Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

About Me

Care Philosophy

I believe in listening to the patient and making them feel comfortable and that they are more than a set of teeth. That the real passion in dentistry is care of people.

"I recently moved here to Scottsdale and went to Dr. Skaalen. I'm so happy he is so professional, honest, and does not try to up sell you. My old dentist told me I needed a root canal. Dr. Skaalen said he didn't see an infection and fixed the tooth. It doesn't hurt anymore. He's super honest. He's my new dentist for sure!"
