Fargo Dentist Reviews

"My visit to see Dr Samuel was pretty awesome. It was a non-scheduled appointment for an abscess tooth. I was in and out in about 30 minutes with 1 less tooth. Very professional, friendly, and caring; a great job done by all involved. Its 2 hrs later and you cannot tell I had a tooth pulled. Thanks a lot!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Thank you to the staff and Dr Bergan at South University Dental. My family and I always enjoy our dental visits. You make us feel as though we are your only patients. You are able to accommodate 5 appointments at one time so we can all be seen on one day. I recently called about tooth pain and was seen the same day! You have great customer service and know what is important to your patients. I really appreciate how Dr Bergan is willing to consult with others in my family who have dental experience. We are so happy with our care! Thank you for all you do for my family!"
