I found this practice on a whim while searching for pediatric dentists. It's doesn't have a formal…read morename but don't let that turn you away because this is a complete dental clinic specifically for children. The clinic has two dentists, four hygienists, and a couple front desk staff. The office is located in an office park building in Maple Grove. The waiting room is so welcoming. It's tastefully decorated for kids. Cartoons on the TV, free Pac-Man arcade game, lots of books, and magazine for the adults. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The exam space is great, too. It's an open-air concept with benches and art for privacy rather than walls or exam rooms. My favorite part of our visit was the staff. As someone who despises trips to the dentist myself, I have put off my son's first visit for years. At 4.5, I worried that he would be scared and non-compliant. But our hygienist made him feel very comfortable. I appreciated that she showed him the chair and let him try each of the tools before using them. The cleaning was very gentle. She took breaks as often as he asked. After he picked out a prize and got a sticker for being cavity-free, we saw the dentist (Dr. Borodkin). She reviewed his chart and took the time to review his X-rays in detail. I was worried that she would scold me for waiting so long to bring him in. Not at all! She was informative and supportive, not judgmental. We left with a 'swag' bag - toothbrush, paste, a water bottle, a really nifty flosser, and a save the date for our next appointment. We will DEFINITELY be going back.

As an adult with dentist anxiety, I had MUCH delayed taking my kids and both had cavities... what I had dreaded (and expected). However, the way the staff and Dr. Venetia helped make them feel comfortable and calm (and informed about what's happening every step of the way) was nothing short of miraculous. No tears. No pain. No fear... for the kids or for me! :) I'm SO impressed with their approach, kindness and knowledge about kids and their teeth. Thank GOODNESS I found this clinic.

I switched dentists because my last retired and I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dentists so I was not looking forward to finding a new one and trying to get comfortable again. I'm very glad I found Dr. Kinney and her team though. They've all been so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. One of my last appointments, my husband was running late so I had to bring our 1 year old son with because there was no way I was missing my appointment that I had, had for 2 months. Well, the front desk ladies immediately took him and brought him to hangout with them while I got started with my appointment. I seriously couldn't thank them all enough. If you're in need of a new dentist, I highly recommend this group of ladies!

Second time come back keep try to sell stuff like saying I need a crown when really filling will do the work. Third time come back to get cavity done she schedule for cleaning instead. I feel like the dentist will only be nice if she can make money out of you. Previous dentist was great sadly he retired! I would not recommend this place . The only reason why they still in business because of great hygienist. Oh by the way thank you for sending me a bill for 50$ miss appointment when I told you advance that I'm not coming in as you schedule me for a cleaning when I ask for a filling. Extremely bad business and unethical practices !

When I went and have my teeth cleaned (which is preventative care and free for in-plan dentists) I was charged. When I called to ask, they just dropped United Heathcare a week prior to my appointment and failed to mention this when I gave them my insurance card at the beginning of my appointment. I then got a piece of mail a week later saying I could pay for a membership and would get the in-plan pricing. Money hungry and unethical. DO NOT GO HERE FOR YOUR DENTAL NEEDS. Save yourself money and a headache.

I wish I could write a zero-star review for Droel Family Dentistry…read more They were kind enough to send three text reminders for my last scheduled appointment beginning about a week in advance. I responded with a request to cancel my appointment due to my dental insurance expiring. Laine, the Practice Manager, responded to my cancellation request to say that Droel "always verifies benefits/eligibility before your scheduled appointment" (with many typos). She also specifically told me that I am covered for the next ~8.5 months based on the Delta Dental benefit calendar. She ended her text with "You are definitely eligible to come in :)" About a month after my appointment, I was again contacted via text to say that "the plan we had on file seems to have terminated which has left a pretty hefty balance on your account" of over $1,000. This is extremely frustrating given what I mentioned above. I trusted Droel to be the experts on dental insurance coverage since it is something they deal with on a daily basis, but instead I'm left wondering if they are dishonest or downright predatory toward their patients on purpose. Despite their negligence on this issue, they refused to offer me any sort of concession on my balance due, and even threatened to send it to a collection agency. On top of this, their quality of care is severely lacking. Wait times are extremely long for any sort of procedure beyond a routine cleaning, which leads me to believe that the doctor, Andy is stretching his practice too thin. I've also had to have multiple follow-up visits to fix sharp edges and uneven fillings, further reinforcing that Droel only cares about volume and not patient satisfaction. While I'm fortunate enough to be able to just pay this balance and avoid any further conflict, I'm afraid that this is not an isolated issue with Droel Family Dentistry, and that their subpar level of care could lead to a significant financial burden for others. I hope this review does something to combat that. Neither I nor my family will be returning to Droel Family Dentistry for any future dental care needs.

ATTENTION parents with kids that have disabilities: This place may seem good but if your child has…read moreany type of issues such as anxiety, do not bring them here. This place has no ability to handle a child who is scared. They are pushy and have no feedback to help in that type of situation. They will just give up and tell you to come back later. The workers have a very short fuse for these kids and are very rude and when your child leaves they will feel defeated like they are somehow bad. They want to get people in and out as fast as possible with no deviations from THEIR schedule regardless of the situation. I understand that people have appointments but if you claim to be able to handle kids you should have protocols and plan ahead and allow more time for the appointment when you know the child is scared coming into the appointment as they have met him and worked on him previously. Since we have 0 services rendered we will be attempting to not pay for any of this along with the LOAN we took out with their lender to get the work started. Honestly, if you are claiming to be a place for kids then freaking act like it. Not all kids are the same. We are so upset right now and will never return here and do everything in our power to help others avoid this place like the plague. P.S. Think about changing the name of your business.

The office called and put up a fuss about our insurance, then a week later I got a call saying they canceled my daughter's appointment because they didn't like her insurance. They called and canceled only 4 days before her appointment. Imagining discriminating against a 5 year old, and denying her dental care simply because her insurance changed. We still had a valid insurance, they just care more about profits over people. Obviously, client loyalty means nothing to them. I would never recommend this dentistry to anyone and will be letting all the moms in my friend circles and beyond know about our terrible experience.
