HealthPartners Dental Clinic St. Paul Como

I have HealthPartners Dental and have been going to this place for the past several years and absolutely love it. The main reason I keep going back is that I love that they give you treatment options of jumping on the most expensive treatment plan and telling you that's what you need to do. They have also been fantastic to work with when it comes to trying to get in year end appointments to maximize benefits before the new year starts.

I was referred to Dr. Barsness at St. Paul Como for a root canal . Dr. Barsness and his staff were VERY cordial and kind. NOBODY wants to have a root canal, but they were very caring and explained everything to me and made me feel at ease.

I was a bit worried about all the negative reviews, but I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience! Dr. Barsness did my root canal (assisted by Christina), and it went incredibly well. They are both very talented and very patient-focused. I experienced no pain at all during the procedure and the recovery has been extremely swift. Thanks to the both of them for doing such a wonderful job!!

I went in for a dental cleaning and to have an existing composite filling—previously done by another dentist at my previous clinic—evaluated, as it was causing me pain when chewing. By chance, I was assigned to Dr. Vuong, who quickly identified the issue and expertly redid the filling. Thanks to her, I’m now completely pain-free and couldn’t be happier! The hygienist and staff at the Como location are also super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Vuong and the team at the Como Clinic.

I’ve been to this clinic a few times and have been treated kindly by the staff, everyone is friendly and is competent in their respective roles. Dr Pancholi has been very helpful and excellent to work with. Regarding a previous review that states the building is grimy—not sure what constitutes grimy to this individual but the facilities are clean and orderly, despite the fact that the structure is older. This isn’t the shiniest, newest facility, but it’s surely a far cry from grimy or dirty.

Yes, the building feels outdated and a bit cramped/gloomy. However, my care with Vanessa Burton (recent addition to this location), was excellent. She took the time to explain things and lay out options for me to choose from. Most dentists I've been to seem rushed and as if my questions are inconveniencing them. Not the case with Doctor Burton.

They are booked out for at least a month for wisdom teeth surgery, and only offer ONE emergency slot a day, where they said they would only pull one of them. I had a severe infection in my jaw that was spreading, and even with antibiotics they confirmed that I needed them removed ASAP or I would keep getting infections ASAP to them meant August. Luckily I found a great dentist in Shakopee who did the procedure same day. Could have lost my jaw and the only response was "try again for the emergency slot tomorrow"
