The first time I visited there was a scheduling mishap on my part, and Dr. Claassen was gracious enough to stay late to see me. Dr. Claassen is genuine, kind and honest with all his work. He made sure I was learning during a simple check up, not just about brushing my teeth but overall oral hygiene. I also learned recently he's active in the community, volunteering his time in free clinics. I know enough about him to know Kansas City is lucky to have him. read more

Every review on here about Dr. Claassen is correct. I called to make an appointment and was able to get in the same day. Once I got there, I had to wait maybe 5 minutes between filling out my paperwork and my appointment. Everyone in the office is friendly, including the secretary! Dr. Claasseen was very thorough with his exam, even taking time to touch up one of my bonds (which looks great now!). He spent quite a bit of time with me. Cliff is also awesome and did a great job cleaning my teeth and taking my x-rays. I'd definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

Wow! Dr. Claassen is amazing! I went to a different dentist last year and had a terrible experience. I've always had great oral health and suddenly, this dentist wanted me to do thousands of dollars worth of dental work. I somehow gained many cavities overnight and my teeth were "ugly" according to him. He wanted to focus on cosmetic work. I felt so uncomfortable and never returned. I was hesitant to visit a dentist, again. Fast forward to this year. My friends have been seeing Dr. Claassen for years and they highly recommended him. I went to my first appointment. The receptionist called me prior to the meeting and gave me clear directions on how to get to their office. I was glad because I'm notorious for getting lost in buildings. I was seen within 15 minutes of my appointment time. Dr. Claassen was very down-to-earth and casual and chill but professional. I don't like how it feels to get my teeth cleaned but he put me at ease. Claassen was very hands on and did all of the work on his own! He walked me through my x-rays and gave me the most through oral exam of my life! He took the time to do a full examination without cutting corners and explained what he was doing and looking for. I'm sold. No matter where I live in the KC metro area, I'll always go to Dr. Claassen. read more

Dr. Claassen does GREAT work. An oral surgeon's office confirmed that he does "great work," quite a few of my neighbors rave about him, and I've had nothing but positive experiences. I have fairly extreme dental anxiety, and I can honestly say all of my visits have been pleasant and relatively pain free. If you're looking for a new dentist, he's your guy. You won't be disappointed. read more

Q: Why did I choose Dr. Claassen as my dentist? A: Because his office was close to my home & work. Q: Why am I so happy that I chose him? A: Because he's awesome! Professional, capable, swift, friendly, very funny at times - the whole shebang. Makes the routine appointments feel enjoyable & not like a nuisance at all. He is fabulous in every sense of the word. Also a longtime volunteer dentist of the free clinic. I am very pleased he's my dentist & would recommend him highly to be yours. read more

Can I give 6 stars??? This is NOT your normal, formal, glass window partition doctor's office. Everyone here: Bob, Cliff and Allie are so nice, warm, fun and great at what they do. Latest in technology, adept with dental procedures, gentle and great music. I have had an emergency and they saw me right away. I LOVE going to the dentist! read more

Oh man, being scared of dentists AND writing a review on one that is a 5-star? Who woulda thought. I went to Dr.Claassen on the recommendation of a friend when I woke up one day and couldn't open my mouth all the way. Claassen got me in next day and found out it was what I thought- my wisdom teeth were totally f'ing with my face. He gave me a recommendation to an oral surgeon and some pain killers. Everything worked out well and I have sent many a person his way because of how pleased I was with my experience with him. If you need a down-to-Earth dentist who really is there to help you, give Dr. Claassen a try! read more

I had the best dentist experience that I've ever had today!!! My appointment was perfect!!! Two fillings and a chipped tooth. No pain, quick fix and excellent service!!! read more

Best most caring dentist I've encountered. Great dental care. He and Clif do a GREAT job and take great care of patients. Love their new office in the Penn Tower Broadway at 31st ST. Easy parking! read more

I love going to the dentist now! Dr. Claassen and Cliff are the best. They are so caring and gentle. By the way... whoever posted that pic is an idiot. That is not Dr. Claassen. That pic needs to be updated. read more

Dr. Clausen is excellent I've been going to him for years. Always friendly polite prompt and he does an excellent job with my dental work

I have been going to him for 20 years! I do not trust anyone else with my teeth! He is funny and very straightforward!

This is my all-time favorite dentist I've been to! Bob is so engaging and fun to talk with. He has a great office and great staff working with him. Just a heads up... the pic on this page isn't him! lol I don't know who added that pic, but that is not the guy you will see cleaning your teeth. read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed Dr. Claassen yet...but here goes. Yes, all the other reviews are true. Just come to this man for your dental needs. Here's why... We started coming because he seemed to be cleaning all the teeth of my husband's coworkers. The location then was a bit odd, Armour Blvd---before the gentrification. His office was simple. No flashy tvs advertising piano key smiles, no fancy shmanzy free cookies or coffee or other stuff you know you're paying for in your dental bill. His new office is on Broadway, and again, they keep it simple. I no longer live nearby, and I plan to eternally drive 30+ minutes to see this guy. Everything about Claassen's practice is straightforward. He has one dental tech (Cliff), one secretary, and one DDS. Cliff is sweet and very gentle with all the uncomfortable stuff (I mean whose mouths are those x-rays sized for anyways...Mr. T-rex???). Compared to other dentists, Dr. Claassen does a lot more of the work than others. He likes to be hands on with patients. He is efficient and usually has 1 patient back at a time. The wait is always minimal. He is kind, honest, and straightforward about what's going on in your chompers. I've always liked him and referred others to him, but when I had a dental emergency he catapulted to star status. Backstory--I've had a dental trauma in my past which has resulted in the loss of 3 teeth, and I was told that more may go. A few days before my first vacation with the hubs in over a year I noticed that one of the traumatized teeth was wiggling and hurting. I panicked. How will I enjoy all the vacation restaurants if I can't eat? How will I enjoy my vacation while trying to ignore the worry of another $5K dental procedure? Shit. I called Dr. C one morning and left a message requesting a call back. By 5PM, I did not have a call back, so I impatiently called again. Guess who answered the phone...Dr. Down to earth Claassen of course. I explained my predicament. He told me to come in the next day before office hours (7AM) to get checked out. Perfection for my panic, my work schedule, and my vacation time. He assessed me, gave me a root canal referral, told me to call them asap and do a Dr. C namedrop. By 8:30 I was finished with both Dr. Claassen and with the best root canal I've ever had. It was amazing service and I didn't think of that tooth once while enjoying my vacation. Great doc, great guy, great practice. read more

I drive down from minneapolis mn just to have dr. c work on my fangs. Hes amazing, caring and gentle with a needle. Ive referred everyone I know to him. Check it out your mouth will thank you. read more

Everyone is correct. I work 45 minutes away, live 30 minutes away in Overland Park with a million dentists down the street, and I fight my way through traffic to see this man! I have been going to him for 12 years, and he is just truly amazing. Gentle, funny, and so personable. Cliff and Allie are so great as well. GO SEE HIM! read more

We have new insurance but haven't yet received our insurance cards. I called to try to make an appointment because I have a chipped molar, and wasn't even able to make an appointment until we get our insurance card numbers! The receptionist said when I call back with the rest of our insurance information THEN she can schedule me. Seriously?! read more

This guy should be your dentist. Period. My appointment was a breeze, the staff were all great. After my last dentist (ahem* paraffin hand dip* ahem) I was really hoping to find someone competent, kind, and without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. This is it. My teeth are clean and healthy, and I'm looking forward to my next check up! read more

Dr. Claassen should be your dentist. Full stop. He's engaging and funny, and his staff is helpful and professional. It's a small practice, so you definitely get the type of personal attention you wouldn't get in a bigger office. In fact, if you're just in for a cleaning, there's a good chance Dr. C will do the full cleaning himself. Fortunately, I have strong teeth and am still cavity-free, so I don't have first-hand knowledge regarding his skill with more complicated procedures. But if a bigger problem ever arises, he'll be the first person I call. read more

The best Dental practice you can go and experience,always attentive and cordial,I have to admit that after taking care of my teeth for many years with different people they are by far the best!!! read more

Dr. Claassen is great. He was referred to me by a friend and I'm very thankful to have him. I chipped a tooth recently and he was great to work with my schedule to get me in as soon as he could, even giving me a later appointment than he normally would. Nice guy, great staff. I'd definitely recommend him. read more

My first few experiences didn't go very well with the office staff but things have improved dramatically. Everyone there is absolutely amazing and I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

The second time going to him and feel comfortable because he seems to know what he is doing and has convenient appointments.

Best dental practice in Midtown for sure. Friendly staff and Competent Dr. They don't try and up sell because they would rather have your repeat business. I like it! read more

Best dentist I have ever been to. I won't go to anyone else. His staff is professional and friendly as well.

Oh so pleased with the first visit. Basic dentist office without the entertainment. The dentist is entertainment enough for me. The staff were very good with the paperwork and with the scheduling. The location is in a good central location with parking. The picture on Yelp is not the dentist, for reference. read more

Both Cliff and Dr. Claassen are outstanding. I have some dental anxiety but they make me feel as comfortable as possible. I don't know if it matters, but as a physician, I really appreciate that he is a great dentist. I drive from the other side of town to see him! read more

Best dentist ever, and I'm not a fan of dentistry in general. He's not just your dentist, he's your friend. He's friendly and funny. yet professional. I've been going to him for over 10 yrs. and still satisfied. He's the best dentist in mid-town. read more

Dr. Claassen, is an excellant Dentist. I would highly recommend him. He is very caring and does a great job. Unlike many Dentists today he does not try to pressure you into treatments that you not need. He will give you great treatment and does a really good. My only complaint is that he no longer takes my insurance so I am not able avail myself of his services. read more
