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.

All of the staff are compassionate, professional and friendly. The dentist is the most skilled dentist I have ever been too in 30+ years. The previous dentist is gone to private practice. I did recently see a new female dentist there and she did a nice job! Stick to the one in East Jordan rather than Mancelona.

Extremely unprofessional, rude, argumentative and disrespectful. Never in my life have I been treated with such disrespect at an office. I have a 2 year old son that has had a tooth ache for almost a week. I was not told when I made the appointment that my 4 year old daughter would not be allowed in the building for the appointment. They tried to cancel and reschedule the appointment because my daughter was with me. I was already in the parking lot so I had to quickly get off the phone to make arrangements and pull my sister away from her children to come watch my daughter so I hung up. I called them back immediately letting them know someone would be there in 5 minutes to get my daughter. The dental hygienist came out to the parking lot to get us for our appointment. At that time she took it upon herself to scold me in the parking lot and call me rude, telling me I needed to apologize to the receptionist for hanging up to make arrangements for someone to get my daughter when the situation was caused by that same receptionist by not telling me that my daughter wouldn't be allowed to come in. I stated that it was unacceptable for her to be scolding me in the parking lot in this way and she started to argue with me saying that just because of Covid, you people expect us to cater to all your needs or something along those lines. She then walked away from me and attempted to cancel the appointment right then and there. It is most certainly not the hygienist's place to scold a client, insult them and then have a very public argument in a parking lot. This person should be fired for this but I guarantee there will be no discipline because she is their ONLY hygienist. The woman who runs the place then came out and continued the argument in the parking lot, bringing the hygienist with her which only fueled the fire. My son ended up not being seen because I refuse to be treated with such disrespect and I will not allow people that treat me in this way to have anything to do with my children. We are more than happy to take our business somewhere that treats us with respect.

The front desk staff and dental hygienists are all amazing, it's just the dentist seems like everything is a total rush. She numbed my boyfriend in the wrong place twice for his fillings and my boyfriend and I both have been in pain since getting our fillings done here, we thought maybe it was a fluke but then discovered how miserable we both are even days and weeks after having our teeth worked on. I'm scared to have anymore work done since every time I eat I'm in pain and am scared to have them try and fix it.

They called and got me in about a month before my scheduled appointment, receptionist was extremely nice. The doctor came in and got everything fixed and pulled a lot faster than I was expecting it to take. Everyone was extremely nice. My kids get all there dental work done here because the staff is awesome at what they do and they make the kids feel comfortable and explain everything there going to do!! Very happy with my last couple experiences and will continue to go back for all dental needs!! Thank you again
