Shelly Fritz, DDS

If I ever meet anyone who likes to go to the dentist, I’ll know I’m lost in a real-​life version of Little Shop of Horrors. In the mean time, I will find one I like enough not to avoid it, and that should be good enough.
Dr. Fritz herself is a kind, patient woman. I felt very comfortable with her right away. She was very thorough and more importantly, she explained everything to me as she was going, and let me make my own decisions on what to do with what problems existed. I have a bad tooth, apparently I cracked it at some point and it needed fixing. Upon hearing that I am in school, she offered me the option to replace it with a crown or try a filling first — the cheaper option by far. The choice was much appreciated.
They took pictures of my tooth (x-​rays, too, but they took actual pictures of the surface) and showed me the problems and how they planned to fix them. That was not only pretty cool, but also very helpful. No mystery here, which is a very good thing when you’re flat on your back with your mouth wide open.
I went back for the filling and they were lightning fast — I was in and out within 30 minutes. Awesome!
The staff there are all very nice. The front desk folks are extremely friendly and helpful, and the dental tech was also lovely. We had a nice conversation while she took my x-​rays and got things ready for the dentist.
The first room I was in had a huge window and a pretty view of bids eating from a feeder they have outside. The second one had no windows, but vibrant pictures in the ceiling, a nice touch.
The offices are comfy and open, lots of wood and doorless rooms. Doesn’t leave you with that ‘I’m all alone in a tiny office awaiting my fate” kind of feeling you can get at a doctor or dentist.
I haven’t been more than a few times, but I really like this dentist office, and I will continue to go there when I need a dentist — I bet you would like them, too!
