Dentistry at Somerset was originally started in another location by Dr. Paul Readhead in the early 1970s. Paul moved his office to the current Somerset location in the late 1990s. Dr. Niegsch partnered with Dr. Readhead in 2002, became owner of the practice and has been practicing in Ames 19 years. Prior to Ames, Dr. Niegsch spent three years as a U.S. Navy dentist in Okinawa, Japan and in Chicago.
In 2018 Dr. Daniel Krook joined Dr. Niegsch. He enjoys treating patients of all ages and helping them feel comfortable no matter the procedure.
