Having surgery soon and wanted lash extensions because I couldn’t wear mascara for the procedure.  Just got home from my session with Monica and I don’t think I could be more happy!  Monica is absolutely awesome and meticulous!  I will definitely be gng back for fills as needed and she was right, I am hooked!

In the past 15 years I’ve moved around the country several times and I’ve been to different dentist offices. I would have to say Northwoods Dental Spa has been one of the best experiences if not the best I’ve had with dental care and staff. The staff and doctor were friendly and accommodating. I was a new patient and they made me feel comfortable. I’m thankful for the excellent service that the entire staff at Northwoods Dental Spa provides. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend them. Happy patient!

The place is AMAZING! It’s been years since I’ve been to the dentist. I was a nervous wreck when I went in, those are like me because of bad experiences in the past. Y’all, this place is to go! The Dr. was absolutely amazing. She made me so comfortable and was straight up with me. She didn’t beat around the bush. The office was so wonderful! They have pay out options for you to pay for it, which no other place has EVER done that for me! If you need a dentist to go to..please give this place to chance. Go see Dr. B, she is amazing, and her staff and office staff they are amazing people!

I’ve been going here for about 2 years now. I first found this place after having a bad experience at another dentist and a friend recommend I check this place out. I’ve always had a good experience with them. They are kind, helpful, and always make me feel at ease. I had a wisdom tooth come in once and was in extreme pain. I called them and they got me an appointment right away and got my tooth out within 15-30 minutes. They were fast, quick, and efficient. I’ve also had 2 fillings done by them recently and I don’t think I’ve ever had such an awesome experience at the dentist before. I felt so relaxed I almost fell asleep, and that never happens! I would definitely recommend Northwoods Dental Spa, and do to all my family and friends.

Mt son had been going to Northwoods dental spa for years and I was avoiding it because I am terrified of the dentist. The receptionist finally convinced me I needed to be seen and it was the best decision. The staff is incredible friendly, and the hygienist not only are knowledgeable but make you comfortable too. I had Ashton and she made me feel at ease, took care of all of my extreme anxieties and best of all was so kind and friendly. I would highly recommend this place!!

Dr. Blaess has been our family dentist since 2012 and we keep going back to see her because she really is that good. Her medical education and expertise in the field of dentistry are exceptional. Yet, she remains humble, kind, and caring toward her patient’s needs. Her staff are friendly and professional, and the whole team works really hard to meet our dental needs. Thank you for being our dentist.

The Dr Zebrowski and Dr Blaess they soft hands. My appointment went smooth after talking with Sam I scheduled my family. The whole team is great. Maria is amazing with patient care. You will not regret your visit here. I can’t say they are one of the best. Actually they are the best ever.

\Even medical / dental is a business. I was just very lucky / blessed to have stumbled upon this facility, and specifically Dr Blaess. Let alone the fact that they were very punctual and efficient, as well as extremely friendly, from front desk staff to dental assistants, there is a true care for the patient, the reason why people get into healthcare to begin with (lost in MANY facilities). Again, I am so thankful that I happened to find this place. Dr Blaess clearly cared what I wanted as a patient and was very honest, and generous with her time and skill. I have yet to see my final results, but what she has done thus far is beautiful; she has also offered much in the way of long term care and prevention. It was the reviews that initially brought me here. They are all true.

First time here yesterday. Hygienists were amazing. Patient and helpful. Explained everything. Even replaced the water used to clean my teeth with warm water to help with my tooth sensitivity. Will be back Monday for a filling. Hope all goes just as well.

My entire family have been patients here for over 10 years. There are quite a few dentists closer to our home but we wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. We love the entire office staff (friendly, responsive and helpful), the dental assistants/hygienists are highly trained and experienced using state of the art equipment (my family is assigned to Alex; she’s awesome!), and the dentists are top-notch, very well respected professionals. The facility has that spa-like touch (hence the name), complete with a relaxing view from every dental chair of a huge aquarium stocked with beautiful tropical fish (like Nemo and Dory). Ladies (especially) will enjoy the additional pampering services available. Personally, I appreciate the early morning appointments (7 a.m.) so that my work schedule is minimally impacted. Bottom line, you get 1st rate service all the way. You can’t go wrong by choosing NDS for all your dental needs.

I love this place! They were able to help me in an emergency on the same day. They also were able to help me navigate my insurance in a way that benefit me most! They are very friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for an upgrade from your current dentist or looking for a new one, you won’t regret picking them!

Dr. Blase treated me for a dental emergency. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by their friendly staff. Dr. Blas was professional and compassionate about the pain I was in. She kept asking if I’m okay, she said if you feel any pain let me know because I don’t want to cause you more pain. Her patience and compassion was appreciated by regular dentist isn’t as attentive. I definitely recommend Northwoods Dental Spa, Dr. Blase and her staff are Amazing. This is my new dentist, grateful for the recommendation.

I am so glad I found this dental group. Had a temporary filling done by Alamo springs dental and had complication. my pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep and went back to them and they said i need to see a specialist. tried a few they gave me had no luck finally my friend recommended this doctor to me. thank god they gave me an appointment on the same day and from the front desk till checkout they made me feel at home and ensured that i was comfortable. they did everything to make sure i was going to be pain free. that same night i was able to sleep without pain. thank you so much they are the best.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! My teeth weren’t in great shape but they never talked down to me or made me feel bad about it. They only offered solutions and gave me several courses of action so I could determine what would suit me best. I’m very glad I went to Northwoods Dental Spa today to get the news (and solutions!) I got.

I only went here to use my Amazon voucher for a one hr Swedish massage by Monica and OMG!!! Ammmazing! I don’t know if it was the fact I was so stressed and exhausted or she is just that fantastic but I am blown away! Monica gave def one of my top five massages ever. Maybe top three… but I will TOTALLY be back to find out! Very clean office, right next to HEB *strip mall* facing 1604 access road. All dental chairs seemed to be busy and at the beginning of my massage the suction the dentist was using was a little annoying- either it stopped or Monica was that good I didn’t even notice….I believe the latter Can’t say enough good things other than Monica just got herself one new regular!!! Please give her a try, she is attentive, pays attention to whatever areas you need and can go as hard or soft as you want!

This was my first time at this location so I was a little nervous because I was going for my wisdom teeth removal and then not knowing any of the people working there…just gave me a bit of anxiety. Fortunately, the staff was very welcoming and friendly! The lady who helped me get my X-rays taken and who monitored me while I was getting sedated was very professional and made me feel comfortable. She was always checking to ask if I was okay and I liked that. When the doctor came in, he was also really friendly and he worked very efficiently. The wisdom teeth extraction process took less than an hour, maybe about 30 min or so. I was very glad that it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be! I’m home now and I do feel some mild pain but it is normal. If I need any other teeth surgeries done, I will definitely be coming back to this location!

I LOVE MY DENTIST!!!! If you looking for a great Dentist and a staff that provides excellent service. Northwoods Dental Spa is the place to go. Dr.Irene Blaess is a professional she has set high standards for a dental work. The quality of service is unmatched with any other Dental office that I have visited over the years. I appreciate all the help and look forward for my next visit! Thank you so much again! I would give 5+stars if I would have this option.

Everyone there is very caring to my whole family. Dr. Blaess has started braces on my son and he’s excited about that. Ashton is very thorough when cleaning our teeth. She made me comfortable and found exactly what works for my sensitivity when cleaning my teeth. Ashton took the time and that says a lot about her and the whole staff. Wonderful place!

Northwoods Dental Spa is an AMAZING dental office providing the upmost quality care! We are all going through difficult and uncertain times but these individuals as a team and family still took their time to help people in pain and suffering. I am very thankful that I found this office and will definitely recommend them to friends and family!

I really love this place. Dr Blaess is usually my dentist, and she is wonderful. I have also had Dr. Land. She is also great. Their dental hygienists are the best. They are very, very friendly and helpful. They provide patient education without trying to guilt trip you and scold you (bad childhood experience elsewhere haha). They also are reasonable in price. I never feel like they are trying to push excessive dental work on me. They are honest and do only what is necessary. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Reception area: Dori movie. massage chair. Complimentary keurig beverage with a variety of tea, coffee, hot cocoa, and water bottles. Little to no wait time. X-rays: digital, fast, no re-takes, and most importantly no pain. Assistant and hygienist are very knowledgeable and friendly! Doctor is gentle and efficient. Xrays, exam, cleaning, all in one short visit- In and out in no time. Definitely a pleasant experience! Returning and referring pts to this office!
