PENINSULA FAMILY DENTISTRY

I enjoy going to my dental appointments at PFD! I can’t thank Dr Ekdahl and the entire staff enough for taking care of me and making sure I had the best care because of trauma I had to my to my front tooth and needing to have a root canal. Thanks again to everyone for being so helpful and great!

Such a great experience at the dentist today! Denise, the hygienist did a awesome job getting my child out of a funk too... he was actually crying (I think he was tired) but either way he left loving the place/dentist and is excited for his next appointment! Again such a great experience with the cleaning and exam by Dr. Ekdahl!

Dr. Britlinger and her staff are next to none. Always a great experience, highly knowledgeable and extremely skilled! I am also always treated like family here. I only recommend Dr. Britlinger! It’s worth the extra 15 minutes to drive to Negaunee.
