So I'm uptight and dont follow most rules because I'm too busy to remember. Dr. K and Dr S. Are so compassionate and understanding and have the utmost respect and care... not to mention a sense of humor! If your appointment ever runs over its because giggles and whatnot happen and they are worth the wait! 💗💞💕🖖🖖🖖

Would never go back to this place. I was having severe pain after a tooth extraction and thought this place could help me. Dr. Shepherd treated me horribly! Unbelievably rude and insinuated that I was being a baby. He looked in my mouth for about 2 seconds, told me I looked fine and sent me on my way. I went to a different dentist who confirmed I have dry socket and an infection. I thought you said you have been doing this for 40 years? Hmm maybe time to retire. Sending me out the door trying to convince me I am fine when in fact I am not is extremely dangerous. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I've been here several times. First, she filled two front teeth. I informed her I have weird nerve stuff and asked to be numbed twice, she refused. I ended up getting two front teeth cavities taken out with no numbing anywhere but my nose and upper lip. So, I let her know, and she just ignored me and continued the procedure. Then, after they were filled, the fillings popped out. So, I had to get them refilled. Then, one of them got infected. She said she expected it to get infected, she just conveniently didn't tell us it could. So, I had to get a root canal. She gave me some antibiotics, and after 2 weeks I came back in. I reminded her I needed to be numbed twice, she said it wasn't needed again. So, throughout the first part of my root canal I was fine. The second part the numbing ran out, so I got to sit there with a bare gum in horrible pain. I had many more filled, and cavities are coming out again. It was very painful for weeks after every filling because she did them improperly. Her charging was wrong and she was unprofessional. She outwardly judged me for having cavities and had her assistant do all of the work. Overall, there is no reason to go to this dentist. Even if you "save" money you get to make up for it by being charged extra and coming back countless times to fix mistakes she made on her own. Improper numbing caused excessive pain and there was no professionalism. Seriously, do not waste your time here. A dentist who does it just for the money is not one who deserves yours.

Went in knowing I needed at least one crown on a cracked upper molar and an old filling replaced that had fallen out. Was given a quote. My insurance only paid for a limited number of X-rays and I put the remaining balance of close to $1k that they told me wasn’t covered by insurance on my credit card. I was taken back to a room, no friendly interactions with staff. All felt very rushed. Felt like cattle going through for slaughter…just “rush ‘em through, get ‘em done”. When they put in the temporary crown filling, they scheduled me for two weeks out to get the permanent one put in. The temporary one fell out in a week. I called and they said the permanent one was in and had me come in to have it installed. When I checked in I was told there was an outstanding balance still…I paid that. Today, 4 1/2 months later, I get a text from them saying I owe yet again, another $254! Mind you, I have not received a single bill in the mail, email or text from them saying I owe this and here they are threatening to send to collections. When I was sitting in the chair waiting during the procedure, I overheard conversation between the one female dentist and a staff about making sure patients were getting charged…as in a desperate “we need money” way…. I find it very odd that they claim they have snail mailed 3 statements and yet I have not received a single one. They never emailed or text me (as they did today). As far as the procedure, it was “ok” at best. I had over two months of strong sensitivity on that tooth which I don’t remember lasting that long when I’ve had them in the past from other dentists. My biggest complaint is that every time I went in, they had upped the cost of the procedure from what they originally told/charged me…..and the lack of friendliness makes me a “prior” patient….I won’t be going back there to get the other one done. Update September 2026….the filling they replaced broke apart and fell out after seven months…

Love Dr.K!! Love this office. It’s so awesome to see a local hometown Flathead High School girl owning her own dental office. 🩷🩷 and that she takes care of her community.
