I chose a career in oral healthcare because I grew up surrounded by it. My mom, Kristine, worked in a dental office, and I spent quite a bit of time in the dental chair as a kid myself. When I was 12, I broke two of my front teeth at school. The care and compassion I received from my dental team—and the life-changing impact of their work—deeply influenced my decision to pursue this field.
Creating relationships with the broad range of patients who I get to see is such an enriching experience. We get to see them about every two months over the course of their active treatment with us. It’s really great to get to know them over that time so we can more deeply share the enjoyment that comes with completing the treatment.

For the time, my autistic child got through a full cleaning with no issues, something we haven’t been able to do with our previous dentist.

Very kind helpful people who were able to get my very uncooperative son in for much needed work as soon as a month. Other places we checked were booked out months, some even a year. We had to drive 2 hours to find this place but it was worth it, because our son’s teeth are fixed for the present and we would still be waiting otherwise! Dr Potocki was also very helpful in helping us decide how much to tackle at this sedation appointment, as we are self pay and simply can’t dump $5,000 dollars into our son’s mouth all at once. We are very pleased with how it all went! We will be back later with future needs! Anna Sondergard2024-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our whole experience here was FANTASTIC. The staff was so welcoming and the facility was beautiful. My son had a cavity filled and the experience was so enjoyable, I'm worried he might want to get another one 😉. He was able to watch a show while they did the work and it was done so quickly! We also loved Brady, the therapy dog. Very impressed!! Samantha Henshaw2024-12-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome dentist, really great with kids.
