Dr Rick has been my and my childrens (who are now teens) since they were 7 & 11 yrs old. He is an awesome dentist in regards to the quality of work, chairside manner, and comfort level he makes us feel. He is very sensitive to make sure you are feeling no discomfort while performing work. He is excellent with children. A consumate professional and a great guy. Thanks to Dr Lagerman, my whole family has healthy teeth and excellent oral hygene habits. Even though his prices are on the high side, Dr. Lagerman is very preventitive oriented and educates his patients extensively on oral care. I believe this has saved our family money in the long run.
