Been going here for a year now and I haven't 1 good experience. Dentist is always late and…read moreinconsiderate and not helpful at all so my wife and I started looking at finding another family dentist so we found one and they requested dental records so we requested our dental records from St Joseph Dentistry and not only did they send them over the records but they canceled my whole families cleaning appointments without letting us know. I called and receptionist and she was very rude and said she was contacted awhile back and was told to cancel the appointments which did not happen. Not surprised tho. The business is a money maker with little to no customer appreciation and as the customer I've always felt like an inconvenience. 0 stars. By the looks of the reviews I'm not the only one that has had issues here. Charles thank you for the quick response but that is just a professional way of telling me to pound salt the same way your receptionist did when I called your office with concerns and to try and resolve the issue. Thanks for the abandonment of care for me and my family. Thank you, Come to find out this is just an automated response. Thanks for the sincerity Charles.

Dr. Andrew Bargren and his wife Dr. Luz Bargren are the dentists at the Lakeshore Family Dental…read morepractice. To distinguish between the two, they refer to themselves as "Dr. Bargren" (the husband); and "Dr. Luz" (the wife). Our children have been seen by both of them. We left our prior (local) dental practice due to it not being very kid-friendly, and they would not allow parents to go into the back room with our children during procedures. We had to wait in the front waiting area. I was not comfortable with that arrangement. So I was relieved and pleased to find a practice that encourages (even requires) parental presence during our kids' visits. Dr. Bargren has a kind, calm demeanor and a soothing voice. He is really great with our kids (ages 5-11). He explains clearly but succinctly - to us (the parents) AND to the children - what he is going to do, and asks if the kids have any questions. He explains things like a patient teacher. During the procedure, he is super attentive to their comfort and is quickly responsive to subtle cues that convey discomfort or pain, like the slightest wince. I've been particularly impressed with how he looks our children in the eye and removes his mouth covering (surgical mask) when explaining things so that they can see his mouth, and he looks more 'human' (maybe less scary) to the kids. : ) My own experience has led me to see dentistry as an art. There is a lot of detail, intricacy and skill that goes into, for example, the forming of a filling to maintain the shape and appearance of a healthy, perfect tooth - and the original tooth - as closely as possible. Dr. Luz is extremely attentive to such detail. She seems to be a bit of a perfectionist in her craft, which impresses me. I've seen her ask the assistant (on several occasions) to redo the plaster mold of our kids' teeth due to a tiny bubble. She wants the work done to the highest standard. She makes the dentist office a good experience for our kids with her positive feedback to them, frequently commending them for being great patients. While these two dentists are individuals with unique strengths, both are top-notch professionals who maintain a great work ethic and high standards of quality in their craft. And from a parents' perspective, it's important to us that they are kind, patient-focused, ethical, and emanate a positive energy that helps our kids actually enjoy going to the dentist. The Bargrens possess all of these qualities. The office staff is also wonderful. The receptionists are all super helpful, accommodating, and friendly. They took time to explain some details about our insurance (and print some paperwork) that was above and beyond our expectation of their duties. They also try hard to accommodate us for emergency procedures. Once when our son had a toothache they were able to schedule him to come in within just a few hours! (I don't know if that's standard practice, but we were pretty amazed.) The office itself is clean, with a nice "homey" waiting area with plenty of comfy seating and good reading material. They have a couple of fun spaces for kids with puzzles, toys, and a train table. They have free toothbrushes and toothpaste out for patients to choose from. And we are almost always greeted as we enter.

With six kids, our old method was to take 2 kids to the dentist at a time…read more 2 hours later, we'd be home, and have to do this again 3 more times. Then repeat every 6 months. Then we had the issue of not knowing how to contain our costs on routine care, which was running north of $200/person! Now our family is part of the RAD plan at Red Arrow. We pay a reasonable amount for the year--flat--with a discount on additional items. All 8 of us were seen in a little over the time that 2 of us were seen at our former dentist. And best of all, we feel valued and cared for both as patients with teeth to steward and as people. I'm glad we've found our model moving forward, and I think anyone else dissatisfied with how they are doing dental should consider the Red Arrow team.

We had to visit another orthodontist after receiving a faulty retainer from Patrick Hellner that costed over $500. This retainer costed us an extra $500 dollars to remove because of the over applied glue that could've caused serious damage. The new orthodontist informed us that we should've been provided rubber bands during the process of the braces in order to fix the overbite in the teeth. Patrick Hellner had previously told us that in order to fix the overbite we would've needed to participate in a surgery that would've cost thousands; this obviously was not true.
