I recently was at Dr Zeip's for my by annual teeth cleaning and they noticed that one of my crowns was cracked very badly. I had one week before I was leaving for a three month trip and they squeezed me in right away to get a temporary crown and were very very helpful. They even glued it on extra hard so that it would stay for at least three months while I was gone. Dr Zeip and the whole office went out of their way to be helpful to me. Really very much appreciate it. Sincerely Cherie Fischer

My husband and I, and our daughter, have been patients of Dr. Zeip since he opened his practice in 1998. My husband and I have needed a variety of work done, including crowns and bridges, and the results are always expertly done. Dr. Zeip fully explains what work needs to be done and discusses a schedule for completion. The hygienists are also proficient and pleasant. The office staff are always courteous and informative about charges and payment, and will pursue answers to questions about insurance whenever needed. We highly recommend this office for both preventive and other dental care and treatment.
