A stable, long-term relationship with your dentist is crucial for consistent care. You shouldnt have to reintroduce yourself to a new dentist every few years. You deserve a doctor who knows you and understands your needs. You deserve a dental professional who treats you like a person, not just another number. That dentist is Dr. Jacob Briese.

Any fears I had about going to the dentist disappeared the moment I met Dr Briese. He took care of everything I needed and wanted to have done, through the easy and the tough stuff. I know it's cliche to say they make me want to go to the dentist but 10/10 would invite the staff to the family cookout.

Are you scared of dental work? I was and I was putting it off for far too long. My teeth where terrible and it was affecting me being "me". I thank God that I found Manitowoc Family Dental and Dr. Jacob Briese! I needed multiple extractions and repair work. I experienced absolutely no pain throughout the entire process. I didnt feel like I was being judged. The entire staff is super friendly and Dr. Jacob Briese is outstanding. I would recommend him to anybody and if I could give a better than 5 star rating I would.

I have been at RLJ Dentistry since Dr Bandt retired from his family practice on Menasha avenue. I stayed with RLJ dentistry, even though they had an abundance of doctor changes, because of the existing staff. I have always had a fear of dentistry and am "white knuckled" when I'm in the chair until recently. I go religiously on schedule because I know that oral health is important. During my last preventative maintenance, a problem was detected with a tooth that was worked on five months ago by another dentist. I agreed with Doctor Jake to have it taken care of properly. X-rays proved that it was necessary to have re-worked. During the consultation with Dr. Jake, I began to become more relaxed and trustworthy of him because he sensed my frustration with all that was bothering me, RE: retired, being on a limited income and having to pay again for something that shouldn't have happened. He understood and offered a substantial discount on the procedure even though he wasn't liable!! I sensed his compassion and gentile professional approach during the procedure and could very easily feel his concern for my comfort while in the chair. Dr. Jake is here to stay and if you want a dentist that treats you like a friend, one who truly cares for your welfare and is exceptionally talented, both personally and professionally, THIS IS YOUR GUY!!!!

Best dental experience I had my whole adult life!!! Before I went it to get my root canal done, my coworkers kept telling me all this horror story about getting a root canal done. Came back to work right after the procedure, all of them where suprised.Both Dr.Briese and assistant McKenzie went above and beyond.
