Im an MAGD dentist! What does that mean for you and your family? MAGD stands for Master of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning Mastership takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Less than 2 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Masters. When you see a dentist with MAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Masters practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year not every dentist does this.

Dr. Kratzenberg and his team are truly the best. I've consistently had positive experiences for years with a variety of routine and non routines dental needs. Most recently he and one of his Dental Assistants, Lynn, have been of absolutely amazing support. I've been there 3 times in the last week and I have been blown away by their responsiveness, patience, and kindness working through the challenges I have had! Truly could not be more pleased with this dental practice! Thank you!!

I went to this dentist without dental coverage and he offered me a free checkup and x-rays for my mouth because I was in pain and needed help. Dr. Kratzenberg explained everything in a calm and assuring way. I also got a root canal done through him. He is also helping me with finding the best option for my wisdom teeth. He is however not the only one deserving of a glowing review. His assistant and staff are personable and also contributed to making my experience a pleasant one.

Due to Covid, my appointment was cancelled & rescheduled. Was contacted several times with new appointment dates that kept getting cancelled. Waited months to get an appointment. Completely understandable. Was even contacted and asked to come at an earlier date, but had to stick to the original appointment. Every time they contacted us about rescheduling they had the opportunity to tell us they no longer take our insurance. Email & text notifications were sent as well. Went to the appointment only to be told they no longer take our insurance. They had more than enough opportunity to contact us and let us know instead of wasting an hour of our time driving to and from and waiting in the parking lot to be seen. Completely unacceptable!
