Dr. Croutze has been my dentist for about 20 years and my fiance's for the last 8 years. He is courteous and explains things to his patients. He is thorough but does not do work that is not necessary. He will advise you of different alternatives but does not push for the most expensive but for that best one that will work. He is accomodating for those little emergencies that sometimes arise. The entire office is very pleasant. The atmosphere is relaxed and you are made to feel welcome. Best dentist I have ever had.
