Had the same hygienist today, and I felt she was thorough but gentle. I appreciated that she let me know what to expect and answered all my questions. Thank you! I’ve been going to this dentist, Dr. Thomas, for more than twenty years, since we moved to Eagan. That says a lot about the professionalism and consistent care I have received at Northwood Dental.

Dr. Thomas is wonderful! He explains everything that is going to happen and how you will be feeling during the process. Also this office is very timely! If you have a 2:00 appointment, you are in pretty close to 2:00 and if they say it take 1.5 hours, that is how long it takes. They have it down!

Northwood Dental has been fantastic! Kind staff, great doctor(s), and all very empathetic. I let the staff know I was hesitant about the dentist on my first visit and they calmed my nerves. I've had a few other visits since and I've been very pleased with their office. Highly recommend.

If anyone could possibly love going to the dentist… it would be because of Northwood Dental. I’ve been going here for years. The most recent cleaning was the most gentle cleaning I’ve ever had. All of the hygienists I’ve seen have been great and Dr Taple is an OG!

I went to Dr. Ed Rajek for a gum graft and had a truly excellent experience. He used a donated gum graft, which made the procedure much less invasive and helped me heal more quickly. Dr. Rajek was incredibly kind, thorough, and reassuring throughout the process, and he took the time to make sure I was comfortable and informed. At my follow-up appointment, he was just as attentive, and I am so pleased with the results so far. I would highly recommend Dr. Rajek to anyone needing periodontal care.

Today I was cared for by Stephanie my Hygenist. I have know her for last few years and I have a great appreciation for her terrific care. She is thoughtful, always concerned I’m ok, and is very thoughtful. I always get a great cleaning and a nice experience. She’s a keeper !!! I should also mention I am always nicely greeted at the front desk by a friendly and very competent staff person.
