I have been a patient of Dr. Katnick for over thirty years with my only complaint being the long wait times after arriving for an appointment. The office is always very busy and hectic but they do get the job done. My dentist for the last fifteen years has been Dr. Olsen and is likely the reason I keep coming to this practice. Dr. Olsen is an excellent dentist and cares about his patients. There have been several occasions when he has adjusted his price to make needed procedures affordable. I like the fact that he is very open and honest about what is needed. I particularly appreciate that he asks how I'm doing during procedures and will stop to add more numbing medication mid-way through a procedure when warranted. The only reason I didn't give five stars is the long wait times after arriving for an appointment.

I've gone to them for years and there is only 1 dentist that knows what he's doing. When my dentist cut his days down to 1 day a week, I was handed over to Olson who is heavy handed and very unlikable. The last time I was there Katnik examined me for a tooth ache and said everything was good in my mouth. I went to get a second opinion somewhere else and I had 4 cavitives and will need a root canal or my tooth pulled. This is unexceptable! I've spent thousands in this office and consider myself lucky to have gotten out when I did.

I have been going to Dr. Katnik for many years, and my children. I am impressed how fast the get me to the back. I love all the fish tanks, and staff. I have never had a bad experience, or my children. My son was 4 and needed a filling. They were very comforting to him and he did very well. Every time I go I get a cleaning on top of what I'm there for. I personally have had 2 crowns, and they are over 10 years old and doing great. I am now working to get my husband in. I recommend them. My favorite was they only charged me my deductible, took what insurance paid, and waived the balance. Very helpful on my budget.

Don't recommend AT ALL. Been going here for a couple years and was told my teeth were fine only one cavity that needed to be filled. I was told all my teeth were in good condition and nothing but the crown needed to be done. He looked over one of my other teeth that was also in pretty bad state and just said it wasn't serious and put it off. Now I have thankfully moved dentists and have to have my crown redone because it was done so poorly, and now I even need a root canal. I also have more cavities that I was never told about here. Spare your teeth and look somewhere else.

Very rude customer service from all parties. Dr Katnik is in the process of selling his practice. You will probably not see him unless you are an established patient. He has farmed out all business to younger, less experienced dentists. Some of these apprentice dentists have very bad "chair side manner." I had to demand a change of dentist after the first was incompetent. They charge you for not canceling 24 hours in advance. Yesterday I was there, and although I had 2 injections, I was not numb, and was asked to reschedule for April! They didn't even offer me a cleaning. Also they routinely over-book themselves, so be prepared for a long wait in their terrible lobby chairs. Not recommended.

Been going here for a little over a year and its always been sketchy but continued to give it the benefit of the doubt. However, this last appointment finally gave me a reason to wash my hands of them. Dr. Katnik needs to retire, he yells and screams at his staff, he's not very nice to his patients and he needs to be done/retire already- walk away and let someone else give this place a makeover. His staff is nice i guess but the place is ran like an assembly line, no one knows whats going on. Oh and the furniture is outdated and at the very least needs to be cleaned. The only person I found that knows what their doing there is Carol!

I've been a patient of this dental group since the 90's. It is a no nonsense dental group and does the work efficiently and at a reasonable cost.

Dr Olsen is so good. Shots with no pain, they have saved many of my teeth from past dentists. I have sent everyone I know here.
