Both my husband and I had our first appointments with this dentist recently. We both agree that we've never been to a better Dentist or facility. By far the best out of 9 offices we've visited in recent decades. We are staying! Each of our hygienists was thorough and helpful. Not a single brief sharp pain when cleaning along the gum line or flossing, as has been the occasional case with a few places. The doctor spoke of dental details I've never even heard about before. Very thorough. And they have a digital camera to take close-up images of all your teeth, for future comparison. You can see problem areas blown up on a large screen in front of you. Never seen anything like it! I was able to see in fine detail what he was referring to when pointing out an issue. And this issue has apparently been there a long time, yet no other dentist has ever pointed it out. And they use both digital xrays for immediate viewing and as well as full chest guards plus a thyroid guard if requested. Many places do not even have a thyroid guard or digital xrays. It;s in a quaint downtown location of White Bear Lake, MN. A far drive for us, but it was highly recommended by a friend. Well worth any drive. There was no wait time what-so-ever before or during the appointment. Both my husband and I were in individual rooms for our cleaning and exams at the same time, and Dr. Anderson moved between the rooms as needed when the hygienists were ready, to most efficiently use our time. I could not believe how efficient the whole process was. Not even a wait in the waiting room. Everything went smoothly and better than ever expected. I would not hesitate to refer anyone. I saw a stuffed purple dinosaur in the corner, so they are ready to take care of kid's dental needs as well. i wish I knew about Dr. Paul Anderson 2 decades ago! I plan to permanently return for my exams and cleaning. Also, the desk staff introduced themselves as we entered, and they shook my hand. I've never had that happen at a dentist's office. That was a good sign that it might be a pleasant experience and a good choice of dentists. It was!! read more
