The office

Redone, and easier to walk into.

New exterior and interior at 2037 Winnebago St #1. Parking is behind the building. The entrance is ramped. If stairs are still a problem, call (608) 249-6616 before you come — the team would rather solve that on the phone than at the door.

How the room feels

Patients who write about the visit describe Dr. Rick as straightforward, kind with people who are nervous, and clear about what a tooth actually needs. Headphones are welcome. Humor is part of the appointment, not a script on the wall.

One public review counts 56 years as a patient, and a mother who still comes in. Another came back after two decades away.
