Had a great experience with my cleaning. Sidney’s attention to detail was phenomenal. Not only did she teach me the importance of maintaining healthy oral hygiene she also went above and beyond removing my orthodontic bonding left be hind many years ago. I would definitely recommend Sidney again.
Had a root canal scheduled and they got me in early. Didn't have to wait a few more weeks. They were so nice and gentle. I barely had any pain. Quick and easy. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
My experience at Midwest Dental - Boone was great. From the time I walked through the door until the time I left, I was treated with kindness and respect. My hygenist, Jessica, was thorough, informative, and made me feel very comfortable. I liked Dr. Bricker a lot.
I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for the outstanding service I received during my recent visit. Dr. Bricker was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Bricker's professionalism, warmth, and clear explanations made the entire experience not only comfortable but also reassuring.
The attention to detail and the genuine concern for my well-being were truly evident throughout the visit. It’s rare to find a team that blends skill with such a positive, patient-focused approach, and I felt completely at ease in Dr. Bricker’s care.
I also wanted to highlight the great atmosphere at your office. Everyone, from the front desk to the hygienists, was friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear that you all work as a team, and it makes a real difference in the overall experience.
Thank you again for such a wonderful visit. I truly appreciate the care and expertise Dr. Bricker and the entire team provided. I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

Dr. Bricker beyond terrific! Gentle and knowledgeable including the above traits. I'd recommend this dentistry to everyone in Boone and beyond!
The very best dentist and hygienist that I have ever had do dental work. Very thorough and readily put me at ease and did things in a way that caused very little discomfort, was nit like the old dentists that used a hammer and anvil to extract teeth.
Very highly recommend Dr. Bricker
Dr Bricker was amazing. I told her I'm autistic with sensory issues and I was really anxious. I told her that loud noises in particular are hard for me. She said I could put earbuds in if I needed. She ran all the instruments real quick so I could tell if I needed earbuds, I didn't. She told me what she was doing before she did it so I knew what was going on, what to expect, and so I wouldn't get startled by the noises. She was really understanding and offered to stop if I got overwhelmed. Amazing experience. No complaints. I will be a lot less anxious going to her.
What great service I received at Midwest Dental. The service was very quick and professional. The team here is very kind and efficient. I came for a routine cleaning and to get a referral for my wisdom teeth extraction. Thank you, and I would recommend Midwest Dental in Boone.
Wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of the ladies that helped me through a hard time with the new dentist at Midwest Dental. I was a bit freaked, but she (the dentist)was AMAZING. They calmed a scaredy-cat down. I can't say enough great things about the assistant as well. Ladies up front were sweet and kind , very accommodating. Even when I was grumpy. Midwest Dental is great for any age. Above all, very kind. Start your young ones out with them.

Dr. Phams does a great job. I had 3 teeth extracted the same day and he made sure I knew every step along the way and why he was doing it. He took great care to thoroughly explain the after care to me and make sure I understood what to do. He even showed me the problem teeth and explained why he had a harder time extracting them. I love that he takes so much care making sure I know why and what is happening. The assistants are also great and friendly. They made sure I was as comfortable as possible while taking xrays and firmly reminded me why home care is so important and gave me great recommendations on how to improve it. The desk staff are also great and very transparent about what insurance will cover. They also are great at scheduling future appointments and working with outside dental places for referrals. One of the best dentists I've had.
Very thorough and took time to do things many dentists and hygienist never did to give me the best experience and make sure my teeth were extremely clean and healthy. Discussed my concerns and listened to my worries as I have dental anxiety
Everyone at this office is very kind and friendly! The medical staff went over everything in ways I could understand. Explained each step prior to doing it incase I had questions or needed reassurance. Answered any questions that I had without issue! I would recommend them to anyone!

My daughter and I glad we chose Midwest Dental Boone. We are fairly new patients and satisfied and I definitely would recommend this place. All the staff from receptionist, to dental assistants, to Dr. Pham all very friendly. I just had little bit of work done yesterday and definitely better experience than I had in past with other dental places. I will definitely keep going back.
Aaron and Dr. Pham explained their procedures and why which is a very first for me. That in and of itself was most helpful. Everyone in the office is most pleasant.
By far the best dental experience I have ever had. I visited Mid West Dental after nearly 20 years of avoiding dentists out of own irrational fear. I shared with them my phobia, they made sure I was at ease and am now in good dental health and am following the 6 month check up schedule. You couldln't ask for better people, I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Phams and his team.
The whole office staff we’ve had, have been excellent. The girls at the front desk are very helpful & pleasant. Our hygienist, Aaron, is the best! Definitely a keeper! He’s very thorough does a great job. Dr Pham, is very good also. He listens to our concerns & gives advice when asked. He respects our opinions about our dental health. Happen to catch one of their morning pre-work gathering in the office. Very nice to witness that! Hope none of these people ever quit till we’re dead!
My experience at Midwest Dental has always been fantastic. The doctor and staff know what they're doing and the front desk is always welcoming and friendly.
Great dentist, everyone is so friendly and encouraging. I always enjoy coming in for cleanings, root canals or crowns, it doesn't matter they do a swell job and do it well.
Friendly and attentive!!! Everyone at Midwest Dental was very friendly and courteous. Always asking if I had any concerns regarding my oral health and answering any questions I had.
There are no words to describe the excellence of Midwest Dental. From nose to tail, the whole staff is committed to care, compassion and cammaradarie. Seldom have I seen such dedication in any team. Dr. Phams has assembled a group of rare and talented individuals.
Kermit and I have called Midwest Dental Boone our Dental Home for
several years now. The staff welcome us and the waiting room is
a relaxing place to wait, ( which is not a long wait at all). We feel the
staff is very efficient, pleasant, and well trained. We have felt Dr. Pham
is the kind of dentist we need.
Friendly staff. Dr. Phams is kind, funny, and thorough. His involvement with every aspect of the dental visit is amazing.
My first new dentist in over 10 years and I'm so happy I switched. I can't recommend this office enough.
Absolutely excellent office in every way, and I've been to several dentists in my life. I have been going to Midwest Dental in Boone for going on three years now and drive from Ames for the privilege of their services.
Dr. Phams is an extremely friendly and patient guy and I'm surprised every time he remembers something about me - I never expect dentists to remember people they see every six months. With procedures he is quick, efficient, and effective, and I like how he explains what he's doing in my mouth as he goes along. They seem better equipped with modern technology than many dentists I have been to in the past as far as little gadgets and gizmos for comfort and ease of operation. The employees at the front desk/office are always great and the hygienist I'm paired with every time is an absolute joy and by far my favorite I've ever had.
What can I say? I look forward to going to the dentist now and don't mind driving a bit to get there.
I had a great experience at Midwest Dental. My dental hygienist, Jesse, was extremely knowledgable and made sure I was completely aware of all procedures. He even showed me photos of my teeth to point out certain things. Dr. Phams was also very welcoming and willing to answer all my questions. I felt that my concerns were taken very seriously. All staff I encountered here were very friendly and made conversation with me.
