Great! I have been coming for years, very friendly! Great service. You are always greeted with smile by front desk Jannett. Doctor Carlson & Marilyn are very responsible and do a very thorough job. They are extremely courteous also. Awesome dental office.

I am a 20+ year patient of Dr. Bruce's. He and Marilyn are the most knowledgable, meticulous and patient dentist/hygentist team in all of Illinois. I had one dental emergency about 17 years ago: a cracked tooth on a weekend morning. One call and an hour later, I walk out of their office with a "brand new tooth". Dr. Bruce, Marilyn and Jannett have always made me feel part of their family. They are kind, solid people who treat their patients with respect and, most important, dignity. And by the way, I still have that "brand new tooth" 17 tears later. I wish I could give them 6 stars.

Dr. Carlson is always very thorough and kind. He puts his patients first. My family and I have been going to him for all our dental needs for years. I can't say enough good things Mrs. Carlson who is the dental hygienist. She is so good with me and my kids. The rest of the staff is wonderful too.
