I cannot say enough great things about South Austin Dentist and their friendly, caring staff. They make me feel very comfortable and I honestly don’t dread going to the dentist … More anymore. They’ve helped with fillings and give great, gentle cleanings. I was referred to them by a coworker after being unhappy with other dentists around town. I highly recommend Dr. Van Wicklen & team!

I had a terrible tooth ache that has lasted for 2 weeks...I finally couldn’t take the pain anymore. I found this office and gave them a call. The receptionists are so sweet they … More got me in immediately for an emergency. The dental aid and dentist were both very kind as well. They gave me a quick dental over look to fix the problem, got me a script and even gave me two complimentary numbing shots to help with my pain immediately. I felt very warm and welcomed with no judgments in this office and that is hard to find. Not to mention I have no insurance and they were able to help me set up payment arrangement for extraction. I was in and out in less than an hour and I feel much better.
