A patient had a reaction to a certain drug at a previous dentist, so it was written on her chart not to use that drug. This patient continued to see Dr. Morang for 5 years. Then, this patient was given the drug again. What did this dentist do? Nothing!!!! In fact, this patient was blamed by Heather, who had prepared this drug for the doctor. Dentists are doctors, they go to school, become licensed, and they are responsible for their patients. Let's make him accountable. Let's show Heather that mistakes should be owned. The patient who is your care should NEVER be blamed.

Hands down this has to be the best dentist & staff I have ever had to work with. With my profession I have moved around a lot and had to change doctors and dentist often. Professionalism, promptness & superb work is the only thing you will get from Dr. Morang and his staff.

Experience was fine. I was always told my teeth were excellent however I'd been having gum recession that was caught later. They also didnt communicate that in my last cleaning they charged it as a peridontal cleaning which wasn't fully covered by my insurance. Finally, the records request experience is what lost them a star. There were apparently no notes, just one X-ray in their records for me that they sent as a low-resolution photo. Had to retake everything with my new dentist.

Dr. Morang and his staff are excellent. I have a fear of dentists that goes back to childhood (had a dentist slap me.) Dr. Morang and his staff were extremely sympathetic and sensitive to my anxiety and really put me at ease. Every procedure I had with him, he takes his time with you and explains everything step by step. If you have any kind of dental anxiety you understand how important that is. Dr. Morang will help you come up with a dental plan that is easy for you to accomplish and afford. I am happy to say that after almost a year of seeing him, all my major dental issues are behind me and my teeth are in excellent shape. Thanks to him and his lovely staff my fear of going to the dentist is behind me!

DO NOT GO HERE FOR COSMETIC WORK!!! I went to see Dr. Morang to fix a chipped tooth. Instead of bonding it he used a tool to shave the tooth down to make it even. He said he needed to do the teeth around it to help blend it in. I get home and the 3 teeth he worked on all have "craze lines" on them which are basically cracks that don't extend through the whole tooth! One tooth literally has 5 with one going from the bottom all the way to the top of the tooth!!! My teeth look worse than before I went in and there is nothing I can do about the lines short of getting my teeth replaced or veneers that would cost thousands of dollars! Dr. Morang, if you care about your patients you should never touch that tool EVER again!

As far as visits to the dentist go, I've had nothing but good experiences at this office. Lindy and Amanda are pleasant and skilled hygienists. Dr. Morang and his assistants have done excellent work on my teeth for several fillings. The staff at the front desk were professional and attentive both in person and over the phone. Highly recommend.
