Everyone here is caring and professional. I have had to come here several times. And I am going through the process of getting implants installed. Had them inserted least than a week ago. I feel they are competent and highly skilled here. I cannot say that about other dental places in my past. I highly recommend this place, and Dr. Jaberi in particular.

Exceeded my expectations in every way. I was treated with respect, caring and compassion each step of the way. There was a lot of communication about each next step so I felt comfortable and confident. I am amazed it was so simpleI wish they offered full dental service, they are a class act.

I had a implant tooth procedure performed by Dr. Rake 2 years ago. He is great. He took his time explaining everything in detail. Great sense of humor yet very professional. That's why I am taking my 2 teenage grandsons to him for wisdom teeth removal. They will have the procedure performed under sedation like I did, go to sleep and when you wake it's done. Best way to go in my opinion. I highly recommend them. By the way and not to be overlooked, the entire staff is wonderful. They are very pleasant and extremely helpful Gary Amundsen - Eagan

Great service but didn't really appreciate when they lied to me over something so small. I had a tooth removed and asked if I had stitches put in. The nurses said no but that wasn't not the case cause I definitely had them cause they fell out and I've had stitches in my mouth before so I knew what they felt like. But they were so certain that they didn't put them in. Sometimes the little things matter don't lie to your patients..
