Dr Lash is a great dentist and his staff is always so friendly. Also, the front desk always greats you with a smile. Hygienists are so friendly and pain free!! I've had painless fillings completed here and would highly recommend this office for your dental needs! :-) He doesn't treatment plan a lot of unnecessary things or "push" people into having work done. He is actually concerned for peoples dental care and overall oral health.

Since the doctors changed, this place has taken a turn fore the worse. The Dr tried to yank out my husband's wisdom teeth with some tools! After of course failing and putting my husband in so much pain for a week, requested him to go to another doctor to get them surgically removed. Trying to pull out wisdom teeth from a 28 year old is the most stupid thing I've ever heard of! Then about 3 months after our last appointment we received a random bill for $200 with a date claiming we were there which we weren't. I called up asking for an explanation and they told me to throw it away, and they're confused why we received it. Another 4 months later another random $200 bill was mailed to us with a different date that again we weren't there for. I left a VM at the office and regarding them to explain the bill to me, and I was never called back, so I threw it out. We then went to our 6 month appointment yesterday and they told my husband he owed $200! I explained how we received these random bills twice over an 8 month span with both different random dates claiming we were here, and they looked at me like I had 2 heads. I also asked why we have been here since we received a bill and nothing was said until now about an owed balance. Asking them to explain the bill, they immediately claimed their "computer was down", and they would call me to let me know when it's back up. My husband and I like our hygienist, but how the doctor is trying to scam people by randomly billing them plus putting people through unnecessary pain is enough for us to go elsewhere. We never had any issues when Dr Jerggins was there. But this isn't a "Gentle Dentist" anymore. I do not recommend this dentist for anyone!

Dr. Jergins really is the Gentle Dentist. He is kind, caring and professional. He is an artist, and it shows in his work. Plus, his staff is also kind. The whole experience at his office was a positive one. I would highly recommend Dr. Jergins. And, he really is gentle! He takes his time and genuinely cares about each patient. Thanks, Dr. Jergins!
