She is professional, knowledgeable, has a great touch and is easy to talk to. I highly recommend her. Dr. Patrician's excellence is reflected in the rest of his staff.

Dr. Higgins was recommended to me by a friend with the lowest pain tolerance I know. The office for starters is beautiful. They have Planet Earth playing in the waiting room and more books than brochures trying to sell you procedures. The receptionist is always super, super nice. She is chatty if you want to chat or quiet if you want to wallow in self-pity about having your teeth done. Even when I call too early in the morning she is friendly and helpful. A+ The hygienists are great. Friendly and helpful and as pain-free as possible. I hate having cavities searched for by pick. Here they use micoscopes! No unnecessary poking or prodding. The best part is Dr. Higgins though. My first cavity I was a nervous wreck. I was expecting the whole shebang of painful scrapy metal thing, big rubber thing, other big rubber mouth rest, needles, drills, pain, misery. He gave me a demo of his laser tool on his finger. It's that gentle! Makes a loud noise, but otherwise just sprays warm water. It's so cool! He told me "open your mouth, try to hold still." Then zapped it a few times, filled it, and I was out the door in less than 20 minutes. Didn't hurt, no shots, and the worst "pain" I had was water hitting my mouth. You can really tell Dr. Higgins loves what he does. He is not like most dentists who push procedures on you, he has talked me out of procedures numerous times that he thinks are unnecessary. He is passionate about his art and constantly searching for the next cool gadget to make dentistry less uncomfortable and less invasive. If all dentists were like him, no one would be scared of it anymore.

I can understand that to an extent, but you what - life happens! I paid the fee for missing the appointment, and it's her responsibility to get over it and still provide excellent care. It felt so ackward! Then - at the end of the teeth cleaning, this was the only dentist appoitnment I have ever been to EVER where a dentist did not come in and talk to me about my teeth, if I had any cavities, any concerns I had etc. I actually had to ask the dental hygenist to confirm that I didn't have any cavities. Finally - at the end of the appoitnment the dental hygentist was so obviously judgmental towards me when talking with the front desk worker about how I had private insurance...there's no need for that and really - what's it to her?

I have written a few reviews for Standley Shores Dental group as I've been a patient since 2004…read morewhen they were in an old crowded building across the street. I felt an update was needed. So let me start with me: I have had a phobia of dentists and oral care since I was young. Growing up in the 80's (I'm aging myself here) my family could only afford discount dentist offices so what I knew of dental offices were not positive. I went over 3 years without seeing a dentist as a young adult (a decision I very much regret now) because of the debilitating fear. I just hated the appointments throughout my youth, teenage years and young adulthood and oftentimes had to take anti-anxiety medicine to simply walk into the office. I had to get braces in the early 2000s to resolve bite issues and headaches because my jawline was way off. My orthodontist recommended Dr. Stang and cautioned that I was investing too much in my jawline and teeth to not see a professional dentist. So I gave in reluctantly and I'm very happy that I did. I'm a demanding person and I rarely give out 5 stars. I'm also the crazy yelper who will change my review after every single appointment/visit so that it is continuously earned (I loathe complacency). This office and Dr. Stang deserve 5 stars. The office is big, new and offers a lot of amenities: coffee, water, etc. I think it's a nice perk but it's not why I work in Fort Collins and drive to this office 3 times a year for cleanings (and additional appointments when they arise). The staff is kind. The office staff including everyone from the person who you call for an appointment, the person who checks you in, schedules your next appointment and the who bills you are all on top of things. They over communicate (I LOVE that I am reminded of my appointments on 3 different technologies. How thorough. While comical, I NEVER miss an appointment. Clearly it's effective). Oh my goodness, they note everything. Do you have a favorite hygienist? You can see them for all of your needs (assuming they are still there). Have one you don't quite mesh with - they can note that too so that you don't see them again. Do you like one type of cleaning method over another? They note and act on that. Scared of dentists and need laughing gas? Yes, that's me. They note that too so it's ready when I walk in to treat a cavity. Do you need a distraction? They offer music and a tv for your viewing pleasure to help keep you calm. Building and office staff aside, I come for the great dental team. I see Dr. Stang and whomever he is working with. He is always so calm, patient and kind. He is a perfectionist and takes pride in my dental care. He has seen me multiple times to correct a crown and bite guard. While most people have 2 cleanings per year, I come in for 3. This staff really is incredible. Since 2004, I have changed jobs many times and they went from in/out of network as I did that. While my jobs changed, I never changed my dentist. I have moved to the DTC and Fort Collins and still commute to this office. Their prices are reasonable whether in or out of network (and when money was tight I did call around for pricing to many offices closer to home). Also, this is a dental office. Much like doctors appointments, there will occasionally be some delays because appointments can run unexpectedly long. I am not a patient person and I hate tardiness. So I've learned to take early appointments, book them months in advance and avoid the lunch hour rush. There are workarounds to known problems to limit the frustrations and maximize your experience. I wish I had someone like Dr. Stang when I younger. You don't get to play catch up with oral care folks and you can't pay your way out of years of neglect... so start off right with Dr. Stang and you'll be 20+ years ahead of me.

The first time I visited him a few years ago, despite my adamant objections, he relentlessly pursued a mold of my teeth. I was not remotely there to obtain a mold, of course the molding process removed my crown, necessitating a subsequent procedure. Additionally during the first visit I had to endure leaking hoses dripping water all over me as he worked on my teeth, gross and humiliating. I am confident the intent is to increase opportunities for additional procedures and charges. That was the last draw as far as visiting his office.
