PATIENT REVIEWS

When I had a tooth emergency (cracked molar), I did a search for dentists near me that accepted my insurance that could fit me in that day.  Dr Thelen’s office fit the bill, and when I got there, all of people there were completely charming.  I ended up needing a root canal on the tooth and then a crown on top of that.  They helped me immediately understand how much of that would be my obligation (ie not covered by insurance) and presented me with financing options for which I could apply.  Since I’ve had my permanent crown put on, I’ve been back for a cleaning/check-up.  They remember me perfectly 6 months later and ask me about the things that I had going on.  Seriously funny/fun people, too!  I will not fear going to THiS dentist ever!

I actually came to Thelen and his team about 2 years ago, in a last minute effort to use the dental insurance I was about to lose thanks to leaving my job. My mom’s afraid of dentists so I’ve been maybe twice in my life – as a result, my teeth aren’t in the greatest shape. I’ve heard horror stories of people basically being shamed by their dentist so I put off going for a long time. Eventually I settled on Thelen because he was close enough to my home that I could run back and hide under the bed if needed. Thelen and his team were so good that first time, I’ve waited 2 years to go back to him. My husband has perfect teeth (not a cavity to speak of – damn him), and I can honestly say that they treat me no differently than they do him. I really appreciate the professionalism here. I’ve had: routine cleanings, root canals, fillings and crowns done (told you I was in bad shape), and on my most recent visit (around the middle of May) I had a tooth extracted. Yanked right out of my head! All of the services performed have been impeccable – Thelen and his team are great at making you feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can feel in a dentist’s chair, anyway) and are very, very good. Yes I heard the drill in my head; that’s pretty unavoidable. What I didn’t feel was any pain during my procedures (the worst being a small “pinch” when they shot me up with the numbing agent for the root canals and tooth extraction) or shame about the condition of my teeth. I wouldn’t say I look forward to going to the dentist, but I definitely dread it a lot less knowing that I’m in great hands with this team.
