Positive visit, everyone exceptional care. Love intense care from Jessica and Christina.

Dr. Fatah literally pulled my tooth in 45 seconds, where as a different location failed to do so after an hour. Can't recommend enough. Also the staff including dental assistant Jessica were very polite and got me in and out of there no problem. Thank you both very much, seriously.

My experience at Ankeny Aspen Dental has been amazing. Mindy and Ryan are a friendly, helpful front receptionists. Mindy was exceptionally helpful as I had accidentally forgotten appointment times so she was courteous enough to write them down for me. Because I was late they still allow me to come in. They didn't hold it against me either. They graciously accepted and got me right in. Christina remembered me from my last appointment and was concerned with how I was doing. My dental hygienist Dedeepya was patient, kind and genuinely concerned about my anxiety. She didn't leave my side the entire time while I was being numbed. She kept asking about my numbing and anxiety. She used strategies to help with pain during the injections. I had more than 5 but who was counting. I had to have impressions made, Mabel was professional, nice and gentle. For the first time in 30 years I feel I'm in good hands. I will be following all the instructions given to me and will be returning for further maintenance and upkeep. Thank you all for showing me you don't have to fear going to the dentist. This is truly life changing. 5 stars for all I mentioned.
