I've been seeing Dr. Terse for years and him and his staff are among the kindest, most courteous and professional people I know. Stephanie and Andrea are meticulous in their cleaning and patient education and Dr. Terse is very prompt and thorough. I always feel so welcomed and so taken care of as a patient. Fillings were scheduled quickly and conveniently, and referrals to other providers have always been seamless. Debbie and Janice go above and beyond with scheduling, billing, and sorting out insurance issues. I've moved several times since I started seeing Dr. Terse and although their office is a bit of a drive for me now, I will never switch. I can't recommend this practice highly enough!

My wife and I have been with Dr. Terse for a number of years. He and his team are fantastic in all areas including dental care, billing, scheduling and the entire experience. I recently had another crown put in and the process was flawless, the cost was 100$ accurate and everything went exactly as explained by he and his team. I highly recommend Dr. terse for your dental care.
