Horribly incompetent office staff! Just thieves! Can't make an appointment early than a month out, took 110$ copay before work even done, now refuses to return it or give me the x-rays that are already paid in full!

I was in need of emergency dental work and they got me in same day as a new patient. The doctor and hygienists have all been very kind and did their very best to make the experience comfortable. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone.

Moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota a year ago and found Black Hills Area Dental and never in my life have I been so happy about the work the entire office provides. The attention to details is amazing along with the special care they give you to make sure you know you are in good hands. Everything is done with quality and focus. I lived all across our great country and this is by far the very best dental office. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!

I tried a few dentists in Rapid City before giving up and not seeing a dentist for I'm ashamed to say how many years. When it was time to see someone co-workers encouraged me to see the team at Black Hills Area Dental and I'm so glad I did. For years I have been unhappy with my smile, needing some cosmetic work done I was afraid I would be told I needed so much more than I wanted like I had in the past, but the whole team made me feel comfortable.

I was never pushed to do more work than I wanted or made to feel uncomfortable in anyway. Being a patient at Black Hills Area Dental you know they truly have your best interest at heart. From a simple cleaning to some of the more major work I have had done I was have always felt comfortable with ever step of the process. In the last year I have gone from being afraid to smile in picture's to showing off my smile every chance I get. I cannot express how happy I am with my new smile and all the work Dr. Samuelson and his team did to make it happen. I look forward to me and my family to being patients for years to come.

Our family has been patients at Black Hills Area Dental for twenty years because of the exceptional dental care we have always received. At one time a sign in the office alerted patients to the focus of this dental practice: "We treat your family as we would treat our family." Specifically, we appreciate the dental team--Dr. Bart Samuelson and Sandy--as well as the administrative team--Tara and Jodi.

Full disclosure. I work for an seo company which has no relationship or is doing business for Black Hills Area Dental. I've been a patient of Dr. Samuelson for several years. I can't tell you how caring this office is.from routine cleanings to emergency care they always make me feel like my comfort is they're top priority. I also believe I'm a challenging patient for them at times too, from not taking good care of my teeth all these years to waiting until last minute for emergency visits to fix a painful tooth, they always make me feel welcome and treat me with respect. Dr. Samuelson's the best.

Thank you for making me feel important and have answers to my concerns before any procedure. Bad news. I've got a few crowns and a bridge coming this summer.good news is I'm going back to BHAD where I know I'll get good care. Patient for life. Robert Sharp
