I’m so happy that I took time to switch to a new Dentist! Aspen Dental was an amazing experience. Getting dental work done and appointments in general has always been daunting for me as a military Veteran struggling with depression and PTSD. Sometimes just making appointments and overcoming hurdles for personal care gets hard when I’m in a mental health funk. The Aspen Dental team did an amazing job with communication, holding space for me, listening to my concerns, and having actual down-to-earth employees who truly expressed genuine connectivity with me as a patient. Now, normally I’m super defensive and closed-off with nurses/doctors/students/interns/etc in any medical environment when they’re inexperienced/learning/or newly hired. I want to emphasize that I felt SO comfortable here at Aspen Dental, that I didn’t mind at all being patient and cared for by some of their new employees. For me that’s a huge deal. For those that have seniority at Aspen Dental, they were so kind to their newer colleagues and took time to show them how to do certain things the right way. I had to bite down on some plastic squares to get x-rays/pictures done. It was a little uncomfortable at first , but they were learning how to do it right, and I felt just fine under their care. They balanced acknowledging me AND their teammates, creating an overall climate that is inviting for anyone to feel at ease at the Aspen Dental home. I really admire it when I get service at a place where I can see that they treat their co-workers with respect and an eagerness to work as a team. Too many times I’ve seen behind-the-scenes issues that bleeds into how they care for their patients. Kindness truly was an overall theme at Aspen Dental. I loved how informed I was in different ways by everyone who interacted with me on how dental heath and goals would look and feel for me moving forward. Everyone had a different teaching style and was free to express that in their own way to me! Aspen Dental has a very positive personal touch in how they care for their patients and I would highly recommend going here. I never thought I’d be so articulate about getting a new dentist but I can’t just keep this gem to myself! I look forward to getting my retainers there soon and knowing that I can go to them for anything- from routine care to specialized visits geared to my needs . If I could give them all the stars in the sky, I would! Please, if you’re reading this and you’re searching for dental care: choose Aspen Dental! 💯✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨😄🪥🦷
