Have NO fear! Every aspect of Midwest Dental is pain free! Scheduling is perfect! Never waited longer than 5 minutes. Reminders are sent abundantly so you do not forget your appointment. Everyone single person, from the wonderful hygienists, (Emily and Tara) the assistants, and dentists, are kind, knowledgeable, and will put you at ease. I’ve had extensive work done, and NEVER had one moment of pain. And I’m a big baby. I no longer fear, avoid, or dread the dentist. They will give you billing estimates, and work with you for payment options. Have NO fear. The entire team is dedicated to your dental health and comfort.
Midwest Dental is the best to go to. The staff is extremely nice and they are always accommodating to my work schedule and are great with my kids. They have helped our family each and every time.
Great Great Staff. Carleen works Majic with scheduling. Tara is a Great Dental Hygienist.
Dr Mir is an Excellent young Dentist we are lucky to have him here in Sandwich. Mary is a consummate Professional!
Such a Great team!
We switched to Midwest Dental when moving to the area two years ago. Tara is our hygienist and she is absolutely fantastic! We have seen several doctors come in and out of the practice, but each of them have been wonderful. We bring our son who is three and he is comfortable with the staff and the office. He even allowed them to look at his teeth and use the tools to get him comfortable before having an actual cleaning. We are grateful that we found this office!
My husband and I had a great experience. Dr. Mir and his staff were fantastic and very caring. They made sure to get us in and out as soon as they could without compromising the quality of their work. 10/10 experience and highly recommend.

I have been a patient at Midwest Dental for over 30 years. Karlene, Mary, Tara and Laura are kind, professional and truly care about their patients. They always go above and beyond to make sure their patients are well taken care of. I appreciate all they have done for me throughout the years. They are the best! :)
I love coming to the dentist because of the staff. It is such a positive environment that I enjoy every minute I am in there. They always ensure that you feel comfortable and they listen to what you have to say. They are very flexible with scheduling and are great at getting you in as soon as they can. Couldn’t ask for a better dentist and staff!
My experience as a new patient W/Dr. Steve and his staff was so positive! He and Mary, his Assistant took so much time looking at each tooth and my gums. Mary is so friendly, informative and welcoming.
We discussed any concerns and they had the quote within minutes fr/my insurance company.
The hygentist, Tara also managed to squeeze me in her aschedule avoiding another appointment!
The Cost was less in all areas than what I was previously paying too. In this day and age, that's exciting news! I highly recommend Midwest Dental in Sandwich!
I have alot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist!
Everyone made me feel so much more relaxed than I’ve ever been before while having dental procedures done.
I am so very grateful.
My crown fell off and it was due to a fractured tooth. Options were discussed about the future of the tooth. Dr. cemented the tooth back in and explained because of the fracture there is no guarantee on how long it would last. I am totally satisfied with the explanation. The staff was very pleasant and I was taken quickly. I look forward to future visits.
My kids and I were treated so well by the whole staff- warm, friendly and a comfortable environment! My kids were relaxed and it was nice to be informed of each step before it happened. Dr. Steven was down to earth and very kind. He took his time and didn't rush through things. Great experience!
First time going and the staff and dentist were very friendly and kind. Explained everything being done. Also, went over future appointments needed and an estimate of my costs. Very impressed.
I've been using Midwest Dental for many years. I've never had a complaint or bad experience. I've just had a crown and cleaning. See you in six months Doc.
I would have to give Dr. Steve, and the entire staff at Midwest Dental a 10 star rating on a 5-star scale, I have never been to such a well structured and professional dental office. It has been five years since I have been to a dentist and they are so kind and professional, the cleaning was very thorough and painless, I shouldn't have waited so long to get back in the routine of good oral health. It will definitely be recommending Midwest Dental and Dr.Steve to my family and friends.
I've been going here for years and I really like them. They are very caring and take exceptional care of their patients! I will not go to a dentist I don't like. So, with that being said, I will not go anywhere else!
I highly recommend Dr. An and the amazing staff. The first time I visited the office in Sandwich l was very impressed. I came in nervous because of other dental work in the past from another dentist but I was welcomed with warm arms and reassured that I would be fine. I had the deep cleaning and had no discomfort on the same day once the Novocain wore off.
I visited Midwest Dental for a cleaning and X-rays. The staff was extremely kind and professional! Dr. An was able to get me squared away and I had no issues understanding the procedures as well as recommendations that was provided to better the health of my teeth! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a secure, friendly environment!
This dental practice is so warm and welcoming. They definitely make you feel at home. My daughter had to get fillings and the dentist was amazing with her and her anxiety. 10/10 recommend.
This was the first time I have ever went to this office. They all were so very nice and patient with me I would definitely a place I would recommend to anyone. I will be going back there again. Thank you
I highly recommend this dentist the staff is very friendly and caring. I went in for a tooth removal and they where very understanding of the amount of pain I was in. They where as gentle as they could be. This will be mine and my families dentist from now on. Thank you to all of the staff there for being so kind.
Dr. An and staff have been extremely professional and caring with my 49-year old handicapped sister. She needed extensive dental reconstruction and Dr. An has been very gentle and proficient in her treatments. The Smiles program they offer participation in has also helped reduced the cost of the treatment plan significantly.
I couldn't be happier with Dr. An and all of her staff! I had a crown replaced on my front tooth. Dr. An was so patient and kind, and she went above and beyond to make sure the crown was a wonderful match. The entire staff-Dr. An, Karlene, Mary, Amanda, Nicole and Marcie are all so friendly and always have a smile.
I would definitely recommend Midwest Dental and Dr. An for any of your dental needs.
Dr. Varma performed 2 molar extractions in one session with little discomfort. Although I was concerned over the absence of Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Varman did an excellent job and will continue as my dentist.
I am very happy with Midwest Dental and everyone who is a part of it.
Dr. Schmidt and the entire staff are very professional and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone.
The staff in this office is always warm and friendly. My son has been going here since he was a toddler, and feels right at home with everyone. I recently had to have an involved procedure and I was referred to another office. The treatment went well and I survived!
I am a new patient of Midwest. They make me feel like I am family. I am so grateful for the nice work that they do. They are a team that works very well together with mutual respect and they pass that on to their clients. Karlene is an amazing Office Manager and works to keep things running smoothly. It is so convenient that they are in my town. They really care about their "customers" and don't want them to experience any pain. I'm glad they took me in. Sincerely, Nancy Jo Otto
Dr. Schmidt is one of the best dentists I have ever been to. Him and his staff do an amazing job and are very honest in everything they do. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Keep up the great work!
I've been a patient of Dr. Schmidt's for many years. Although I live out of state, I continue to come back and schedule visits due to the fantastic service I've always received. His staff does a wonderful job working with my "unique" schedule and has gone out of their way to ensure that I'm able to get any dental work completed during my visits, including some emergency work over the holidays that they were able to accommodate. Karlene did an exceptional job in working to see that my needs were met and followed up to ensure that all work was completed to my utmost satisfaction. Angela has also done a great job during my visits, and I cannot praise Dr. Schmidt and his staff enough for their professionalism and dedication. I would highly recommend their services.
I had been a satisfied patient of Dr. Schmidt since 1989 when I moved to Sandwich. A few years ago I moved from the area. My experiences with other dental offices were not the same as my previous treatments with Midwest Dental. Recently I needed to have my partials adjusted, and although more than three years had passed since I had been to the office, I was received as if I had never been gone. Dr. Schmidt fixed the problem (the issues with the partials were my own fault) and Karleen even called me the next morning to make sure all was well. I would certainly recommend Midwest Dental to anyone seeking friendly, competent dental care,
Years of discomfort were no burden to me anymore after this team worked to provide me with quick and expert care, during an oral examination. Careful planning and timely advice prepared me for my visit. The trust developed with these professionals at Midwestern Dental Sandwich is one that will easily last a lifetime. There will be no hesitation in my mind when the time comes to go visit this team when they are ready to see me for the next scheduled oral examination as was suggested. I won't forget to floss, thank you!
I know rating the dentist 5 star and 'loving it" isn't something that goes teeth for teeth, but Dr. Schmidt and Angela were wonderful. In fact I felt bad for being there so long and Angela chimes in, "Dr. Schmidt is very thorough." Thorough and professional is definitely adjectives that I would use for Dr. Schmidt. I would recommend anyone new to town or having been in the Sandwich area looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend going to see Dr. Schmidt.
