Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

BEWARE
A Mother's Worst Nightmare...My son was referred to this office for wisdom teeth extractions surgery. Maybe 20 min after check-in my son was called in. I was called in after my sons procedure by the nurse to go over post surgery recovery. My heart was crushed the moment I seen my son sitting in a wheelchair with an I.V. drip to his arm, gauzes coming out of his mouth & his pale face. The assistant nurse went over post recovery care instructions & prescriptions that had been submitted to the pharmacy. I am not going further into detail because this brings me into tears & horrible feelings like I'm reliving that day. I will say this, this office DDS intravenously gave my son a narcotic after they had already administered narcotics that caused two overdose seizures after leaving the office. The 2nd seizure caused him to loose consciousness. I got him to paramedics at the fire station where he was then transported to the ER. There he was administered Naloxone, it saved his life

poor customer service
On Aug 30th 2022, I called Dr Stettler's office for an appointment and I had questions. A person named Deborah helped and got me the information and the appointment she was very nice and helpful. I made a mistake and called back and asked a person named Denice I asked some questions on other work I should get done, whatever I asked she yelled at me. Well the question was if a certain tooth needs to be extracted, why she yelled at me I will never know. I was nice and polite throughout the conversation but I do respect myself so I told her I do not want Dr Stettler to do the dental work and hung up. They had the appointment the approval from insurance and they lost it all now because she yelled at me for no reason. I am not going to take that. I am a veteran too and she knew it, thanks for respecting a veteran. I was looking forward to the appointment but there are other dentists...Thank you Denice.

Well, where to begin.. This doctor honestly was amazing. I came in, and he was open and good at keeping me relaxed. This is saying a lot because i do not do needles and i have surgery! I had a fantastic experience, he got me in and explained what was going to happen step by step. I had my wisdom teeth removed, two were infected and he removed them with ease. I noticed there were not many reviews, but folks, this doctor is really good, and knows how to treat patients. Thank you Dr. Stettler
