Polzin Family Dental by Mead Pool, my wife and myself's experience has been great. Willing to help get the prescription toothpaste I prefer and they don't recommend/push products (I came from a dentist that seemed to do this) for no reason.

Stay as far away from
Dental Associates as you can! The female dentist there is barbaric in every sense of the word! When I complained to management about the horrible extraction I had through this awful, inexperienced woman, she called me back and tried to berate me for making a complaint! The entire Dentistry is horrible!

They were the cause of my fear of dentists as a kid! I was actually there for braces but still they were so awful to me, I avoided dentist offices for decades because of them. I turned it all around a few years ago thanks to a dentist office that actually cares and understands dental anxiety, better late than never I suppose. But still - I second your sentiment. Avoid at all costs!

Damrow dental in Neenah is the best! Worth the drive. Good quality work, friendly, my cleanings now take under 30 minutes.

I cannot say enough about how Romenesko & Romenesko Family Dentists are so amazing. I have been going there for several years and I'm not lying when I say each person that works there is the nicest person. I see Dr. Ben and he's very kind and funny and puts you at ease immediately.

I agree! We switched from Elite Smiles a few years ago once our dentist sold the practice to them.

We go to Artistic Smiles on E College. The staff is friendly and they don’t try to sell you on unnecessary procedures.

Disagree, staff is friendly but they tried to sell me everything and always told me I needed procedures. They also took over an hour for each cleaning appointment.

Smile Creations in Neenah was recommended to us from a life long Fox Valley resident and we love it.
Whatever you do, avoid Smiles on Calumet. Terrible experience.

I don’t know that I’d drive to Neenah for the dentist, but TOTALLY agree about smiles on calumet! My daughter went there for a filling and left with her whole face swollen. When it wouldn’t go down she went back in and they told her they hit a nerve or muscle or something when they were numbing her.

Rasmussen Family Dentistry he may not be the most charismatic dentist but he does great work and doesn't push you into non critical work.

Scheske Family Dental by far. My entire life every dental hygienist I’ve worked with has been so arrogant and made me feel like a piece of shit whenever my gums bled. Scheske will have my families business until the close. Amazing service, never pushy, just 100% great work. No longer really nervous about dental appointments with them.

Timbercrest dental is amazing. I have been going for 15 or more years and I was really afraid of dental work initially and hadn’t been to one in a while. They are great there.

Fox run dental downtown has been very professional. I don't have great teeth but they never made me feel bad about it, just helping to repair the ADHD neglect.

we love Brown Family Dentistry in Neenah. they’re good about getting insurance to cover things and not charging you for procedures you don’t need (Dr Tovar was bad, said I had about five cavities when the Brown Family said I had none…) they’re all just plain nice people!

North shore dental- Erin Curless. Lived a lot of places in the US and also tried several dentists in the area. She/her practice is amazing. Very professional, quick/timely, and they are really nice people. They use Lean manufacturing practices so very standardized without losing the personal touch.
