I fully expected to have a tooth with a VERY OLD filling extracted. Shaun's advice was to have it crowned instead and the reasoning behind that advice which made sense. With the new (to me) technology for on-site crown manufacturing, laser measurements and all completed in 2 hours, I am impressed. No coming back in in 2 weeks for the final crown. I live 400 miles RT from the dental office I have been a patient at since 1972.

My first visit with Echo Dentistry was amazing! 😊 I had felt so welcomed and appreciated. First of all, I L❤️VED the ambiance of the waiting room was so warm & inviting. They had the beautifully decorated Christmas 🎄 tree in the corner, and the other corner had the TV screen with an open 🔥 fireplace show. I thought that was a great idea. Deb did a great job on cleaning & examining my teeth. Dr. Gillard gave me a very detailed idea what concerns and updates are needed. The receptionists were very friendly and explained every detail of our bill.

Everyone at Echo remembers me, schedules me at my convenience, starts work at the appointment time, considers my comfort level, and discusses future procedures that might be needed. I have always been pleased with the results.

Best Dentist in the state of Minnesota. Shawn is the best person ever for cleaning time, and Dr. Gillard did 3 separate crowns for me they were done with the best quality.

I was very impressed with the office help and dentist. Everyone was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. The dentist was able to pull my tooth and it was a huge relief. I wish to thank him for fitting me in and taking care of my problem.

Dr Gillard is always interested in you and what is going on with you. He truly cares about his patients. he always checks your gums and mouth after every cleaning to make sure all is well with your entire oral health. Records are very accurate. and he always reminds you of needed repair. Shawn who does the cleaning is truly the best teeth specialist I have had ever. I always let people know how gentle, yet effective his practice is. Wendy the insurance specialist is the best I have ever seen at knowing the processes of insurance companies, and for something that would be totally confusing to most people she makes it understandable. I have recommended This Dentist community to many people over the years, and have heard nothing but praise. Thank You for all that you have done for me and others, You have truly made my life better. Sincerely Kimberly Posusta

I had the best experience I have ever had at a dental office. Everyone was very helpful and friendly! They were able to fit me in to get everything done to start me on my invisalign adventure and explained everything very well. I am confident they will provide me with the best care!

I have always been very satisfied with Echo Family Dental. Everyone is friendly, very compassionate and concerned about my welfare. When I need care right away they have made sure I am seen promptly. I have had many years of wonderful care and would recommend them to anyone.

As always, your dental care was second to none. Thank you Shawn and Dr. Gillard for your supreme care. Is there anything I can do about the staining on my teeth?

I was satisfied with everything concerning my visit.
Oct 22, 2015
Regarding the financial question, the only thing I felt wasn't explained was if the type of scan I did for my x-rays was covered through my insurance. I am hoping so. Thanks for the great service!
Sep 21, 2015
Shawn got down to my 3 year old's level, explained what everything was before he used it, asked her questions instead of me, which I loved, and he actually understood her answers. She had such a good experience that she wanted to go back the next day.
Sep 12, 2015
Linda is wonderful - always professional, pleasant/friendly and efficient. The front office staff is also very welcoming and appreciate their friendly manner in which those coming into the office are greeted.

I hadn't been for a while and I really appreciated the new numbing gel Deb used on my gums during the cleaning. That took the edge off really nicely. She is always so warm and welcoming and ready to hear any concerns I have about my dental health.

Sep 25, 2014
Everything was very nice and made me feel very comfortable and the girl that cleaned my teeth was very gentle since my teeth are so poor. My dad said I always had poor teeth with not very much enamel on them . Thanks, Linda Green
Aug 2, 2014
well satisfied with everything
Jul 27, 2014
The Dentist is not a very fun spot to be, but Shawn always makes it as comfortable as he can, also please get it a little bit colder in the room, im assuming most people like me get nervous at the dentist and start to sweat making the visit even more uncomfortable.
Jul 4, 2014
Professional and caring service.
Jun 22, 2014
I love Dr Lyke and his staff!! They are all so friendly and make you feel comfortable!

Apr 23, 2014
I was thankful that my former (out of state) dentist recommended a second opinion when I called him after another dentist in town siad Megan needed 4 fillings and Mandy needed 8. Thank you for providing a complimentary second opinion. I am very glad I came to your office.
Feb 1, 2014
good service nice dentist. Very gentle and explains things

Dec 10, 2013
A very friendly staff and excellent facilities.
Dec 7, 2013
Jessica is an awesome hygienist! She is very thoughtful.
Nov 30, 2013
The physical office waiting area and other rooms are clean and friendly - they're clinical but not stark IMO. Also, I believe you've struck a very good balance between casual/professional; no small part of that balance is your staff - the staff members I interacted with were genuinely nice people with excellent communication and technical skills.
Nov 1, 2013
My hygienist did a great job at making me as comfortable as possible.He is is a real asset to your business.
Oct 4, 2013
Shawn is outstanding in his work and rapport. Between him and Dr Gillard, I always look forward to "going to the dentist."
Oct 4, 2013
Everyone is so good ! I used to hate going to the dentist but not anymore! Thanks everyone!
Oct 2, 2013
I would like to say Thank You to a very patient and understanding hygienist. The poor condition of my teeth and gums surely required her kind of patience.
Sep 20, 2013
I would like to hear more about the condition of my teeth, gums, etc. as the hygenist is cleaning and examining them - sort of a play-by-play as they do their work. I guess I could ask.
Sep 6, 2013
I appreciated Carrie talking to me about the miscommunication we had about Malea's bill. As always I felt comfortable with Shawn cleaning my teeth. The only negative from this visit was how long I had to wait for Dr. Gillard. Shawn and I talked as we waited.
Aug 24, 2013
We called before the appointment asking for the price of the service. The price we were told was much less than the price we paid.
Aug 21, 2013
Eveyone did their best to explain, and treat me well.
Jul 27, 2013
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. As this was a first visit, it's difficult to judge, but it seemed to be a long visit. Also feel that the charges are somewhat high compared to my former dentist. May do some checking around to compare fees. Thank you.
Jul 26, 2013
Wish you had a branch office in Spain!
Jul 24, 2013
best dental visit I've had in a long time!!
Jul 22, 2013
This is a great dental office. They are very good at what they do:)
Jul 22, 2013
Changed my opinion of dentists in a very positive way.
Jul 5, 2013
Dr. Gillard has been my dentist for over 30 years. I have watched his practice grow and change, keeping up with modern technology, to make the patient's over all experience better. His staff is experienced! There is a family atmosphere in the building. My daughter sees Dr. Gillard as well, with her first experience 11 years ago being very positive to the point of not being afraid of going to the dentist. Keep up the good work, Everyone!
Jul 3, 2013
Enjoyed it as much as any dental visit can be enjoyed!Ha Ha
Jun 22, 2013
You are a very professional establishment, understanding, patient and aim to please. Thank You very much.

Dr. Lyke's Assistant,Sandy was wonderful. She really made me feel comfortable and eased any anxieties I had. Dr. Lyke did a great job on my extration and it was nice seeing him after 30 years.
Jun 18, 2013
Everyone I encountered on my visit was friendly and made it evident they wanted to make my experience as pleasant as possible.
