Other Professional Accomplishments

I have been a patient of Dr. Myhre for almost ten years, and I continue to be impressed and pleased by his professionalism, clinical skill, attention to detail, and his laser focus on clear communication which starts with astute listening throughout every visit. Due to complications from traumatic dental injuries, I have seen many dentists and specialists over the past 40 years. None have compared to Dr. David Myhre. Dr. Myhre and his staff are the best at what they do. I wish I would have found him sooner. We are still telling our friends and enemies about y'all, which is hopefully the best kind of review.
