Hi, Im Dr. Brian Kwapisz, I grew up in Detroit and attended college at U of M- Ann Arbor. From there I attended dental school at University of Detroit Mercy, completing my degree in 1997. I worked as an associate at Family Dental Centers for 7 years. In 2005 I relocated to Charlevoix with my wife. We have 3 children. I enjoy outdoor activities like boating, fishing, camping, and hiking.
What I enjoy most about dentistry is interacting with different people and simplifying their treatment, especially those who are anxious or afraid. Many people have had a negative experience in the past. I enjoy providing them with positive and enjoyable visits while we get to know one another.

The staff there does and amazing job as far as cleaning and the front desk is super friendly, especially Al! However, I was a little displeased with the dentist not doing the white fillings as she thinks the aluminum is better for molars. Which I know they last longer and she educated me on that preference, I understand. However, it is my mouth and my money I'd prefer what I prefer and if it doesn't last as long thats just more money and job security for them. They did their job educated me and ultimately its my mouth and up to me. I had to go elsewhere which is a huge bummer. Furthermore, it takes months to even get in, Im talking like 6 months. Lastly, on a positive note I was super pleased with the sedation they had to do for my 3yr old.The entire staff working with them for that and the hospital was amazing. It took a long time as well but they were awesome!

Being a Social worker for over 30 yrs and in the medical field, what I saw and went through was horrible.

Horrible Dentist. Initial service was great. I am very nervous going to the dentist. I had an exposed nerve and needed to have a molar removed. All of staff was very nice and accommodating - UNTIL next visit was to be scheduled. I was flatly denied any further service UNLESS I rescheduled in 6 months. They did not want to put it in writing, so I audio taped response. Also, I was given my tooth back which is considered a biohazard. I was willing to start going once a year (after 13yrs not going) as compromise, however, I was not met halfway by Dr. So I will have to pull all my teeth instead of being a walking income every 6 months. Also, exceptionally LOUD music, patient faces the wall, and "gift pack" is generic, not taking into account individual allergies or spacing of teeth. Just confirms my dissatisfaction with government dentistry.

The staff are very friendly. The complaint I have is what they call walk in service. You call the day before to schedule a walk in but then when you arrive it is a very long time. I understand others have/had "normal" scheduled appointment,however, only one staff member checked on me while I sat there. Maybe set aside a day of the week for walk ins.
