Im so grateful for this doctor, Dr.Kohnke saved me $4,000. Aspen Dental told me I needed a wisdom tooth pulled that was in my sinus, he said, Do Not remove that tooth, you could damage your sinus. Wow, and then he goes on to tell me I don't have any cavities, and they wanted to give me a filling I didn't need. He has the best staff, they love him, and when you get a doctor everyone enjoys going to, and working for, that says volumes about the quality of care. He's the best without question.

Dr. Kohnke has one of the most calming voices ever. Anyone who has anxiety must make an appointment with Dr. Kohnke. He is patient, quick and thorough. I greatly appreciated his kindness and his assistant Crystal was also so kind, patient and understanding. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
