    I've been going to this dentist for a few years now and I'm always impressed with their quality of…read morepatient care, so I felt it was time to let the world know! My Hygenist is Chris and my Dentist is Dr. Brenny! Dr.Brenny is great and he is always in a good mood and excited about his job. Chris is the absolute best; I feel so comfortable catching up with her about life during my visits, and it's astounding to me that she can remember all the details of our convos 6 months later. That's how you know this business and the team really care about their patients and see them and respect them as real people. Chris also does an amazing job keeping my teeth healthy and clean, and I love my toothbrush pack freebie at the end of every visit. This is honestly the best dentist I've ever been to. I never had issues with billing, never any issues with insurance, appointments are alway on time, the office is very clean and oddly relaxing for a dental office, lol, and the staff is always helpful and great at their job! I definitely recommend.

    There's not enough stars to give Ivory and the entire staff…read more I started coming in 2020 after extensively researching other dental clinics in my network and took a chance based on the absolutely stellar reviews on Google and Yelp. Now, I can't imagine going anywhere else. The entire experience is a pleasure, something I imagine many don't say about the dentist. From check in and the friendly receptionist/admin team, to the hygienists and Dr. Brenney, I've never had a more painless experience at the dentist. The friendliness is a welcome respite from how loaded everything feels (literally) outside and the staff truly seems engaged and interested in your life. Cleanings are a breeze and Dr. Brenney is a true professional and extremely good at what he does. They explain things to me in simple terms and their pricing is very reasonable. Honestly, I can say without a drop of hesitation that they more than earn a 5 star review. I thought service this good was a thing of the distant past, and here it is in my backyard in downtown Minneapolis.

Made the mistake of thinking of her as a close acquaintance. My husband and I just transitioned to Medicare two months ago. When I called the office to verify coverage I was told both of our Medicare plans are out of network. That's because she does not accept Medicare. Payment up front is required and the patient has to bill Medicare themselves for whatever compensation is available for being out of network. I contacted Dr Melissa to remind her that she told me years ago if we ever were on an insurance she was not in network with, that she would become in network. No anymore. Her words "It's a business decision". Unbelievable. It also has impacted our adult daughter who we referred there and she now finds herself out of network through her new employer plan. I'm so glad we could help her business grow to the point she now owns the building she is in. Lesson learned. This dentist is truly about the money.

They no longer know who you are or have the same staff who care as much as the previous did. The drama between staff or unprofessionalism to clients is one of the many reasons I no longer come here. The dentists are always nice but often client education is lacking simply because they do not have the time. How unfortunate.

    5 yrs in as an out of pocket patient, Dr Jenna Swensen tossed me like trash from an appt booked 2…read moreweeks ago. tldr; don't go to Dr Swensen at Minnehaha Falls Family Dental for a prosthesis. I have a public speaking event in 2 days, as Swensen and her staff know. I'm already embarrassed. Context: 10/22, after 10 yrs of perfect fit & eating w it in, the 'flipper' my old dentist made broke. When it did, Minnehaha Falls Family Dental staff kindly booked me asap. A hygenist molded me for a new one. I bought 2, because unless you're 6, missing a front tooth ain't cute. Anyway, either the molds were off or the lab was off. None of them fit right. The initial attempt to fit 1 took around an hour. It was frustrating. I mentioned that my previous one hadn't needed adjustment, which might have started turning things sour, sorry to say. But it was an honest observation. Finally I said I'd wear it a while and see how it settled. It didn't. I had to go back for increasingly tense attempts to make it fit, which it was ultimately impossible to do, and then we started over, which meant another mold experience which, if you have a sensitive gag reflex, is an embarrassing, drooling, uncomfortable, messy experience. It also for me anyway leaves my jaws aching. The Dr did the 2nd mold herself, and it was a better fit, but still required extensive mods. These were done over 2 more office visits. This still puzzles me, as they all were cast directly from 3D molds of my mouth. How can they require actual hours of grinding down? It was a prolonged, unpleasant experience, and by the end I felt uncomfortable tension, as though I was being difficult on purpose. Due to that, and money issues, I didn't schedule to fit the 'backup' until the one I paid for shattered in my mouth 4/17. To make the appt I paid for the backup (they hadn't pursued me, perhaps to be kind after all the hassle) and thought I was also booking a cleaning. This time, no MN Nice for how it feels to have a gap in your smile. I was booked 2 weeks out. At the office, I learned there would be no cleaning. That was fine. The assistant offered me one later today, but I couldn't make it. I was polite. They were polite. Things seemed ok. It wasn't. I asked the Dr about fixing the old flippers, she said sure, depending how they broke. She asked how it had broken, I said while taking a bite. Her tone sounded a bit annoyed to me when she 'it's just for aesthetics', and I told her my previous one wasn't, and I couldn't get why this one wasn't built so a person can eat with friends. She began speaking softly in partial sentences w the assistant, in abbreviations. She put the new flipper in and it fit the same as the other: Ok on the sides. Too big on top and in front. She took a quick stab at grinding it, then suddenly left the room. All those hours in Dr Swensen's chair came to my mind. Hers too, I guess. She came back , and with a small laugh, told her assistant to get me a referral "only" (ie, she wasn't doing this) and a refund. The laugh really got me. I got up fast and asked about fixing any of the flippers for temporary use for my speaking event. She handed me the boxes of broken and ill fitting prosthetics, said "the referral would do..." and trailed off. It hit me she was refusing to even assist in a temporary fix, and that I would most likely be facing the room with my tooth still punched out. I saw to her, I was beneath her help. I tore off the bib and went right to the desk. There was a refund. There was no referral.
