Shamblawesome!
Everyone is so kind and helpful in the office. I had to go in for an emergency and they got me in quickly even though they were booked, took care of everything quickly and made me comfortable. I am a 'dentalphobe', so no trip to the dentist is perfect, but this was darn close!

Kathy
Kathy I believe was her name, was amazing; she made me feel comfortable and at home, she talked to me as well as listened, instead of just digging around in my mouth and scoulding me about my poor dental hygiene. All in all 5 stars just for her. My last visit contrasted completely, whoever i had was new and not to be blamed completely but i could tell she was timid.  Not comfortable. But Kathy was great.....

Impressed
My visit was great everyone was happy very nice. They were interested in what I wanted done.They gave me a total itemized bill of what everything was going to cost, and many different options on how to pay. I don't have insurance and that wasn't a problem. I thought the prices were fair.

First rate dentistry
Spot on, professional and friendly service that combines the latest dental technology with a team that knows what it is doing. I was kept comfortable, and informed, throughout the entire visit. I used to dread going to the dentist, but now it is just an appointment on the books.

Thank You For The Great Service
The staff was great and extremely nice. I was pleasantly surprised that the cost of getting a Broken tooth removed without insurance isn't to badly priced. I hope to be able to continue to visit you in the future.

A great first visit !

Fast, friendly, competent  
No wait in either the waiting room or the exam room. The hygenist was very good at cleaning my teeth, and she was also chatty in a natural, comfortable way. The dentist (Scott) came in straightway after the cleaning and was likewise quite nice and put me at ease during the checkup. Absolutely no complaints; I'll be back in 6 months.
AM



Excellent  
I can't tell you how impressed I am with Dr. de Llano. Today she found a crack in my tooth that had been bothering me for a long time. Because of her attention to detail is why she found it. I have no doubt that 8 out of 10 other dentists would have missed it. I also like that she has never once tried to sell me something. Always professional and cares. I will be a client for life and will look for opportunities to refer other people to her.

Great initial visit
I was able to book my first appointment within two days of my initial call. The hygienist was excellent and my consult with Dr. Shamblott was informative and personal. Thanks.

Cavity fillings and assessing condition of tooth
Dr. Shamblott did an excellent job of treating the cavities but was also very proactive in identifying a problem with one of my teeth before it manifested itself. He did a great job of clearly explaining the condition and the treatment options. He and his team are top notch and I highly recommend his practice to anyone who is seeking dentistry services.

Positive experience, will recommend to others. X-ray tech went above and beyond and Dr. Took time to explain my plan. Would recommend someone contemplating change to consider this practice.

Anxious dentist-go-er
I'm normally anxious when going to the dentist, but the welcoming receptionist was just the start of a great experience. The dental hygenist was a good conversationalist, so at least I wasn't focused on the fact that I was about to have my teeth ground on for a cleaning. She was also very sensitive to the fact that I was anxious. Dr. Shamblott helped me to understand my care plan, even the silliest of questions he was willing to answer. The hygenist was also very knowledgeable. I'd say, all staff you can trust! I haven't had any actual dental work (just had x-rays and cleaning) yet, but I'm sure it will be as pleasent of an experience as possible at the dentist office.

Unexpected Experience
I was very nervous before my appointment. Everyone at Shamblott made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I had extensive work done and the next day I didn't feel like I had been to the dentist!! This is a FIRST in all my years of going to the dentist.

Best dental experience I've ever had. Won't go anywhere else from now on.

5 stars
All of my experiences with Shamblott have been incredibly positive. Visiting the dentist is practically number one onmy list of "Least Favorite Things to Do"; however, the staff is fantastic and the treatments are tailored to the individual. I would recommend Shamblott toanyone who is terrified of a trip to the dentist!

Painless Extraction
After fretting for a long time about getting my wisdom teeth extracted I found there was no need after my visit was complete. Between the friendliness of the staff and the wonderful distraction the movie made I was in and out so fast with no discomfort that it could have reversed years of unnecessary fears about dentists

COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!
I am 53 and have let my teeth go for years. I have had bad experiences in the past and resist treatment when I am shamed or inconvenienced. From the very beginning I was treated with respect. The treatment plan was detailed and convenient. At no time was there a hint of shame. Never did I hear "you should floss" or "you should really respect your teeth". Because of the treatment I am actually in a place to protect and respect my teeth and I probably will floss.

CK


Great Visit!!
Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience; however, it took a little longer than I expected. It's difficult to stay in the chair for almost three hours but I was surprised about how much time had passed. Thank You!!

AS


First visit fantastic!
From the moment I walked in the door of Shamblott Family Dentistry I felt welcomed and valued. Everyone was so friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. To be honest, I was "shopping" for a new dental practice and now I know that I will look no further for family's dental needs! We have found a home in Shamblott Family Dentistry. Thanks to everyone who made my first visit the best!

KK


Great as always!
Shamblott's has always been a good experience for me...even after getting cavities filled! Every employee has been nice and accomodating through the whole appointment. I will definitely be back! Anonymous

Great start
I went to my first dental exam and not only was surprised that the exam and multiple x-rays were free, but appreciated the time taken by Dr. Shamblott and staff in evaluating my situation. I didn't feel rushed. All my questions were answered and I was told in advance what would happen next during the appointment.

Impressive
I was very impressed by everything from the friendly receptionist, to the xray technology/photos, to the explanation of the work that needs to be completed.

Excellent
I have been coming to this practice since before it was owned by Dr. Shamblott (about 10 years now). I have been very impressed with how the practice has managed to grow, but still keep its personality. I also very much appreciate that the office keeps up with the technological environment. At one point, I switched dentist because you were no longer in my "plan". After one visit to another dental facility, I came back to Shamblott and just paid out-of-pocket until I was again covered by insurance. I think that says it all. Good work!

BM


This was as relaxing as possible for a dentist office.

RK


EXCELLENT !!!!!
I am always impressed by the high quality of the staffs medical and insurance knowledge. My appointments are easy to make, the new email notification and confirmation is great. I love the broad range of appointment times.

Great
It was so worth the drive from Woodbury to Hopkins to meet with Dr. Shamblott today. He and his staff were so careful, kind and knowledgeable as they helped me make decisions about the health of my teeth. I never felt shamed or worried...this is a plus in my book!

All the staff is so wonderful. The hygienist was so professional yet warm and friendly. She explained everything and was just great. Dr. Shamblott is the best!

Will definitely return.

How would you rate your overall visit? Excellent.  What makes you rate it this way? :    Everyone was very nice.  No one talked down to me or went on and on how bad my teeth were. What was the best part of your experience at our practice? I didn't feel judged and the visit wasn't long or painful. How could we make your experience better, or improve our service for your next visit?    Can't improve perfection. Did you have to wait past your appointment time to be seated? There was no wait.

Dear Dr. Shamblott and Staff,

I have had my new bridge for a couple of weeks now and would be remiss if I did not write to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to you and your staff. As you know, I had a very complicated situation with my existing bridge that replaced many of my top front teeth. I was about to lose the bridge and was facing the possibility of wearing a partial or even a denture. With your expertise and experience, you guided me through almost a year of complications from going to the periodontist, endodontist, orthodontist for extensive treatment to eventually ending up back at your office to have my final impression and work done for my new bridge. Needless to say, I am grateful for your patient explanations and treatment along the way. I want to add that your staff is absolutely “top-notch”. They have made several “temporary” bridges for me to wear throughout my long process and they have been made carefully with great attention to detail. I had my new bridge cemented a couple of weeks ago and am absolutely thrilled with the final product. The quality of this bridge in comparison to my old bridge is second to none. I am already getting many compliments from friends and family. My bridge is natural looking and the bite is perfect. Thank you and your staff again for giving me back an even better smile!

Sincerely, JV


My initial consult with Dr. Shamblott was free, convenient, informative and expeditious. Dr. Shamblott has a superior chair-side manner compared to other dentists and I say that having visited 48 states and having lived in 6 of them. Having not been cared for in 3 years -my smile is lacking and requires its due attention. I compared Dr. Shamblott's service fees to three other reputable dentists in the Twin Cities and he is well within (average) range, however: the initial consultation was absolutely free of charge and absent of pressure. Dr. Shamblott's staff is well trained, informed, organized and competent. -"Yeah,yeah,yeah, how was it in the chair," you are wondering ? My teeth are as acute as they come and his procedures were gentle, quick, and virtually unnoticible, especially the application of local numbing agents. -I have been out of the chair for less than an hour and have recommended him to 5 people. 5 out of 5 stars.

I want to thank you and your entire staff for taking such great care of me; yes I was very impressed with the pleasant, polite and professional manner everyone showed me during both visits. Please thank your staff for me.  I came in  "scared" and left happy.

My deepest thanks to Dr. Shamblott and his team for replacing my two front teeth.  They are positively beautiful!  My new look has helped me to enjoy smiling again.  I also enjoy my family and friends who tell me how great I look!  I am 75 years young and I should have had this done years ago.  The look is beautiful, the smile beautiful and life is beautiful too!

M.M.


Thank you so much for the terrific care. You are the best at your professions. Making me feel comfortable and receive great treatment in an environment that I’ve kept myself from for so long. Thank you so much! My mouth looks and feels great!

K.C.


Wow! My teeth and gums look and feel great! I never thought I would ever be able to go to a dentist again because of the pain I used to experience. At first I had my doubts, but I was wrong and glad because I found you and can keep my teeth. I never knew a dentist as professional as you and I have been to many. I’ll be back. Tell your staff they are great! Your patient for life.

A.K.


I want to thank everyone at your office for your kindness and working with me. I can’t thank everyone enough f
