Dr. Andrea Wimmergren

But Just Call Me Andrea!

I get it. Going to the dentist isn’t high on anyone’s list of fun things to do this week. Having someone prod and poke around in your mouth is uncomfortable. It just is.

 But, because of the way we approach our relationships with our patients and their stressors, many patients actually look forward to their visits with us. It’s true! We just do it differently here.

 I grew up around doctor’s offices (my parents were technicians at Mayo). I’ve seen patients treated like, well…patients, and I’ve seen patients treated like family. The patients treated like family were the patients who thrived. So that’s what we do at River’s Bend. That’s why we call it “Family Dentistry.”

 Our practice has been building relationships for over 20 years. I joined the practice in 2018 after graduating with distinction from The U of M, bringing with me modern techniques and new technology. I love to make my patients (family) feel better and live pain-free. 

 Because you are family, we care enough to be transparent about financing, direct about your prognosis, and fanatical about making you feel better, now and forever. We hope to be part of your family for life.

So this is my second time coming here, and I feel as though everyone is very good at making you feel comfortable. They are very thorough , and knowledgeable. Alicia is so gentle cleaning my teeth and very pleasant to talk too. Dr. Johnson always makes sure she covers all the details, and has a nice gentle manner as well. They also tried to give me other options that weren’t as expensive to try first, which I appreciate. It is so hard to find a good dentist that you feel comfortable with, and I loved Dr. O. Very pleased with my service here, and I know I will continue to come here.

After a more than disappointing interaction/appointment with Aspen Dental, I opted to support a more local dentistry instead and came to Rivers Bend FDC. What an incredible and attentive staff! Every part about my visit, from email inquiry to phone and email communication/customer service to in-office exam and cleaning was phenomenal. The team walked me through every step of what they were doing, while they were doing it, and helped me set-up a treatment plan that was concise, fair, thorough and exactly what anyone seeking dental care and work should receive. Could not recommend this place or this team more! Thank you all so so much!
