I had four surgeries this year (2024). All went very smoothly, painlessly, and successfully. Dr. Kurt and his staff are fantastic and go to great lengths to make the patient feel comfortable and knowledgable. I highly recommend this dental practice. They are awesome
Very friendly and professional staff, talented hygienists, and excellent periodontist. Hanna who was filling in for my regular hygienist was friendly, professional and thorough. I've "never" had a bad experience at Dr. Van Winkles practice, and would not hesitate referring family, or friends.
I had an outstanding experience at Dr. VanWinkle's Office. I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff, who were both professional and welcoming. I greatly appreciate Dr, VanWinkle and his team for their exceptional attention to detail and gentle approach, which truly reflect their commitment to patient care.
My hygienist was very thorough in my cleaning and explained areas to work on and also gave positive feedback. Friendly and made me feel comfortable during the cleaning.
David is great! I didn't have the best day with my first major oral surgery as an adult and his team was very thorough and made me very comfortable for it from the 1st consult to my questions and day of. Thanks!
Staff very professional and personable. With Dr. Van Winkle pulled together a reasonable and workable treatment plan to deal with the teeth involved. I left with a a portfolio and plan of care. Hoping the intervention date of May, 2025 can be moved to an earlier date.
Dr. VanWinkle, Tracy and team are wonderful folks. I always feel my concerns are heard and addressed with care and professional treatment. Thanks to all!
July 2024:
I am very happy with the care I've received at Dr. Van Winkle's office, from the initial consultation through the procedure itself.
Dr. Van Winkle and his staff are skilled, friendly, and professional.
The procedure itself was, in my opinion, perfection and the follow-up care was everything you could ask for.
I have 100% confidence in Dr. Van Winkle and every member of his excellent team.

I had an infected molar that needed to be removed. I have had a great number of dental procedures in my life—impacted wisdom teeth and a large number of root canals (including some teeth that needed two treatments). As a result, I have experienced endodontists and oral surgeons in a number of different US cities. Dr. Van Winkle oversees a very busy practice and I completely understand why my dentist referred me to him. The environment of the office is simply reassuring as you see many treatment rooms in use. He has a very reassuring presence. A first rate experience.
I've been a patient of Dr. VanWinkle for many years. The wonderful customer service and dental care has remained very good!! I'm very thankful for the referral from Dr. Denise Flanagan and Dr. Lorie Brinson. Kind Regards, Danny O. Jones
I had an implant placed, and Dr. Van Winkle was so patient to make sure I was not in any pain and did an amazing job. It was a quick procedure, and not has bad as I thought considering I had been putting it off for 10 years because I was afraid. I am glad I finally did it and highly recommend coming here!
Also, everyone in the office was so kind and friendly! I really enjoyed being here and everyone who helped me- including the front desk receptionist who really sets the tone for the office in my opinion.

As always, I had a superb care at Dr. Van Winkle's office. The dental hygienist was very knowledgeable, she examined me thoroughly and provided me with best advice on how to take care of my teethes in order to avoid periodontal disease.
This was my first visit and was a referral from my dentist. The staff was extremely courteous with smiles all around, made me feel a little less uncomfortable (it's a periodontics appointment, after all!). I'm not good with names, but the dental assistant who took xrays was friendly and shared a lot about what she was doing and why. same with the hygienist who did the initial exam. Very knowledgeable and spoke in terms I could understand. Don't misunderstand me, the exam was a little uncomfortable, but not unnecessarily so. Dr. Van Winkle spent more time with me than I expected and explained several options for treatment. He was candid and shared what he would do in my position, but then suggested that I should probably take a more conservative approach (which seemed a little less scary at the time). He was thoughtful, thorough and completely professional. Everyone worked together to put me at ease. I left the office with a plan in place that I felt confident about.
Dr Van Winkle, Debbie and all of the ladies there are wonderful. I've had several procedures done in this office and I have never had a bad experience. While I do not enjoy going to the dentist, I do enjoy visiting Dr Van Winkle's office. He and his staff make it a great experience. They always have your best interests in mind and make you comfortable as possible.
