The staff at Oelwein Dental Associates are absolutely amazing!!! I have had several invasive procedures done by Adam Kruger and every experience has been top notch. He followed up for several days after to check up on how I was doing. He is always kind, caring, professional and respectful. The ladies at the front desk are always there to answer a question and they greet you with a smile. The assistants are patient, kind, and compassionate. Especially to my three children. Going to the dentist is not a “scarey” thing anymore thanks to the staff at Oelwein Dental Associates. I would highly recommend their services for all your dental needs!!

My family loves Oelwein Family Dental associates. They have such friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere. I love all the little touches like massaging dental chairs, a fun room for kids, free water or Keurig coffee. Also, we never wait more than 5 minutes.

Does anyone ever want to go to the dentist? I do! I do! There are not enough words for me to express just how great Oelwein Dental Associates practice is. I have no fear or anxiety when I know it’s my appointment day. Massaging dental chairs had got to be one of the greatest. inventions. ever. Every person on the staff at Oelwein are awesome. I know if I have questions, they will be answered. A few days after I had a tooth removed and a bone graft done, Dr. Adam called to check up on me! Who does that anymore? Oelwein Dental Associates does! 🙂

From check in to check out, I feel like I’m family when I’m here. They’ve truly nailed the “every patient, very time” mentality. Even my 4 yr old enjoys going to the dentist thanks to these fine folks. Thanks for making my family feel like your family–we love West Union Dental Associates!
