    Came in when shelter in place was lifted, and felt really safe the whole time. I felt really cared for -- Dr Styger started the checkup by looking at the sides of my tongue for cancer, which I really appreciated; it felt like a real holistic oral health check rather than just a cosmetic check.

    I have a ton of problems with my teeth. He was very thorough and understood that I am cost conscious and wrote up a plan to get me back to good dental health.

    Dr. Styger and his team is very friendly and super professional. He was able to provide sound advice regarding issues related to my gum/teeth. I would highly recommend Dr Styger to be your primary dental care doctor.

    The entire staff at Dr. Styger's office were so pleasant to work with. Even though I was running late, they were very welcoming—it was my first time here. I'm pretty sure I was their last appointment of the day, so I really appreciate the patience. As for the care, I left the office feeling great. About 50 minutes, including me fumbling around filling out all my forms in a flurry at the beginning. Too bad Opencare didn't prefill my forms for me. Biting down on the X-rays device hurt my gums a bit, but it's a small nuisance. The view out the window makes up for it. They noticed a few cosmetic suggestions to make about a tooth I hadn't realized I'd chipped, but they didn't push me hard on a fix for it. Great since I don't enjoy getting upsold. They're there to help if I want, but no pressure. I'd go back.

    I have some embarrassingly bad teeth. Dr. Styger was patient, helpe dme create a plan and very easy and comforting to talk to. I haven't been this comfortable and grateful to a dentist in a long time. I highly recommend him (and his office has quite the view!)
