Morgan Nordstrom, DDS

Ahhh… where to start?!? Let me begin by stating I am not a fan of social media websites. I have never left a review or even made a comment about any prior service EVER, including restaurants (good, bad or indifferent), purchasing a new car, bad dry cleaning experience, dog groomer gone wild, etc. Just doesn’t seem worth my time. So this is my first and likely only review – keep that in mind. I obviously have to feel pretty strongly about something to write a review, so here’s my story:
A terrible childhood experience with a truly horrific dentist left me with a lifetime of fear and anxiety of any and all dentists. Forty years worth of subsequent neglect resulted in compounded problems, lost teeth, pain, infections, etc. An occasional visit here and there to resolve immediate issues didn’t help matters much. Pain and anxiety always won out. Simply put, I would do anything to avoid going to… or even near… a dentist.
A true dental emergency on a Friday evening (horizontal fracture of a front tooth below the gum line – who knew olives have pits?) sent me on a new quest to find a dentist. I went the route of 1−800-DENTIST (no insurance – no help!), Western Dental (ditto!), dialing through the on-​line Yellow Pages (dittoX25!) left me with no dentist and in increasing pain. I finally found a clinic that would take me on an emergency basis for a quick, TEMPORARY fix… one that would get me over the weekend but in need of a more permanent resolution. I asked for a referral and voila… Dr. Morgan Nordstrom. Finally – a compassionate, gentle, professional and kind individual who understands how to treat a patient with severe dental anxiety. I have three words that describe her:
Awesome…AWESOME…and you guessed it… AWESOME!
Over the course of two weeks I have had four teeth extractions (truly painless… unbelievable!), a deep cleaning (with anesthesia – again, painless!), some miscellaneous tooth repairs and a new dental device that allows me to smile for the first time in years. She approached each problem individually, fully explained the options, answered my (numerous!) questions, decided upon a treatment plan that would not break the bank and scheduled the visits around MY work. Perhaps most importantly, her office and treatment options are state-​of-​the-​art. She is a very talented professional who is passionate about her work. For the first time ever, I feel completely at ease and totally trust her professional judgement. I state this with complete confidence: YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER DENTIST ANYWHERE, PERIOD. Her front office staff and dental assistants are equally good – true professionals who make an otherwise unpleasant experience fun and enjoyable.
If you are in need of dental care… particularly if you have fear, anxiety… or heck, just need a routine check-​up, call her office and schedule a visit. You will not be disappointed.
