What our patients
are saying
Don't just take our word for it — hear from the families we serve.
"Came in for the first time for a dental check up and cleaning. The hygienist was extremely patient and knowledgeable and was the most detailed in checking my teeth among all the dental offices I've been to. The dentist who came in after was also very good and both had a good genuine discussion taking their time to get to know my dental history. All in all an excellent experience and would be coming back. Best dentist experience ever honestly!"
"I've been a patient here for over 6 years and have referred multiple people because I simply love them that much. From Milan at the front desk, to the hygienist who makes it feel like I'm catching up with a friend, to the thoughtful dentist who is responsive to all my needs — Ganger Family Dentistry has it all! Look no further."
"Delightful! This is the most personable and relaxing dental experience of my life. Thank you for your attentiveness and quick resolution to an emergency dental situation. Our daughter raved about the experience — a real endorsement coming from a child. We're relieved to have found our new family dentist. Highly recommended for any family."
"Dr. Ganger is always so knowledgeable and very down to earth. Similarly the support staff is top tier — they are also great at communicating via text. I love the location because it's so close to the I-55 Damen exit and has free street parking! Highly recommend this dental office."
"Very first time having a crown put on and the unknown fear dissipated under Dr. Ganger's great work. She was concerned about my well-being, asking if I was okay — she's awesome! And so is the staff! Would recommend if you're looking for great dental care with a great dentist."
"The staff is very friendly and professional. Pam makes going to the dentist almost a pleasant experience. She is very thorough and communicates everything she will be doing beforehand so the patient is aware of what and why. She displays a great amount of pride in what she does and care for the patient. She does an excellent job."
