Testimonials

"I fully endorse, Dr. Kurt M. Krause and his dedicated team.

I first went to Dr. Krause a few years ago to have one of my front top teeth repaired after I chipped it. This tooth and the one next to it had a few procedures done in the past by other dentists. While Dr. Krause examined my situation he noticed that I also needed work done on the tooth next to the chip. I knew he was correct and listened to all of the options he provided. Dr. Krause didn’t push me or force me to take any option which I appreciated. I am not comfortable with having to go through these types of procedures but Dr. Krause gained my confidence in the way he communicated with me so I moved forward with him. Well I have to say I am so glad I took his advice and I now feel and look better than I ever did before meeting Dr. Krause.

In the past I avoided the dentist unless I had major problem. My experience with other places is they are ruff and don’t take the time to build a relationship with you. When I go to Dr. Krause I genuinely feel he cares about me. I also feel he is a perfectionist and he cares more about my teeth then I do. When doing work on my teeth Dr. Krause does a great job and is gentle. Dr. Krause also takes the time to talk with me about my life and has even offered me his opinion on my allergy problems. His advice helped me greatly."

"I had a cap come loose. I called and got a nearly immediate call back, before office hours. Dr. Krause arranged to meet me with 90 minutes, made the repair and had me on my way. Frankly, amazing service in this day and age."
