She loves how rewarding this career is, and making a difference in peoples lives and smiles.

Once again, as it has been in the past, this visit was thorough and pain free. Jill and Dr. Badger are both very good communicators and explain everything and at the same time encouragers for good dental health. They understand this is a team effort between all of us. I left feeling positive about the entire experience. Additionally, they are very supportive of those with special needs. That is also greatly appreciated.

I'm a giant baby. I hate dental work. Everyone does, but I'm talking phobia level debilitating anxiety here. You can imagine what happens when you avoid the dentist for an extended period of time. I needed serious work done. I was in pain. Had a horrific experience with a literal sadist dentist and felt despondent. Someone recommended Tanabe Dental. They said, "Don't worry, they cater to cowards!". "Well I'm a coward, and I need to be catered to" I thought. That was about 17 years ago and I haven't a single complaint. Kari has taken great care of me, as has everyone else I've ever interacted with there. They never make me feel like a dork for needing nitrous for basic cleanings. They've bent over backwards to accommodate my issues. On top of all that, they do quality work and stand behind it. Great people.

We all know that a dental appointment is nothing anyone looks forward to, but that is starting to change for me. I have had nothing but great experiences with Dr Badger and his staff. From the moment I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, most of the staff said hi to me when they I walk by their stations, everyone is always happy there. They have perfected their numbing techniques, never feel a needle. They get me in and out quickly and I'm back at work. Can't say enough about that crew, just awesome people.

Like a lot of people I probably get a little too apprehensive when having to get dental work done, but every time I walk out of Badger Dental Group I am asking myself why was I even worried? From the front desk, to the Hygienists to Dr. Badger and his team, they all are super friendly and put me at ease. They ensure you are as comfortable as can possibly be and explain every step of the procedure along the way, plus the quality of their work is amazing! Between being from another part of the country to spending my adult life in the military, I have seen my fair share of dentists, but hands down Dr. Badger and Badger Dental Group are my favorites!

Had my cleaning and check-up with Jill - she was cheerful, caring, professional, and best of all, never hurt me. She is a great hygienist - I highly recommend her.

I've been going here for 10 years always in great care. Just went for a cleaning with Abby, my first time having her and I've had a lot of insecurities with the staining that built on my teeth during COVID. She was so understanding and sweet about it. Normally my gums just hurt after too, but today was so gentle I left happier then I was going in. I got home and already had a text reminder for my next appointment so helpful. Thank you Dr. Badger and staff!
