Well, no one really likes visiting the dentist which is probably why they call and email you to the point you think they are stalking you. Don't blame them. Plus, the dental assistant cheerleads your "perfect" teeth then the dentist comes in and says you need 12 cavities filled, 3 crowns, a root canal, invisiline braces and a mouth guard for sleeping at night (that is a bit of an exaggeration 😁) But he does this in a way that at least makes you feel a bit better about it which is nice. The dentist does an excellent job on the teeth too and often helps bring down the cost a bit when possible which helps take the sting out of the whole experience. The staff is also always pleasant. Given the nature of what they do that is got to be a bit of a challenge and the work they put into it is definitely appreciated. It's never easy going to the dentist but they all do a great job making it at least a lot smoother experience, so 5 stars is what I rate them. Thanks Midwest Dental Portage Wisconsin.
