Need Recommendations for Dentist and Doctors in South Metro

T. - as far as a dentist goes, I really like our dentist - Mike Nanne, Northstar dental in Burnsville. He is great with kids and even us adults. My older children really like him. Be sure to look for a dentist that doesn't use mercury amalgam (sp) fillings. You don't want to expose your children or youself to this natsy toxic substance.

I recently changed doctors to Apple Valley Clinic (not really close to you) and really like Dr. Scott Benson. He has been my parents' doctor for years and I was so impressed that I changed my whole family to him. He has a great caring manner. He's the kind of doctor that you want all doctors to be.

Good luck

I would highly recommend Dr. Trent Kvittem of Children's Dental Care. He has offices in Lakeville and Savage ###-###-####. An oral surgeon recommended him and told me that he takes HIS kids there. We live 30 min. away, but it's worth the drive. He also does orthodontics! I think that you and your kids would like him!

Hello T.,

Welcome to the neighborhood! I live in Burnsville and travel to Shakopee for my family doctor. I have a 3 1/2 year old son who loves him as much as I do. His name is Dr. George Lundgren and works with Allina Clinic in the St. Francis Medical building/hospital. He was there with me through entire delivery and he told me that he would not miss it for the world. He treats use like we are family and believes and will make time for any one. He is a down to earth kind of guy who is kind, gentle, caring and most importantly wants to help you with any issue you are having. He has more then a doctor, client relationship with his clients he TRULY CARES. Please let me know if you would like more information about him or a number to his clinic I will be more then happy to give it to you.

Good luck and trust me I know how important it is to have a great doctor and I believe I have found the best and would travel the ends of the world just to see him!

A fantastic pediatrician is Dr. Nersesian of Metropolitan Pediatrics. There is a Burnsville office. He is the nicest doctor I think I have ever met...wish I could see him!

I can't help you with a dentist but I've been with Tim Johanson of Metropolitan Pediatrics in Shakopee for 10 years. We moved to Bloomington but I still drive to see him because he takes so much time and is such a skilled dr. He also takes time to chat with the kids and joke with them. When my son was younger he'd pick out which toy to bring to show to his "friend" whenever I told him we were going to the doc. Dr. Johanson would always make a big deal about the toy and ask lots of questions about it before beginning the exam. He has helped us with so many issues over the years, I couldn't recommend anyone more.
