Beware! This dentist is inept. His receptionist is rude and inadequate. Went in for dental work and was later told they couldn't guarantee. Asked to speak with dentist (this was all done with busybody receptionist) and was told he was too busy and when pressed told, "he will never call you back." Moreover, the receptionist gives dental information, when not qualified to do so. Not only is it unethical, it is illegal! We feel that we dodged a bullet because word around MTU is that this dentist is the worst in town. read more

First things first: 1) I am a former employee, and was fired for nearly breaking an x-ray machine. 2) It's been a long time since I worked there (2006), so I've been removed enough to have perspective on it. I will say this now: I was extremely unqualified for the tasks I was given when I was hired. Unqualified in every sense of the word: no special training, no dental experience, nothing. And I was assisting with cleanings, extractions, root canals, you name it. Truth is, I should not have been anywhere near a dental office, yet there I was for a summer job. I thought I was going to be there just to file and do paper work. The dentist himself barely talked to me, and was much more concerned about supporting his hobby (airplanes) than really doing his job as a dentist. His work seemed shoddy and careless, although my eye is untrained so don't take my word for it (although the other reviewers seem to confirm this). So the main takeaways here: 1) staff may or may not be qualified to be doing the job they are doing. Be aware of that going in. 2) the dentist himself is not friendly. Any small talk he makes is a means to an end, not a sign of legitimate caring. 3) the work quality seems questionable at best, and probably a result of the dentist simply not caring as much about his work as much as he does about airplanes. There are several far superior options in the Houghton/Hancock area, I can assure you. If your insurance is accepted by those other options, I suggest you go there for caring and peace of mind. If you must come here, then be prepared for the points above. read more

I didn't get the proper preventative care as a child and in addition I was a hockey player in my teens and broke more than a few teeth. I am in my fifties and in the recent past I fell ill to Leukemia (a cancer of the blood) the 3 years of chemo therapy sessions completely ruined what was left of my teeth leaving me with serious embarrassing dental problems. In my case I did not experience any of the issues the other reviewers have mentioned. I have always received excellent care and work from Doctor Anderson. When I was in pain I was given an appointment asap, often on the same day. I certainly like that this dentist goes right to work on my issues. He may lacks on small talk, but I don't go to a dentist to be entertained, there are other places specially designed for that. His professional work feels patient to me. Doctor Anderson has been kind, caring, and encouraging without giving me a long speech about dental care or make me feel second grade as other dentist have done. I find his staff courteous and friendly and that's all I am asking for. But then, I am not a whiner as I have a lot of experience with dentists. I am not scared or conflicted about dentists. I am not a obviously disgruntled employee. Dentists earn their money by making peoples teeth better or keeping them healthy. That's their job and Doctor Anderson does that perfectly and I recommend him to my friends which can state the same. read more

Place looks great, lots of pictures of where hes been with your money, but thats where it stops. I went in for a simple filling and when i was done i had two absessed tooths right next to each other, it was a bad cavity at all. possibly using UNSTERIL equipment. and he is pretty rude, so is the receptionist (his wife). both my fillings fell out in a year, got new fillings from dr carlton in laurium... been three years and still there! anderson is horrible!! read more

Dentist had no patience with my child. Refused to work on my child bc my child was worried and sent us on our way yet billed for services anyway. They also had a fish tank in office but would be upset if any child wanted to look. I will never go back. read more
