Dr. Bruce F Filson I've been Dr. Filson's patient since around 1975. He takes the time to answer my questions, and his friendly and efficient staff make it worthwhile to drive the hour each way for regular visits. I have been a patient for nearly 40 years, seeing Dr. Filson for everything from routine exams through veneers. During all that time I have been thoroughly pleased with the care that Dr. Filson and his entire staff have given me.- Dr. Bruce Filson has been my dentist for the last thirty years, and my teeth are in great shape!

Nothing but positive energy at this establishment! They all seem to want the best for their patients and there isn't a problem getting your appointments in a timely manner (especially when you need help). I am thankful for this practice and feel safe going here for my care.

I don't usually take the time to give a review for dentists, restaurants or anything for that matter, but when the experience is exceptional it's the least I can do, which was the case here. Like so many people, going to have any dental work has always terrified me, literally, but I know it's something that must be done. This was hands down the most friendly and upbeat practice I've visited, from the front desk employees right down to the people who worked on my teeth.

They told me what should be done(not what I had to do) and made time to take care of it in the same visit in a painless manner. Thanks guys, it's great when professionalism and skill can be matched with personality and kindness. Won't wait do long for the next visit!

I very rarely write 1 star reviews. But this place deserves it after the way they treated my wife. My wife went in a couple weeks ago as she was having unbearable tooth pain. They took her in and took X-rays and said she needed 2 root canals and 2 caps. They started the root canals to try and relieve pain until they could get her back in to do the full root canals. Well, that made the pain even worse so she went in the following morning because she couldn't take the pain anymore.

The receptionist took her back to a room right away and the dentist came back and just started to try and do the work. My wife was in tears and crying and asked him to wait and explain what they were going to do (she has a huge phobia of dentists) and was scared and just wanted to know what they were going to do. He tried to proceed and said "you need to calm down and just get through this" and tried to continue.

My wife asked him to wait a minute and just talk to her about the process. He got super mad and annoyed and said "I can't do this" and stormed out of the office. My wife went to the front desk still in tears and asked what was going on and why the dentist stormed out and she said "well, if you're not going to let us help you. You'll just have to go somewhere else" and basically told her to leave. This is the most unprofessional dentistry place ever. Their staff and doctors are very rude and wouldn't recommend anyone to go here.

Everyone was friendly and very competent. They cleaned my teeth and used a very high tech machine to flush out bacteria etc plus a nice polishing. I wanted to get prepped for a crown I needed and they said sure, how about today? I agreed, received an estimate and in a short time I had a temp crown and an appointment for the new crown to be seated! What an efficient operation! Highly recommend!

This place rocks! Filson gentle density makes going to the density quick and painless. From checking in to taking pictures of your teeth and cleaning them I have never had a smoother experience getting work done on my mouth. All the staff from the front desk to hygienist and doctors are friendly and relatable, while still being super professional.

They give your prices estimates up front so you will not be shocked when checking out. I would easily recommend going here even if it is out of your way or haven't been to dentist in a while like myself they will quickly put you at ease. Also they are fully compliant and responsible about COVID-19 procedures

Hard to believe I am leaving a 5 star review for a Dentist! I got an appointment very soon after calling initially, even as a new patient. For someone with Dental anxiety, I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Even without Dental insurance, the work was very affordable. I was referred by a friend and visited them from St. Paul (where I had a much harder time finding availability without a long wait). They also respected my preferences for less toxic and invasive options, and offered various solutions. Highly recommend.

At 61 I have had the experience with so many dentists and while all have been well intended, none have come close to the caliber of the staff at Filson. As soon as you enter the lobby every person is focused on what they can do to help make you feel comfortable and to provide you with the best of dental care. Billing options are explained and no services are "pushed" but rather discussed allowing me to decide what is comfortable for me. 10 stars on a scale of 1-5!

I have a few issues with my teeth and yet every time I go see the amazing staff at Filson, I feel like I am so taken care of. They listen and make sure you are comfortable and well informed of all the work that is going to happen. Such a blessing to have this business in our Community. I have never been to a better Dental office ever! This is the spot, I highly recommend them to all family and friends.

Great experience! They were enthusiastic and welcoming, saw me on time for this first appointment, and gently cleaned my teeth and took images. The dentist showed me both x-ray and photographic images to explain his conservative recommendations for follow up care. I heartily recommend Filson Gentle Dentistry.

I love the staff and the service at Filson! They are gentle - and kind, and friendly, and really care about my teeth! Their "free cleaning" program has inspired me to take better care of my teeth than in my whole adulthood. My kids go here too, instead of to a pediatric dentist. We feel welcomed when we arrive, and they gently remind us when it's time for another cleaning!
