A Word from Dr. Waldau:
I feel as though patients need to be very engaged in their healthcare decisions in order to have the most desirable outcome. I want my patients to be honest with me about what their dental care need is, how it impacts their life, and how they want it to change. In return, my staff and I are very honest with our patients about their options.
I don’t believe my role is to tell my patients what to do. I think my role is to provide as much education and information as they need to choose between the different options available. Then my staff and I can take care of them in a manner that meets their needs physically, emotionally and financially.
Providing excellent, customized and comprehensive care in a friendly, relaxed environment is my goal and my commitment.

Patient Reviews:
“I came in for a cleaning. Holly was the hygienist that took care of me. She was fantastic. The cleaning was very thorough and painless. She seemed genuinely interested in my dental hygiene habits and provided me with helpful tips to improve. I’m not sure anyone really looks forward to a dentist visit, however I am not dreading my next one. Thanks again.”

“Oh, the horror stories one can hear about root canals, but my experience with Dr. Waldau and my root canal was completely different. He made sure I was comfortable and at ease, let me know to call right away if something went wrong. There was minor discomfort when the numbing medication wore off, but I did not feel a single thing during it. Thank you Dr. Waldau!!”
