I experienced an unusual amount of pain with my most recent visit from the hygienist. She seemed careless as she knocked my teeth several times while withdrawing instruments from my mouth. I was very tense. I do not wish to be seen by this person again.

My family has been with Cedar West Family Dentistry for a very long time. This fact alone speaks volume about our long-term relationship with Dr. Keller and his dedicated staff. Dr. Keller's expertise coupled with the care and attentiveness of his dedicated team members makes this a special place to go when it comes to our dental care and general well-being.

I had an old crown fall out. They did a very nice job of getting me in at least to look right away. It turned out to be a quick fix, but these dentists are super busy these days.

I hadn't had an established dentist for a number of years and I'm glad I found Cedar West Family Dentistry. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and has been great to work with. If you recently moved to Richfield or are looking for a new dentist nearby, I'd recommend Cedar West Family Dentistry.

I have been a patient at Cedar West since I was a kid, I'm 40 now! I've continued to be a patient at Cedar West, despite moving across the metro, because of the exceptional care I receive. The staff is amazing! They are professional but personable and genuinely care about each one of their patients. Dr. Keller is extremely skilled in his trade and his work is top notch. The entire team is dedicated to making your experience a good one and giving you quality service start to finish! They have truly taken care of me over the years and I'm deeply grateful.

I had an appointment for a dental issue requiring attention sooner rather than later and was given a prompt appointment. The staff was extremely welcoming, making sure I was as comfortable as possible, explaining each part of the process as we went along, was very patient answering my questions. Dr. Keller stressed several times to contact him with any concerns. I have problematic dental issues and was very pleased with my visit today, the interaction with staff.
