier located for three weeks before I could get up enough nerve to even go inside and inquire, when I first moved to town ten years ago. From that atypical perspective, I can honestly say, without hesitation, that I trust Dr. Behnke above any other dentist of whom I have ever been a patient. So that's saying something! She has always been forthright with what needs to be done, explains procedures along the way, and has gone out of her way to put me at ease. I think her authentic manner is key. Those working with her have reflected the same tone. I have recommended her consistently to those I know who are searching for a dentist. And I must also offer applause for Barb, the dental hygienist who has provided six-month cleanings for me for a decade, now -- for her careful, patient and gentle touch, and her ability to put me at ease time after time, all these years! Last, I appreciate the fact that Dr. Behnke is not part of a group practice, as so many medical offices are becoming. Her family-run, personal care is reflected as soon as you walk in the door and speak with Don at the desk. Oh, one more "last" -- the photo gallery of small happy children with healthy teeth (also Dr. Behnke's patients) displayed on her wall attests to the fact that children also are dealt with in a positive and affirming way in her office -- establishing for them attitudes about going to the dentist that I only wish I could have experienced as a child. So in the midst of info overload and a too busy world, don't overlook Dr. Sherill Behnke's unique, patient-centered dental practice!
