He still finds time to enjoy the outdoors and is constantly striving for improving the patients experience at Aeris Family Dental. After working in the Phoenix area for a large dental group, Dr. Allen decided to come back home to Tucson. What he learned from his time working for non-dentists has provided the foundation for Aeris Family Dentals exceptional patient care.

Having previously worked for a large dental corporation and a public health clinic, Dr. Mortenson has seen two different extremes when it comes to dental practices.

My husband went for an emergency and they were aware of exactly what the last dentist said. They also knew of our financial situation and that the website said free exam and free x-rays. They charged us $110 for 2 x-rays and a 10 minute appointment to tell us that he needed to go to someone else.

Dr. Tuli is a breath of fresh air. Finally, a doctor who offered me partials instead of implants. She saved me a ton of money and my smile is perfect, once again. Thank you for your wonderful sense of humor!

I came in for extra dental work needed that was found during my check up. Dr Tuli was the dentist who did my dental work. She was awesome. Very careful and I felt no discomfort. Very friendly. I was super satisfied with the procedure and outcome.

We had a hard time finding a dentist for our kids with a positive experience. We are so glad that we found Aeris Family Dental. The dentist and staff are professional, thorough and patient with our kids. The kids are no longer scared to go to the dentist.

The level of rudeness over their attempt to double bill was extraordinary. They had my wife in tears. They routinely double bill and try to collect with strong arm tactics. My insurance company provided proof of prompt payment but still the attempts to double dip continued.

A truly great experience, from the time you walk in the door, you're greeted by friendly front office staff. The Dr assistants were very knowledgeable, then I meet with Dr Tuli, she has a gentle touch and friendly bed side manner combined with straight forward recommendations. I continue to recommend them, as they are an outstanding locally owned family business.

My husband and I followed Dr. Tuli here from her previous office as we are loyal patients of hers. She is kind, gentle, and an excellent practitioner. I enjoyed my first visit to Aeris today, the staff and office were excellent. Glad to hear there are two locations as well!
