Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Answered questions, addressed concerns.
Appointment went very well - Dr. Elger came in, introduced himself and then reviewed my medical history and discussed dental issue. He answered questions and addressed concerns I had. .. For this one tooth’s extraction, I chose local anesthesia over the twilight sedation, as I was only needing the one extraction. .. I was first given topical numbing with a cotton swab at the site in order to ease the injection “pinch.” Then I was given the 2 shots of the dental block and then waited a little bit (say, 12-15 mins?) for that to take full effect. .. The rest of the procedure went smoothly, too, and was completely painless - felt no pain whatsoever during the extraction!! ...About the office in general - The office is clean and pleasant. The office staff are helpful, efficient, professional. The medical staff are knowledgeable and professional - they check on patient and go over everything, discussing what one can expect during visit, post-op care and billing (charges/ payment).

Wisdom teeth removal / recommend
Dr. Elger was friendly, personable and explained exactly what he was going to do for my child’s wisdom teeth removal. He is recovering and all went well!

I brought my son in to get some wisdom teeth extracted. Not impressed with Dr. Elger’s bedside manner; found him to be lecturing & somewhat rude. Would not recommend him. The front desk staff and billing woman were friendly and polite.
