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.

Absolutely a waste of time and money. Staff is rude and they are not in it to help people. If your too complicated for them they won't even talk to you. I've waited 4 months for an answer just called and they forgot all about me.

I made an appointment due to having some major issues with my teeth, I was able to get right in and it was a very pleasant experience. I was very pleased and look forward to seeing them again soon to get my teeth taken care of. Thank you Dental Clinics North!

I was a patient at your Cheboygan office. I have had about 5 fillings done with you and I would rate my visits fairly well, but with my last vist about a year ago I had a filling done on my front left tooth (#9). I had no issues with the initial filling, but here I am less then a year later, the filling that was done by you guys has penitrated the root of my tooth (#9). I paid $900 for the filling because it was a front tooth. With the filling penitrating the root my tooth is now dead. After an ER visit for draing a cyst that formed because of an infection caused by the tooth dying. I now have paid 1,200 for a root canal that would not have been needed without your poor execution of a normal filling. I have tried calling. Emailing and messaging to talk to someone about this situation and I have not had 1 returned form of contact. So I'm here to warn everyone of my experience with this office.

So my mom had to have 12 teeth taken out and was supposed to have dentures put In. Well a few days after the initial pulling she noticed a chunk of tooth that was still there that was super painful. They refused to do anything about it. Even had a second opinion to say it's a piece of tooth. Then they want to reschedule the first molding from may 3 to June 15th They just keep pushing it back and back because she wanted something done with her tooth. By the time she gets the dentures she's going to forget how to smile. Just one of the worst experiences ever. Highly do not recommend this place
