Her patients love her gentle, compassionate manner and are always made to feel comfortable and appreciated.

She also completed a Postgraduate Program in Cosmetic Dentistry at the University of Minnesota in 2008.

Dr. Laura Collier has been my dentist for the past 5 years, and she is by far the best dentist I have ever had. She takes such great care with all things, from comfort to aesthetics. She is so gentle and kind and funny. I honestly look forward to all of my dental appointments, even when I have to have work done. She recently helped me fix an old chip in my front tooth, and she spent SO much time making sure the end result was just right. She is amazing. Dr. Stark is also wonderful, and their entire staff is lovely. Never a bad experience, so just go!
