I had a great experience getting a cavity filled and my teeth cleaned here. Everyone was professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. What really stood out to me was that Dr. Paulson actually called me the next day to check on how I was doing. I’ve never had a dentist do that before, and it really showed me that they genuinely care about their patients. I highly recommend them!

I came in a little early, but the staff still got to me swiftly and professionally, the lady i spoke to at the front desk was really nice and got me signed in in no time. as for my hygienist she took quick easy X-rays, let me know that there was nothing concerning and then got my teeth cleaned up quickly. the doctor was nice as well and helped give me the full run down. All in all the staff was super quick, helpful, professional, and i will definitely be back!
I had a great first time visit and was able to make an on-going treatment plan within my budget with Dr. Bauer to address a long-term dental issue I have. I appreciate the cost transparency and being one of the only dentists outside of OSU that accepts the Delta Student Plan. And if you can book with Faith, you should! She's a great dental hygienist and made for great conversation as well!
Dr Bauer and his staff are amazing. I highly recommend his services. You will not be disappointed! Shout out to Faith for taking care of my dental work!
I had a broken tooth and needed a crown. I was able to be seen quickly. The staff is so friendly and helpful. A great experience!
