I cannot say enough amazing things about this practice. I had a dental emergency right before a holiday weekend. Jenny was so helpful and caring to work me in as quickly as she could. Taylor, the hygenist had the sweetest personality and checked on me several times while I was waiting to make sure I was comfortable. This was my first time seeing Dr. Meister and she was amazing too, took her time to check what the dental issue was and provided a care plan for me. I have never had a bad experience at this office. It's lots of smiles, laughs and good service....if i could rate 10 stars I would!

Only positive experiences at this all-women dental office. The dentists and all their staff are efficient, professional, and kind, caring, and respectful. They do not leave you sitting out in the lobby waiting, but get you in a chair right away for care. I so appreciate that Dr. Arlinghaus and staff stay on top of all the latest technology, including digital x-rays and imaging. On my most recent visit Dr. Arlinghaus spent as much time with me as necessary to explain some options for treatment of problems caused by previous dental mishaps. I highly recommend this office.

My family and I have had the worst experience with this office. The dentist was phenomenal, but the secretary Betty has been rude to me and my family every time we had to go there. We had to stop using them due to insurance issues caused by their incorrect filing practices. This should not have ever happened, but they gave us no choice than to leave them. After changing insurance again so they would be in network they refused to see me. I have not experienced the rudeness and unprofessional behavior from dentist offices as I have here. I understand there are two sides to every story, but they made no effort to rectify my complaints despite multiple phone calls, emails and text messages.

Always a good feeling when you walk into a dental office for treatment and end up giggling with the staff the whole time. They do great work and the patient interaction was actual fun. Highly recommend this office!!

This entire office is outstanding!! They have resolved a problem with a front tooth with a cosmetic, but more importantly a functional plan. When you Google "professional, friendly, and extremely patient,"Dental Blu, Dr. Meister, Peggy, Betty, Meg and all staff will come up. I can be high maintenance when it comes to dental work, but you wouldn't have known that here. This was my first visit after a second opinion. They are my new dentist office and my grandson will be transferring here as well. My previous dentist retired and his replacement is a poor substitute and instilled no confidence. Thank you Dental Blu, thank you Dr. Meister, you gave me back my smile, ability to eat, and confidence!!!
