If I could rate them higher than 5 stars I would! Switched to Bemidji Family Dentistry from Aspen Dental. Shortly after moving here I scheduled a new client appointment at Aspen dental. They never cleaned my teeth and told me I had 6 cavities which then turned into 7 cavities by the time I got to the counter to schedule the appointments. It all felt super shady so I cancelled all appointments and let them know I planned to get a second opinion. My coworker recommended Bemidji Family Dentistry and I'm so glad she did! Staff are amazing and they took their time to do a deep clean and to check their X-rays against Aspen's X-rays. End result was ZERO cavities! Trust your gut people! Also, I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone who will listen!!

If I could give them a 6th star, I would! I have some serious dental work that needs to be done, and I wanted to find a dentist that I could get to know more on a personal level. After all, it should be that way. After reaching out to 2 offices in the Bemidji area that did not respond to me, a co-worker recommended Bemidji Family Dentistry. I can not be more pleased with the recommendation! Everyone I have associated with in that office has been very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very understanding. I have an older son who has had some bad experiences, and after talking with him about my own experience at Bemidji Family Dentistry , he agreed to make an appointment. After his first visit with Dr. Metcalf and her staff, he has completely changed his viewpoint on his dental health. We both have treatment plans ready to go and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. You won't be either. Give them a call!

This business discriminates against patients based on what they consider undesirable coverage.

We always have a great experience at Bemidji Family Dentistry. Everyone is very kind and knowledgeable, even my 11-year old doesn't mind going in for his appointments and he use to be terrified of going to the dentist!

Let's start with I hate the dentist. And rephrase that to hated. Karlie and the dentist have made it to joy to come in. They remember things about life as well as my son. They make it easy to want to come back every 6 months rather then wait it out. I appreciate them so much!

I have a lot of anxiety about the dentist. Dr. Metcalf is so friendly and knowledgeable. She shows genuine concern and is thorough. Her and her staff make me feel very at ease and were very understanding. I do not avoid the dentist like I have in the past. I would highly recommend them!

Everyone - front desk, assistant, hygienist, Doctor- were all so kind. By far the best dental experience I have ever had. Heated neck wrap & essential oils during my dental cleaning was such a great touch.
