Everyone is so warm and welcoming that it's truly a joy to arrive and see Nancy and Sina's smiling faces. My first procedure was a cleaning and I've been surprised by how much I enjoy talking with Hygienist Anne. My second appt. was clinically demanding and Dr. Oppenlander's skills and experience were evident from start to finish. He's very humble about compliments-sign of a true professional-and his shots are literally legend (see other reviews).
I love the office's use of digital tech. in place of paper and the fact that the office is all vegan in keeping with their commitment to environmental justice. I was very saddened when insurance necessitated leaving my former dentist yet couldn't be happier to be with Dr. Oppenlander.

Dr Oppenlander is the kindest, most gentle Dentist, and person, I have ever met! I'm always nervous going to the Dentist but as soon as he is present, I feel relaxed. His staff is very welcoming and they make me feel the same way! He has a wonderful office, and practice, and I would recommend everyone giving it a try!

This is the best dentistry practice I have ever been to-extremely proficient, kind, and caring at every level-they go way above and beyond anything you would expect. Dr. Oppenlander is one of a kind, and I am extremely grateful for everything that he does (as a dentist and a humanitarian).

Dr. Oppenlander and his staff are absolutely amazing! Dr. practices very gentle dentistry. I have never ever even felt him give me a shot (and he's given me a few). They are extremely knowledgeable and professional. My entire family of 5 has now used him for several years and we've all been very happy!
