PATIENT REVIEWS

Walter Hunt is a fantastic and professional dentist. I have been to see him several times and I am always impressed with his services. He is fast and professional and his rates are extremely competitive – $69 for an exam, x-ray and cleaning is a steal, especially for people like myself without dental insurance. I highly recommend Personal Care Dentistry and they will definitely continue to have my business.

When I walked in I was pleasantly greeted, my time was respected in that my appointment started on time, and my hygienist was thorough yet easy to talk with and a great listener. Dr. Hunt was also thorough and explained everything that was going on. It’s obvious that everyone there cares about their patients – really cares. Highly recommended!

HONEST, PROFESSIONAL, KIND, TIMELY, and NO PAIN – I LOVE Dr. Hunt and his team! They were highly recommended to me, and I highly recommend them to others! My sister recommended Dr. Hunt, and I am so glad that I finally took her advice. I have had a lot of dental work performed, and have visited several local dentists in an effort to find my permanent dentist. My search is now over! My first visit with Dr. Hunt was on an emergency basis, and they fit me in and took great care of me. He and his team were professional, kind, timely, and HONEST… honest about the service needed for my current emergency and honest about those services needed to address my other dental issues/concerns. Having already received a comprehensive dental treatment plan from another local dentist, my emergency visit with Dr. Hunt also served as my “second opinion” for the additional treatments recommended by my prior dentist. And, I am so glad I sought that second opinion from Dr. Hunt! Rather than the $30,000+ treatment plan received from my prior dentist (this in addition to the $10,000+ already spent), the fees related to Dr. Hunt’s initial plan were SIGNIFICANTLY less, while still addressing my dental issues/concerns. Rather than swindle me out of money for unnecessary procedures, Dr. Hunt gave me an honest assessment of what I needed, which will result in a great smile! I am so thankful and grateful to Dr. Hunt and his team (and of course my sister for the awesome recommendation), and look forward to working with them in the future.

Throughout my life I have had very negative dentist expiriences, whether it was from getting work done on my teeth or not being able to help me due to lack of funds. THIS office however completly changed my view of going to the dentist. Not only is their staff friendly and welcoming but so helpful. I have recently graduated from college and moved out here away from home and because k work for americorps I have very little money and no dental coverage. I recently went through the most painful expirience in my life due to a tooth with an infected nerve in need of either extraction or a root canal. I could not pay for a root canal, so they sat down for over two hours calling non profits, and other dental offices trying to find someone to help me. They find a way I could afford a tooth extraction and got me in asap. I’ve never been so greatful in my life. If you EVER need anything done dental wise I highly suggest going to them, because even if they can’t help you they will find someway or someplace else to help you.

I saw Breanne and she was an amazing Hygienist. I was leery going to a new place. My former dentist didn’t take my new insurance. She greeted me with a smile and was friendly and nice. She took her time and listened to what I liked most about the other place I went for 20 years. She was great and I will be going back there to see her.

My husband and I went to Dr. Hunt’s office today for the first time today for an exam and cleaning. Janel, Breanne and Dr. Nelson are such wonderful, warm people. We had FUN at the dentist. Greeted warmly, the crew at PCD are all very genuine. You can feel really confident and comfortable with them. Thank you Janel. Breanne and Dr. Nelson! See you in six months! Jenny

I am new to the Twin Cities area, and I initially called Metro Dental.  They were rude on the phone, overbooked, it was impossible to get an appointment within a month, and the appointment hours were not convenient.  I am actually glad this happened, as it lead me to find Personal Care Dentistry.  I do not have enough wonderful things to say about my entire experience!  The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful, they have very convenient appointment times (6:30 am and evenings for those of us who work 8-5), I got a next-day appointment, and the staff was EXCEPTIONAL.  They were on time, efficient, friendly, and really took pride in doing a thorough and good job.  Dr. Hunt was personable, not just in-and-out the way many dentists are, and the hygienist made me feel completely at ease.  They even sent me a hand written personalized thank you note the next day for choosing their office.  Their name says it all – they really are all about personal care.  They get my top recommendation, and I will be a patient for life!!

When I walk into the office at Personal Care Dentistry I am greeted by friendly staff. They treat you like you are part of their family. The hygienist I see does an amazing job of making me feel comfortable and Dr Hunt and his son are always friendly. I’ve gone to several dentists over the years but now that I go to Personal Care I won’t go anywhere else. The entire staff is great. Thanks Lynn for recommending Personal Care Dentistry. Always enjoy seeing your smiling face when I walk in the door!

I was very impressed with the staff at Personal Care Dentistry. They were very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable and relaxed as soon as I walked into the door. My dental hygienist was Kari, I have braces which can be difficult to clean. Kari was awesome! I was impressed on how well she cleaned my teeth. She took her time and was very knowledgeable. Kari made my teeth cleaning a fun and enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic dental office in the Roseville / St. Paul area! Been a patient of Dr. Hunt and his son for the last 14 years. Tried others in the area prior to using Personal Care Dentistry and was disappointed. Found a winner with Dr. Hunt. Personal care is not just a name, its their way of doing business – from the hygienist cleaning care to crowns and other dental work, they are great. Highly recommend!

What an amazing experience. I was listened to, and treated will such care. My hygentist was gentle and caring.  My dentist was kind and understanding. I honestly have never had such a good experience at a dentist. I am looking forward to my next apointmet. That sounds strange I know, but trust me when I say eveyperson In that office made me feel comfortable an offered no judgment whatsoever.

Best dental office I’ve been to. All of the doctors and hygienist’s help me to feel comfortable during each appointment. Becky has always been accurate with my account, what my insurance covers and does not cover as well as explaining my treatment plan to my understanding. I appreciate that very much. I will continue to go to Personal Care Dentistry for all my dental needs. Thank you so much to all the staff at Personal Care Dentistry!

Today I received a hand-written thank you note from the hygenist who actually saw me thanking me for choosing Personal Care Dentistry. What a nice and thoughtful gesture! It was even a true thank you card, making mention of things we discussed during the visit and truly personalized — not a form thank you letter. A-Plus!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hunt and his staff for more than 20 years! He’s far and away the best dentist I’ve ever had and I hope he never ever retires. I appreciate that Dr. Hunt is conservative in his approach and never does any work that is not necessary. On two separate occasions I’ve gone into his office expecting a big procedure, only to have him say, “I’m very sorry we brought you in here for nothing.” Also his assistants and hygienists: I’ve never had a bad experience. I have my favorites, but really I am satisfied with every one of them.

What an amazing experience. The all the staff is super welcoming. Dr. Teo is amazing, very honest, professional and has a gentle touch. My dental hygienist was Jenna and dental assistant Sam Were very thorough, gentle and professional. I love the fact that they all took the time to explain and let me ask questions. I did not ever feel that they were in a rush and they were always concerned about my comfort. The office is immaculate and beautiful. My daughter takes her 4 little ones there and she highly recommended this office to me.Honestly, this has been the best experience I have had at a dental office and I have been to many of them in my life time. I highly recommend Dr. Walter Hunt’s office.

They treat you like family! Extremely helpful with resolving all my tooth issues and communicate wonderfully during treatment and after! They never make you feel shame about your oral health and appearance but instead help you love your smile again! Cannot begin to express how blessed my family and I are to have found Kyle and all the team members at personal care dentistry!!!! Thank you all for treating us like family!!!

If you are looking for a quality dentist in the Twin Cities, I found the best one with Personal Care Dentistry. I recently had a minor dental emergency (chipped tooth) and I had made inquiries at other offices, with no responses back. I called PCD up and they immediately got me in the next day. I want to highlight how awesome the administrative staff are! When it comes to healthcare, knowing your benefits, scheduling, etc…the staff really take care of you. Appointments are easy to schedule and the reminder emails and calls are awesome! It is so refreshing getting a live person on the phone, as well. Best of all, my appointments are always kept on-time. Secondly, Dr. K Hunt and the hygienists I worked with are amazing. I don’t get apprehensive going to the dentist, but they treated me with respect and kindness that still made me feel safe. I can only imagine how comforting that would be to someone that gets nervous going to the dentist. Overall, the entire staff is knowledgeable and experts at what they do. They are incredibly friendly and the office environment is very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend going to Personal Care Dentistry! It’s clear that they live by their mission and meet a gold standard in quality care.

I transferred to Personal Care Dentistry recently and have been very satisfied with the care I have received. Jordyn, my dental hygienist, is very skilled, not only with how she cleans and assessing my teeth, but also providing suggestions on how to maintain even better tooth hygiene. She is a great addition to the Personal Care Dentistry team.

I have been going to Personal Care Dentistry for a number of years. I came across Personal Care Dentistry because my last dental group told me that I needed an expensive undertaking for my teeth. Personal Care Dentistry recommended a simple, reasonably-priced option that worked perfectly. The staff and dentists there are always very friendly, understanding, accommodating and do an excellent job on my teeth. Many of the hygienists have given me great tips that have worked very well. I am so happy I found Personal Care Dentistry.

So to say that I hated the dentist was an understatement. I called at 7am with a minor dental emergency. The women at the front desk were nice, and listened to the problems I was having, and I was told to come in right away. After arriving I was greeted with smiles and a gift bag was handed to me for coming in. I had to fill out very little paper work, and while I was doing so I was called back to the room. I had no appointment and a wait of maybe 10 minutes? After going back to the room I was again greeted with smiles and TRUE concern. I have very bad teeth and expressed this to Dr. Hunt. He made me feel as though I was a human and not just another “patient” he truly cared and had true concern for the matters going on. Again with no appointment Dr. Hunt had started my root canal to get me out of pain. I left with a smile on my face. This will be my dentist for the rest of my life. No words can ever be expressed as to how grateful I am for Dr. Hunt and his team!

Personal Care is a great place to choose if you want a dentist that actually cares about your needs. They have a friendly and comfortable environment that eases the anxiety that might accompany going to the dentist, and the staff is fabulous, always making me feel welcome and at ease. They have a lot of medical technology that seems really cutting edge (not that I know a lot about dental technology, but the x-rays were able to be rendered which was pretty cool, and there seems to be a lot of other things like that around their office). I always saw the younger Dr. Hunt, and he is one of the nicest doctors I’ve had. I always ask a ton of questions and he was always polite enough to humor me. He also is very calming, and he and his assistant are always really good about explaining what they are about to do to prepare you. All of the work I’ve had done was completed really quickly too. At my first visit they took x-rays and came up with a plan for me to get the dental work I needed done in a reasonable way, and afterwards I sat down with one of the staff to make sure that the work could be done within my insurance plan. Knowing that my billing was squared away and wasn’t something I had to worry about was also quite nice. Whenever I was due for work or my cleanings I would get a call from one of the staff reminding me, which means that I basically always just had to show up! And one time when I was running late for when I needed to show up they worked around me, which was something I really, really appreciated. I’m moving to a new state now, and they made to process of transferring all of my records over as easy as a signed paper and an email. I’m miss going to Personal Care, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new dentist.

My husband and I have been going to Personal Care Dentistry for over 30 years. Specifically, we’ve been attended to by Dr. Walter Hunt. We couldn’t ask for any better service. We strongly recommend this practice. The office itself is quite lovely, the personnel is professional, efficient and always very friendly. Thank you Dr. Hunt!!

I drive a little ways to come here because I love the atmosphere. Before I started going to Personal Care Dentistry, I hated (HATED) going to the dentist. They really care and listen and make sure I am comfortable. They remember me and make each visit personable. HIGHLY recommended.

I’m an avid yelp app user and discovered this dentist there. This is my first visit there to work on a small chip in my front tooth from biting on things to open them. For future reference. . Do not use teeth. Use scissors! Check in and registration were computerized. This was quick compared to Metro Dental. It does concern me some what only because if you are like me where you are on medications that these medications don’t affect the treatments given. Kyle the owners son quickly sanded down the tiny chip and smoothed it out. No further attention needed. I mentioned a concerned for teeth heaps beginning to show. He didn’t push cosmetic procedures. He stated no concern unless it bothered me. Wait time was minimal. . 20 minutes. I did make an appointment for myself and 2 others on the same day. They fit us all in. Relaxing waiting area with coffee and tea service. Bottled water also available. Going back to have $3,000 worth of dental work done for a 15 year old and roommate due to 3 root canals as well as several cavities. This is a preferred location for Delta Dental PPO.

I think that there are three things that everyone needs to find when you move, but are also so hard to find: 1) Hair place 2) Dentist 3) Doctor Having moved to Minnesota in June and then finally having a permanent spot in the Twin Cities to call home (instead of the in-law’s basement) it was time to find a new dentist. The dentist is one of those places you go never really wanting to go, but you kind of have to. A really terrible dentist can make that experience so miserable, but a great dentist can make it not so bad. Even before I arrived I was impressed with them. They had all the new patient paperwork online for you to fill out. Seems silly to praise them for that, but I hate writing forms. Plus it saves you time when you arrive. The office itself is very nice, new, and clean. I was given a little tour of the office by my hygienist and I was very impressed. The waiting area was also super warm and welcoming. It felt more like waiting at a spa than a doctor. The cleaning and check up were great. My hygienist was thorough but not overly pokey. I really hate it when they jab the pick in your gums and then yell at you about your gums bleeding. None of that here. The dentist was also super friendly and quick. I really loved how there was no pressure for anything either. I’ve been to some nightmare dentists who push things on you. I brought up how in the past a dentist wanted to take out my wisdom teeth because “they are a pain to clean” despite me telling them I had major oral surgery as a kid to avoid having them taken out (and to make room for all my teeth). The hygienist explained that is really unnecessary and the sign of a bad dentist. She said you put in the work to keep them, so we will put in the work to keep them in too. Love my new dentist!

Jenna is my dental care hygienist. She is the best dental care person I ever came across. She is very gentle and very caring. She also keeps me updated on what I need to do and how I can stay on top of my dental health. She is always trying to make sure insurance covers all the expenses so I barely ever had to pay anything.

I visited Dr. Hunt today after being concerned about some discoloring I was having. Being new to the area, I randomly picked a dentist from Google Maps, and what a choice I made. My appointment came about half an hour after I called, with little wait. I was warmly greeted when I walked into the professionally delightful office. After being brought back to a chair my hygienist, Megan, did a wonderful job of taking care of my needs and addressing my issues at hand. She cleaned my teeth (which hadn’t been done in years) and kept up a genuine conversation between having my teeth scraped clean. Unfortunately Dr. Hunt found two cavities, and recommended having them filled. Instead of giving me silver fillings, he offered me “tooth” colored ones for the same price after acknowledging I am a student, and having pretty nice chompers. I’m already headed back early next week to have the work done, and unless I have any life altering experience, I believe I have found my new dentist.

I have been a patient of Personal Care Dentistry for about 30 years. Dr. Walter Hunt has been my dentist for all those years. He has also been available, kind, and gentle, which is so important as I have a pretty bad case of “dentist phobia”. The employees from the hygienists, to the front desk and the business office, are always exceptionally helpful and considerate. I have recommended PCD to members of my family and friends, and all have thanked me for that! I feel that the prices for service are reasonable and their PCD Care credit is a good deal, particularly if you need extensive work done. Thank you all for taking such great care of me and my family all these years!

When you step into the front office you already feel like family. From the amazing front desk and financial team, to the assistants. The dentists are great and very personable and the hygiene team are rockstars (my favorite is Krista). They are so good, I wouldn’t let any company other than Personal Care Dentistry work on my teeth. Definitely worth the long drive!

My experience with this dental office has been excellent. The staff are very friendly and professional and I have never waited more than 10 minutes over my appointment time. They all strive hard as a team to make your experience comfortable and positive. They truly practice golden rule dentistry. Dr. Hunt has a very gentle touch and all my crowns have been pain free experiences. I highly recommend this dental office.

I have been going to Personal Care Dentistry for over 30 years. My experience there is always top notch from start to finish. The moment I walk in the door, I’m greeted with a smile and by name. The hygienist is always engaging and efficient. Dr. Hunt and his team have taken excellent care of my teeth through the years. And, when I’ve had work done outside of the regularly scheduled cleanings, the team provided a thorough estimate and talked me through the process so that I knew what to expect. I would happily recommend this dentist to anyone.

Walter Hunt is a fantastic and professional dentist. I have been to see him several times and I am always impressed with his services. He is fast and professional and his rates are extremely competitive – $69 for an exam, x-ray and cleaning is a steal, especially for people like myself without dental insurance. I highly recommend Personal Care Dentistry and they will definitely continue to have my business.

Switched to Personal Care Dentistry about 3 years ago and the experience has been great. My dental hygienist Jenna keeps my teeth in great shape and is a pleasure to chat with. She always makes sure you are comfortable and doesn’t shame you if you don’t floss daily!! The office has been recently renovated and waiting room is spacious and inviting. All the dentists and office staff I’ve interacted with have also been very pleasant. Nice work Personal Care Dentistry!

I was referred to Personal Care Dentistry by a good friend whose family has been treated here for years. And I am so thankful for her recommendation as Dr. Hunt and his staff are exceptional! It has been 4+ years since my last dental visit and they treat you like family immediately upon the first visit. They are truly kind, caring and do great work. It is very pleasant doing something that can cause so much anxiety. I will be happy to recommend this place to everyone. 🙂
