Coleman and Dastrup Dentistry Elevated

At 82, I have been to many dentists in my lifetime. Given that experience, I am happy to say unequivocally that Dr. Coleman and his staff have provided me with the finest dental services that I could possibly desire. Dr. Coleman continues to be at the very top of his profession. While some other dentists take the minimum courses to maintain their license to practice dentistry, Dr. Coleman makes a point of taking as many courses as possible to stay informed regarding the latest procedures and practices of his profession. I consider myself very fortunate to have found such a dedicated and skilled practitioner of dentistry. Everyone on his staff are both pleasant and highly skilled in their chosen field as well. Highest grades to all!

My family and I were patients of Dr. Coleman for nearly 20 years, starting from when he was fairly new in practice. For many years we were very happy with the care. Unfortunately, about 10 years ago, the office seemed to shift toward a more sales-focused environment. It felt as though the staff had been trained to upsell services and products, and I began feeling hesitant even about routine cleanings because almost every visit came with a pitch for something extra. In fact, once your cleaning is done, you’re taken into an office where the sales pitch begins. For example, my oldest son went in for a simple cleaning and left with over $200 in products he didn’t need—at a time when he didn’t have much money. It didn’t feel like patient care anymore; it felt like sales pressure. The final straw for me was being told during a cleaning that two of my crowns needed to be replaced, at a cost of about $2,000 out of pocket. Wanting to be sure, I visited two other dentists for second opinions. Both told me the crowns did not need to be replaced and recommended an approach that I had previously asked Dr. Coleman about but had been told would not work. After that, we decided it was best for our family to move on. When I called to have our records transferred, no one asked why we were leaving after 20 years as patients. That in itself reinforced my sense that patient care was no longer the priority. A dentist’s office shouldn’t feel like a sales room. We are very happy with our new dentist and the patient-centered care we receive there. I truly wish the best for Dr. Coleman and his staff, and I hope the practice can refocus on patient needs rather than revenue.

I am an adult & had a frenectomy/frenuloplasty here in December. I was definitely a bit anxious, but the staff were very comforting & did a great job. I highly recommend working with a myofunctional therapist before & after & not just trying to do some random exercises you found online (as they will also recommend & can give some referrals). Worth the time & money. My downtime after the procedure was MUCH better than I thought it would be (that was my biggest fear). I also appreciated that my procedure was done as incision w/ dissolvable sutures rather than a laser.

What a stellar experience! I am a new patient. I was made to feel welcome, valued, and genuinely cared for. Honestly, I was taken aback over and over again because I have never been in a dentist’s office like this one. Dr Coleman and hygienist Megan asked questions, cared about me, and were gentle, kind, confident and super competent. It was such an elevated experience I still can’t quite get my head around it!

Highly recommend. I absolutely hate the dentist and avoided going for years. This place has made me feel very comfortable and done amazing work. I have had extensive work done here and multi hour appointments. They have prioritized my needs at every appointment and made me feel as comfortable as possible. The entire staff is so nice, helpful and understanding. I never thought I would be able to comfortably go through a dentist appointment let alone extensive work so a huge thank you to Dr. Dastrup and his team.
