Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

RUN away - completely incompetent and painful
Horrible dentist. Very arrogant, easily angered, he's there only for the money and charges for things you don't need. He said my son had 24 cavities, we had 18 filled, then Dr. Sten's father filled in one day and looked at the xrays, he said my son didn't have any more cavities and his father seemed a little shocked at the dental plan his son had created. Dr. Sten also did not wait for the numbing shots to work before he worked on my mouth and two of my children's mouths - it hurt and he was angry we wanted to wait a few more minutes - this was over 3 separate visits. He did a root canal - he should not be doing root canals. 3 rounds of antibiotics and 2 years later it STILL HURTS, the tooth should be dead. That tooth has to be pulled now, he didn't leave enough tooth behind to redo the root canal. Dr. Sten likes money and he uses people to get it. His father (Mart) was a good dentist, fair priced and was honest with the dental work he did. The son is horrid!!!!!! AVOID!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I both came to Dr. Sten in a serious way. We had gone to another dentist in the area and I had picked up an infection. We are always treated with kindness and expert care. I highly recommend anyone who has need or extreme anxiety about dentists, go here and ask for Sten. It's a clean and happy, but very professional and thorough dental office and Sten is now a hero to me.

I recently have been working with The Sten Erickson, DMD team. I've had various work to include, not limited to cleaning, X-ray's, root canal, implant prep, you name it. Amazing is all I can say. I've had little to no discomfort, during or after each procedure, not requiring any pain management. The entire team are extremely intelligent and quite obsessive about the quality of care my teeth are getting. I can't quite explain the amount of care they provide, in this survey.

Dr Sten and his staff are so wonderful. I have always been greeted so sweetly by the girls up front and handled the same till I walk out of their doors. I don't feel the anxiety of coming to this office as I have in the past with other offices. God bless.
