Dr. Gorman did an excellent job of restoring my tooth due to external resorption In addition to doing a root canal. SLU is different then other dentist's office. You play by their rules and don't really have options as far as treatments. I had to come back Three times, once because when she did the consult she stated they couldn't do " surgery" on my chipped tooth because they only preform oral surgerys at 9:00. Second was the procedure and third time for a follow-up, I had to go for the followup because she was graduating and a new batch of students were coming in. Seeing as it was an hour drive I was disappointed that I couldn't get everything done all at once as well as major inconvenience. Still this was a much cheaper option than my dentist who quoted over $1,800. Overall I ended up

My tooth condition was really complicated and I felt very lost. Dr. Mikkalson was being very patient and he explained the pros and cons of all the options I had thoroughly. The clinic is very well equipped with all the technologies including CBCT. The dental students are very well trained and the quality of care is overall excellent!

I have a huge fear of the dentist, so bad that I’ll cry just sitting there with them looking at my teeth, but Dr. Mikkalson was the absolute best dentist I’ve ever had! From the minute he came and got me to go back for my root canal, he eased all my fears, had some neat little tricks to help with the shots. Made the whole experience super amazing, and made sure I didn’t feel anything. He is an amazing dentist!!!

After driving three hours in the wrong direction based on incorrect information, I was informed that a single arch treatment was available, which turned out to be false. The treatment offered no flexibility whatsoever, not even reasonably. Three separate appointments were required to begin the process: one for an X-ray, another for “records,” and a third for what appeared to be a third consultation. Not to mention the completely unacceptable treatment by the business (something or other) - PAM. I have never encountered such rudeness in my life. The staff member told me that I was “lucky (they) were even extending the offer to me” (I am lucky you would allow me to drive here and spend my own money? Wow, thanks!). She spoke horribly toward me, cut me off, and ignored the fact that I am physi

I asked for any type of price list for a few specific procedures I've been recommended, I need a lot, I have no insurance and have been told that school environments are great for poor people because they charge less. Imagine my surprise when the woman who returned my new patient call just sat there and argued with me about how she is unable to give me even vague estimates, she said "my job is not to discuss your treatment plan!" which I of course specified was not my intention, I was using my treatment plan invoice to provide codes to make it easier to look up costs and of course the procedures I'm unable to afford from one dentist, I need to know the cost of elsewhere. I understand the need to mitigate liability of a patient seeing an updated treatment plan/invoice and saying "well the g
