I was pleasantly surprised with the Fort Dodge Aspen Dental office. The staff was very friendly. The oral surgeon I saw was very thorough in explaining my options and why his medical plan would be best in terms I could understand. Everyone there involved in my surgery did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend this office branch of Aspen Dental.
The staff at Aspen Dental, in Mason City, Ia., is absolutely phenomenal! They are all so welcoming and make me feel completely at ease. Professional and friendly every time they have to see me, making sure my needs are met as a client while also making me feel good as a human being. I feel they truly care about their patients.
Visited Aspen Dental for the first time today, and it was an extremely pleasant experience, considering knowing going in that I was going to need a crown.I got a kick out of the staff-as they were celebrating Christmas in July. It’s refreshing to see a group of people who seem to sincerely enjoy working together.I thought the whole procedure starting with x-rays and ending with the temporary crown was done very professionally. Everything was explained clearly from X-rays to payment options.Thank you to all the office staff that made my visit a pleasant experience: Dr. Hammond, Kerri, Pam, Tracy, Joe, Kelli, and Alicia.
I dont know I was reading some of the negativity and I find that very upsetting but everybody has their choice. I found it very pleasant experience. They were gentle on the X-ray on my teeth. They were polite and considerate. If you think theyre bad you should have went to some that I have been to. Im new to Aspen Dental. But I had good vibes and I think Im going to like Aspen Dental. Nobodys Perfect but they did a darn good job. I would just like to say thank you Aspen Dental for allowing me to be a new patient.
Great staff, very friendly. Very happy with my first visit and will be back!
Mason Citys Aspen Dental is the Absolute BEST! Dr. Hammond,Kerri,Pam,joe,Kelly were very friendly and took good care of me .You cant ask for a better Dentist/staff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aspen Dental. Thank you!
Had a crown Fall out while RVing cross country. Stopped in Iowa and discover Aspen. They were great and provided a treatment plan and wrote a perscription as we were heading to Oregon. Made an appointment at Tigard office in Oregon and again they were very friendly and treated issue. I will be changing over to Aspen when I return to Florida to finish treatment plan.
On a scale of 0 to 10 I would rate Aspen dental as a four or a five. The reason being is the x-rays taken were awkward, bulky and painful. There was also no privacy as the x-rays room had no door so other people could look in on the patient.I also expected a cleaning and an exam on the first visit but instead I was approached to consider buying into the Invisalign deal and an electric toothbrush. On a positive note they were very thorough and they took my insurance so the visit cost very little.
Had great care from beginning to end! Thanks to Tracy, Kelly, Dani, Kerri, Dr Hammond and Pam! It didnt hurt a bit, thankfully cause I am a chicken when it comes to dental work. Hope all the rest of my visits are equally painless 😊😎👍
Very pleased with my visit, staff very friendly and accommodating.
I had a very positive experience with my whole experience from the first visit with my awful tooth pain, that lead to tooth extraction and several other visits to get my dental care back on track. All the staff were friendly and made sure I was well informed on my procedures from the financial stuff to the work being done and any after care I needed to do. 😊😊😊♥️♥️
I put my ill-fitting dentures in each day and cry. They hurt, they gag me and they feel like a brick in my mouth. Aspen has made no effort to follow up In the past six months and I believe it is because I still owe $600 out of$3300. I would not recommend their services
They are excellent. They have great staff. They seem to have this policy of keeping you informed every step of the way. Even as the dentist is working on your teeth, hes telling you what is going on. I appreciate that. It shows respect for the patient.Everyone is very personable.
I recently visited Aspen Dental dealing with a toothache. I get anxiety thinking about going to the dentist, so been putting it off. The staff there was great Gina, Dr Hammond, and Joe were very helpful. Feeling better as to the procedures that are ahead. Thank you
Very professional, very friendly, knowledgeable staff.It was a good experience.
GREAT crew at the Mason City office!!! ALL are very nice and helpful. My procedure today was explained thoroughly and all my questions were answered. Thank you!!! 🙂
Dr. Hammond and his staff, including Pam, Gina, Kerri and Tracy, were very friendly and helpful to me. Great visit!
Everybody is super nice and helpful! Receptionist(Tracy) impressed me before I even got there, “radiologist”(Alicia or Dani?) was friendly & efficient, lead dental hygienist(Kerri) was thorough and informative, dentist was easy to talk to & explained everything, office manager(Pam) was understanding & flexible and dental assistant(Hope) was easygoing and compassionate! Prices are amazing and Dr. Hammond is honest and caring! Everybody in Aspen Dental is smiling even under their masks, they listened to my concerns and addressed all my issues!I was ready to get two crowns because my previous dentist recommended it before switching but Dr. Hammond actually suggested we do fillings first explaining many different reasons why fillings were a better option to try first and if necessary we could switch to crowns later if fillings don’t handle my grinding well. I was ecstatic because fillings cost way less and more of my tooth will be preserved! I am so excited to move forward with our plan to improve the appearance and keep the integrity of my smile!
Very friendly staff extremely knowledgeable dentists and compassionate employees
Everyone is so friendly. They want to make sure you are comfortable while getting your dental needs met. They explain everything clearly to make sure you understand the procedure and aftercare.
The staff at Aspen Dental in Mason City is amazing! From the time you walk into the office to the time you leave! They make you feel so welcome. Tooth pain is horrible and they do all that they can to make it better!
Very friendly and explained things well!!
My overall experience was the best. The staff was amazing...
I cant stand dentist stuff. So of course I put one off for years, until pain left me no choice. Apprehensive but in need, I went to Aspen Dental in Mason City, Iowa. I admitted to my fear of dentistry but told them I need help. They really bent over backwards to make me feel comfortable. Not only was their empathy levels high (across all team members) but they also took the time to explain everything and practically hand-hold me through the process. When all was said and done, I was so happy with their work I nearly cried. For years, I hid my smile due to a visible cavity. As if by magic, my smile is back. Confidence up. A great stress removed. Especially meaningful during these times. Ill add thst the staff has worked out an efficient system that moves people through while still allowing for full social distancing and adherence to all the Covid Craziness protocols we must live with these days. I was satisfied with everything. If I have any criticism it would lie in the fact that they do not work with some insurances. I have two - but could only use one - so I did have to pay a few hundred out of pocket. Still, I had expected it to cost more than it did. And, they had no problem going over prices with me first and getting prior authorization from my insurer. All-in-all, I feel good about how Aspen Dental, Mason City - and their crew - treated me. Good people.
All staff members are very helpful friendly and informative. Very professional establishment
Took a while to get in, but while I was in the office everybody was very pleasant to deal with. Just did a consultation and x-rays, it was nice they gave me the prices up front so I can make arrangements to pay for services being done.
They dont accept my insurance. I went there hoping to have a bad tooth that has been fixed twice already be extracted. But, they refused and wanted to refill and put a crown on. Later, I find out a fill and crown is over $1,000 and an extraction is around $300. Robbers.
I was greeted and welcomed very professionally, every question I had was answered promptly and was treated as if I mattered. The best part was the exam and x-ray was free and I got all the information I needed to make a care plan. Thank you very much for your business!
They are so friendly and nice. They call you by name. They dont just treat the symptoms they treat the problem. I have been in 3 times in a week. Love the girls in the office.
The staff at Aspen Dental is amazing. Everyone is very nice and friendly.
I havent been to a dentist in awhile, I went here to have my recently broken tooth examined. I was nervous! When I got there the receptionist was very friendly! I was checked in quickly. Then I was brought back for my x-ray and taken to the room. The dentist looked at my teeth and let me know what issues he saw. Everyone is very friendly! The office manager helped me with payments and scheduling. She was very informative and helpful! I had a good visit.
I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved my first visit . Very thorough, all so super nice and very knowledgeable
Everyone there was friendly and there was very little wait time in any area of the office. Very professional. Highly recommend.
Aspen Dental in Mason City Ia. I went for the first time and was very impressed with the staff and service I received. I will stay with Aspen and definitely refer my friends and family
Let me revise this. 5 months later my dentures do not fit, they have made no effort for follow-up care and have already billed my insurance over $3,000 dollars. This has been the worst experience I have ever had in the medical profession. At the very least they should have, by now, addressed this and found some solution. Even if its to say sorry, cant help you. Never again
Kerri always takes good care of me and my teeth. she explains each tool and what it does. excellent at her job.. good about telling you about new technology and how it can possibly help me. very nice group of people at the Mason City, IA Aspen dental
Thank you Aspen dental this weekend they offered free visits for veterans. What a great experience. As I walked into the office they greeted me as if they have known me my whole life. From that moment on they took such great care of me. From the front desk to the doctor they made me feel like I was the most important person there. Great Job Aspen Dental you have a new customer. Also what you did for our local veterans on your weekend off shows you care Thanks you!!!!!!!!!!
I had a wonderful experience at the Mason City office. Everyone - the receptionist, the x-ray tech and hygienist, the dentist, absolutely everyone - was professional and friendly. When I told them that have a lot of dental anxiety issues, everyone went out of their way to to make me comfortable and explain every step of the process, and they checked frequently to see if I needed a break at any point. Im very satisfied!
I called my insurance company and they told me it covered everything after 50$ out of pocket. And I called here and they told me 5000$ for cleaning & after insurance I need to pay 2000$ for regular cleaning. Wow thank you 🙏
I liked how everyone (from receptionist to Dr) made me feel so comfortable. All very caring about my needs. Everyone so friendly, so helpful.
Im so happy I cant stop smiling, they are the most friendly and helpful people Ive met. They made sure that Im happy and that my smile is perfect! A big thank you to them all. ( mason city, Iowa)
The entire staff makes a person feel at home! It’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a dentist office! I would recommend this location to anyone that is scared of dental work. They will relieve the anxiety by their charm!
Tracy and Keli were great and I left with new upper dentures that fit well and are working great.
I went in yesterday and Im not going to lie i had not seen a dentist in over 10 years, i knew my teeth were bad so i already knew i needed extractions done but i went in got the news i needed and they helped me out a lot, they were the only ones who would even look at me teeth to begin with because of me not having dental insurance, but i got a referral from them to go to Iowa City and its exactly what i needed so 5 stars is what they DESERVE! thank you ladies and Dr. Hammond you were great! :)
Friendly, accepting of schedule changes and Covid worries, always able to reschedule the appointments. They are following guidelines with Covid too. Good place to go.
Needed to have a tooth pulled, but ended up getting a quote for an astronomical amount to have all teeth pulled and a new set of dentures. Just shy of $17,000 Dollars. Unreal, and left with the same bad tooth I came originally to get fixed. I ended up going to another reputable place, had all my teeth pulled, and their highest quality of dentures with a 7 year warranty for only $6500. Id say shop around, its obvious this is just about the number, not the patient.
It was great .....EVERYONE was so nice and very professional.....made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood everything. Next appointment is coming up and look forward to coming back not really to get my tooth pulled but because everyone is AWESOME
Dentist seems nice and knowledgeable, Ive only had an initial exam so far. I did feel like I was treated as if Id never had dental care before even after I had told them at several points in the process that I have a regular dentist elsewhere and just had a cleaning. Im only going to Aspen for work because they are an in network provider. If it wasnt such a degrading experience Id consider coming for more services.
Amazing front staff! They greet you with a smile.. Even if they are busy. Hygienist is so gentle, thorough and personable. The doctor is very patient and informative. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome dental office!
Very nice people thereVery helpful an treated you like family
Dr. was extremely helpful by getting me in quickly and resolving my issue in one trip.Thanks
Awsum place really great staff highly recomend to anyone
I was apprehensive at first going to a new dentist. But, I was completely and pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the staff and the thorough and comprehensive examination. I have to admit, I never experienced such an examination like that and I came out with a lot more knowledge about my teeth and care for my teeth. Great staff and wonderful Dentist!
The staff is just the BEST! They are so friendly, helpful, and explain everything they are doing. I went in today and they all remembered me, and asked how I was feeling after the procedure! They have been very upfront about fees and no surprises! Thank you so much for helping me get a healthy smile back!
First time patient and left feeling very satisfied. Everyone I spoke with was very in-depth explaining what I needed to know, what the next steps are going to be. Very professional.
Best dental experience ever. The staff was great and caring. They made me feel comfortable and gave me the sense that they were there to take care of my wants, needs and fears. They were able to get me an appt quickly and repaired my broken tooth within 24 hours. Thank you very much.
I was concerned about my teeth, of course, I didnt know what was exactly going on. I was welcomed in by friendly staff. I was introduced to the wonderful x-ray technician as well as everyone involved with me and my teeth. :) I felt more at easy as I had explained my situation. I felt listened to, as well as, having a normal conversation. It put me at easy. I found out my painful problem. Last but not least, given solution for my issues. I love my teeth and my smile. Thank you Apen Dental for your help to insure that my teeth remain healthy . Thank you
First visit went better than expected! So far so good. I have work scheduled and Amanda was awesome to work with in order to get my procedures started. Friendless started the moment I sat down in the lobby and didnt end until I walked out the door! If I only knew this before I wouldnt have waited so long to make the first visit!
I appreciate your keeping on schedule with your appointments. The technician was always informing me of the next step. She was very professional and was happy to assist her with showing a new assistant how Aspen handles different tasks.
Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Willingness to help each person with all their needs.
They explained what was going on with my teeth and made it comfortable. Hope made the xrays enjoyable
Best exam Ive ever had at a dentist and the first visit was free. Everyone was so nice and friendly.
The dentist, hygienist, and assistant were wonderful. When it came to discovering the cost, nothing was broken down so I could understand it, and I was told that I would have a substantial co-pay, even though my insurance should have covered everything. When I went to make an appointment to start the work, I was told that before I could even set up an appointment, I would have to give them 60% up front. Again, insurance. Its a giant con game. AVOID!
Came in a few days ago for a xrays. Turns out my previous dentist missed a bunch no surprise to me kinda expected it The people here are so friendly. Yesterday went in to get them removed and was walked through the procedure. The doctor was very friendly. I was in and out in less than a hour for three tooth extractions. They are also cheaper compared to other places. The only downside is they dont accept my insurance not many do
Every visit went well. Staff is always chipper and full of fun and smiles. It helps to be in that environment when you yourself is experiencing anxiety over what you might be there for. The end result of 8 appointments looks white and fantastic!!! I love the new smile. Its been a long while since I had the perfect smile to share with everyone. Thank you ladies & gents for all of your care and attention. You all ROCK, LRB
At first I was skeptical to try a new dentist. Immediately when we walked into Aspen Dental, we were greeted by warm smiles and genuine remarks. It did not stop there. We seemed to meet the entire staff, who were equally friendly and genuine! The dental staff were knowledgeable and extremely helpful! We even had an outstanding health planning representative speak candidly and courtesly to us as we went over our health plan decisions. We had an outstanding experience at Aspen Dental!
Awesome staff! State of the at equipment. Hygienist is so gentle and caring. Doctor is so personal. Love this place!
Over an extended period of time I have been well pleased with the quality of Aspens professional and para-professional staff. All were well qualified, personable and, on any given day, jovial. Suffice it to say thatIve never had an easier time in a dentists office. I could put a string of complimentary superlatives together to amplify that point, but Ill leave it with this. I almost hope Ill have another problem with me teeth so I can go back and see my friends at Aspen Dental in Mason City IA.
Very fun group of people!! The atmosphere is wonderful!! In and out as well!
The site and staff were very appealing. The timing, equipment, and information were very satisfactory. There was no pressure to sign up for treatment of my condition. The fare estimate for the required surgery considerably exceeded my naive expectation, so I will delay having the needed work done. I was quite pleased that the numerous x-rays and consultation were at NO charge.
Such friendly staff. Actually had a good time at the dentist office. Friendly, courteous and professional. Even had a few laughs!
Once the Dentist came in it was fine.But I had to wait a little over a half hour once I was back in the exam room.I Also needed to make another appointment for Denture realingmentAnd they had me pay ahead of time before I ever came to my next appointment to get the work done.I didn’t think that was necessary.I have good insurance.
I explored Aspen Dental not knowing much about the place, as I wanted to get in before the New Year hit. I made an appointment online which was super easy to do. Dr. Hammond was very friendly and straight up. Kerri, Gina, and Tracy were the crew that assisted me with x-rays, hygiene, checking-in, etc. They were probably the most down to earth people I have ever met. I mean going to the dentist kind of sucks anyway, so to feel comfortable around the people who work there is the best case scenario. Val who deals with insurance and pricing, was trying her hardest to get me the best deal on crowns possible, and made several phone calls to ensure this. All this took place right in front of me, no closed doors, so I knew what was going on at all times. As a result, I wont go anywhere else for my dental needs. Good job Aspen!
Dr Blaine is a great dentist. A magician with the novacaine. Hardly feel the needle. He is amazing. Best Dentist. All the people working there are very friendly.
Theyve made me feel At ease which is good for person who has anxiety about dentistry. When they say there will be no judging about your dental condition they really minute. Totally looking forward to my next visit which is in about 15 minutes definitely recommend
Very friendly staff. Felt welcomed and at home. I was uneasy about this appointment, but felt reassured instantly. Thank you, Aspen Dental, for showing me how a patient should feel. Welcomed, at ease, and appreciated. I will return.
I had a large bridge that needed to be replaced. They did xrays for free. Then I had the scheduled appointment. All went smoothly. They were very concerned about pain and I really didnt have much. Very professional. I will go back!
They told me exactly what I needed done to keep my dental hygiene up. I was very pleased with all the personnel. Very courteous. I will definately be using Aspen Dental for all my future dental needs. I highly recommend them.
Very positive staff and very caring everyoneThanks for the laughs and smilesAlways supportive staff and caring.Thank you so much for the smiles and feeling comfortableYou all have a great week.
I recently visited the Mason City office and Kari and Lynn were very friendly and professional in with my cleaning and getting a filling on a tooth. They made experience very easy and made it easy to with stand the experience of a filling of a tooth. I would highly recommend this office and there staff are worth the visit.
Everyone is super friendly and prompt! I had a great experience. I will continue to receive dental care from this facility and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist
Everyone was very nice and helpful. I am a nervous dental patient and I was put at ease right away. Thank you!
Everyone is so friendly. Definitely made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Looking forward to more interaction.
I love my hygienist and my dentist. Both extremely professional and friendly . Aspen also makes sure to go the extra mile for you to help you with any scheduling conflicts .
I have had previous dental offices that treated me more as an inconvenience rather than a good patient or friend. At Aspen Dental everyone is very friendly & seem to be genuinely happy to see me. The doctor, assistant & hygienist I saw were super; they were careful to cause as little discomfort as possible, they explained their procedures well & treated me with respect. Im extremely satisfied with this Mason City branch.
This was the most professional,enjoyable visit to a dental office in my 66 years of life.
Aspen dental was very good at the.exam. They showed me my xrays and the choices to my care (which I discovered everyone should see their xrays and ask questions). The only problem is cost which is prohibitive. I will return to Aspen Dental for my next cleaning.
Everyone was very nice and very helpful. I felt very comfortable being there. Best place I’ve been to in a long time.
If you give awards to your offices for excellent service this office should get it. I have been going here for almost 5 years,they know me by name and are always so cheerful and friendly and I always look forward to visits at their office (I used to dread going to the dentist) Thanks for the always positive experience!
It was calm staff was great and very personable. Tried everything to get financial assistance to cover 5 extractions and 2 fillings. Overall im highly satisfied with everything from the dental aid/ nurse taking xrays to bill pay to the receptionist as i was leaving. Highly recommend aspen dental.
Always make a dental trip fun. Entire staff is exceptional!SUSAN G.
Always friendly and great service Kerri always does a great job and explains everything before she does it.
Honestly I thought I was going in for a cleaning as well as a preventative check up. Had exrays and gums checked, than met with the coordinator and he gave one piece of paper with a price on. Which was pretty high.. I asked why do you give me the itemized statement so I can see the costs... after I got the sheet, they had $130 on for a electric toothbrush, $70 cancer screen, and over $100 for cleaning which my insurance covers 100%, after discussing the insurance the bill changed to 40% off, which I had 3 gravity’s and my insurance cover 80%, kinda funny how if nobody questions the bill I am sure people will just pay the bill.. they should automatically show an itemized quote for the work... I do see a lot of older folks that go there, and I am sure they don’t question a lot of it....
The finance process is very unethical. They add all kinds of upcharges and extras that insurance does not cover. If a customer wants an optional cancer screening then let them ask for it. Do not just put it on the bill when you go to “check out”. I wonder how many people don’t even ask questions and just pay it. Feels a lot more like a shady car dealership than a dental office. I would not recommend my worst enemy to go there.....well maybe them. Long story short pay for the out of pocket costs because the service will be better and you will still end up paying less. What a joke!
Great place to go..I was a walk in and was treated like an old friend..everyone there is friendly,informative and actually FUN-i was comfortable right from the start...I will be recommending Aspen Dental to anyone who has a question
I got right in. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend aspen dental to get your dental work done.
Everyone is very kind and welcoming from the second you walk in to the time you walk out the door. They explain everything in a way that I can understand.
Best Dental care I have received in a Long Time! They understood my concerns and were great at explaining what care I needed. Very Friendly and Welcoming enviroment!
Im here with a friend who is very anxious when it comes to dentistry. They made him feel fine about coming in. No judging or lectures. Very easy to work with.
It was good but I didnt go there to have them tell me what Im going to do with my teeth. I only went to have a tooth taken out. I know whats wrong with them. The murses are really nice for me thats imporant since I have anxiety and panic attack.
