I’ve been going to NLD for many years (as does my family). I’ve had patient care (fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns- the works) from both Dr. Hallie and Dr. Yahnke. Both are extremely skilled and professional. Everyone who works there is very friendly and patient. Would highly recommend.

I recommend the NLD team to anyone. Every experience I’ve had with them has been positive; from the front desk to the dentists. You expect professionalism, but you also get friendly, caring, gentle interactions from someone who makes you feel like part of a family. That is so hard to find these days!

I called to schedule an appointment for myself and my daughter as new patients. I was told that they are accepting new patients but that they are not accepting my insurance at this time, which is IM Care. I guess if you have a nice job that provides you with good dental insurance then they will take you because they get paid more. would that be considered discrimination? I also told them I have Uni - Care dental plan which is basically like paying cash and I was told they don't accept that either. I have called every dentist in the Grand Rapids area and have been told the exact same thing. What

I have been with Northern Lake Dental over 30 years. When Doc Sherman was there I learned he was less scary than the tooth fairy. Now one of his daughters practices Dental there so I have the quality care from her and her partners for a decent smile many more years I hope. Thanks for the cleaning yesterday and Thanks Dr. Cargill. Such a friendly staff indicates many things, above all it indicates a happy work enviroment.

Northern Lakes Dental is amazing. Even though during this pandemic time I don't get a hug from Dr. Cargill, I can feel her warmth and caring from a distance. I just had a tooth pulled yesterday, and she was so professional and helpful. She explained my options, told me what to expect, and was a true hero. Her assistant was great as well. Kudos!!

I've gone to Northern Lake Dental for 38 years since I was a kid. I now take our 5 kids here and the service is top notch. The dentists are knowledgeable and professional. The hygienists are friendly. They do a good job with special needs / autism kiddos too.

Dr. Cargill and Patty make going to the dentist as pleasant an experience as it can be. They are caring and share so much information with me. This office was recommended to us when we moved to Grand Rapids in 2010, and we were pleased with the staff and dentists since the first visit.

I have been a patient at Northern Lakes Dental for approximately 5 years. One of the main reasons why I returned regularly is the friendly atmosphere throughout the office. The care that I receive is very professional and very personal. They take the time to get to know you as an individual. I highly recommend Northern Lakes Dental in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. You won't be disappointed.

I'm glad my friend referred me here after my own dentist retired. My last visit was superb Dash the assistant, Arielle, was knowledgeable and patient but very very fun to visit with as well. Dr. Ihle listen closely to my concerns about which services I wanted done in which order and was willing to adjust the schedule of my care plan. Front desk staff have been superb, both on the phone and in person. I've gotten great, clear information about my plan, My out-of-pocket expense, and what to expect at each visit. An excellent experience all around.
