University Ave Dental

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Ryan Lembke is a hoot. He has a very good dental chair side manner. He explains everything he is doing, explains different options of care( letting the patient choose what is best for them), makes you feel very comfortable and he does not belittle you about needing dental care. I was a little hesitant about Dr. Blakeslee retiring but I give Dr. Ryan Lembke my approval and would recommend him to be your dentist. Don't hesitate give him a try.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at University Dental was very positive. Rachel, was very friendly & also very professional! Dr. L. was also great. I am very pleased with my visits to University Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: I have always had a good experience .here. The staff are nice and friendly. They do a great job.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a very positive experience at the clinic. Dr. Logan Connor was very professional and kind, and I felt in good hands throughout the process.

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed seeing you. Very nice hygienist also.

Experiencia fantástica: The team there was extremely nice and made the experience not scary.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff and excellent care.

Experiencia fantástica: Convenient hours and friendly staff. They are gentle and offers good advise.

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give more than five stars I would.Ryan Lembke kept me calm and relax and help me through everything. The first time I went there he was extremely helpful and calming and relaxing but my anxiety got the best of me and I threw up. When I came back it all changed I got calming medicine to help with the procedure. I got the procedure yesterday morning and today I'm feeling so much better. I definitely will be coming back for routine check-ups.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an infection in my gum line over mothers day weekend. University Ave Dental was able to get me in Monday morning after calling several different emergency dental offices with no availability to help me. I seen Dr Logan & he was incredible! He had so much empathy & understanding. He seemed truly concerned & motivated to help. I felt no judgement at all. The front desk receptionist was upfront about costs before I was seen which helped lessen my worries. I got the infection flushed & a referral for my wisdom teeth to be removed. All within such a timely matter. The only issue I had was one dental hygienist seemed impatient with my pain during x-rays, but even with that considered, I would HIGHLY recommend University Ave Dental! I have so much anxiety & fear when it comes to dental visits but I can say with 100% certainty I will not be nervous or fearful next time I have an appointment here solely based off of the care & understanding I received.

Experiencia fantástica: I called before coming in. Natalie answered, and she was very helpful and kind. I had a few questions to ask beforehand, as it was my first time there. I came in a few days later. Sara was at the reception desk. She was also very kind and welcoming. I was promptly attended to, my appointment went smoothly and the dentist was friendly, clear, and comforting. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of a dentist. Thankyou, to Ryan and all staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care by a great team!

Experiencia fantástica: I really liked my hygienist, she gave me great advice, listened and answered any questions I had. I've been going here for over 20 years and drive 20 min to be seen. Love it here!

Experiencia fantástica: I finally feel like I was heard and options explained

Experiencia positiva: I enjoyed! It would be nice to have the same one.

Experiencia fantástica: Was looking for someplace nearby but truly am glad I found this place. Everyone was very kind, and talkative. They explained things well and gave plenty of opportunity for questions and what-ifs. Came up with a game plan and walked me through every step. They also asked about my comfort beforehand in case dentists made me uncomfortable for any reason. And no judgement-everyone was VERY kind.

Experiencia fantástica: Quick and easy checkup. Dentist and Hygienist were great.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent staff and great experience!! I appreciate the advice to get a water pick!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great dentist, great hygienist, friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a patient of Dr. Ryan Lembke. He has treated me for the last two years. I saw him for an infection in my mouth that ended up with removal of teeth and a bridge. He is an excellent Dentist and I highly recommend him and University Dental in Blaine.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was great! Had full xrays, cleaning, and exam. I will definitely be back

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, make you feel like family.

Experiencia fantástica: I was basically almost dying of the tooth ache and folks here got me in super quickly and took good care of me m. Very thankful to Peggy, Sarah and Dr. Connor

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Connor was excellent and very thorough with the exam and explaining the next steps of care, etc. His assistants, Rachel and Peggy were excellent, as well... very patient, kind and thorough. Last, but not least... the office staff were excellent, as well. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience this morning was like no other. My care team is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for everything this morning and all the treatment going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice front desk staff and transparency about care.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lembke today. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lembke thoroughly addressed my concern and presented options for me. Will be back for my hygiene cleaning!

Experiencia fantástica: I had my initial consultation with them and I was very impressed. The staff was wonderful, the Dentist i spoke with was very knowledgeable and sincere in his evaluation of my situation. The place has a nice "homey" feel to it. Would definitely recommend!!!

Experiencia negativa: I went in for a cleaning and was given an exam. They didn't say anything about doing just an exam and not a cleaning, when I scheduled the appointment. Waste of time and money.

Experiencia negativa: I had called ahead gave my insurance info was told that they took my insurance and id have a small co-pay ! So this is a total spilt issue dentest was great pulled 4 teeth in no time did his job excellent went beyound what id exspect awsome ! Now as I left thinking a small co- pay i was hit with a 1000 dollar co-pay that's not small my insurance paid like 258 and wow so walking out the door work already done with no idea that id have a huge bill I agreed to a payment plan made primary payment that day 2nd a week or so later 3 payment they missed the date I set for them 3and 4 payment paid of the 4th month 28 day passed 3 scheduled pay date mean while they were trying to run it through my bank daily and had there collection company calling me sending me letters emails plan harassment for this bill I was not expecting considering I was told they took my insurance and a small co-pay im still not late per statue and they've started collections on me after I emailed them letting them know that informed concent means to give all prudent info including info about insurance and that 1000 dollars is not a small co-pay for someone on disability and that i was going to hold off on paying them untel we could renegotiate this bill they dropped me as a patient canceled the payment plan and turned it over to collections ! If only the staff was half as professional that place would be very profitable if they actually took my insurance id go back in a hart beat but sence they didn't tell me anything I should have known about them taking my insurance and that a small co-pay starts at around 800 dollars i wouldn't go back due to affordability mean while the infection that needs treated is getting worse and spreading as I cant afford a dentest at this rate or maybe stead of bitching about your job girls try doing it !

Experiencia fantástica: Starting with Sara who is the absolute epitome of the practice: kind, knowledgeable, and so sorry helpful and Debbie who assisted me in being relaxed and letting me know I mattered and so diligent in getting me into emergency oral surgery I am so grateful and Dr Connor for being such a gentle and kind professional giving me hope that oral health is now in my future. Thank you all for taking such good care of me when I seem not able to do it for myself at times.

Experiencia fantástica: My dentist was very gentle and precise I enjoyed the experience………. I didn’t actually say that, it was a canned message, but I totally agree

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Will definitely be using them for all of my dental work going forward!

Experiencia fantástica: 5/23/25 First time with Michelle, she did my cleaning today. She is wonderful. Took her time and took care of my teeth. Upbeat and polite. If only I can choose her all the time :) First time with Dr Connor, I was concerned about my tooth that was done poorly at another dental office over a decade ago.

I was sad when Dr. Blakeslee retired as I am a nervous patient and he always made me feel comfortable, and he will be missed. But I can not say enough about how good the new dentists and staff are! Super friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. This office has to be one of the best Dentist offices in the state.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m very happy with the dentist and hygienist at University Ave Dental. They are considerate of my needs and fears. Dr Lembke took a great deal of time explaining my dental care and was interested in knowing my thoughts on how to proceed.. The front office staff is friendly and helpful. I’ll continue on with them.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice job preparing my tooth for a crown today Dr. Blakeslee! The entire experience was about as pleasant as it can get for a visit to the dentist ;)

Experiencia fantástica: I was worried about going now since Blakeslee was gone..But my hygienist was awesome and I did like Dr.Ryan..very pleased

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough good things about University Ave Dental. I was so nervous about dental procedures, but they made my experience incredibly positive. Their professionalism and efficiency were top-notch. I had a deep clean, root canal, and crown, all in one day, the process was smooth, and the results were amazing. I was able to eat my Thanksgiving dinner without any pain or discomfort. I'm so grateful for their exceptional

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Ryan and Peggy are the best!! Ryan explains everything before he does any work and they both are so caring. They make you feel very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best dental office I’ve been to throughout my lifetime, the staff there are extremely knowledgeable and super friendly, the hygienist and dentist are amazing! Highly recommend to you try this place. Ask for Stephanie, she’ll take care of you.

Experiencia negativa: Went here once and that was more than enough. I've never been to a dental office more confused than this office. They refereed me to their sister office and no one had any idea what I was there for. They took the wrong scan, plus never sent the scan to be reviewed, never put together a treatment plan for my insurance, than billed my insurance without a dentist name so it was paid as out of network. After almost 3 weeks of back and forth I found a new dentist. Submitted my release form, and they said my scan never saved!! Lol Run from this place!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff!! Quality dental care and they treat me like I'm royalty. Dentist clearly explains everything and so does the dental hygienists. They take the necessary time to make sure I'm nice and healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Tooth ache, got me in right away. Staff is very kind

Experiencia fantástica: I had not been to the dentist in many years due to a terrible experience at a previous dentist. I had received a University Dental flyer in the mail and their picture felt inviting and warm. I made the appointment! I AM SO IMPRESSED with them!!! I have been treated with kindness, respect, and absolutely no pain or shame for my not perfect teeth. I will tell anyone looking for a dental clinic to call University Dental Clinic. They really are that warm and friendly:)

Experiencia fantástica: Always cheerful staff who take time to not just clean and care for your teeth, but advise you on ways to improve your dental health.

Experiencia fantástica: Great care, great atmosphere and customer service! My daughter is nervous when it comes to the dentist and they are super reassuring and patient with her. I highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is so welcoming. Caitlin is a great hygienist and Dr. Blakeslee is a great dentist. If you're a person who is uncomfortable going to a dentist, University Ave Dental is the office you should go to. Love their newsletter they send out.

Experiencia fantástica: I was greeted with friendly faces and smiles. Everybody was so nice and helpful. The experience with the dentist was absolutely amazing and I made this my primary dentist office. Thank all of you for making my day easy and pain free.

Experiencia fantástica: I had some fillings and a crown done at University Ave. Dental recently and was extremely happy with the whole process. I have been to many dentists and dental clinics in the twin cities over the years and I can say the personnel and the dentists are exceptional. Dr Brendan Reich is one of the best in my opinion. He took time to alleviate my fears and answered all my questions with patience. He did an excellent job with my fillings and crown, exhibiting great skill and professionalism. I think he is great at what he does.I am extremely happy with the results. I am also impressed with the competent way the Insurance and fees were handled by Morgan who is the office manager, so I was not left to figure things on my own. Stephanie at the front desk and Valentyna the dental assistant are very nice and greet you warmly and make one feel comfortable and informed. What can I say, I had one of the best experiences and thus was compelled to write this review. The same day crowns and the attention to quality, aesthetics, Dr Reich’s expertise is superb!

Experiencia fantástica: I had terrible dentist anxiety for years but neve here. Dr. Reich is so nice, friendly and professional. The dental assistants are great and friendly as well. Definitely recommend especially if you suffer from dental anxiety

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a new patient and new to the state. Excellent service from everyone; from the reception to the doctor. Both hygienist and dentist took the time to explain everything. I felt at ease; it was very easy to trust this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Blakeslee put in a crown for me today. During the procedure, he kept up a running narrative about what he was doing and about to do, putting me at ease. He's also a good stick with needle. I like University Ave Dental. If your on the fence about a Dental clinic, University Ave Dental won't disappoint.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm so greatful for Dr Blakeslee he's helped me so much for many years.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is just great. No one likes going to the dentist but they make it as easy as they can. They're very nice people and they really care about your dental health! I've been going here for about 6 years and I'm really glad my friend told me about them.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing, kind and friendly staff here!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist I've ever been to. Blakeslee has been my dentist since I was 3 or 4, now 41. Wouldn't recommend another dentist to to anyone. Great service.

Experiencia fantástica: My first time at this dentist. I couldn't be happier with my visit and the service provided. The hygienist was super nice and very good at her job. The dentist was professional but super friendly. They both made the vist pleasurable, I will most definitely be back! (In 6 months since I was cavity free)
