My family has really liked the service here. We've had 4 different hygienists all of them have been wonderful (They give you the option for the same hygienist, but because of illness or convenience, we've tried multiple) My kids love their dentist too. Everyone who works here is very kind, and professional

The dental hygienist Jeanette has the best manner I've ever encountered. Her first priority is patient comfort. It's life-changing to feel good about going to the dentist's office.

Kylee and Dr Wenzel are AMAZING they always take great care of me. They answer all of my questions and are extremely patient. They have helped me greatly with anxiety I had previously about going to the Dentist. I actually look forward to my appointments because of how wonderful they both are.

I was very impressed with the scheduling of appointments that I needed in order to have some dental work done in a tight timeframe (my apologies for not recalling the name of the person who assisted me with this). My first appointment was also handled very efficiently and both the dentist and dental assistant were very pleasant and extremely competent. What more do you want from a visit to the dentist?!!

Family Dental has provided my dental care for almost 30 years. Now after retiring and leaving the Rutland area I am switching to another office. I just hope that I will find an office with the great quality and care I have grown accustomed to. Great thanks to Family Dental!
