"I had my usual preventative services done today- a regular cleaning and a panoramic X-ray [this is generally only done once every 5 or more years, depending on your insurance coverage]. The fairly recently re-done practice is now nothing short of wonderful! There is now plenty of space in the new Panorama X-Ray room and it was VERY nice to be IN a room while standing there rather than how it used to be, and still is other places- at the end of a hall- where every person who walks in or out of several stations could see you. So I appreciate the space being made only for this. Thank you! My dental hygienist was once again the BEST in the UNIVERSE, and I've been saying that for over a decade now. In years past, I've gone other places but once I found her, I've never gone elsewhere. Ever. Nor will I. She is wonderfully friendly, always has a beautiful smile on her face, and is so so personable. She truly cares about your health, and takes the time to understand what is going on with you personally. She doesn't ever rush her work, even if there's extra things to do that visit, like X-rays or a fluoride treatment. Her skills are second to NONE and I only wish I could rate her even more than 5 stars because she has earned them a bazillion times over!!! I also have to mention her fantastic knowledge of her art. Again, there aren't enough stars in the sky to give her what she deserves. She knows her stuff folks! I have terrible trouble with teeth sensitivity, and she has shown me different things to try, and she shares things that TRULY work! I've also recently been dealing with dry mouth as a side effect to a medicine I'm taking, and she knew all about that and how to treat it as well. In fact I don't think I've ever asked a question that she couldn't answer herself right then and there. I have every confidence that if I ever do, she will point me in the right direction. Then, the next time I come in, she is always sure to ask me... "Now how did such-and-such work out for you? Is it better?" If it isn't, she gives me plan B before sending me on my way. It is just so wonderful to be able to have the kind of truly excellent, continuing care that my whole family has been fortunate enough to receive at this dental practice. In fact I can say that I've never found it quite like this ANYWHERE else, EVER. This place should be the ultimate goal of every office in the world. From the front office & billing, to all of the hygienists, all the way to Dr. DeBates and his lovely assistants, like Tammy. Once we had children, we brought them in as well. They have always made it easy on the kiddos, especially since both of mine had major anxiety about going to the dentist. Everything that had to be done was done perfectly, and it was smoothed over extra special to accommodate those fears and apprehensions kids can sometimes have. My kids aren't afraid of going to the dentist anymore!!! For more than 13 years now, Dr. DeBates and his team have taken care of all of us. Exquisitely. AMAZING PEOPLE, AMAZING CARE."

"First time patient. Entire staff was very professional and super personable. My daughter loved it!"

"If you have to go to the dentist, make it this office! Quick appointments, convenient location, courteous staff, extremely gentle hygienists, and experienced dentists."

"I can't think of anything that would have made anything better. Dr. Debates explained in detail everything to me showed me on the x-ray of what was going on which I think was excellent. Everyone was professional and kind. I would highly recommend South University Dental."

"Prompt and friendly service for the last 38 years I have been a patient."

"I like the fact that when your appointment is at a certain time (ie: 10:00 AM), you get in within a few minutes of the scheduled time. Never had to wait long. The entire office is efficient, friendly. A well oiled machine. Nice atmosphere when a person comes into the office."

"Excellent Service. Very friendly and professional."

"This office is very organized, courteous to patients and prompt. Dr. Samuel tackled a complex problem with my new partial and got me smiling in short order. I will be back to see him to do more restorative dental work in the coming months. The staff were very nice & polite and in addition, myself not having insurance, I have to say the rates here are very, very reasonable and the dental work top notch! Thank You!"

"Professional and friendly! Deb is awesome. She has been my hygienist for the past 10 years. I would highly recommend her and the dental staff."

"I have always had a lot of anxiety with going to the dentist, even for regular cleanings. I have found that I no longer feel that anxiety before a visit. The last few years, along with today I have seen Jamie. She is very professional, kind, caring, comforting, along with very thorough. I had the best appointment I have ever had at a dentist. Jamie says its because I am flossing more, but I think it is also the ease I feel before, during, and after the appointments. I would also like to mention how assured and relaxed I am knowing if something does come up and I need more work done that Dr. Samuel is equally as great. Thanks for finally making my dentist experiences positive."

"Great place. Always treated like family."

"Dr DeBates office runs a professional and courteous office. Explanations are made as they worked on me. They answered any questions that I have. Timely in and out. Handle my billing in a very timely manner. "

"Dr. Bergan has got to be the best dentist I've been around he's very good at what he does."

" I had a great appointment today! The office recognized me right away and welcomed me back in a friendly, inviting way!! Then, when I went into the chair, they fixed my tooth without my appointment being about that tooth. He squeezed me in and it was done in a jiffy. Now I feel I can smile proudly! They are awesome!"

"This appointment was great, as were all the others in years past. Caring people who know what they're doing with a smile on their face. A distinct breath of fresh air!"

"First visit! The staff is very friendly and fast!"

"They always take good care of me. 35 years of care! Very well trained, friendly, and efficient doctors, hygienists, and admin staff. Always spotless surroundings. Comfortable modern office space and easy to get to location."

"On arrival at the dental office I was greeted and was quickly helped to update my insurance information. I had a very short wait before my name was called for my cleaning. The hygienist was friendly and my cleaning went well. Dr Debates checked my teeth and there were no cavities. Start to finish I was there less than an hour."

"Although going to the dentist has never been something I look forward to, I have always been very pleased with the service received. Dr. Samuel is so friendly, shaking my hand before beginning the exam; he puts me right at ease. His straight forward approach to is also appreciated. My dental cleaning appointment was moved up due to an opening in the schedule; I was glad to be called. [My hygenist] was friendly and attentive to my needs. Her exam was the most thorough exam I have ever received; she explained what she was doing throughout; I liked that. I give my visit very high marks!"

"Great service, friendly staff, Got me in right away for a tooth that was infected. Does a great job at explaining what he is going to do and what was going on with the infected tooth."

"Absolutely cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bergan and all of the staff!! Our entire family has been more than happy with these guys!!"

"I had a filling today. Friendly, efficient and professional staff all around."

"They made my visit to a dentist office nice. Also, I am shift worker so I am grateful they are opened on Fridays."

"I really appreciate that I was given information in a way that was understandable and made it seem like I am a partner in my health care along with the practioners."

"My visit was very pleasant. I will be recommending your dental office to all people I know. Thanks!"

"You listened to my requests; followed up on my requests; answered my questions. Were very pleasant. Give me honest opinions."

"On time, very professional and fun!"

"Get job, thorough,extremely friendly. Always feel like I am in good hands a S. Univ. Dental."

"Glad Dr. Fellman could smooth out my chipped tooth. I hope the root canal and crown goes well like it has before. Not happy of course that that has to happen but old age catches up with teeth too I guess."

"I have been suffering with tooth and gum pain for about 3 days. I was already scheduled to be in Fargo Tuesday and they were able to get me in with Dr. DeBates. The staff was very cordial and friendly. I would surely recommend your business to other friends."

"Family of 6, have been going to South University Dental for years... Dr. Debates and his staff are top notch."

"Molly and Dr. Samuel did a great job! I appreciate their gentleness, kindness and professionalism!"

"The stats don't lie. This is a great place! If you can get an appt take it because they are busy and do great work. The place is clean, modern and looks to be up to date on all their equipment. A real nice place to go when your teeth are not so happy."

"This is my first experience with a dentist after moving to Fargo last year. I got a referral to this office and to Dr. Samuel. He was so fun, treated me and everyone around him with the utmost respect, and did a great job. He was careful and thorough, and explained the process to me as we went along. So glad I am now a patient at South University Dental!"

"Always efficient and friendly office. A+"

"We were able to be seen in an after hours dental emergency, the staff was very accommodating and helpful."
