    Just because of my insurance I was treated very horribly poorly. I wasn't treated like a human being I was treated like trash. I went in in agony and left hurt an still in pain. I was told I did in fact have an infection but didn't get antibiotics was told it wasn't a full on absesed tooth so no meds. She looked at me like I was beneath her same with receptionist I was spoken to like I was an annoyance, the dentist was in my "room" for literally one minute wasn't told how to control my pain just to get into a dentist to take care of my tooth problem.....isnt that why I went there? I left feeling belittled and unimportant to each and every staff member. I advise you visit another dentist cuz they don't help or treat you fairly. I can't eat, sleep or open my jaw but was sent away cuz of my insurance

    Been going to this clinic for roughly 10 years. Dr. Taylor H. Is fairly new, and so far, I would say he, Hands down, is one of the most polite and positive person; he is always so happy aunt excited to see his patients to get them feeling better. He’s thorough in his work as well as the rest of his team. He always takes time to listen and chat with his patients before getting started. I am thankful to have him as a dentist.

    Everything was great as usual! We drive almost an hour to go to Ascent Family Dentistry and it is so incredibly worth it! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming. The whole Ascent team is so good at making my kids (ages 4 & 7) feel comfortable and explaining everything they are doing during their appointments. The whole staff and Dr. Heinlein are nothing short of amazing!! Highly recommend!

    Friendly and caring staff. Been going there for over 30 years. Dr Heinlein is continuing the excellent service we’ve grown accustomed to.

  • 5/5 amanda c. 3 years ago on Google
    Dr. Heinlein and his team are amazing and make going to the dentist a pleasant experience!

  • 5/5 MyLeah B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best dentist office one could ask for. As a person who has some nerves before going to the dentist, I would not go anywhere else. Both dentist and staff are top notch and I am actually getting over some of my long-standing dentist anxiety as a result. 👍👍

  • 5/5 Joyce P. 7 months ago on Google
    Dr. Heinlein and hygienist Kate are both great! I appreciate their kindness, compassion, and knowledge. Highly recommend Ascent Family Dentistry!

  • 5/5 ROSEMARY H. 1 year ago on Google
    I always enjoy my visit with Gina. And Doctors Todd and Taylor, too. And today June 28th was also special. Gina, Becky , Dr Taylor and soon to be Dr Elvis made me feel special. Thank you all.

  • 5/5 Sylvia S. 1 year ago on Google
    My rating would easily be 10*'s for a thoroughly pleasant experience. Everyone is always so friendly. It just makes my day.

  • 5/5 Emily G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ascent Family Dentistry is amazing! I have struggled to find a dentist I feel comfortable with and trust. Dr. Heinlein made me feel comfortable and explained the dental issues I was having in detail, he even offered to show me what he was explaining. He is very personable and listened to my concerns - he approached my dental care with a positive tone and made me feel hopeful my dental health can be improved. Kate was also amazing. She was very personable and made me feel comfortable during my cleaning. She also was very knowledgeable and helped me understand how to better care for my teeth. She did not shame me for my dental issues, but instead offered solutions and even comfort regarding my teeth. I could not recommend Ascent Family Dentistry more!

    This is the best Dentist I have ever gone to... The staff is wonderful, fun, and very friendly - the Dentist even more so. I love the music playing during procedures but sometimes find it hard to not sing when hands are in my mouth :) I am impressed with the amount of work they do themselves as you usually get a referral to get other things done (which sucks). Not here .. they have new technology and know how to use it well. More so, getting me in so fast to help fix my front teeth for my daughters wedding - priceless!

  • 5/5 Joey T. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been going to Ascent for basically my entire life (I’m 42) and they are the best! Love the friendliness and the fact that they know everything about our family and love to learn more. Such good energy!

  • 5/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best dentist experience I've had in the Twin Cities metro. Super friendly staff, quick and effective cleanings, and great recommendations for oral surgeons. This team absolutely rocks🤩

  • 5/5 leanne l. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the dentist here. They have never made me wait for more than a couple minutes if at all. Everyone is pleasant and kind and I never feel any pain. It's great because i always dreaded through dentist and I don't anymore!

  • 5/5 Kathy H. 10 months ago on Google
    This clinic is fantastic. I have been going there for a number of years and it has been the same kind, helpful staff the whole time. Dr Heinlein is thoughtful, explains things well and gentle.

  • 5/5 Danielle T. 6 months ago on Google
    I’ve been going to Ascent for years. I love the staff! Everyone is so nice, and gentle, and make going to the dentist just another thing on my to do list - rather than something scary and dreadful! I can’t think of a better team to make sure I keep my teeth! One suggestion though, maybe offer heated blankets😉

  • 5/5 Astraea E. 6 years ago on Google
    Dr. Simonson is the best dentist I've seen. Kind and gentle :) Plus they are efficient and I'm in and out before I know it!

    Wasn't notified of my apt being cancelled till i showed up at 7am. was told that the hygienist called in midnight the night before. why wasn't i told the night before or the morning of? i have plenty of other choices for getting my dental needs done. so disappointed . for the record Julie my hygienist was always awesome.

  • 5/5 Rachel H. 7 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Ascent Family Dentistry for practically my whole life. I have nothing, but great things to say about them. The staff is very friendly, it is easy to get in, they offer lots of options to help make me feel comfortable during my appointments. I love that they know me and my family no matter how long it's been since I was last in. Great work to all of you for keeping up the family feel in your business!!!!!

  • 5/5 The Schi pronounced as s. 5 years ago on Google
    Just came from an appointment there and hands down the best dentistry Ive ever been. Great family feel. Comfy chairs. Wonderful, professional and friendly staff. The Dentist was absolutely amazing and made the experience the best ever in the world. Going back in march to start a better orthadontal care plan and get cavities taken care of...Ive never been more excited to see the dentist. Definetly reccomend! 5🌟

  • 5/5 Jennifer W. 8 years ago on Google
    Gina is my hygienist and is incredible. She also has TMJ so she works with me in managing the amount I have to open my mouth and ways to help it. She also worked at an oral surgeon so she is very well versed. Dr. Johnson and his staff do great work! We drive about 45 minutes to see them.

  • 5/5 Paul S. 5 years ago on Google
    Been going here for 15+ years. Have always been great. Love seeing Kate, she does a fantastic job on my cleanings

  • 5/5 mary b. 6 years ago on Google
    This has been my one and only dentist office for many years. Everyone is very friendly. They are honest about care that is needed or may be needed in the future. I will continue going for as long as I can!

  • 5/5 MR C. 6 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and compassionate staff. I have been going to Ascent Denistry for many years, they have always treated me like family and taken care of my dental needs in a timely fashion.

  • 5/5 Vicki H. 6 years ago on Google
    I have been going to this same dental practice since before it became Ascent Dentristy. Going on 60 years now. Have been seeing Dr. Johnson since he took over and have nothing but good things to say about not only him but his whole staff. If there's something wrong they fix it. If there are questions, they answer them. I even drive from Minnetonka to Columbia Heights to see them and that's saying something! Keep up the good work you guys and I'll see you in October.

  • 5/5 Barb B. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Hayley R. 7 years ago on Google
    No one really *likes* going to the dentist, but since we need to, Ascent is about as good as it gets. All of the staff is friendly and competent. Julie (dental hygienist) is awesome and efficient, and both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Simonson are great too.

  • 5/5 jim l. 7 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Ascent Dentistry more than 15 years and have found the staff to be helpful, knowledgeable and concern for my overall health, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional Dentistry staff.

  • 5/5 David. R. 7 years ago on Google
    I had a checkup on 9/8/16 and was served well . The dental hygienist Kate clean my teeth and did a great job. Also Dr. Johnson checked my teeth. I have been with them for a number of years and have been satisfied with there work.

  • 5/5 Nate K. 7 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, the workers appear to actually enjoy themselves which shows the type of office Ascent Family Dentistry has, and its in a great location for our family. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are looking for a solid local dental office in the cities.

    Taylor is the best dentist I have ever had. He has taken care of me fairly, honestly, and does a great job. I also appreciate how his team is very accommodating to work with your schedule…not theirs. Can’t recommend enough!
