I could not be happier with a dentist. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. Dr. Christensen is so awesome with kids, AND I never feel like he's trying to sell me on dental work they don't need. We stumbled upon this office when my 2 year old fell into a bookshelf and hurt his mouth pretty bad.we were new to the area and had an emergency pediatric dental visit here. I am SO GLAD this is the office we picked. We've since had some regular cleaning visits for both our kids. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

I was shocked and delighted that they got my 5 y/o to cooperate through an entire exam/cleaning. This was light years better than past dental experiences! We're so happy to have found Foothills!

Always do a great job and my youngest is always excited to go to the dentist here. Doctors and assistants listen to concerns. Recommend especially if Medicaid is your insurance. Best in longmont even without Medicaid.

We originally ended up here as the result of an emergency, but the staff has been so nice and helpful, and my son has liked the dentists so much that we've happily stayed.
