  I saw Dr. Michael Oswald for over two decades and was always treated with friendliness, respect, professionalism, and consideration by him and his staff. When Dr. Vander Giessen replaced him after he retired, I assumed the practice would adhere to the same standards and values. That was not my experience. Dr. Vander Giessen insisted I spend $2000-3000 on periodontists A YEAR, on top of his fees, and refused to even consider or try cost-effective alternatives, such as PerioProtect. On my last visit, Erin, one of his hygienists, carved out -- literally -- a crater behind one tooth already experiencing root recession that took over six painful months to heal and still traps food and is ultra-sensitive. Also, despite telling them I'm autistic, he allowed his business manager, Shawna, to repeatedly and loudly chew food on phone calls with me. (Many autistics like me have "misophonia," which is an intense, involuntary, fight-or-flight emotional reaction [rage, anger, or disgust] to hearing people chewing or other unpleasant sounds.) Combined with her overall surliness and unfriendliness (and their refusal to stop making me deal with her), dealing with this office became extremely distressing and disappointing and not worth the time or emotional/ financial cost.

  from the minute, you walk in the door of Dr. Vander Geissen‘s office You are treated with warmth and kindness. I feel like I learned something new about my teeth every time I am there. They are so thoughtful about explaining things to you and showing pictures to clarify what they’re telling you highly recommend this office to anybody.

  Erin the hygienist and Dr. Vander Giessen are both incredibly kind, gentle and patient. I especially enjoyed listening to Dr. G talk to the kids in the space next to me about the importance of good nutrition as well as brushing and flossing. I highly recommend them both for others who need quality dental care. I am grateful for the extra time they take explaining options and not pressuring people as they make informed choices for themselves.
