I've been going to this dental clinic for over 20 years and never had dental insurance. The office would give discounts to people with out insurance but no more. So disappointed and makes it even harder for working people to get good care. Wonderful dental assistants and Dr DeMarco has been so helpful on all my questions and dental needs. I only have wonderful things to say about this clinic besides this new policy.

Very nice, professional and friendly. Works with us on our scheduling. Gives us a call if we are waiting for cancellation for earlier times. Very thorough with our cleanings. Makes you feel comfortable. I appreciate how clean the whole office is.

Tina, my hygienist was great, and Dr. Gleichman was great as always. Dr. Gleichman and Dental Associates has been the only dentist I’ve had for 40 years, and I’m happy to see Dr. Gleichman get to retire, but sad to see him go, and for me to have to get a new dentist. I do plan to continue with Dental Associates though.

I’ve been going to Dr. Gleichman at Dental Associates for over 15 years now. He and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable and up to date on new techniques. They are very good at explaining everything in terms anyone can understand they are all very polite and caring. I’d recommend highly.

Maggie

I've been going to Dental Associates for decades. Love my hygienist. She is so skilled at cleaning my teeth. My dentist is thorough and friendly. Great place to go to take care of your dental needs.

Bud Price

We moved to Des Moines last year and our son recommended Dr. Quick. We are so glad he did? At 73, I needed extensive work. The procedures were painless, and the costs more than fair. We love the staff, especially Dr. Quick 😁

Michelle Huenecke

Always a great experience, I have been going here for 10 plus years and my experience with the whole staff has always been extraordinary! Great place for your dental health.

David James

Nikki did a 10 out of 10 as always. I make a point to share with her that she is good at what she does and makes me feel comfortable as a patient.

Beth Damm

I look forward to my visits at Dental Associates. Friendly, professional and personal service. They take all of the extra precautions to keep their staff and patients safe and well.

David McVicker

I called for an emergency appt this morning due to a broken tooth and was gotten in promptly. Professional and friendly dental care as always. I really like this team. I would add that masks are required and the patient is responsible for bringing their own which is how it should be in my opinion.

Judy Prunty

I had a very good checkup with Dr. Quick. His hygienist was very good and gentle. Dr. Quick was very thorough as always. Great dentist!
