Patient Reviews

Duane MacWilliams

My satisfaction with the dentistry community in Anchorage hasn’t been the best. Seems there has been at least one weak link with every office we've been at. You and your staff have been the exception. As a customer, I have high standards when spending my money for services. You and your staff rate excellent in my opinion. Thank you for your dedication to your profession and for your excellent customer service. I look forward to having the rest of my family share my experiences with you and your staff.

Sincerely, Duane MacWilliams

Thank you for seeing me so quickly even though I was a new patient. Anita (assistant) treated me so well! Most professional dental assistant I have ever seen! Such excellent attitude and very kind. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

Joy RDH

I really appreciate you and your staff. You are making me a better Hygienist. You are by far the most talented dentist I have ever worked with.

New to town, or just tired of being treated like a money cow for another dentist? Well, take your business here. The staff is nice, and knowledgeable. You don't wait to go in. The music is great. Everything is clean. And Dr. Pauli is wonderful: competent, warm, kind, and honestly cares about you. I am so glad I decided to go here, and you will be, too.

To Dr. Pauli & Staff,

Thank you for your excellent customer service as well as your excellent dental care. It is very rare today for businesses to listen to a customer/patient and respond so curteously and kindly.

I am very thankful that when my husband returns from being deployed I will be able to give him a glowing report of your office – especially because we still need quite a bit of dental services. :-)

A grateful patient,
Rebecca Coffman & Family

Dear Dr. Pauli,

This letter is long overdue and has been much on my mind. Please know how much I appreciated, and continue to appreciate, all you did for me while I was your patient. You always treated me very professionally, with respect and in such a kind way. Your work is beautifully done and you go to great lengths to be sure that it is the best it can possibly be.

I Highly recommend Dr Richard Pauli as a Dentist. The care I received has been excellent!

Dr Pauli is skilled, knowledgeable and also well-regarded by other dentists. I have had teeth cleanings and also a root canal (remarkably very minimal pain). I am very happy with the quality of the work done. Professional and thorough.

Shelly, his receptionist, does a great job on handeling insurance/computer matters and is well-organized. His entire staff is a good group of professionals. My experience as a patient has been very positive.

Sincerely, James

Dr. Pauli is the only dentist I've ever trusted. I just got a crown finished today from a different dentist and it really made me wish I was still living in Anchorage. He's always made sure my teeth are perfect before I leave the chair.

Dr. Pauli made two crowns for me a few years ago and they are great. I know for sure how great they are now that I have a sucky crown to compare them to. The one I got finished today has a poor margin(?)...whatever the area is between the bottom of the crown and the gumline. I'm afraid it is not a good seal. And also my bite is terrible right now. I'll have to go back and ask them to work on it.

What I'm trying to say is that Dr. Pauli would never say the work is done unless it is perfect. Also, if the same hygienist is there from a few years back, she is really nice.

Hi Dr. Pauli......I went to a new dentist who was recommended here in Idaho on Wednesday--I know....felt like I was CHEATING on you! Anyway, both the hygienist and the doctor complimented the nice crowns and dental work that I had so I wanted to pass that along and thank you for all of your years of care and friendship.  Take care.

"So I was thinking this morning while I was using my NEW SONICARE TOOTHBRUSH what great professionalism that your office provides. My wife (Judy) and I are new clients/patients of yours and will continue to be. Our new baby Cadyn (4 months old) who has yet to grow teeth will enjoy your office in the years to come.

Thanks again from both Judy and I."

Jeanne Sprague

"When Dr. Pauli recommended that I have some missing teeth replaced with implants I was hesitant. However, the entire procedure was far less traumatic than I had anticipated. It was relatively painless, was done quickly and healed rapidly with no complications. I would recommend this procedure and Dr. Pauli and his staff to anyone.

"I have been seeing Dr. Pauli for dental care and work for close to 30 years.  He is a competent, thorough professional with a soothing manner.  His expertise and knowledge are second to none.  The office staff is always polite and easy to work with.  I bring my three daughters to see him for dental care, as well, and he is as gentle with them as I could ask anyone to be.
As a professional fitness athlete, presentation is a very important part of my sport.  Healthy, white teeth and a self-assured smile play a big part in a winning presentation.  Thank you, Dr. Pauli, for giving me the confidence I need to step on stage knowing I look the absolute best I can."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Pauli's since I was a teenager in 1973. Since then I have married and raised two children who have also received dental care from Dr. Pauli over the years. My girls have always felt relaxed in his office and have never been afraid to go to the dentist. He has been very personal with my husband and I as well as our daughters. We often share hunting and fishing stories and catch up on family. He is compassionate about his work and has taken great care of our teeth. We feel welcome in his office and enjoy our visits with Dr. Pauli."
