I go to Walden Dental every 6 months for a cleaning / checkup and always appreciate the efficiency and friendliness of the staff and clinicians. I never have to wait long. The hygienists are always lovely and Dr Carr always has a fun temperament. Everyone is great at what they do!
After many, many years of experience (both good, horrible and everywhere in between) with various dentists of various levels of skill and with different 'chair side' manners I am relieved to find a practice as professional, welcoming, clean and well equipped as Walden. The staff is professional, kind and genuine. Dr. Frank is straightforward, knowledgable and genuinely invested in both the quality of your care and including you in the decision process regarding your procedures. His 'can do' approach saved a molar that another practice deemed to problematic and recommended be extracted. He is 'mechanically' skilled and efficient and the office can often complete complex procedures in a single visit that might require multiple visits elsewhere. I really can't say enough good things about my experiences with Walden so far. Well worth the long drive (for me at least). adding this after my most recent visit; I only add this under the 'edit my review' button as for some reason I couldn't create a new review. I really have to emphasize to anyone who takes the time to read this, that Dr. Frank's practice is head and shoulders above the rest of the dentists who's care I've ever experienced in my 69 years. They are modern, clean, supported by the most modern equipment and staffed by the friendliest and most professional people. Dr. Frank himself is uniquely skilled and approaches his work with a seriousness and a 'can do' attitude that is truly amazing. He takes difficult dental problems and figures out solutions. I guess my overall reason for continuing to drive over an hour each way to their practice lies in what I've described. Simply the highest quality dental care available.
Always a fantastic experience with Walden Dental! Dr. Frank, the Treatment Coordinator, Benefits Coordinator, Dental Assistants, Dental Hygienists, and the rest of the office team collaborate well and provide exceptional service every time. They are fast but very efficient and the work they do is great! Thank you Walden Dental so much for the good work and expert advice over the years. 😁 I highly recommend the services Walden Dental offers to others who may be on the hunt for a phenomenal dental experience!
A+ team- professional, kind and efficient. Would recommend for anyone looking for high-quality dental care with practitioners who make you feel taken care of. Thank you again, Dr. Frank and Sabrina!
Dr Frank is wonderful and so are his staff. Everyone is friendly, informative and show you they care. I had to have an overlay done on a tooth and it turned out amazing. Never had any issues with my bite and it looks beautiful! 10/10 would recommend him if you are looking for someone that knows what they are doing and want the extra care that only a private office like this can give you, unlike those doc in a box places. So glad I ended up going here!
I have been coming to Walden Dental for six years, since my family moved to Austin. I have always been impressed by the state of the art care and professionalism. What makes Walden exceptional is that everyone in the office makes me feel like family, even the puppies! I enjoy catching up with everyone when I come in and they are sincere about catching up with me and my family. I feel like we struck gold when we found Walden. ❤️
I had a negative experience with this dental clinic. About a year and a half ago, (July 2024) they placed two crowns for me, and now for several weeks I have been experiencing strong tooth sensitivity when eating on that tooth, It feels like the work was not done properly, and the problem was never fully resolved. In addition, during one of the appointments, the dentist scratched my chin. They were very rough and applied too much pressure, and because of this I had a visible scratch that took several weeks to heal. This should never happen during a dental visit. Overall, I was left with a very unpleasant impression. I am still dealing with tooth discomfort, and the lack of care and attention during the appointment was disappointing. I would not recommend this clinic based on my experience.
As someone who has always been genuinely anxious/borderline terrified about going to the dentist, I cannot say enough good things about this office. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff went out of their way to make me feel calm, heard, and respected. No rushing, no judgment—just patience and reassurance at every step. The team took the time to explain everything clearly before doing any work, which made a huge difference for my anxiety. They constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and never made me feel silly for being nervous. That level of empathy is rare and incredibly appreciated. The dentist was gentle, thorough, and professional, and somehow managed to turn what I usually consider a stressful experience into one that was actually manageable—and dare I say, positive. The office itself is clean, welcoming, and well-organized, which also helped put my mind at ease. If you’re someone who dreads dental visits or has had bad experiences in the past, this is absolutely the place to go. They truly understand dental anxiety and know how to work with it. I’m beyond grateful to have found an office that I can trust, and I’ll be coming back without fear for the first time in my life. Thank you Walden Dental!
I’ve dealt with much trauma related to my teeth. This dental office made me feel safe from the moment I arrived. The entire staff were warm and welcoming and professional. My dental issues were clearly analyzed and I was given a thorough assessment and a treatment plan that was reasonable and that made sense for me. In other offices where I’ve been abused, here I was shown care. The entire staff were top notch. I cannot recommend this office and practice enough. Dr Frank’s staff took photographs, X-rays, and helped give me a thoughtful care plan and most of all gave me confidence in my smile again. Thank you.
