Dr. Matthew Christopher attended the University of Michigan for undergraduate and Dental School. In 1999 he completed his residency at the Medical College of Ohio Hospitals in Toledo, which is now part of the University of Toledo Hospitals. This is where his passion and calling for treating children developed.
He has performed hundreds of hospital cases since that time and regularly treats 15-20 cases of children and mentally handicapped adults monthly. He starts treating children before their first birthday and firmly believes that early intervention along with education prevents any future worries.
His wife Alice and him have three children. They are involved in and support many communities and school projects to varying degrees. He was president of the Southwest District Dental Society of the Michigan Dental Association from 2003-2006. Alice and him enjoy many outdoor activities year-round such as fishing, camping, skiing, and hiking. His office staff and him thank you for selecting their office and look forward to treating your family like theirs.

I've been having trouble finding someone to fix my daughter's cavities. Most places are wanting to put caps on them but at an outrageous price. I called around finally this office that accepts both my insurances. Dr Christopher i felt was rude loud and intimidating, first he told me I was the boss but then tried to give me no option but to pull like eight of my kids teeth during surgery even implying 'maybe more' and also suggesting he's not even going tell me what exactly he's going to do other than pull out all her teeth leaving her with none in the back for like three years. Remind you the other places we're offering caps at an expensive price and I had found him on the phone. He started off by telling me I was the boss but then tried to strong arm me by making my only option his little pull all her teeth plan saying ' I had been punted to him' (not true I was suggested to him by google) and that 'this one was about to abcess and so is this one' to try to scare me into letting him remove all her teeth that still have the potential to be capped according to other dentists. He started telling me 'well im not the one who is respndsible for this' trying to shame me into it. I have been trying very hard to find a dentist i could both afford and has a feasible plan and felt like there no need t shame a parent who's trying to get her kids teeth fixed.He even went off on a political rant about how this is the governors fault or something several times. I'm going be be reporting him to the ada.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to pull a tooth, My appointment was scheduled out over 100 days when I obviously needed an extraction soon, after 97 days they called me to tell me to go somewhere else....

Most unprofessional experience ever. I had a filing, soon after, it fell out. I called and the gal answering the phone could not get me in for 10 days to even have it assessed. I however had a cruise booked and really felt it needed to be fixed or at the keast looked at. I knew it wouldnt be good to be in the Caribbean and have a toothache or worst. I called another denist who got me right in to get it looked at and fixed it the same day. I called Dr Christophers office to cancel the appointments since I had it fixed. Now that the bill is due they are in no way willing to adjust the bill. The office manager was short wirh me. She indicated she had called me back and acted like she I canceled the appointment without come in. YES, I did due to their inabilty to get me in to be evaluated prior to a vacation. I filled a complaint with our dental insurance, next the ADA...

I LOVE THIS DENTIST! Everyone is so nice and caring! I always feel like Emily goes above and beyond and is always willing to answer my 100 questions (thank you!)! Chelsea is always so kind and funny when I've had things done. I live an hour away from UC and I refuse to go anywhere else. I will always recommend this dentist office to anyone. You will not be disappointed!!

Family has gone here for well over 20 years. Never experienced any of the bad reviews. All care and procedures have been outstanding. Anything needing to be done is available right there. Staff very friendly. Business-professional, especially when busy, but always personable.

I don't like to post public but my experience with all the dentist have been bad. I have three kids that have got fillings with all three experience them to fall out in less then two years. Not to mention its always this doctor dont do this and that one will and some crazy story why they can't do there Job. Sad I'm so unhappy this last time they sent my older son home with no cap saying is mouth was to wet??????? We will not be back.

This place is great, but a certain doctor I had was not. Dr. Juhnke was by far the worst doctor I have ever had in my life. If I could give this review 0 stars then I would. I had come in for a tooth extraction, nitrous was asked for but not given, he barely numbed me, and then he starts yanking at my tooth. I start screaming and crying because my nerve is obviously not numb. After him telling me to stop crying and that it's only pressure that I'm feeling, he tells me that he "can't work like this" and walk away while I'm sitting there with my tooth half gone and crying in pain. I had to drive a half hour to Coldwater for an emergency tooth extraction where they properly numbed me and extracted my tooth perfectly fine.
