I have very mixed feelings about Dr. Hagstrom. His office staff are very friendly and I felt well cared for by them. They are also his patients and the ones I knew had taken advantage of his cosmetic veneers. I went to him in an emergency when a filling fell out of one of my front teeth. That visit went very well and I was happy with the results. That is until that same filling fell out less than four years later. I had hoped to make Dr. Hagstrom my permanent dentist, but that didn't happen. I was told that all of my silver amalgam (?) fillings should be replaced. It was unclear if this was needed for medical or cosmetic reasons. To ensure that my insurance would pay for them, he said he would mark that they all had decay around them. He said that in fact only one did. I was happy about this at first. Then, when I only had enough money to replace one filling, I asked which one really needed to be done. His staff couldn't tell me. I began to feel that cosmetic concerns outweighed medical ones in that office. At that point I decided to find another dentist. The office is very welcoming and beautiful. An excellent place for kids as there is a large play area and the front door has a stained glass unicorn in it.
