We have been customers of George Gundersen and now Arne Gundersen and have been very satisfied with the services they have provided over the years. The reception and dental hygiene staff are top notch too. We especially enjoy the services of our regular hygienist Kari

Never had a poor experience! I’m so glad I was introduced to this place 5 years ago! Kari (sp?) is a gem of a hygienist and Dr. Gunderson is proficient in his craft! Every moment from walking in the door makes me look forward to my visits.

I had a very hard time with Anxiety in the chair. Kari has me sitting still and feeling good about dental visits. So good I can get the extra cleaning I really need and have been afraid to sit still for. Dr. Arne is conscientious and very good at his work. The tidy professional office is also convenient. I appreciate this dental team and recommend them to anyone looking for Dental care.

Dr. Gundersen is very kind as well is all his staff. I really dislike going to the dentist, as do most people, but the kindness of the staff always puts me at ease. They offer payment plans if you have to have expensive work done and can't pay right away.

Everybody here is competent, cheerful, conscientious and thorough.I’ve been with them for 40 years, and the care is excellent, painless, and uses new technology. Conversation is limited in a dental chair, but I get a lift from the conversations I’ve had, and am always impressed with their engagement and interest.

This office was recommended to me by a friend of mine. This was only my first visit, but I was very satisfied with my experience. Each employee I interacted with was very friendly and seemed happy to be there. The clinic is very nice and clean. Dr. Gundersen was personable and genuinely interested in my dental health. His examination was thorough, and instilled a great amount of confidence in me for my future relationship with him and his staff.

My first experience at the Gundersen clinic was outstanding. Over the phone and in person customer service was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I appreciated the extent of Dr. Gundersen's exam and the folks who assisted. The hygienist who clean my teeth was friendly, careful, and thorough. I also appreciated the matter-of-fact manner in which my results were shared with me. They were prioritized to what needed to be done first, etc. I did not feel like someone was trying to "upscale" for services I did not need. This has not always been experience in dental offices.

Office Update for COVID-19

While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We also want to let you know that our schedule and scheduling processes have changed to accommodate these new infection control procedures.  As a result, if any of you had a scheduled appointment expect to receive a call from us (don’t call us, we’ll call you) in the near future to reschedule you according to our new infection control procedures.  Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

  • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
  • We will ask you to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when you enter the office. 
  • You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys, and so forth since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect. 
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
