I understand dentists are busy. This is the second time I saw him. Zero personality. Not even the slightest conversation. I'm going to reschedule with a different dentist.

I don't care for Dr Knutson. But I love my hygentist. I find him to be in a rush, and lacks any personality. He comes across as being rude & uninterested in my care. Mentions things about my teeth to hygentist, yet doesn't explain any issues with me. He just leaves exam room- leaving me to ask for an explanation.

I was overwhelmed the day of the visit, so I wasn't really able to ask a lot of questions....he did call me a few days later , tho, to check in on how the procedure went and that really made me feel cared about. I will schedule future appointments with him. I have a big hurdle to get over with trusting dentists...and I think he will be a good fit for me. He was kind and also straightforward and I didn't feel like he was distracted when he was examining me.

Discussed issues from old injuries and fillings from previous providers. Went through the options for a temporary repair, until a crown could be done, and listed out a complete plan for restoring my oral health. Doctor and scheduling took time to go over priorities and recommendations to make sure I am able to maximize my yearly dental benefits from insurance. Couldn't ask for more complete care.

The doctor portion of the exam was very fast, no talk about history of "watching issues" with the tech and just didn't seem as thorough as previous exams. I assume everything is fine, but I think taking a little more time on my teeth or more communication would help this feeling.
