    Worst dentist I've ever had. When numbing me I felt like the needle was pushed further than needed…read more I've had braces and been numbed before with different doctors all over Sioux Falls & it NEVER felt like this before. It seemed like the doctors and assistants were more concerned with their conversations than being gentle. Offered the TV just to talk over it... Also, when I came in for a cleaning the assistant kept scraping my gums very hard...again I've never had that during past cleanings so it felt unnecessary and done on purpose to cause pain. I mistakenly referred my mom to come here and they missed a diagnosis of a gum disease she had which eventually lead to tooth loss. Overall very unprofessional and shouldn't be open at all in my opinion. I've since transferred to 10th street dental and they're amazing !! From the sweet assistants always asking if everything's going fine to the doctor being informative and giving great advice !

    I was uncomfortable all three times I had separate appointments. After the third visit, I knew I…read morewasn't going to return. My first issue was with the constant conversations the assistants and dentists were having while working on me. I understand some here and there but it was the entire experience. Nothing related to dentistry or my care. I needed fillings so had to be numbed. It was very quick and painful. I had never felt so much pain before like this previously with other doctors. It seemed very aggressive and little to no care about how I felt or made me more comfortable. During those times I was having my mouth rinsed and the assistant was almost drowning me. I choked a few times and they did pause to let me catch my breath but it didn't change. I even had some pieces left when it was over that I could feel from the fillings. It made me feel awful. I left with multiple cuts on the inside of my cheeks that lasted for days. I wanted to cry but I just wanted to get it over with so I just put up with it and tried my best not to choke before they were done. There was no full attention on me it seemed and when there was it wasn't caring. There were always women around hanging out and gossiping about their lives. I heard more about their lives than I did on the reality show on TV. I was scared already of dentists before and this made it even worse. I found a new dentist at a different location. The treatment is way kinder and empathetic to me. The numbing was even done slowly and carefully so as not to cause me any pain. It made a huge difference to me and, unfortunately, I didn't experience that with Dakota Dental.

    A Truly Pleasant Dental Experience…read more I recently visited this clinic for three appointments over the last two months (for a filling and a crown), and my experience was consistently excellent from start to finish. Front Desk Team: The reception area is run by a fantastic team. I had the pleasure of speaking with "Daniella, Vanesa, Christy, Morgan, and the angelic eyes" each one as kind and helpful as the last. They were all patient and thorough in helping me clarify my insurance coverage. What struck me most was their genuine warmth; talking to them felt so comfortable, as if I were catching up with old friends. They have a way of making you feel seen and welcomed from the moment you walk in. The Dentist: While I may not have seen much of Dr. Bradley Hruby's face behind the mask, his professionalism and skill were unmistakable. He was incredibly cordial and thorough, explaining each step with a friendly demeanor that put me at ease. Like the front desk staff, he made me feel like a known and valued patient, not just a number. The work he did was meticulous, and I am very pleased with the results. Overall Atmosphere: The clinic itself has a serene and calming spirit, which is quite an achievement for a space that isn't small. There's a genuine sense of care that permeates the entire practice. If I were staying in the region, this would undoubtedly be my permanent dental home. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, gentle, and exceptionally pleasant dental experience. Highly recommended

    Dr Rech and her hygienist Shayli were deplorable. I had questions and concerns, the attitude I…read morereceived from both of them was more like a high school bullying situation. When I explained calmly that I simply had questions and concerns, they were dismissive, and extremely rude. That had to be one of the most uncomfortable visits I've ever had.
