Broke 3 teeth and Dr Rottjakob saved them with his connections and dental experience. The nurses and the Doc are cool people and the office is in a convenient location.

Dr. Rottjakob has been my family dentist for more than 15 years. He always responds quickly and effectively to dental emergencies. His work meets the highest professional standards. His office staff is friendly and helpful in dealing with insurance issues. Visiting a dentist is nobody's favorite activity, but I can't imagine a better dental experience than what you get in Dr. Rottjakob's office.
