They seem to do things 'just right', we are well satisfied.
I was afraid to go back to a denist . But Dr Shea explained everything he was going to do and my mouth did not even hurt afterwards he is a great denist and I highly recommend him.
Everyone was very professional and friendly and helpful. Got me in on time. Dr Shea did a careful exam and offered me options. He was very personable and listened to my concerns and desires. They took my insurance and ran the proposed treatment plans through them. Easy to find location. Considering it was a dentist visit it was an enjoyable experience. LOL
I am very impressed with the entire office, I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist's office. I highly recommend. Thank you so much Midwest dental. You're awesome.
Everytime I come in there I feel like Dr. Shea and all the staff are super amazing! I love Kate she’s always a nice and really does everything she can to get you in as soon as possible! Everyone is kind and listen to me ramble when I'm nervous before I'm about to have some dental work done! Love coming there and will continue to :) I always recommend them to friends and family!!
Being a person with a dental phobia, I didn't sleep much the night before my appointment. I could have slept like a baby instead. Everyone was very kind and caring. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you. I will be back.
I am one hundred percent satisfied with the work and services provided to me. Dr. Shea reminds me of the small town dentist I had growing up. He took the time to get to know me and we connected on a few things. I honestly didn’t know that there was still a dentist out there who treats people like family! Very competent too. He filled my two teeth in a matter of minutes. No pain! All the girls there are so nice! The dental hygienist cleaned my teeth so well that I’m still amazed. I sure hope that group stays together for many years to come!
Fast, efficient, and very professional work . First visit with fractured tooth and walked out with a temporary crown. All in one visit. Very impressed.
I am SO GLAD I found Dr. Shea and his assistants. I am typically terrified of dentists but they are very calming and go the extra mile for patients like me. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

My experience at Midwest dental has been wonderful. Katie Knight is the best dental hygienist I have ever gone to. She is both beautiful, smart and very informative. Katie, Kate and Dr. Shea are so very professional and love there jobs. And the best part is, it's pain free. They are such a fun Group of people which is fantastic.
I had lost a filling, and my regular dentist was unavailable. His office recommended Midwest Dental Chetek. I called their office and was immediately accepted as a patient. At the appointment, the office staff was extremely helpful in completing initial paperwork. The dental assistant, Jordan, and the dentist, Dr. Shay, immediately set me at ease; explained my alternatives; contacted the insurance company; and preformed their procedures for putting on a new crown.
Highly recommend Midwest Dental Chetek!
There truly amazing! I have severe anxiety in general and don't go places and so the dentist is even harder for me but they were amazing!! Dr.shea walked me through every step n gave me the laughing gas to calm me and help me so I didn't feel pain! I highly recommend them!
Haven't been to a dentist in 20+ years. Getting older now and the day had come when I had to go to one. Was very nervous and anxious at first. So far; so good. Got to go back in two weeks. Still don't want to be at a dentist; BUT if I have to see one; I think this is the place to go to. The doctor and all the staff were very nice and patient with me. It's never fun going to the dentist but they talk to you and do there best to settle your nerves a little bit.
Outstanding practice. From the time was greeted, I was treated to staff with topflight interpersonal skills. The dental professionals were just that, professional, and demonstated excellent techmical skills. This usually means good management and staff selection in in place. It shows.
I had an appointment a few days ago to get some major work done on my teeth. Dr. Shea is the only one that can approach me with a needle without me going into a panic! He keeps me calm and explains everything he is doing. I have had many dentist and I can say I will never switch as long as Dr. Shea is in Chetek! My husband, children and I have been going to Midwest Dental in Chetek for years and can't stress enough how much we love the entire staff!!!! They are all so kind and treat you like you are all long time friends. Hands down the best dental office and staff!!!!
I was just there for an appointment yesterday for a root canal on a molar that had broke and was bothering me for several weeks. I have had root canals twice before that seemed to take forever to complete. This was the smoothest, quickest, and (most importantly) pain free process I have ever experienced. Less than an hour after the procedure I was enjoying my lunch and able to chew pain free on the left side of my mouth for the first time in over a month! I woke up this morning with a slight soreness in my jaw (from the injections I imagine) but absolutely no tooth or gum pain. Great Doctor! Great Staff! I would drive a hundred miles any day to use this services of this office!
I have received excellent dental care for more than ten years. Dr Shea and his staff are always very friendly and professional. I have received excellent care every time for appointments and always when I have had a dental problem they would get me in quickly to fix my problem. I highly recommend this dental clinic for all your dental needs.
My husband and I both had dental work performed by Dr. Shea. He and his staff were all very pleasant, professional and highly competent. We will definitely continue using them for our dental needs.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shea and his wonderful staff. I held off on getting a root canal because I was basically scared. Dr. Shea offered me solutions. Dr. Shea and his assistant were very patient and gentle with me during the procedure and now I'm free of the pain! Thank you!
Dr Shea and staff are caring, friendly and will go out of there way to help. would recommend them to everyone. They get my vote. I am a patient and will continue to be one.
Professional, caring, thoughtful, efficient, skilled, and engaged are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when I think about my experiences at Midwest Dental Chetek. This evaluation is from a person with undiagnosed dental phobia, so it is high praise indeed.
My family uses this facility for our dental needs. Midwest Dental is not only professional and thorough, they are very caring and involved in keeping you healthy. We love this place, have never had a bad experience and always let people know how great they are, it is difficult to find dental care professionals that operate at this level. They are able to take care of all our needs and are very cost efficient. We cannot highly recommend them enough.
