Dr Krempa is the real deal. No lectures just solid advice on how to take care of your teeth and how it benefits your overall well being. I would not say you look forward to going to his office but you won't dread going there either! Great staff as well!
Had one of the best experiences at a dentist office in my adult life. Saw Dr. Krempa and his hygienist Liz. Liz was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the how, why and what while performing my cleaning, which I don’t recall anyone ever doing before. I came away with a better understanding of how to better care for my teeth and she even cleaned areas no one had bothered to pay much attention to previously. Dr. Krempa was very down to earth and reassured me that some problem areas that previous dentists had wanted to perform very expensive (and likely unnecessary) procedures on were not as bad as I feared. Would absolutely recommend this team to any newcomers. I know others who also see Dr. Friedlander and only have great things to say about her as well!
By far the best dental experience. Beth was absolutely AMAZING. She calmed my dental anxiety by explaining everything and monitoring whether or not I was comfy. Tiffany at the reception desk was so pleasant in making sure I had my next appointments scheduled and explained everything in detail. I have found my new dental home!
Had an emergency pop corn situation… we’ve all been there. I called around 8 in the morning, and had an appointment made within 5 minutes to come in that same day. The team was super accommodating, and all very professional. I then got squeezed in for a cleaning, and Dana was the best! Super friendly office, quick and efficient!
PLEASE READ. i had been putting off doing a review but finally got around to it. i have had a ok experience here except a few times. once when i was getting a cavity filled, the dentist’s father (who was either retired or supposed to be retire, and i say that because they had him shaking and still trying to perform a cavity filled and had to be supervised by one of the assistants) he filled in a cavity and didn’t do it right so i had to come back and the son fixed me. the son does a great job. i don’t know why they had the father roaming around while he looked like he had parkinson’s. (this was a few years ago) but the main issue i had besides the father, my last ever appointment with them i was traumatized. i came in for a crown and then they ended up removing me tooth. i never expected them to use pliers and yank the tooth out. as if finding out they are going to remove me tooth wasn’t bad enough, they had to numb me several times cause it hurt bad. i remember crying afterwards. they didn’t have no sympathy and i even emailed them how upset i was and they didn’t reply. they also charged me hundreds of dollars for my tooth to get sent off to prep for an implant and never got that transferred to my new dentist (i ended up moving cities). i had been going here for 7 years and it was very unfortunate my last experience with them was so bad. also the lady that checks you out would always look at me weird. as if i wouldn’t afford dental care. it was very uncomfortable.
