Been going here for years now, and NEVER had a bad experience! Dr Wilken and her whole staff are great and friendly
Excellent appointment. The hygienist was wonderful & Dr. Hansen pleasant and thorough. Love my dentist experience!
Every time I go in the staff and doctors are very kind, I previously hated going to the dentist and feeling pressured to do things. I have never felt that at Blair Ridge. Erin is an excellent hygienist, explains everything very well, helps give tips on care, and makes it such an enjoyable experience. I feel seen and educated here and would recommend to friends and family.
The staff is always friendly. I feel that I am in very good hands with Dr Heying, his assistant and hygienist. Thanks Blair Ridge Dental!
I absolutely love my dental team! I have been to a couple of other dentists and Blair Ridge is by far the best. Today, Jamie did a great job making me feel comfortable and was able to answer my questions, she was very personable. Dr. Julia Stanley is gentle and compassionate, explains procedures clearly, and she is never pushy. She always makes me feel like a person and not just a body to check in and check out. I highly recommend Dr. Stanley and Blair Ridge Dental.
