Great, clean and friendly environment filled with professionals. They are well organized and communicate clearly everything ahead of time (no surprises with bills). I trust my whole family’s dental care to Dr Pries and I strongly recommend that anyone would do the same.

I have been going to Pries Dental for the past thirteen years, and absolutely love the whole staff and their kindness and professionalism. I've always hated going to the Dentist in the past, but my experience here has been nothing but pleasant.

Very professional with a great staff. I used to hate going to the dentist, but ever since I started coming here I honestly enjoy it. Up to date with equipment and skills.

My husband and I started going to Dr. Pries soon after he opened his practice. It has grown significantly since those days, but the level of personal care has never faltered. Everyone has always been excellent from reception, to billing, to hygienists and of course Dr. Pries himself. We are very happy with Dr. Pries as our dental care provider and would highly recommend him and his office to anyone!

I am a patient here, and this place is nothing short of amazing. A clean dental office with professional and friendly staff. Dr. Pries explained and kept me informed. They followed standards and procedures that made me feel confident having my dental work here. The dental hygienists really do a thorough job when it comes to dental cleaning. I highly recommend this dental office.

Absolutely awesome. I got a crown yesterday. This is the second procedure I’ve had done here. I also had a root canal done. I mentioned to Dr. Pries that I needed to leave by 5:00. Not only did he make it happen, it was done right. It fit perfectly.

I had a badly done cracked filling from my old dentist and Dr. Pries gave me a professional filling without pain or problems! Best treatment I’ve ever experienced!!!
