Marianne Schaefer, DDS

Dr. Schaefer is a diamond in the rough, SO fortunate to have found her! She not only cares about the well being of your dental health but your WHOLE body health as well. She also does not wish to charge overly high prices, which I love as well. She will not recommend dental work to be done unless she feels it is absolutely necessary. Her chairside manner is awesome too, love her sense of humor and she is really down to earth!
Love the comfortable environment in her office and awesome that she has video games and a play area for the kids. She even has pajama days too!
Everyone is great there and I cannot say enough how much I love this dentist. She has consistent 5 star ratings for a reason!

I feel like I have finally found someone who knows the art of dentistry! No over use of technology here. Dr. Schaefer is a true dentist. I brought my two children to her. My youngest was nervous leading up to the big day but Dr. Schaefer was amazing with him! She introduced all of her tools to him, let him experience them before she placed them in his mouth and even let him help the cleaning by allowing him to suck up the fluids in his own mouth. After the visit, she sent a nice letter via snail mail to the kids saying how great it was to meet them, reminding them to brush their teeth and to get a hold of her with any questions or stories and ways to do so. We love Dr. Schaefer and will be returning.

So My husband, son and I all go to Dr Schaefer now. Tyler’s first visit was today. He is 3 yrs old. She does have a cow puppet and let me sit with Tyler the whole time. Tyler held the mirror and inspected my teeth and Dr Schaefer explained everything to Tyler as well. Tyler warmed up right away and got to watch Daddy get his teeth cleaned as well. She had her suite all decked out for Halloween and Ty kinda freaked «it’s scary» but all in all she remaines my favorite dentist and even helped me with healthful alternatives with reagrds to women’s vitamins and hormones. Girls always need help with that. Not to mention were are both fans of the Chemically Inbalanced Theatre!

I have been a patient of Dr. Schaefer for 20 years, and she has consistently provided excellent dental care to my family with kindness, respect, and a wonderful sense of humor. As a kid, I never understood why my peers were afraid of the dentist — mine had a Nintendo, a play area, and fun prizes! Excellent for kids of any age.
Dr. Schaefer keeps up with the latest advances in dental technology, but not at the expense of timeless, old-​fashioned care. I have always felt well educated about my options, and never felt any pressure. I once went to another dentist and found myself, bewildered, with a drill in my mouth. Never again.
The office is conveniently open evenings and weekends, and worth the trip of any distance. Highly recommended.

Dr. Schaefer is awesome. I’ve been going to her for 2 years after finding her on Unilocal & she’s definitely a cookey dentist with a nice sense of humor. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, she is into ‘women’s issues’. Cookey + Sense of Humor + Feminist Views = her razzing male patients such as myself, but as she has that good sense of humor, she can take it as well as she can dish it out. If you’re a guy, I’d recommend pre-​emptively messing with her, though maybe not on your first visit (or if she’s using the drill on you).
Very nice & comfortable office, with easy parking & late hours /​Sat. hours.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been scared to death of going to the dentist. I always mean to make an appointment, but I keep telling myself, «Maybe after I’ve flossed regularly for a month…» and since that never happens, my teeth have been suffering for… years.
Anyways, when my daughter turned 4, I decided it was time to introduce her to better dental hygiene habits than her mom’s. I wanted to make sure that her first visit to the dentist would be one that wouldn’t turn her into a dentophobe. After much research, I took my daughter to Dr. Schaefer.
I have to say, I don’t think I could’ve picked a better dentist for my kid’s 1^st checkup and cleaning. Dr. Schaefer had a cow puppet with teeth, and she showed my daughter what she was going to do by demonstrating on the cow. She explained everything as she went along, and any type of instrument she was going to put in my daughter’s mouth, she let her feel it on her hand first so she knew what to expect. I was allowed to sit with my daughter the whole time, which was very important to me.
Dr. Schaefer is friendly to grownups and kids alike. Her office also has a little play area with toys and books so that your kids have something to do while waiting. She also has a chest full of toys that kids can pick a little trinket from on the way out. My daughter got lucky, and Dr. Schaefer let her pick TWO trinkets, one for my daughter and one for my daughter’s stuffed puppy.
I don’t think she accepts Dental Insurances that are HMOs or PPOs, so I made sure that I changed my Dental Plan this year to one where I can choose any dentist. We hope she’ll be our family dentist for many years to come.

Who says denttis don’t have a sense of humor. This is one cookey dentist who has loves her job. She has a fun office and gives out fun treats! She highly into client education and is always willing to explain. She is easy to get an appoinment with and has the latest in technology as long as she finds it beneficial to her clients!
