Personal Statement
I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I earned my dental degree from Howard University College of Dentistry, where I participated in various Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery externships during my studies.
As a clinician, I believe in continuous learning. I've attended numerous continuing education courses to refine my skills. I've also invested time in advanced surgical training courses focusing on oral implantology and facial bone grafting techniques in Mexico and Nicaragua. I'm proud to have obtained mastership and fellowship credentials with the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics.
When I'm not taking care of patients, I enjoy staying physically fit and exploring local cuisine. I'm also actively involved in various community outreach programs around the world. I hope to help restore smiles and bridge the gap in dental care within the community of Winona, Minnesota.

11/10 !!!
How can I so confidently give this business a 11/10? I visited this business only a couple of times a few years ago. I was teaching at Winona State on a one-year gig. They were friendly and helpful and did good work.
The reason I am submitting this review NOW, though, is because today I received a letter from them about a credit on my account. I moved to Texas in 2017 and since moving to Texas have moved from East Texas to the Rio Grande Valley. This business TRACKED ME DOWN to make sure I got the credit that I have coming to me. THOSE are the kind of folks I want to do business with. They are deserving of encouragement and thanks. The refund isn't going to make me a rich man, mind you, but the fact that they wanted to make sure their customer - albeit a short-term customer - got above-board service is admirable.
I am very happy with how I was treated as a new patient. Went in with a sore tooth. The doctor explained my options and scheduled a follow up visit. After I got home from my first visit, the front desk secretary called and left a voicemail to check on me.
My tooth extraction was a success and have further dental work to complete.
I have used Midwest Dental since coming to Winona 14 years ago and have had
excellent experience with all of their procedures; for example, repair of a broken
crown, repair of a broken partial, extraction of teeth, making and implanting a
a four tooth permanent bridge, cleaning and other tasks. In every situation, I have found Midwest
Dental to be professional, courteous, thoughtful and patient, concerned about my
possibility of suffering pain in any procedure. Over all, I give them an outstanding
rating in all categories. As proof, I even talked my wife in going to them as well. She does not like to go to the dentist; she does now.
Just started going here, absolutely recommend it. I had a bad infection from a tooth that was rotting and they fit me in the day of to make sure I was seen and had an appointment for an extraction within a couple days. Very nice and caring staff, from the receptionist to the dentist. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Definitely going to stick with this place.
I was delighted by my experience at my new dentist office! Everybody was so kind and so friendly and super gentle. Everyone was very knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been looking for a new dentist for quite some time and delighted to have found a new home. I have to drive one hour to get here and it is well worth it. I highly recommend this dental service
I used to dread the dentist. I would get anxiety just thinking about it. Since I've been going to Mideest Dental, my teeth and gums are in the best shape they've been and I actually look forward to my cleanings now! Hailey is amazing!
All of the hygienists I’ve met here are so kind and caring. The current dentist (Dr. Kari) is knowledgeable and she’s great at laying out all your options for you. This place is also great for getting you in quickly when it comes to dental emergencies and pain. Would highly recommend!
My dental hygienist was professional and personable and worked hard to clean my tea stained teeth. My dentist listened thoroughly to my concerns and offered a solution to try that haven't yet pursued. Great use of empathy towards her patient.
I hate going to the dentist, but these folk make it very tolerable. Very friendly staff, dentists are great and professional, and best yet the prices are very reasonable. Very LGBTQ friendly!
Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had in a dental office. They were on time considerate of my situation and very professional I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental experience!
By far one of the most comfortable visits to the dentist. From the receptionist, hygienist to dentist, everyone was welcoming and warm. Very professional. My hygienist was by far the best hygienist I have EVER had in all my years of cleanings!!
This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I generally am terrified of the dentist but they made me feel very at ease. The dental hygienist was incredibly nice and professional! The dentist talked me through the process of treatment and explained everything to me. Highly recommend! A million times better than Aspen Dental!
I was very impressed with their timeliness and professionalism. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called and they were very respectful of my time and they listened to my problems. I would highly recommend this place to anyone
Great experience from start to finish. Competent, professional, and friendly staff that accommodated our family on short notice. Dr. Neefe and assistants did excellent work and had a more conservative approach, which was appreciated, and helped my kids feel at ease. My kids are already asking when they can go back to the dentist!
I have been coming here for approximately 5 years.
Service has been excellent, professional and friendly.
They are accommodating when I’ve had to reschedule.
Procedures are explained well and you are given an insurance estimate well ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect. I never feel rushed or pushed into any procedure.
I highly recommend.
Wow! I'm one of those people that hate going to the dentist-for any reason, thanks to early childhood experiences. I recently had a root canal done by Dr. Neefe and it was actually the best dental experience I've had in my life-including cleanings! I could have fallen asleep while they did their thing. Calm demeanor, friendly with a great sense of humor. Believe me, he knows me well. If you have any doubts, call Dr. Neefe!
There for a procedure today. Explained procedure well before, during and for the after care. Answered all questions. No pressure, the decision of what to do was left to me and my pocketbook. Caring, professional and knowledgeable dentist and these attributes carry over to the rest of the staff.
On my first visit there a few weeks ago, I used their new patient promotion because we do not have dental insurance- $89 for exam, cleaning and xrays. Besides the regular X-rays , they took a panorama X-ray, all covered by this fee. This alone saved us big bucks.
So glad we found this office as we are new to the area. Would recommend them to anyone.
I called them with a terrible toothache and they were able to fit me in right away for a root canal which went very well. I had to come back twice more to finish the root canal and get a filling, but they were always incredibly accommodating. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming and even remembered my face and name! The best experience I have ever had with a dentist!!
FIVE STARS! AWESOME STAFF! (Still owe them a bit of money), BUT THEY'VE BEEN EXCELLENT! THANKS SO MUCH MIDWEST! My molar socket healed up lovely! No problems! No pain at all...some mild discomfort, but that's with any extraction! FIVE STARS! Wonderful people. Thanks bunch. Much love!
