I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!
