Everyone is super friendly and I enjoy the comfortable feeling of the office! I have horrible dental anxiety and the Derksen office is out of network for me. It means a lot to go someplace that priorities my dental needs, and makes me feel taken care of.

Overall a great experience with my cleaning and wellness exam. I was taken back on time for a quick annual x-ray, then taken to the exam room. The Hygienist (im terribly sorry I forgot your name) was there quickly and got to work. She was terrific, she did a great job, and was very personable. Dr Derksen is always cheerful and thorough, but didn't need to spend much time with me thanks to regular brushing and flossing.

Everyone was amazing. I have an extremely shy 2 yr old who they were very patient with. We got him as far as up in the chair to push buttons and to open his mouth for a quick peek and the staff let him know he did great and that next time we could try again to get a cleaning done. I expected a much more traumatic experience - but it was the exact opposite - my son loved it! If you are nervous about how your kids will do - this is the place to go!!

My first visit today was very positive. Dr. Derksen took time to listen to my problem and spent time verifying what was bothering me. He addressed my problem and encouraged me to return if it is not completely solved.
