20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Grand Rapids, MI (2022 Updated)

Attended in 2013 and now again from 2018-2020. Lived in the North Hall dorms so far (the new ones with suites that are a bit expensive) and they're about as pristine of living as you're gonna get in a community college, walking distance to everything. Since limited parking space is arguably NMC's biggest problem in the late 2010's, being able to walk to classes is a huge advantage since parking there is a joke. I told them to build a parking garage. They seriously need one. That said for a community college this is a 5-star place to be, but the dorms people are talking about in negative reviews, The East Hall dorms, really do seem pretty awful judging from the 2 times I've been in there to visit friends. There's also on-campus apartments, for 21+ students. So basically here's how to do housing here: East Hall: if you're 18-20, have no regard for quality living and just want a place to goof around, study a bit, sleep, and munch on snacks between cafeteria meals (cheapest) North Hall: You're 20-29, have a bedroom's worth of stuff, and need a full kitchen w/ a refrigerator to share with 3 others, and would share a nice cleanly bathroom with 1-2 others and would like a nice shared living room area with couches. (usually most expensive option they have) Apartments: If you won't settle for less than regular apartment standards of living, have kids, spouse, etc., or have enough furnishings to fill out multiple rooms (middle cost option, I think) Between having a marine technology school, a stargazing observatory, an audio recording studio, an aviation school, an automotive garage, a music & art building, nursing programs galore, and a brand new "innovation center" going up in the year 2020, this is one of the best community colleges you'll find. If they'd switch to renewable energy like Ohlone College in Fremont, CA (another hidden gem of a community college), I'd rate NMC a *solid* 5 stars, instead of a 4.7 stars that I rounded up to match what's coming in the near future.Connor Louiselle

I have completed four semesters at NMC living off-campus. I knew people who lived in the dorms but I wouldn't recommend them to my friends or family. The dorms closely resemble a prison with white brick walls, shared bathrooms (between 4 students, 2 rooms connected by the bathroom). The prices for these dorms are quite expensive in fall and spring semesters. The teachers for the most part are amazing. They are all (that i learned from) highly intelligent and friendly. Most often they are flexible and considerate. My only problem with some teachers is that in the beginning of the semester at the first class they would often claim "We are trying a new system out, this is the first time and i think it'll work better this way." Now… I don't know what that's supposed to mean but in almost all of these cases it leaves you attending a very unstable class with new and unused materials/processes. These were always extremely weird and complicated situations that made me view the teacher as less professional by the end of the term. They had the knowledge, they just delivered it very clumsily. I maintained above a 3.5 GPA which wasn't too difficult at all. You just had to study and be able to comprehend the class by yourself. You can't really rely on the teacher's new methods or materials because they are pretty much half-baked. My final and most weighted complaint is their prices for tuition/bookstore/cafeteria/dorms. They are literally raping your pockets. As you struggle to even attend school, do NOT plan to buy anything from the cafeteria. Extremely overpriced. The tuition costs are absurd for anyone outside of grand traverse county. I just feel like this school has great teachers whose bosses are after the student loan surge. I love learning but if it comes at these prices, i'ma go at it alone. With free online courses. Who cares that i didn't pay 40k+ for my nice degree. I have certificates that say the exact same thing–for free.Anthony Potrafke

WARNING–DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS. No A/C, No refrigerators and if your room is missing something good luck getting a replacement.. You're basically living in a sweat box for months on end. The staff is extremely up tight and obviously have never been anywhere but Traverse City and who hate their lives and have nothing else better to do than to kick people who aren't from the area out. A student was just kicked out of the dorms for a leaky Capri Sun juice pouch that was left unattended in the dorm hallway. Apparently this student will be facing carpet damage repair fees along with not receiving a reimbursement of nights that weren't spent there. Everything you do is on camera, this place is like big brother. You can only enter and exit one way in the dorms so they can watch you every time. Don't plan on driving around the campus at night unless you want to get pulled over by a rent-a-cop and get the 3rd degree on whether or not you live in the facilities no matter how many times you show a room key and ID. After all the harassment from the staff/ security and sleepless sweaty nights spent here I honestly cannot recommend these facilities to anyone looking to get a nice nights sleep, even if you are only staying for a weekend summer course, it's not worth it. Not to mention its $750 per month– this again is no A/C, no fridge, no kitchen, its just your desk, bed and your sweat. For around $600 a month you can live in an apartment, get much better accommodations and have the comforts of sleeping at night with A/C.Daniel Setser

My husband was on the nursing wait list for ten years. He is a veteran and a hard worker. He was told the RN wait list was 2-3 years by Sue Helmer. The professors goals are to make students repeat classes for monetary gain. This is what happened to my husband and several of his classmates. Failure is encouraged at this school. Students teach themshelves. My husband have retaken most of his classes because some of his teachers could not find proof of his final grades. Also the office lost his important paper work. He was marked down for failing the classes, and had to retake them over. Cora Beute, and Michelle Richter refused to look into their system, and marked him absent for classes when he was present. The financial aid department charged him twice for many of his classes.The administration took advantage of him having auto pay for classes. He was overcharged several of times. One thing after the next. My husband is now attending Grand Valley University. He had to retake more than seven classes over because some of GRCC classes are not transferable. A bunch of time wasted. My husband regret going to GRCC. I will recommend anyone to run from this scum of a place.护士Diane

Admission staff isn't very helpful. I'm being told on the FAFSA and by others if you live alone you do not have to fill out the parent information field just to call up here and have them tell me that's not the case. I'm in my twenties with my own place. Not seventeen just getting out of HS. I graduated five years ago so why do I need parent info? This is the latest addition though to a list of complaints. Just finally annoyed enough to leave a review. I've been considering for the last few years going to school and I have not committed yet due to personal circumstances. But every time I do seriously set my sights on it I find myself frustrated with the people I end up speaking with. Only giving two stars because I'm hopeful that my experience with the education side of things will be a lot better than all the tedious steps you have to do just get in and get assistance.A. N Marshall

My short experience has been good here. Although parking can be a mess, and often times people's card will not allow them to leave (it lets them in though) and the person on the telecom won't let them out, they want them to back up (when there's 20 cars bumper to bumper in line waiting to leave) and come inside. Or they can pay 4x the regular amount via credit card and then they'll be able to leave right then and there. Unnecessary hassle, a joke considering they're getting thousands of dollars every DAY simply from parking fees alone. Should attend common sensical decency meeting once a year.Patrcia Clemons

When I was looking into going to Ross I was a little apprehensive because I wasn't sure if this program was really any good. From the minute I walked in the door all my apprehension was gone!! The admissions staff made me feel right at home and walked me through the process step by step and answered all my questions. The financial aid staff was wonderful and answered all my questions about my financial aid and got it processed quickly. The school director was absolutely the best!! She takes time to actually sit you down and find out how you are doing in your courses and she is available to fix any problems you may have. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable about the subjects they are teaching you and are also available to answer any questions and offer whatever help you may need. Career services literally will not stop looking for employment for you until you have a job in your field. The best decision I ever made was going to Ross and it has literally changed my life forever!!Carol Riddle

Honestly so disappointed. A complete lack of communication from day one. Today should be my graduation date, and I can't even get an email response about anything. The education I received was so far off track from what I was told I would receive (Billing and Coding) and I think I might be qualified to answer phones and make minimum wage now that I am done. I get plenty of communication about sharing on social media but cannot even get a response about what I am to do next now that my qualifications for completion are met. Not even something stating I am done. I completed my externship then nothing. Like I dropped off their map.Betsie Reed

Updates needed for the sake of the teachers and students as far as efficacy goes. Machinery such as autoclaves and centrifuge could stand to be updated as well. All staff and personnel at Ross is absolutely wonderful and I have and will continue to sing this school's praises. I can't believe how quickly time flies when you're having fun learning and meeting others with the same goals. All teachers were extremely personable and helpful. I will miss my Ross family when I go, but I am so proud of myself and feel so accomplished for exceeding my own expectations here.Renae Cunningham

Nice buildings, TERRIBLE instructors, especially in their medical-focused science programs. Instructors changing assignments, deleting submitted work, and failing entire sections of classes.. Instructors that play the "gotcha" game, attempting to fail and trick you on material and assignments, as opposed to trying to teach. Have professors ripping material directly from other programs and having you do it for assignments (other universities) that still has other universities logos all over it. Also, you're on your own, admin will not respond / is not on your side. I would spend my money and time elsewhere if AT ALL possible. Had an instructor claim they have the "best program in the state" and then fail to respond by email for about 3 months, and had to get Dean involved. Feels like I'm interacting with high school students for professors. I am from out of state and it turns out Iowa has basically no resources regarding escalating issues with professors – what they say goes and that's it, regardless of how inappropriate or unproductive. DO NOT trust your education to this program and these instructors.Rone Parent

Kirkwood is a fantastic school with high level talent. The college seems to view itself as a service to paying customers (a bafflingly rare delight), and offers courses that inspire good work and deep thinking. Kirkwood *far* exceeds any other educational institution I've attended. The admission process is transparent, the courses you're paying for are clearly outlined, the requirements of the course are made plain at the start of the term… man. I can't say enough nice things. And you know what? I never once had anyone correct me to say "Call me 'Doctor' ". That may not mean much to you, but it meant a hell of a lot to me. Do yourself a favor and go here for your first two years with an eye to transfer on, should that be your aim. You're not just getting more for your money. You're flat out getting more.Claiming Light

Least understanding faculty. Called 6 hours after my deadline to cancel a test that I paid $95 dollars to take. The program director for CE was rude and condescending stating that she would not refund my exam because I was simply 6 hours past the 24 hour deadline. This school is clearly just out to rob people of their money and it’s sickening. I’ve had nothing but a bad experience and it’s crazy to me because at one point I was so excited to attend. Hope they’re happy turning a profit once again whether big or small.Dreya Bauldry

It's a great challenging course. A long course compared to other courses in the area. Signage needs updates but bring your A game . I enjoyed the challenge and can't imagine how tough this will play in spring and summer. I will definitely make time to play in the summer. Had a lot of fun today and that's not easy with this crowd.lolJamie Zeigler ll

I think its ridiculous that I have to pay for my own transcripts to be electronically transferred to another school! Havent you gotten enough money from students over the years? I could see if they had to use paper etc. But this is an electronic recordHeifer Cup

Save your money and go to a real school. Poor instruction and almost no guidance from instructors. Very unprofessional conduct in classroom. Instructors were more interested in flirting with each other than teaching. Go anywhere elseDon Lown

Very poor experience receiving record information for my hometown dentist following a root canal. I was told wonderful things about the college and was very disappointed in the staff working behind the desk and with paperwork. I’ve called 3 times to kindly ask them fax over X-Rays within the last month. I have signed release forms stating they can release that information to my current dentist so that I can get a cap put on said tooth and have had no response. I got an infection following my root canal and called to ask what steps to take in order to take care of the infected root canal as I was nearly 25 weeks pregnant when it was preformed. No call was ever returned when I left my message. I ended up in the emergency room here in my hometown the following night due to excruciating pain in my jaw. Simply said, the work they do on teeth is great. The infection was no big deal, and took care of itself after being issued a round of antibiotics from the ER staff. I do recommend their students and think it’s a wonderful program. However staff and people taking care of records and returning calls is either very understaffed or lazy. I am very displeased with the lack of communication I have received.Mackenzie Tyler

Everyone should be informed that the college of dentistry will not prescribe pain pills after having twelve teeth pulled at once. And they will not tell you this until you ask for them. The information given is not consistent from one student to the next. My husband had twelve teeth pulled and spent thousands of dollars and he was told to take ibuprofen and Tylenol. So if you prefer barbaric dentistry and plenty of pain then go ahead and make that appt otherwise I recommend you spend the extra money and go to actual professionals. And Vicki, the client care rep, doesn’t really care that you are paying the school thousands of dollars she will still speak to you like a child. I believe we are suppose to be patients(clients). You should appreciate the priveledge of people allowing you to use them as guinea pigs. And not treat people like they are low income peasants. It might not be as expensive as a professional but we are still spending thousands of dollars. This just confirms what I’ve always thought of dentists. I’ll never go to another one. I hope this isn’t the way your school is teaching students to treat their patients.Georgia Lee

I got referred from Blustem for a root canal. Previous to that, I got referred from Admire and was told by Admire that UNL would call me back for an appointment. Three weeks later, they still didn't call me back, so I called them. They never called back. Today I called as Bluestem made me a new referral and was told that I was dismissed from the dental college for not keeping and making an appointment! whay6?! They told me I had an appointment in September that I missed. That is false. I was nwver contacted aboyt an appointment!1 Ugh. At this point I will probably go somewhere else and just get my @3!$ tooth removed.Shannon Hayes

Coming into this campus was very welcoming and helpful and they only wanted to see only what was the best for there students. the teachers/staff are very passionate on what they do/teach at there school and push you to keep going, it is an accelerated class and very hands on which gives you the best experience provided to get you ready for your career. I am happy I could be apart of the ross family and recommend anyone to make the next step and start there career.Michaela Cole

Great and supportive staff across the board. I like the small class size so you can actually speak with your instructor and get hands on help to learn the material. Some of the assignments through RossEdge were more focused on personal growth than the basics of the program I came in to learn about which I found frustrating on occasion. Also the SimChart assignments can be highly repetitive. Overall it was a great experience though.Travis Haines

I had an a amazing experience here at Ross. I was taught and prepared in the right way for me to go out into the medical field. Every staff member here cares about their students and wants them to succeed in life and to me that was the best thing to experience for someone who struggled in school. I cannot say enough about this place super blessed to have chose Ross as my medical school!Taylor Bilkovsky

Just WOW! Totally blown away by my experience today with everything and everyone I encountered during my visit at this dentist office! Knowing I need a lot of work to my peridonal disease under control after two negative experiences elsewhere I was leary. I felt at ease the minute I walked in. The lobby is darling and screams comfort not sterile boring seating. The front desk gals are so friendly, acknowledged me right away even tho they clearly were busy on the phones. Great vibe so far… I didn't get to sit in the comfortable chair for long. No wait!! What? My hygienist (forgive me for not retaining her name) was thee most knowledgeable of what was going to take place procedurally, what the office offered holistically and importantly what was going on with my mouth/teeth/gums from xray to exam before even seeing Dr. Adam. The fancy imagary technical equipment seems top notch! The icing on the cake was meeting Dr. Adam P! Bedside manner A+ Knowledgeable A+ Put me at ease A++ Trust A++++ Wit A+ The whole vibe here was worth the visit. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new way to dentist! I am not looking forward to all the dental work. Or the bill…However I am looking forward to seeing everyone again knowing that now I can relax and them do their thing! They professionally nailed it from start to finish today in my book. (May even make a journal entry about my experience.) Thanks, y'all! See ya soon. Jennifer GuernseyJennifer Lopez

I can’t say enough great things about Precision Family Dental!! I am one of those dental patients (or was!) that despised going to the dentist, for anything. After finding Precision Family Dental, I now enjoy my visits/appointments, and that is because of the care, patience, understanding and overall professionalism of the amazing staff Dr. Adam has in place! There is nothing “magical” about this facility, however the approach to care and the personal interaction the staff shows to each individual as they treat you like a real person instead of just a patient, is what makes this place truly special!! They don’t try and “sell” you on unneeded/unnecessary work, they provide the best care and truly encourage preventive treatments for a healthy beautiful smile!!! I highly recommend this facility for all your dental needs, you won’t be disappointed but instead very happy!!!Alex Niesen

Just visited again to have another cleaning and an old porcelain crown replaced. I did not want the heavy metal of the crown in my body with so much science to show how unhealthy it is.. The hygienist, Katie, was amazing. She explained everything and was so pleasant to talk to. Dr. P and Hannah did a great job of removing the old crown and, best of all, they were able to make a new crown for me right in the office and I was all finished in one visit. So much better than having to come back a week later. I really appreciate the way Dr. P. explained what he was doing as he moved along. I highly recommend this dental office. Everyone is so helpful and nice. I happily scheduled my next cleaning with them.John S.

Was recommended here by a coworker after a terrible experience elsewhere. I have every confidence in Dr B and Dr VL for myself and for my children. The office is professional and inviting. It does not feel like they are ever trying to sell you something you don’t need. The top priority is my dental care, now and future. Hygienists are knowledgeable and friendly and I really have no complaints. I recommend with no reservations for all dental care needs and trust their recommendations for anything outside of their territory ie orthodontics.Megan Albro

I had a very good visit with Dr. V. I am new to the practice and have a background with many years of painful dentistry growing up. As a result I get nervous just thinking about going. I rarely have a cavity anymore. I did and she and her assistant were so compassionate and supportive. It went so well and was a hard spot for her to reach. It went well, no pain during and after the hard to reach area. I was so appreciative of their concern and support so I was less stressed. Thank you so much for everything!!Jane Heisenfeldt

I was a patient at Grandville Dental for many years before relocating to Phoenix five years ago. Recently I have returned to Michigan. While in Phoenix I tried two different dentists and was not happy with the care I received. Now that I’m back in Michigan I am receiving care once again from Grandville Dental. It is so nice to be back with a dental care provider that I know I can trust. If you are considering a new Dental team I cannot recommend Granville dental highly enough.Danny Kasper

Absolutely love coming here to get my teeth checked. Mark is very kind and made my first visit very comforting describing what problems were and were not evident with my teeth and gum line. Thank you all so much for what you do to ensure each experience entails a minimal wait time, a professional staff and a friendly safe environment.Jacob

Great staff, everyone is so nice and they really do a great job with all my dental cleanings and care. Also they don't try to sell you on anything you don't need which I have experienced other places. Would absolutely recommend!Carrie

Best dentist office in Grand Rapids! The whole staff is kind and so nice! I am scared of needles and they always help comfort me so I do not have a panic attack! They do quality work and care for your needs!reece unger

As soon as you walk in Bander Dental you are greeted with the upmost friendly staff! I am a new goer to this office and I was very impressed with how at home I felt here. Everyone was helpful and very knowledgeable about the position they hold which made me feel even more comfortable and that I was in good hands. I noticed that all staff work together as a team and are very pleasant to one another which makes the experience all the better. Office is very well kept and clean. From check in to check out everything operated smoothly. I always recommend Bander Dental to my friends and look forward going to my appointments there!Juliet Goodrich

I had my first appt with Bander Dental Group last week and I was super impressed. Everyone was very friendly, and I felt at ease right away. I had the best and most thorough dental exam, and was given various options. This office has the technology AND patient care standards to meet ANY of your dental needs. I am impressed, and I have had extensive dental work done over the years due to injury. Looking forward to my next appointment!Brandi Damveld

All of my experiences with Bander Dental Group have been great! They were the first dentistry that I checked out when I first moved to GR after being referred to them by multiple people. Staff is nice, friendly and always answers any questions I may have. I did not leave my first appointment feeling the need to continue looking around. They also are the most advanced dentist I’ve ever been to in terms of technology and tools.Tyler Adams

I am one of those people that does NOT like to go to the dentist. Along with that I have Trigeminal neuralgia, a pain condition dealing with nerves in my face. Finding a dentist who understands my concerns and condition was no small endeavor. The attention to detail at this office far exceeded my expectations. Every member of this caring team is exceptional in my opinion! They listen, care, and take top-notch care of my teeth. My entire family now sees Dr. Edgerle and his team.Paula Guppy

My family have been patients with Dr. Edgerle for a few years now. My son (6) can't help but laugh when he's there (the brush tickles his gums). My daughter (3) recently went for the first time and Dr. Edgerle had a great way to introduce her to what was going on. She was very cooperative thanks to how he made her feel comfortable and no surprises for what was coming next. Highly recommend.Ryan Flaherty

I’ve moved around a lot, and Dr. Edgerle is one of the best dentists I’ve ever had! He is always interested in and using the latest technology (3d printed my crown!) and is quite skilled in his profession. He even does great with my 5 year old! And today in particular he had all the jokes! 😂 Been visiting him since 2019, and we won’t be switching!Kay Blair

I have been a patient of this office since moving to Holland a decade ago. I have always been impressed, but my experience yesterday is what is causing me to finally write a review. My wife and I took our three year old son in for his first cleaning/exam and he saw Skyler, a dental hygienist. We were a bit nervous because it was his first time, but right from the beginning, she blew us away with how good she did with him. She explained everything to him before she did it, letting him feel the brush before using it on his teeth and such, and even had some cool Spider-Man sunglasses for him to wear before turning on the bright light for the exam. They talked about dinosaurs and he came out of his shell with her pretty quickly, which is rare! He was nervous before going back but did so good the whole time and I truly believe it was because Skyler is so good at what she does. I highly recommend going to Gordon and Prince Family Dentistry. The way they treat their patients, big and small, is top notch!Christopher MacDonald

We moved here over a year ago and I needed a good dentist because quite frankly they scare me a bit. After years of not going to one I was even more nervous. So let me tell you about my experience (s). I have gone here 3 times now and these folks are the nicest ever. Every time. From the Front desk, dental assistant, dentist, financial advisor lady, all of them were so kind. They probably realized how nervous I was but they took care of all my needs. So much so my husband switched over and is a 45 minute drive from our home. No kids in our home but I noticed there was a little play area in the waiting room and I imagine they'd be just sad amazing with kiddos. I think I have only waited 3 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. Oh and they have heated massage seats as well as headphones to watch movies. I'm grateful they exist. Keep being awesome 🖤Natasha Foust

Gordon and Prince Family Dentistry makes going to the Dentist an enjoyable event rather than a dreaded one. They seem to specialize in practising pain free dentistry because I have never felt any pain whether I was having my teeth cleaned or having dental work done. The offices are so refreshing to step into and the greeting is always upbeat and friendly. Just love this dental practice!Beth Germeraad

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I suffered from severe abuse as a child at my dentist so I have a fear and mistrust of them. I try to take care of my teeth enough I don’t have to go. Unfortunately I now have sjogrens disease. My rheumatologist didn’t tell me it affected my teeth and neglected to teach me how to care for them since I needed additional steps to keep them healthy. A few of my teeth were starting to fall apart and got bad enough it was difficult to eat or even brush my teeth because of the pain. After looking at many reviews I decided to try this office and I’m so glad I did. I was nervous about getting a lecture or being embarrassed about my teeth, but they explained that it wasn’t my fault my teeth were that way because I wasn’t aware I needed to do things differently because of my disease. I almost cried from relief after my consult/teeth cleaning because of how kind they were. I didn’t feel any pain at all during the work and I hardly even noticed the numbing needle which normally caused me a LOT of pain. Even though I had a lot of work done at this visit I’ve never been so relaxed at the dentist office in my entire life. It’s also the first place I’ve been to that getting my teeth cleaned didn’t cause any pain. I’ve never been to a dentist office where everyone was so kind, empathetic and patient. My teeth now look great and you can’t even tell where the work was done and I can eat without pain. I will from now on look forward to getting my teeth cleaned. Thank you so much for being so incredibly kind.Sabrina Breuker

Only reason I'm giving more than 1 star is because the dentists and Dr. Huisman himself here is great. Linda at the front desk however, is not. Between my first and second cleaning here I switched dental insurances from Delta to Guardian. After my second cleaning here, I updated my insurance and I was never informed that my new insurance was out of network here. Fast forward to today when I got a filling done, I had a 100$ bill for my cleaning (after they had already gotten 57$ for from Guardian!) that I had done a week ago due. I paid it and then came home and looked at my EOB and then realized that with my new insurance, Huisman was out of network. I called the office and explained that I didn't realize my new insurance was out of network and asked if they'd work with me on pricing, and was told that "pricing is pricing". I told them I would've appreciated being notified that they didn't work with my new insurance when I updated it and was told "well we can't keep up with 1600 patients and their insurance issues". The office should KNOW what insurance providers they work with. Needless to say, I'm switching to a different dentist and feel taken advantage of. God knows how much my filling that I just had done will be. Also learned the hard way to know which dentists are in-network anytime insurance is changed.Ashley Shea

This is the BEST place ever!!! I have never been at any dentist place in my life that I could say that I am super happy with ALL the staffs and the doctor himself! Very kind and polite and super professional people! All I can say is I am very happy that I found this place to come get my teeth cleaned and work on! I would definitely recommend everyone come here if you need anything done with your teeth and mouth!Vatsana Gavan

LOVE THIS OFFICE My son just turned one and we went to his first cleaning appointment. Logan was our hygienist and she came into the lobby with such a fun attitude. Not only did she make his experience fun but she was so sweet, patient and VERY gentle to his soft personality. Dr. Taryn was also very sweet! She answered all my “concerns” with such positivity. (When we walked out of the room the staff was super friendly by smiling and waving.) My son also had a couple of lip and tongue ties that Dr. Katie helped with when he was just a month old. As a new mom with a new born I was nervous to at all entertain the idea of them removing his ties. But as soon and I talked to the doctor and asked her about 50 questions she made me feel confident in this decision! My son was so calm after and they even had a room ready for me to feed him directly after they were done. This is such an incredible office.Katie Bowling

We love pediatric dental specialist of west Michigan, all of the dentists and hygienists are amazing. My son has seen hygienist Logan everytime he has been in for a cleaning. Logan has been so friendly, patient, caring, and made my son feel comfortable. My son had such a good time with Logan cleaning his teeth, and spending time with her, that he asked to go back! My youngest was treated for oral ties. Dr. Katie & Megan went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable about the procedure, and was thorough about explaining the procedure, and aftercare. After my sons procedure, breastfeeding was so much easier, and his smile was so much wider! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the office, with the doctors, hygienists, and all of the staff! If you are looking for a pediatric dentist, I would highly recommend the office!Taylor Tyndall

I brought my 2 month old son in to the office this morning for a consult on a lip tie and posterior tongue tie. The staff was so welcoming right from our first moments in the office – from a fun “1st visit” board to loving on my son through the whole process. Dr. Kate ended up also finding two tight cheek ties as well and we decided to have them revised. I was very pleased with the interaction with the Dr and that they were able to get all the ties revised right then and there. Everyone made the whole experience seamless and pleasant, especially for easing my mama heart as my baby was taken back to have the procedure. It was a simple gesture, but I was also very thankful that the ladies helped carry the infant car seat while I carried my son through the office. Overall it was such a great experience! Thank you!Sarah Wolters

To begin I want to say I have an extreme fear of going to the dentist and also that I can not recommend this place ENOUGH!!! the staff was beyond friendly, helpful, kind and patient with me, someone who has very high dentist anxiety. Beyond walking into an office where the women at the front desk were sooo nice and funny, my procedure was quick, practically painless and they made sure my comfort was number one through the entire thing. This office can do no wrong I swear. I can't thank the Dr. And the rest of the staff enough. My pain was so unbearable and they fixed it for me in a flash. I also want to note that i had my boyfriend bring me and we had to bring my 5 year old, they treated them both like family and made sure they were comfortable, informed and at ease with what was going on in the back. If you're scared of dentists, don't group this office with that fear. You can do it, I did, and I'm so happy I chose this office. Thank you so much, hopefully I won't have to be back for any major issues again… let's settle on a teeth cleaning 😉 ❤️alix bailey

The receptionist and front office set the tone of any medical experience for me, and My Community Dental on 3 mile in Walker, sets a high bar. You are greeted by friendly people who welcome you with a smile and are happy to assist. Onto the hygienist, Brea was ours. She again was friendly, helpful and careful keeping her tools and everything she touched clean with frequent hand washing and glove changes. She was very patient and did a thorough examination. Dr. Hylen took the time to explain and answer questions. All in all, 5 stars for friendliness, cleanliness, and feeling like you are not just a number.Michelle Ritz

We surely will recommend this Dentist Office to our Family and Friends. Thank You again for making ,not just me but my sister feel comfortable and Welcome..Thank You again.Susan Leedle

I went to tour the school for potential interest in enrollment and a security guard there was insanely invasive and rude and offputting as if I were walking around a restricted place that wasn't allowed to the public he asked a million questions and even made a demand of how long i needed to be finished before he would assert authority mind you I was only here five minutes and had walked straight to the ladies room hadn't even began to make my way to admissions or reception. However after that embarrassing and demeaning encounter I went to the office and spoke with the ladies there who were very helpful and friendly and apologetic for the rude security officers behavior. If it wasnt for the ladies I wouldn't even feel comfortable going back for a tour at all let alone considering enrollment here!!!Kara Tucker

Dental Clinic at South Bend Campus is a great place to have a thorough cleaning performed by students under strict supervision. This is a great program and the services provided are superior than any Dentist, I am confident of that statement. Never has my Dentist spent the time, diligence or explanations the hygienist spent on my visit. And her work was supervised every step of the way…..who's supervising your Dentist? They had a Dentist, Radiologist and Doctor at the clinic…bam, bam, danm I am a fan of this program and paying $20.00 is a bonus!!!da mdo

Very poor communication process. Almost impossible to speak to a real person. Once you find someone they tell you they cannot help and refer you back to the website which is not very user friendly. No wonder institutions are losing students. You have decided to embrace the electronic age when students and parents are making one of the most important decisions of their lives and they are relegated to countless numbers of electronic mail boxes. Poor, Poor, Poor customer service!!!Mario Rosa

I have always been incredibly impressed with Dr Desai and the entire staff at Alpine Ridge Dental, but now more than ever I feel that it is important to share my experience in this COVID environment. I recently visited his office for a chipped tooth and I could not have felt more safe and comfortable than I did! Dr Desai and his staff have taken EVERY PRECAUTION possible for the health and safety of their patients. Prior to arrival, the receptionist advised me of what to expect upon arrival. I was greeted at the door by a masked receptionist who immediately took my temperature and asked that I use the hand sanitizer that they provided. I was asked a series of COVID screening questions as well. The hygienists are spacing their appointments further than before to avoid patient crossover and to allow each room to be used less frequently. The Dr. and the Hygienists all wear additional masks and shields and the reception team now speaks to you from behind a glass partition. If you are at all hesitant to visit the dentist due to COVID, please don't be if you are a patient of Dr. Desai. This team was already exceptional but they are now extraordinary. 🙂Stephanie Acharya

I have been going here for almost 2 years now, and I've had teeth pulled, fillings, root canals, I'm even getting implants done in future. I would not want to go anywhere but here, I recently moved and now drive 30 minutes and it is worth it. The staff is so friendly and kind, Dr. Desai is one of the kindest people I've met and always takes his time to answer any questions you have and goes over everything with you that he plans. One thing I've loved is that no matter what work I've had done. He's always proud of his work, and he does amazing work every time. The hygienist are beyond great, their so kind and everyone makes you feel so welcome. The moment you walk in Tammy greets you by name and its such an amazing feeling because you feel not just like a patient but like a friend to everyone there. I look forward to all the work I have coming up. Because every experience so far has been phenomenal and I truly can't thank everyone here enough for making me feel so comfortable after not seeing a dentist in over 10 years. Everyone here is amazing and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to my next visit!Jarrett S

Dr. Desai and all of the staff at Alpine Ridge Dental are extremely well trained, highly competent, dedicated and, actually, fun to be around, even if you’re at the dentist’s office. Dr. Desai is possibly the best dentist I have had care for my teeth. Ever. I’m 68 years old and have had several dentists over the course of my life. Dr. Desai is streets beyond all of them. He takes great care to assure his patients understand what he’s doing. He’s careful to answer any question a patient might have, no matter how trivial. I cannot say enough about what a pleasure it is to have them care for my teeth.ScottD125

Dentist visits make me anxious, and this one especially because I'm new to the area and first time visiting this office. All the staff here helped relax me quickly, from the receptionist to the tech who did preliminary setup / x-rays to Dr. Meyer. I was an emergency visit but they didn't treat me as if I was inconveniencing their schedule. It wasn't rushed and they did their jobs well. I promptly made an appointment for my next cleaning! I'll be back.Darryl S

Very pleasant experience…. One tooth filled and one removed in a calming environment. Was very pleased with my dentist, she made me feel confident and relaxed in her abilities did both tasks with ease. So glad to have found her …. Would highly recommend Greenville family dentistry to anyone with dental anxiety… great experienceKen Clark

I was a patient at Greenville Family Dental since I was a kid, and they never failed to treat me with utmost care. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and, as the name suggests, they will treat you like family. They deserve 6/5 stars.Paige Tompsett

Best dental office & team I have ever encountered. Hygienists are well trained & experienced. Very helpful & always smiling. It is obvious that everyone who works here loves what they do & are very good at it. All my questions (always have so many) are always answered in great depth. The staff definitely takes care of you and greatly appreciates the time you spend with them even if that is for a half hour. The parking is simple & quick & validated when you come to Mid Towne. The visit to this dentistry is also simple & quick – I would recommend Dr. Burton & Team to anyone I know. Thank you for your endless TLC. I appreciate your business.SENA PRECIOUS

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Burton’s office, and Amy in particular. I had what I would consider some fairly uncomfortable dental work that needed to be done- Amy did her best to make me feel at ease and comfortable and pain free throughout the process. My teeth are healthier and I have overcome my fear of the dentist for sure! I will also add this office is extremely clean and professional. They are very up front about cost and billing! No surprise bills on the back end.Ashley Doyle

They gave me probably the most thorough and high tech cleaning I've ever had in my life. They take a ton of baselines for your chart, like x-rays, actual photos, cancer screening results, so that there's no guess work in "was my tooth always like this" or anything. Staff was also friendly and seemed to hit the right balance of curious small talk and silence. Would recommend to a frienddL
