Dr. Kierkegaard (and Dr. Wilson as well) are two of the best dentists in Portland. Dr. K in particular has the most pleasant "chairside" manner. She remembers personal details about her patients, even if you've only seen her once or twice, she makes you feel like you're an old friend. The cost seems about average, my insurance never turns anything down for being excessive. The hygenists are all wonderfully pleasant, too. It is always easy to schedule an appointment, whether it's for a regular cleaning or an emergency toothache. Dr. Wilson has given me 2 (!) root canals, and he always lets me know it's ok to call day or night with any problems. I highly recommend this office! Our whole family goes regularly.
