When I was 25 I was in the middle of a root canal with another dentist. In the middle of all that I was diagnosed with Cancer and decided to leave my job to pursue other interests. The original dentist fired me as a client as I no longer had health insurance. Scared unsure where to turn I started calling around and Dr. Wolven accepted me with an open chair. He not only fixed me up but treated me with so much kindness I never looked back. I am almost 50 now and see Dr. Wolven for everything. He has helped me when I was in a bad car accident when my front teeth were chipped and broken he fixed them, he helped me after hours when I had such bad tooth pain I was on the ground...read full review
I've seeing Dr. Wolven off and on for almost twenty(20) years. It's been a wonderful experience though out. His staff is professional and friendly. Always upfront with the charges and procedures....even giving me advice on what procedures are not necessary at the time. I've just lots of confidence in his work...Always smiling and engaging....
I found Dr. Wolven when my main dentist went on vacation. All it took was one visit for me to decide to switch to him. That was almost 30 years ago, and now I always pray that he remains in good health so he can continue dentistry. He does use hearing aids, but that doesn't deter his service. I really appreciate how he does "the shots"; he has a technique that makes it quite tolerable. All of his work has been top-notch; he is worth what he charges, which has to cover a professional and nice office. I only had one glitch with him, but that's cuz he is a mainstream doctor; he does not care to hear about my use of tea tree oil and neem toothpaste when I tell him why, according to him, "I have the best gums he's seen". Also, when I got an infection in my jaw after a root canal, he would not admit that I had gotten one; fortunately, I was able to get antibiotics from another doctor. But alternative dentists tell the truth about how root canals can lead to infection.
