“Astrid Sand - Exceptional Dentist Worth Traveling For”
I have had mercury amalgam fillings removed (with all of the EPA biohazard protections) and scheduled a series of other needed services. Dr. Sand and her staff have been exceptionally patient, instructive, caring, and demonstrated both advanced knowledge and an elevated skill level you seldom find. It's no wonder I met others in the waiting room who traveled many miles long distance, as did I, for Dr. Sand's exceptional services. She's painless, too :)

“Office Visit”
Dr. Sand is a very loving and compassionate dentist. I feel fortunate to have met her and her team. My experiences so far have been very positive as I have seen the degree of professionalism and constant high quality treatment I've received. I have had different things done: extraction, crown, and now I'm having an implant done in an affordable and comfortable manner.

“A wonderful dental experience”
Dr. Sand and her staff were so helpful in easing my dental fears. I couldn't have been treated any better. Dr. Sand was very patient with me, explained very well and made me feel very comfortable and safe.

“excellent patient care.”
I came here to get my amalgams removed by Dr. Sand. she is exceptional!! She is very knowledgeable and she takes pride of her work. they understand what I am going through. I have been sick because of my amalgams. I was taken care of like i have been one of their regular patients. she also takes her time to explain everything to you. you'll not feel ur being rushed .staff are very friendly. I highly recommend their clinic. Wish I am from this area that i can switch dentist in a heartbeat!
