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.

If there was a half star rating for Park Dental in Cottage Grove, they would have gotten it instead…read moreof a full one star review. Dr. Kerr basically has no "bed side manner", so to speak. For the first time in many years I finally have good dental insurance. So yeah and with everyday brushing my teeth were and still are in bad shape. Dr. Kerr wanted nothing to do with me. Instead he had the receptionist set up an appointment with the dental hygienist for me to get a deep cleaning. During the cleaning, she wasn't able to complete it because my bottom two molars on my left side were way too sensitive. She called Kerr in to check it out. Again, he blew me off. As a result and with him having the cleaning performed before the work that really needed to be done...DONE, the cost of the deep cleaning ate up ALL of my insurance. Now I have to wait until January before I can get my teeth fixed because I don't have the extra $1,500 sitting around. Too boot, I'm still taking around with painful and sensitive teeth. Dr. Kerr knew very well this would happen. The kicker... I get an estimate from Park Dental in the mail today pretty much telling me that I'll have to pay out of my own pocket if I want the much needed work done. So... come January, you can bet the farm that I am NOT going back there. A friend and coworker referred me to the dentist that they go to. I will be going to that dentist instead. If you're looking for a dentist that treats you right, performs the work that's needed regardless of how bad your teeth are, I strongly urge you to NOT go here.

Matt greeted me promptly at 7:00 a.m. and prepped me, always his usual, courteous yet friendly self. His administration of novocaine was painless and he explained and double checked the procedure. Dr. D. then did the same, explaining each step as we went along while both he and his assistant kept me well rinsed and as comfortable as possible throughout. Visual scans confirmed everything that had been done and any questions I had were answered quickly and expertly. I have had some traumatic dental experiences in the past elsewhere, so was slightly hesitant going in. My family of 4 has been seeing the team at Parkway Dental for over a decade, though, so I know firsthand that they are beyond competent. They actually CARE about their patients. At no time did I feel unsafe or uncared for. I was even given a lovely fleece blanket that proved to be a great calming agent. Truly, though, it is their professionalism and compassionate care that shepherded me through. I go back in about a week for my permanent crowns and am actually looking forward to it!

I have consulted 2 other dentists since, I and was kindly asked to never go back to Dr. Karl Anderson, he caused me to need more surgical work than I would have needed! He also was VERY chauvinistic toward me during my consultation, I should have listened to this "red flag", but he had all the required education I was looking for. I would NOT recommend HIM at all, I am writing this review to hopefully save someone else the pain & suffering he caused me. Several months after my procedure I found out my insurance company paid them. I called the office, it seems they received insurance payment & had no intention of reimbursing me.

Then, she unfortunately fell and chipped her front teeth. She was in some pain, and I knew they needed to be checked out. Even though we were not patients of this clinic, when I called they were able to find a same day appointment to get her evaluated. My daughter is a bit shy and sensitive, I was honestly expecting her first dental visit to be meltdown central. To my surprise, the tears were very minimal! Dr. Wandera & team were so sweet to her, extremely patient in letting her warm up to the situation, and efficient in getting the exam done thoroughly and quickly. She was even willing to wander a little bit with the hygienist, and helped her brush the teeth of an alligator stuffie. My daughter usually doesn't warm up to strangers quickly, and I saw this as good evidence of a caring, nurturing team. We will be back!

Very well done. However, just this week, I was informed by my Dental Insurance Plan (Delta Dental) that this provider had chosen to go "off network" on February 10, 2024, and they did not inform me as a customer/patient. To me this is a very disappointing customer service issue. They should call each and every one of their customers that this impacts financially and let them know in advance of this impact. They did not do that. Hence, I am considering moving to another dentist because of this oversight. When I called to discuss, the office manager was quite rude in her explanation of this change. Again, a very poor attitude with a current customer/patient. I expect much more beyond the actual dental services.
