PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

My family has been seeing Dr. Kohler for years and he’s always been the most reliable and thorough dentist that does the best work. I currently live in Seoul, South Korea and went to the dentist here for my annual check up, and the dentist was blown away at how good my teeth looked. He asked me “Where did you get your dental work done?” and I said ” At my family dentist in the USA” to which he replied “This is some of the best work I have ever seen. It’s beautiful!” Needless to say I was very proud! Dr. Kohler is the gold standard of dentists- even internationally his work is admired! I would absolutely trust him and recommend him to any friends or family.

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler and his team are excellent. I’ve never experienced such a thorough, high-tech dental exam and treatment. He truly cares about educating and empowering his patients to take control of their dental care. I also had a great experience with cosmetic dentistry at his practice, and couldn’t be happier with my new smile! Thanks Dr. Kohler!

★★★★★

Dentist Craig Kohler’s team hit it out of the park again. I had Dr. Groh for my cleaning, and she was incredibly knowledgeable in advising me and answering my questions. And my teeth have never looked better. You might think what’s the big deal about a cleaning, but the Kohler dentistry team always takes incredible and great care with cleanings as well as advising me best on how to care for my teeth. I give them a lot of credit for me not getting cavities. And when our family has bigger teeth issues to address, the same care and attention is given to those treatments. Plus no dentist cares more about staying on top of the latest technology and treatments to deliver the absolute best care than Dr. Kohler.

★★★★★

Dr Kohler has been my family’s doctor for the past decade. I needed to get some excessive dental work done but opted to go elsewhere because of the cost. I went to what I thought was a reputable doctor. I spent two and 1/2 years going through the process of implants and crowns. Long story short. I am back at Dr Kohler’s office getting all of the work replaced. I have learned my lesson you get what you pay for. Dr Kohler is meticulous and worth every cent. Lesson learned ~ invest in your smile. If you trust your dentist don’t go elsewhere ~ it’s not worth it. I love his staff too. Irena and Tamara have been with him a long time. That says a lot for an employer. If your looking for the best smile and dental work I highly recommend Dr Kohler and his experienced staff.

★★★★★

I’ve been a patient of Dr. kohler for about 19 years and my daughter has been a patient all of her life 16 years. Need I say more. I will, here’s one story that I would love to share. When my daughter was about 7 I thing she was having a cavity filled she said that while Dr Konler was preforming the procedure he would softly sing a song. Where else are your kids going to get that kind of care? We love Dr kohler and his entire staff. For over the years I watch and sat in everyones chairs one time or another and what I’ve seen is that he selects only the BEST. They are the best and I and I dont use that term often. PS This wasn’t the first dentist office I ever been to. But this is the only office that my daughter had been until a couple of months ago she’s now 17 and has moved to Texas with her dad. She’s at a new dentist office and thing aren’t so good. I’m making a sad face.

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler did a great job technically evaluating a complicated case.  His thorough review resulted in a better bite and a prettier smile.  We’ll go back for more as he did more than get the job done.  He did a great work and was very accomodating with a crazy schedule getting us in at 7:00 AM multiple weeks in a row.  That was awesome.   Our experience was very good as he did not miss any details and gave us a workable plan for future care to get a best bite and smile possible. Highly recommended.

★★★★★

We have moved out of the area, but keep returning to Dr. Kohler and his team for excellent dental care. He is an exceedingly skilled dentist who puts a priority on high quality approaches to long-term oral health. Dr. Kohler’s hygienist team is warm, experienced, and professionally skilled as well. I have the utmost confidence that our dental needs are being met with excellence.

★★★★★

This review is long overdue but I promise this is the ONLY review you’ll ever need to read! Dr. Kohler is absolutely phenomenal and I can honestly say that after doing research on hundreds of dentists across the United States for weeks before scheduling a visit to see him. In our specific situation we were currently living in Honolulu and had to fly about 10 hours to get to him, and it was beyond worth it. My daughter was 5.5 at the time, now almost six. And she had a cracked molar with deep decay. After seeing many dentists who suggested doing a root canal or even pulling the tooth, he was the only dentist who agreed that we should try to save the tooth by all means before going that route and I literally almost cried. You see, it’s not only teeth he treats, he takes his time and treats the patients needs specifically. Prior to this, my daughter had a tooth pulled back in Hawaii and they used regular anesthetics and within 24 hours she had hives all over her legs and they suspected an allergy to locals. We understood going in that this complicated the process with the cause of her allergy not being completely understood, however he was not intimidated by her case AT ALL. He made us feel completely comfortable and trusted his expertise. We had seen a few other dentists before him who promised laser technology for numbing and using it in their practice, but Dr. Kohler was the ONLY dentist who actually used his laser and the way that his website markets. We didn’t even have to go this route though. He wound up scrapping the decay of her back molar and used a drill very slowly and proceeded to do a temporary filling with NO anesthetic. She was in no pain and I was SHOCKED at how he calm my daughter. As I mentioned, she is not the best behaved in a dental chair, but he made sure she was. They started the visit by giving her a stuffed animal, his staff went above and beyond what we expected in terms of getting to know and make her feel special and comfortable. They were patient, kind and supportive. He was singing a song to her while he did it and she sat there, mouth wide open in awe. I couldn’t of asked for a better experience! And I want to note here, that the front desk staff is also absolutely amazing!! It felt like family. From the time I called they heard our situation, consulted with the dentist, always got back to me extremely quick and made sure we were cared for. I can not recommend this dentist enough!! Smart, innovative, caring and a true expert.

★★★★★

I had a great satisfaction coming to Dr Kohler. He made a thorough review of my dental health and gave detailed instructions before, during and after the session. The staff and the assistant works professionally with sincerity as well. They treat you as a patient according to your needs, not just they have to. Highly commendable and would definitely recommend to family and friends!

★★★★★

I was referred by my trainer whose mom is a retired dentist to Dr. Kohler. I have a general fear of dentist and had previously had bad experiences so I was very apprehensive about seeing another dentist. Dr. Kohler spent more time for my initial appointment than any other dentist I’ve ever been to. He took time to understand my concerns and came up with a plan for my return visit as I needed some follow up dental work. He and his staff could not have taken better care of me as I am a huge chicken when it comes to pain. Every measure was taken to provide me a comfortable experience and I was treated with amazing kindness and respect, despite the fact that I likely was his most “challenging” chicken on his chair. He and his staff are the nicest, most qualified people. Even my deep cleaning was handled with such care. If you are looking for an excellent dentist, Dr. Kohler and his staff are the only place you need to go.

★★★★★

I have been going to Dr. Craig S. Kohler over the past 12 years and he is the Picasso of dentists. I have had wisdom teeth pulled, fillings replaced and unfortunately, new ones put in, and recently I needed a crown. I can honestly say that I never have any anxiety that I am going to experience pain or a bad “bedside manner” from Dr. Kohler or any of his staff. Everyone is so competent in their area of profession and mindful of my comfort that I am able to relax and just let them get the job done. Dr. Kohler never rushes the job – he makes positively sure that every filling or crown fits perfectly and feels as natural as your original tooth. Cannot say enough positives!!!

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is the best dentist I have ever interacted with and he does high quality work. Not only does he get the job done, but he teaches and informs you about the health of your mouth and teeth. I had to get some emergency work done during the holidays and he moved his schedule around just to meet my needs. He took such good care of me and made me feel incredibly comfortable. If you’re looking for an outstanding dentist that cares about you as a person and the health of your mouth – I highly recommend setting up an appointment with Dr. Kohler.

★★★★★

Now a days, how many businesses remember your name? And not just your name but your entire family’s names, your business, how you were feeling the last time they saw you, etc., etc. Dr. Kohler and his entire staff treat you as a person and a patient. They are friendly, thorough, and skilled. They love what they do and that comes through. You feel welcomed and well cared for. I highly recommend.

★★★★★

After not going to the dentist for about ten years, I finally went to Dr. Kohler upon a friend’s recommendation. He is absolutely the best dentist I have ever experienced. He records video of all his work and then shares it with the patient that day. Dr. Kohler explains the procedure he just completed, or, in the case of the initial visit, the work that needs to be done. Dr. Kohler always makes sure that I am comfortable. His computerized system for numbing the gums and teeth is remarkable. I haven’t felt any pain while having cavities refilled or crowns done, plus he is great about ensuring that I don’t feel any pain as he begins working. It removes any anxiety I may feel about the process. His profound passion for dentistry is demonstrated with his attention to every detail, and that it is not just about the teeth, but overall mouth health. The rest of his staff are fantastic. The receptionist, dental assistant, and hygienists are always friendly, kind, and make sure I know how to take the best care of my mouth. I highly recommend Dr Kohler to anyone who is in need of a dentist.

★★★★★

As usual, my experience with Dr. Kohler was excellent.  From greeting Melissa and the other staff upon arrival to an almost always on time delivery to the “chair”, the positive experience begins.  I love that Dr. Kohler is always looking for the best solution to the problem… “my goal is to try for you to keep all your teeth”…, and keeping the price down.  Yet you know you are getting the best care.  He is constantly learning new techniques and products which also extends to the entire office.  I am so grateful that what many feel to be a negative experience is always positive.  Thanks to the Team!  Sarah B.

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler has been my dentist for over 25 years.  His team just took their highest quality to an even higher level.  While I was in for a normal cleaning, my regular hygienist, Tamara, noticed an abnormality in the xray that could have easily been overlooked.  Upon further review, Dr. Kohler found that it was a cavity in a difficult location.  He later found a way to reach the spot and give the filling, rather than opt for the easier (and more expensive) crown.  I appreciate their combined thoroughness and the willingness to provide better care at lower cost.

★★★★★

I contacted Dr. Kohler after consulting with nine other dentists over a three year period about issues I was having with my bite after Invisalign treatment and prosthetic work. I was so relieved to finally find a dentist that committed himself to finding solutions for me. From the first day I walked into his office, he has intently listened to me and has used his expert knowledge and advance diagnostic technology to help me. His whole staff is wonderful and the dental hygienist is the best I’ve ever experienced.

★★★★★

Going to the dentist is never on the top of my priority list, but Dr. Kohler and his team are the absolute best, and make the process extremely easy on me. I randomly found the dentist while working in the suburbs — and even though I’ve moved — I still make the trek to the North Shore for my cleanings. They do a spectacular job, use up-to-date technology to explain exactly what I need and why, and give me realistic suggestions about how I can keep my teeth in the best possible shape. If you need a dentist, I highly recommend taking advantage of their services.

★★★★★

All the staff are friendly & very attentive. The office is clean & they have everything you could need to be comfortable from massage chair to personal face wipes after your treatment. Dr. Kohler is very knowledgeable, kind & attentive to all the details. He took all the time I needed to understand & to get my treatment just right. I would highly recommend his office. It’s in a great location & accessible by train as well.

★★★★★

My husband and I have had the privilege of visiting Dr. Kohler for several months and it has been a game changer for us in every way! His medical knowledge partnered with his compassionate heart for people set him apart from every other dentist. His personable character and excellent service are unmatched. Dr. Kohler helps you to understand the problem and solution, and always shares the facts. (His funny analogies are one of our favorite things!) You will truly feel cared for and know he is attentive to all of the details with long-term benefits. His team is consistent in their efforts so your experience and health is of upmost importance. Many patients search for the best doctor in a profession, and Dr. Kohler is it for us! If anyone says otherwise, it’s because they haven’t visited Dr. Kohler yet. Hands down the best dental care you can receive!

★★★★★

Ive been going to Dr. Kohler for a while, but needed the crowns on my two front teeth replaced recently. I knew that he would take the extra care to make sure that the new crowns perfectly matched my whitened teeth. I was right! They are gorgeous! Then I had Dr. Kohler put a veneer on one of my crooked bottom teeth. Now, my bottom teeth are in a straight line (without braces) and look marvelous! Dr. Kohler adds artistry to great dentistry skills! He cares that his patients are happy and so do his dental hygienists. I highly recommend them.

★★★★★

I have been going to Dr. Kohler for over 35 years. For those who have trouble finding a good, competent dentist who provides great work coupled with helping you with your long term care, you need to try his work and attention to detail. In a world where ‘you get what you pay for’, Dr. Kohler provides much more than just typical dentistry. I am living proof what his work has accomplished. Going in for regular cleanings and checkups for 35 years has given me a mostly dental and problem free life with my teeth.

★★★★★

Craig Kohler uses advanced technologies to provide innovative solutions. Recently, the post in my upper front bridge broke the root of the tooth to which it was attached. Craig used the microscope and video recording equipment (along with the usual rubber molds) to remove the broken shard, trim the two teeth associated with the bridge down to the gum line, add fillings to them, and then provide the lab with sufficient information to allow them to configure an extension to my existing upper partial which was, at once, both tight-fitting and comfortable. This leaving of the roots in place will act to minimize future bone loss in a 74-year-old mouth which, unfortunately, includes soft teeth and a 600 pound bite. Craig keeps me going in spite of my inborn dental weaknesses!

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is great! Not only does he know what he’s doing, but he helps the patient to understand what, how and why he is doing things. I had a cavity drilled and filled and felt no pain at any point during the procedure. Afterwards he showed the recorded videos of what he was doing during the procedure while explaining what was going on. A comfortable and fascinating experience!

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is the best dentist that I have ever used He is extremely detailed and uses the newest technology to make sure the job is done well. He takes his time and explains everything. I was born in Poland, so I have always had issues with my teeth due to lack of accurate dental care at the time over there. I was always scared and uncomfortable with dentists, but NO MORE! I receive the best care now and I feel happy when I leave his office! We prevent trouble and take care of if anything arises. I highly recommend dr. Craig Kohler, Beata Romozzi

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler and his exceptional team have provided our entire family with top notch dental care for more than 30 years. His work has been professional, educational, durable, and personal. Lately, he performed extensive work on a young gal who we have been taking care of (after a public aid dental office did shoddy, incomplete fillings) – all gratis. We had no idea where to turn in order to repair the damage, and didn’t have the resources to pay for her dental care out of pocket. Dr. Kohler came to the rescue and has set her on a pathway to life-long healthy teeth! We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is incredible – his care and attention to detail with his patients is outstanding. He informs and teaches you about the health of your mouth and teeth in a language that the everyday individual would understand. I had to get emergency work done on one of my teeth during the holidays and he moved his schedule around just to meet my needs. I was in extreme pain for a few weeks and right there and then he took care of me and got me out of pain before Christmas. He and his staff took such good care of me and made me feel incredibly comfortable. If you’re looking for an outstanding dentist that cares about you as a person and the health of your mouth – I highly recommend setting up an appointment with Dr. Kohler.

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is the best! I write this as a professional in the health field, and also as his patient. When my dentist of 25 years retired, I was concerned about finding another dentist who knew me well enough ( and my mouth!). My family saw Dr Kohler, and were always pleased with his work and his staff. I feel like he knew me better than my dentist of 25 years after our first visit, and continues that way through today. He had to do major work on me teeth; and I have never met a dentist who approached his work such precision, detail, passion, and desire for perfection – not only in the short term, but for the long-run. I never experience discomfort, with his brilliant ways to prevent pain. He was also EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE around accommodating my needs, and over the year of receiving the extensive work, he always accommodated my schedule, and if there were any questions about a situation – he was available and meet me at off hours in his office – assuring everything was going as planned and to his professional expectations. He explains everything, and I feel I am a partner in the process. He truly loves his work, and it shows in his care and compassion. I never thought I would say this – but, I actually look forward to going to the dentist now. His entire staff are warm, friendly, professional, and I feel like they are family. I can go on with examples, but simply said – Dr Kohler and his staff are UNIQUE among professionals, and can not imagine where I could find better care. John Z

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is beyond amazing. He holds himself to an impeccable standard and goes the extra mile. He saved my tooth from needing a full crown and spent about 2x the time to make sure it was perfect, he even polished the tooth above it to make sure it was closing comfortably. Even his hygienist was commenting on how he does things better than anyone she’s known in the past. Best of all, he absolutely made sure I felt ZERO pain, even the injection was pain free. I’d recommend him to anyone who cares about their teeth.

★★★★★

Next level dentistry! Dr. Kohler’s skills and technology are the best I have experienced – his touch with tools is truly exemplary. Dr. Kohler does an excellent job of explaining procedures and the rationale behind them – all while showing your teeth on the big screen so you know exactly what is going on. During my most recent visit, I experienced a first: pain-free fillings, including the initial injection! Zero pain, start to finish. Amazing.

★★★★★

I came in for what I thought would be a quick chipped tooth repair. However, after further inspection Dr. Kohler realized it was going to take much more work. He spent almost 2 and a half hours on fixing my front tooth while also making me feel super comfortable! He ensured me it was only taking a while because he treats every patient as if it was his own teeth. After fixing what I had feared may be unfixable, you couldn’t even tell I had a bonding put on! It was absolutely incredible not only did he do a phenomenal job, but he took time out of his morning to fix what he thought would be a 30 minute job. Not to mention, this had been my first time visiting Dr. Kohler’s office since it was an emergency and I had just moved down here. Long story short, he made me feel like I had been a patient of his for years which is awesome when dealing with something as important as your teeth. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kohler he made me feel relaxed and in good hands even though I was pretty nervous when I got there.

★★★★★

I had a dental emergency a week ago but did not have a local dentist I was familiar with. I researched top rated dentists in my area and found Dr. Kohler to be highly recommended. From the first point of contact, the experience with his office was nothing but outstanding. The Office Manager Melissa is by far the most professional and kindest dental staff member I have ever encountered! She was incredibly kind, understanding and expressed true care for my situation. The dental office itself was the best Ive ever been to. The waiting area was very modern, clean and welcoming. The dental rooms were incredibly nice and very hi-tech – beautiful music was playing while I waited in the chair. The x-ray technician was incredibly sweet and very gentle with my mouth. Dr. Koehler came in and he was the kindest, most caring and honest dentist I have ever encountered. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, yet very personable! His advanced education level for a dentist is incredibly impressive! I can’t say enough about this dentist office! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Koehler for your next dentist visit! I normally don’t love going to the dentist, but they make me look forward to encountering my next visit with them. Pamela T.

★★★★★

I am a practicing physician for over 10 years in Anesthesiology and Critical Care. Dr. Kohler saved my life on a Saturday in January when I had a tooth abscess and was developing some bacteremia (bacteria going into the blood). He came in at several different hours and times during the weekend to help clear the infection, and treat my pain. I was not even an established patient and he took the time and effort needed to help me through this difficult time. Now, he along with his entire staff continue to impress me with their superior skills, kindness and willingness to do whatever it takes to help patients (including my entire family (wife and two seven year old girls, who love him!!!!).  Dr. Kohler’s competency, compassion and empathy for his patients is incomparable to any other dentist that I have ever been in contact with or have heard about. I am truly grateful for his care and lucky to call him my doctor!

★★★★★

Dr. Kohler is an extraordinary dentist. In addition to the high level of expertise, study, and skill that he brings to his craft, his philosophy of life-long oral wellness is patient-focused for the best long-term outcomes. Though we have moved out of the area, we continue to return here for dental care. Dr. Kohler’s hygienist team is fantastic too — friendly, professional, and experienced!

★★★★★

I have been a Dr. Kohler’s patient for over 15 years. i have the greatest respect for his clinical expertise and the high skill level of his entire staff. As a result of a recent fractured front tooth just prior to a trip to Poland, Dr. Kohler remarkable implemented a temporary dental procedure. As a result, i was able to to travel cosmetically confident and enjoy every meal. I strongly recommend Dr. Kohler.
