“Long story.... when we first moved to the Bitterroot ( 2021/2022 ) My husband needed a dentist quickly and we landed here. Lovely office, and mostly accommodating, but sadly they did not take Medicare. ( ugh! ) I also felt the receptionist and policies regarding payments, discounts etc. was at that time; was a bit put off-ish in my opinion. I decided to not use them, ( I have dental Ins ) but my husband moved forward to the tune of about $10k of cash paid dental work over a few years. He stayed with them because he liked them. Fast forward to Thanksgiving week 2024. On the Friday before Thanksgiving tooth pain started for me and I thought I could manage it. Saturday to Monday was pretty much pure horrible pain, Ibuprofen and Ice packs. Over the weekend we called my dentist ( Husband did ) left a message. But he failed to listen to the whole message saying they were closed all Thanksgiving week. After figuring out that they were because I called in after not getting a return call Monday. After numerous calls around the valley for a 1) A dentist open, 2) Take an emergency NEW patent & 3) Not have to drive 50 miles to Missoula. My husband says lets call my dentist Dr Myer in Stevensville. He did and they said I could come in Monday afternoon, Nov 25th, then after that visit they worked me in for an extraction the 26th. I will say this... First off they got me in, second, they were so kind and caring. The first visit was yeah... its bad it has to come out. So back the next day for the extraction. Arja the tech is an exceptional human being and tech, she walked me through what, how, etc.. I paid extra $ for nitrous because --- well you know why. Honestly the extraction took all of like 8 minutes.. but I got Nitrous, topical numb, and then shots, but this is hands down the best doctor and tech I've ever had and I am 63. All went very well and Dr Meyer called me personally on Friday to make sure I was ok. I was, and I am. I had waited for my next appointment for 2 weeks for a bone graph for this tooth site as it was an extraction and 40+ year old bridge was removed. Just had that bone graph yesterday 12/9/24, again everything went well... my anxiety was the worst thing over these past few weeks. They understood my pain, the need for antibiotics and my anxiety. I was looking for another dentist anyway as the one I was going to; kind of treated you like cattle. LOL.. maybe its just a MT thing. LOL. Amy at the front desk is new and she is awesome as well. I just wanted to post a great review as I feel this is an exceptional dentist surrounded by an awesome team. I am very grateful for the kindness and help they gave me. Now an Implant or two next July 2025. And Just FYI, if a dentist makes you wait a bit longer, and your in for a cleaning or any other minor issue or your numbed up and not in pain... Keep in mind it could be for another patent that's in much more pain than you.“
