Dr. Talberg is always easy to take to & share his opinions about different treatment options. He went out of his way into looking into purchasing something I'm in need of. He's friendly & professional.

He is an extremely competent and compassionate dentist. I did not have an appointment but he squeezed me and was able to provide immediate care.

He's always taken time to explain and answer any questions. He gives you all options and knew if I had 2nd thoughts. I ended up pulling a tooth, and he ensured my numbness and comfort, and ready to stop if I needed but he was successful with no problems. He truly cares about his patients and happy he's my dentist.
