Dear valued patient:

At Northwest Dental Group, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients and team. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously.

In an effort to support national efforts to fight the COVID- 19 pandemic, our practice is taking the following steps to help assure your health and well-being and that of our community:

  • We are following directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a way to limit patient and staff exposure to this virus.
  • Your health, and the health of our dedicated staff, matters to us, so going forward we will suspend all non-emergency care.
  • Patients will be seen only for urgent and emergency dental needs.

If you are already scheduled for an urgent issue, we will contact you the day before your appointment to discuss your health status, health screening protocols and confirm whether the appointment should be kept. Of course, please call us right away if you have a dental emergency or need immediate care.

The safety and well-being of our patients continues to be our primary concern. We will continue to monitor the status of COVID-19 nationally and within our community and keep you up-to-date regarding our plans to reopen for business as usual.

I urge you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We can be reached by phone at 507-289-3921 and will respond as soon as we can.

Sincerely,
Katie Post, D.D.S.

When you visit Northwest Dental, you can expect to be greeted with a smile at the door. There's always coffee and water and chocolate chip cookies, so that's a benefit. They will get you back into the chair quickly. You will not have a long wait. They are very thorough in asking you on your first visit kind of your experience, to know if you have anxiety about going to the dentist. I feel like they treat you appropriately according to what you have told them, but they are always willing to listen to you, and I always leave with a smile on my face.

I chose Northwest Dental Group because I had Dr. Post's kids in class, and so I got to know her through that and just had a very comfortable relationship with her. We were unhappy with our previous dental pediatrician, and so I just moved my kids over to Northwest Dental first, and then my husband and I followed shortly after.

We all love her. My husband hates going to the dentist, and he is comfortable with Dr. … I mean he still hates going, but it's not as bad when he knows he's going to see Dr. Post, and she's very calming for him. Because I had her kids in class, I have a different relationship with her, so we're like laughing and talking and catching up on life, and she's just so personable and remembers details when my kids come in to see her that just make them feel more comfortable at the dentist.

The process at Northwest Dental was so smooth for my kids. Neither one of them mind going to the dentist. It's just kind of a routine thing that they know they have to do every six months. Both of them have had to have fillings put in, and it's just, they don't dread going to the dentist. And that's what I wanted for my kids, was the dentist to be a positive experience, because they'll be going to the dentist for many years to come.

Dr. Sperling is very nice. He is good with conversation and keeping you relaxed. He is probably one of the most knowledgeable doctors I’ve ever seen. Just keeping you comfortable but still kind of making sure you know what’s going on with your teeth and keeping you healthy. I used to be kind of nervous because I didn’t keep up with my hygiene but they kind of got me on track and got me on a good routine so I’m not really as nervous any more about pain or the flossing part even. All the doctors are really good here. It doesn’t matter who you get, you’re going to get a great doctor. It is a very friendly environment, very welcoming staff. Everybody tries to make you as comfortable as possible and just overall above and beyond customer service really.

Dr. Odland, she was very friendly when she came in and we had to fill out these forms and so she went over all the little details with me which I thought was nice and she didn’t overlook anything and if I had any concerns, she would help me out with it and so I think she focused on the details which I really liked. It’s not very nerve racking to come here because when you think of the dentist, you think “oh they are going to drill my teeth” and a lot of people have a fear of going to the dentist. I think here they are just really friendly and it’s like a positive atmosphere that people want to come to.

Dr. Post is engaging. She has a sense of humor that meshes beautifully with mine. I trust her completely. She has a great eye. I have beautiful crowns because of her eye and who she uses for the finishing up of the crowns. My experience with having crowns, if you can say that’s pleasurable, it’s been pleasurable for me. It’s the staff and the quality of care that they give. I have several crowns in my mouth closer to the front that you cannot possibly discern that they are crowns. They probably look a little better than my natural teeth. I would say that this is about as close to painless dentistry as I’ve ever experienced. It is hard to enjoy coming in for a crown but this practice makes it about as enjoyable as it can be.

Dr. Post is really nice and really gentle. They let me sit in the chair and they don’t hurt me at all. My favorite part about coming to the dentist is learning how to brush my teeth. I think this is a place other kids would like too.

Monica Fenlon Read Transcript

Well I really like it because the staff are all really nice. My hygienist, I’ve heard that some people get really strong armed ones and it really hurts but it never hurts to me. The staff is super nice, they always ask you your name. They are just really open and like some people are scared to go to the dentist but I’ve never been scared to go to the dentist and I think it’s partly because I go here.

Margaret Fenlon Read Transcript

They care about their patients. They want to make sure that appointments fit in your schedule. They want to make sure that you are comfortable. They promote good dental hygiene and they explain the good practices that you should use at home. I don’t have a lot of problems with my teeth but they give me a lot of hints on how to continue to take care of them and I did actually have to have a crown once. That was kind of traumatic for me because I don’t have a lot of problems but they were very good about the whole procedure and taking care of me while I was actually sitting in the chair. I was more afraid of the noise so they had headphones for me so I didn’t have to hear everything and that was actually better that I could listen to music. So that was great.

I think because they are so up front with what’s going to happen so that you are always prepared for the next thing that you will hear or feel, it really helps you feel like you are in control. I think their way of educating you is a non-judgmental, helpful, let’s see what we can do to keep this going approach. I had one spot, before the crown came in that just continually I couldn’t quite keep it clean and that’s what eventually got that tooth but I knew that was in the future for me and when they do the measurements, you go, yeah that’s a four but really, you are doing the best you can so I mean it is a very supportive environment with helping you be proactive with your own teeth.

I like Northwest Dental because it’s friendly and the first time I came here they started a conversation and really made me feel at home. I think they are really interested in what you want to do with your smile and where you want to go with it. With my dental work, they really made sure it was exactly what I wanted, whether it was preventative or actual care for my teeth. I think they explain a lot of things, especially with their oral rinses. For Listerine they mentioned that you are looking for the three or four key ingredients that are on the back of the Listerine whereas all the other products don’t have it. So providing information is really helpful.

Kasey Merrissey Read Transcript

They make me comfortable by telling me what’s going to happen. Since I’ve kind of got used to it I’m not uncomfortable but today something different happened so I was a little scared but I got over it. It’s pretty fun and it tickles a lot too.

Jade Gehrking Read Transcript

I work two jobs right now and I’m always looking for that time to slide in and get a slot kind of deal so they accommodate me with that. In the past, I haven’t been a huge floss proponent I guess you would say just for the fact that it takes time and it doesn’t feel very comfortable but they definitely showed me the importance of flossing. As being a busy person and you always try to put off going to the dentist and what not, this is the place to go just for the fact that you can come in any time, they are very friendly and they do a great job.

Bill Taylor Read Transcript

When I came to Minnesota back in 1962, my teeth weren’t in too good a shape. I had fallen out of a cherry tree and busted my two front teeth, the corners were gone, and back in those days they just kind of added a little gold in the corners and that wasn’t very nice looking. If there was anything that needed to be done in my front teeth, that was what they recommended and I always went along with them and it always turned out good. If you are having a problem that is causing you a lot of pain or discomfort, they really work hard at getting you in right away. That itself is an important thing because if you have a toothache, you don’t like to wait around two or three days.

Anita Smith Read Transcript

Dr. Sperling is a very personable young man. He is very, very efficient yet he has time to ask you how you are and what’s new and he also is accommodating because he is able to look and see what I need and to tell me in advance so financially I am prepared for things like that. I had to have my front three teeth ground down and then they made caps for them because I had fallen a couple of times and they were chipped and they were discolored so what they did was give me the temporaries until the caps were made and they look wonderful. I think Dr. Sperling was pleased with what the lab did too.

Dr. Post and Lindsay are the best!! Dr. Post always explains everything and makes it easy to understand. She is also very personable. Lindsay is very easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable. They both care about their patients and I even wish I needed more work just so I could see them....

Dr. Post and staff was awesome with my two children. When my oldest needed some fillings, they worked with us and got us right in to have that taken care of. They were very pleasant and my 7yr old felt nice and relaxed. Thanks for all you did!!!
