Hard... For actual dental work, they're fantastic. For that, staff is always super nice non-judgey. For orthodontics, even small "emergency" repairs don't bother. My orthodontist retired and my new one is in Sioux Falls, they absolutely will not help for anything - for real, I just needed my retaining wire re-cemented - nope!

Dr. Ross and his staff are very personable and easy to work with. The office is welcoming and very comfortable. Most importantly they operate with a high level of integrity and do a great job communicating so that you can make informed confident decisions. 5 stars!

Very personable staff, everyone I met and interacted with was great. This was my 1st visit here and I will become a regular patient. Nice clean office in great condition with good technology. I'd consider this a step up from my previous (out-of-state) dental office. One big plus, they did their job and didn't waste my time trying to pressure me into buying unneeded services & equipment.

Hadn't been to a dentist in years. My dentist retired so went looking for a new one when a toothache occurred. Family Dental Center was recommended to me. Dr. LeAnn was great along with her assistances. Just found out she is leaving for Brookings. Just my luck. I wish her the best and look forward to meeting Dr. Schulte or Dr Zink at my next visit. UPDATE: Been back three times since and have met Dr. Zink. She has been great along with her assistants. A great bunch of people here and glad I came to them for my dental needs.

I just received the worst customer service I have ever experienced from the lady at the front desk. Erica and her dental techs are great but because of the secretary I will not be returning. My family and I will be finding a new dentist. Customer service is customer service...

The Family Dental Center provides great customer service and has a very caring staff. The receptionists always have smiles on their faces and greet you from the moment you walk in the door. My family has been seeing Dr. Erica and Dr. Ross for several years now. We couldn't be more happier with the service from all areas of the dental center. They always go the extra mile to make you feel at home!!
