Fantastic experience: Great lamb. Ate at the bar. Friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for years. I travel from Philadelphia for all my dental needs. Each staff member has earned my trust with their professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and welcoming spirit. The only place I will go for my dental care.

Dr Krohnfeldt and Carrie
Fantastic experience: I am a fan of Academy Dental and have been for several years now. This past week, upon showing up for my routine appointment after receiving several text reminders, I was greeted by a very pleasant front desk (sorry, I did not get names) receptionist followed by 'Debbie' greeting me in the waiting area and introducing herself and walking me back to the 'chair'! I share these not-so-trivial points as I had an exceptional experience...again, and that was at 7:25 in the morning! That is my point...it is like I just wrote, every time I encounter any and every aspect of ADC, I am met with professionalism, service orientation, education and timeliness/promptness. It's so impressive and consistent. Keep on! Thank you, All!
Hi Tom,
We're so glad to hear your experience over the years has been great! We have exceptional providers and it’s great to know you feel welcomed by our professional team and that your appointments are on time. Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review—we truly appreciate your support!
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: Dental care has always been a priority to me. This office has given me quality care with quality service! Thorough, professional, caring people with the office to back them up. I can’t say enough good things about this office!
Hi Debbie,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our dental office! Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re thrilled you had such a positive experience!
Dr VanLeeuwen
Fantastic experience: Academy dental care is probably one of the best dentistry in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been going there for over 20 years twice a year and my hygienist. Debbie is not only very professional, but has a wonderful caring personality.. If you’re looking for Highly qualified dentists and hygienists this is the place you should look into.
Hi Michael,
It's been a pleasure taking care of you all these years! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are always so happy to see you at your visits!
Debbie
Fantastic experience: Dr Schoenfeld and his staff are incredibly competent and professional, yet fun and friendly. I felt at ease immediately and Dr Schoenfeld exudes a personable confidence that I appreciate. This is a wonderful dental office. Do not hesitate to receive your dental care at Academy Dental Care
Jan,
Thank you for your review! We love to take care of our patients!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: 5 stars for certain over my last 2 visiits, an emergency crown and cleaning. Dr Gallagher, Tish and Carrie were all exceptional and provide the quality care that I have come to expect from ADC team. Every dentist and staff member is on board with the team approach. Highly recommend. Another great experience with the ADC team. I just fractured a ceramic crown by biting into a solid fragment in a power bar. I called Monday afternoon to see if there were any openings for a crown replacement and a temporary crown and I was worked in the following day with Dr. Krohnfelt and Tish as his assistant. Both team members treated me like I have been accustomed to for so many years now. Always a friendly competent team approach resulting in a quick positive result. Very happy with both Dr. Krohnfelt and Tish's efforts. Great team. .Again a 5 star rating. Always prompt and efficient and very friendly team. Got to meet new dentist Dr. Kronfelt and he seemed to fit in with the wonderful team at ADC. Love the team approach. Now 3 superb dentists to provide a wide range of services.Excellent care and service for many years. Seems everyone that works there enjoys job. Superb results. Always impressed with Dr Gonzales and Dr Gallagher. All their support staff is very prompt and courteous. I have Carrie as my hygienist who always does exceptional work. All of the nice ladies at the front desk take an extra step to be polite and informative. Just had semi annual cleaning with Carrie and am always impressed at team approach ADC utilizes. Dr Gonzales came in and reviewed xray and fit in invisalign check up too. Always good team work and a friendly and efficient environment from everyone.
Dear John,
Thank you for your kind words. I am so happy you get the sense that we enjoy working together because we do! And we love taking care of patients like you. Hope you had a great 4th of July!
Sincerely,

Drs Gonzales and Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: My childhood experiences with dentists was terrible. It was only out of necessity that I called this dental office. The service, kindness, compassion and communication at Academy Dental Care, especially Dr. Krohnfeldt and his team, has been outstanding. I can now eat…..pain free.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Dental care. The staff at Academy Dental Care are very kind and helpful. I felt comfortable I would say the best experience ever in a Dental office. I will recommend to family and friend. Thank you everyone especially the receptionist Katherine and my amazing Hygenist Carrie.
Fantastic experience: The staff at Academy Dental Care do a great job - they’re professional, thorough and friendly. My hygenist is Debbie and dentist is Dr. Shane Krohnfeldt. I’m very happy with both of them and plan on staying here for the long term.
Michael,
Thank you for leaving a review about our office!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kronfeldt Has been very helpful in going above and beyond to fulfill my dental needs… And always with a smile and positive recommendations. My hygienist, Carrie, is very experienced and Knowledgeable. She informs me of all dental procedures (x-rays)with educational care advice as well… Many pleasant visits!
Negative experience: The care is great at Academy Dental. The only problem that they now have is they are out of network For Delta plans which is very unfortunate especially now since everybody has been dealing with higher prices and inflation. for this reason, I only give them two stars.
Fantastic experience: My first dental visit with Academy Dental care was extraordinary! They were polite on the phone, got me in quickly for a chip repair. Then, from the moment I walked in, I was thoroughly impressed with every single staff member and all their little touches to elevate the patient’s experience. Dr. VanLeeuwen had phenomenal bedside manner and took her time to explain the root issue of what I was experiencing. She then gave me a plan I felt comfortable with to treat it. Diondra was also incredibly personable, kind, and reassuring. I am highly impressed with my entire experience with Academy Dental and will definitely be recommending them to all my loved ones! Great job!!
Hi Melanie,
Thank you so much for your kind words. This is what we strive for every day, so we love to hear when we've hit the mark! Can't wait to see you again!
Dr Vanleeuwen
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful visit! Monica is so amazing and thorough. Academy Dental Care is a wonderful practice and I would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: To my mind, dentist's offices are not my favorite places, but ADC is the exception to that rule for me. It's beautifully organized and beautifully run. The personnel from top to bottom couldn't be warmer or more professional. The management is seamless, from the outstanding computer services to the front desk greeters. And the dental service is superb. You can't do any better than that. I'll back ADC to my last tooth. Thanks, ADC, for the great work. Em Hall
Fantastic experience: Dr. K is patient oriented, and I'm impressed with his practice of documenting everything so that my insurance will cover as much as possible.
Fantastic experience: I was quite nervous about having a couple of my teeth scaled, especially since I am allergic to numbing agents. Debbie was incredibly kind and guided me through the entire procedure, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. Her skill and expertise made the scaling feel as comfortable as a regular cleaning. I am truly grateful to Debbie and to everyone at Academy Dental for the excellent care I received.
Fantastic experience: My first visit and now I have a dental team that is superb.
Fantastic experience: They are on schedule with your appointment time. Beautiful interior design with lots of light that gives a comforting atmosphere. The staff is professional and personal. As a "frequent flyer" dental patient (sadly) Academy Dental is a 5 star experience.
Pat,
Thank you for the thoughtful review!
Dr Gallagher
Fantastic experience: Academy Dental Care is like a home for me. Dr Chelsea Gonzales is very nice along with Jennifer and of course my hygienist Carrie a very caring person. Thank you for taking care of me from the very beginning and until now. I’m not shy to smile anymore and have more self confidence than before. I am very satisfied the outcome. They are so warm,friendly, compassionate and very professional.❤️
Negative experience: Based on a recommendation I saw on Reddit, I called this office to make an appointment. I explained my purpose and scheduled a tentative date to visit. When I mentioned that my dental insurance is Delta Dental, the staff member seemed annoyed and informed me that they do not accept Delta Dental, meaning I would have to pay out-of-network. I asked how much the difference would be for out-of-network payment, but she responded abruptly that it “depends on the patient and situation” and ended the call. If you have Delta Dental insurance, I would not recommend calling this office—it was a frustrating and unproductive experience.
Fantastic experience: Went in for a routine checkup it was a very pleasant experience. Debbie did a great job very Thor all answered questions that I had and did a good job!
Lucille,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review!
Dr Krohnfeldt and Debbie
Fantastic experience: I don’t have enough good words to describe Dr. Krohnfeldt and his team at Academy Dental Care. Not only is he exceptionally skilled, but he’s also one of the kindest and most caring professionals I’ve ever met. Dr. Krohnfeldt has helped me through two difficult dental situations—one quite traumatic—and he made each experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. He went above and beyond to coordinate my care, personally ensuring that my appointments and referrals were perfectly aligned with other providers. He stayed in close communication with everyone involved and even gave me his personal cell number so I could reach him if needed. He consistently checked in and followed up, which meant the world to me. After being with my previous dentist for nearly 30 years, I was nervous about making a change when he retired. But from my very first visit with Dr. K., I knew I was in excellent hands. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion truly set him apart. Academy Dental Care’s commitment to exceptional service is unmatched. I can’t recommend Dr. Krohnfeldt highly enough. Thank you for everything, Dr. K.!
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! Your words mean the world to us! Thank you for the confidence you've shown in me. I look forward to seeing you at your future visits!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: I had significant dental work done and could not have gotten through it without Erika and Dr. Krohnfeld. All of what needed to be done was completed brilliantly and my teeth feel great. What impressed me most about this practice and especially Erika and Dr. K, was how respectfully, politely, and calmly they worked together as a team. They make every effort to make you, the patient, feel comfortable and at ease, explaining everything to you as the go.
Hi Eve,
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are so glad that your teeth feel great! We love to create a comfortable environment for our patients. We look forward to your next visit with us!
Dr Krohnfeldt and Erika

Dr. Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: I want to start by thanking Dr. Chelsea Gonzales and her right arm assistant Jeniffer, for the remarkable and professional dentistry work they performed on me. They are compassionate and made sure I was comfortable and pain free. I now have multiple crowns and veneers that saved my teeth, making eating and chewing possible. The esthetics look so natural and I appreciate the staff at Academy Dental Care including my hygienest Berta!. I highly trust and recommend Dr. Gonzales and her staff for all your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: Everything was just wonderful! Such a beautiful office and everyone was so friendly, nice, helpful, and knowledgeable! It was such a pleasant experience and I totally and completely trust Dr. Gonzales! She is absolutely the best!
Fantastic experience: I am handicapped and they make every possible accommodation to make dental care easier for me. The entire staff is welcoming and kind. Clearly they have a goal for extraordinary customer service. I have never known any medical facility that is as systemically aligned With a goal of making you comfortable while in their care. They are also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. I feel comfortable in their hands.

Fantastic experience: Half of the porcelain crown on my molar broke off! Naturally it happened on a Friday. I called Academy Dental and they got me in on Monday at 8 am. My dentist was Dr. Shane Krohnfeldt. He was kind, listened, and understood exactly what I needed. He is highly competent and professionally trained in LVI dentistry. My dental assistant was also very kind and nice. I love this place.
Terri, Thank you for your review of your recent experience! Happy to help.
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: The best dentist experience ever ! The whole office has been great me, I had a lot of dental work done and I just finished it off with 6 veneers. By far the best dental experience I’ve had. Dr. VanLeeuwen is the best dentist I’ve ever had , very knowledgeable and easy to talk to ! Her and D work great together and always make going into the office an easy task. I look forward to going to the dentist now !
Kat, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love having you in our dental family and look forward to many years of dental health ahead.
Dr VanLeeuwen
Fantastic experience: I visited academy dental care for a new patient exam and cleaning and really appreciate the staff’s experience, willingness to take their time to explain all procedures and answer questions. Dr. Gonzales and Debbie (the hygienist I saw) were incredibly kind, personable and informative. I could tell that they truly care about the work they do. I’m so grateful to have found them and highly recommend them.

Dear Ruth,
Thank you for your review! Always great to see you and I look forward to your next visit! - Dr. Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: I love Academy Dental Care. The staff are warm and helpful which tells me that management treats them well. The hygienists are excellent. I've never before been so well educated regarding how to improve the way I care for my teeth. They watch my dental health carefully, too, giving me confidence that I won't have any surprise issues. Dr. Gonzalez is caring and attentive. I'm retired, and at the age where problems arise. I feel 100% confident in trusting Academy Dental Care with my dental health and I highly recommend them!

Hi Tatiana,
Thank you for the kind words!
Dr VanLeeuwen
Negative experience: Had a great experience until my insurance changed. Then I was met with condescending attitudes. Update: 7/23 per their condensing response…. I rest my case.
Hi S A,
I am so sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience with our business team. We have patients with all types of insurance, so I can’t imagine an insurance change would create a hurdle for you to continue receiving care in our office. I want to help make it right. I would normally reach out to you, but we do not have a patient with the name S A. I invite you to reach out to me directly so I can help resolve your issue. Please call me at your convenience 505-828-2020.
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed seeing my dental hygienist, Berta even though I wasn't scheduled to see her. I saw a different dental hygienist for the first time in over 20 years. Liz made me feel comfortable and she did a good job. If I should ever need a replacement for Berta she would be the one. I traveled from Colorado to get my cleaning from ADC.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review about our practice!
Liz and Berta
Fantastic experience: This is a very well organized, thorough and professional practice. After my hygienist visit today, my teeth are clean and smooth.
Hi Susan,
Thank you for leaving a review about our practice!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Academy Dental Care is the best! From the moment I entered the building to the moment I left, I received excellent care. First of all, I was greeted warmly by the front office staff. After a very short wait, I was kindly ushered to the exam room where I received a thorough exam and painless cleaning, all thanks to Stephanie! When Dr. Krohnfeldt came in, he too greeted me with kindness and respectful professionalism. It was very evident that he truly cared about me as his patient. Dr. Krohnfeldt’s exam was also very comprehensive. He asked if I had any questions or concerns about my oral health and gave me a great description of his findings after his exam. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Krohnfeldt is my dentist and that Stephanie is my hygienist! Thank you, Academy Dental Care, for such a great visit to the dentist!
Dear Kristen,
Thank you for leaving your review about our practice! We love taking care of our patients.
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: It was my first time here and there’s no better experience I’ve had at a Dentist. I’ve always had anxiety and I haven’t been treated correctly for some of my treatments which have let me to have bigger dental problems… They were straight forward and kind, gentle and very professional. My anxiety melted away right when they started. They’re costumer service is off the roof! I am glad to go back to the dentist office next time and that’s a first for me! I loved that they have a payment plan very accessible for everybody, everything was worth every penny. Thank you the Deondra and the Doctor! They were amazing
Hi Clow,
Thank you for leaving a review about your experience here at Academy Dental Care!
Dr Krohnfeldt and Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: Dr K and Carrie were very concerned about my dental discomfort and problem solved with me until the issue was resolved. They were very kind and understanding. My visits are always painless.
Dear Janice,
Thank you for leaving your review about the team at Academy Dental Care!
Dr Krohnfeldt and Carrie
Fantastic experience: After lots of research I found Academy dental to be the only dentist office in Albuquerque that did Bioclear bonding of black triangles. I saw Dr. Shane and I am beyond pleased with the results. He made me feel very comfortable and talked me through the process. To top it off the office is beautiful and I really enjoyed bird watching out the window while waiting for the procedure to start. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Andrea,
Thank you for leaving such a detailed review about your experience here!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: I came to Albuquerque with a phobia for dentists. With dumb luck, I picked Academy Dental on the basis of their website. The best choice I ever made! They fixed several old crowns painlessly and got my dental hygiene corrected. The care and attention is first rate and now, after over two years, I have no fear! Great professional care.
Dear Michael,
We are so happy you found our office. It has been a pleasure to take care of you.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
Fantastic experience: Dr. Chelsea Gonzales is the best. Extremely competent and personable. The best dentist I have ever had. Monica, my hygenist takes great care and provides excellent service. I highly recommend these individuals.
Stan,
You are the best! It is so fun to catch up with you at your visits. You are always so kind to the team and just a joy to have in the office. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales & Monica
Fantastic experience: I've lived in a lot of different cities, seen many dentists over my lifetime. Dr. Gonzales is by far the best!! And her staff are also wonderful. They are friendly, welcoming, and always make sure you are comfortable and well cared for. Dr. Gonzales is all of that, and also extremely skilled. Best dentist, best office by far!!
Dear Laura,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to share about our office. I always enjoy seeing you at your visits.
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: From reception to post-appointment, everything was a breeze! If you have teeth and love in Albuquerque, you NEED to use this practice!! The best in town!
Fantastic experience: I have been an Academy Dental for 13+ years and always received professional and caring service from the front desk to hygienists to the dentists. Todays visit was no different, Carrie did an outstanding job of evaluating and cleaning my teeth and Dr Shane Krohnfeldt checked to make sure everything looked good. Thanks to all.
Fantastic experience: This is just the best practice! Perfect blend of personal and professional. The office is immaculate, beautiful, and well managed. My oral health is the best it's ever been, thanks to their caring guidance. My entire family uses ADC. We're one smiling bunch.
Thank you Carol, we're so glad that you had a 5 star experience!
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales and Team
Fantastic experience: The best dental practice in ABQ! Office is clean, friendly, efficient, relaxing, and the staff is amazingly talented! Carrie, the hygienist is so thorough, caring, and easy to talk to. The Dr.s are all wonderful and skilled at every aspect of their work. 5 stars for sure!
Fantastic experience: My dental phobia is real. And I’ve had it since I was little. Seeing Dr. Gonzales at Academy Dental has really helped me get my phobia under control. I no longer require xanax to go to the dentist! When I first started seeing Dr. Gonzales in May 2024, I had no idea of the amount of work I needed done and how bad my bite was despite me having traditional braces as a kid for four years. I learned then I would need braces to correct my bad bite and protect all the dental work I was about to have. I spent many months getting an implant, crowns, build ups, and a couple filings before I could get into my braces. Here we are in March 2025 and I am 3 days into my braces. I am so thankful for Invisalign and Dr Gonzales and all of her incredible staff!! With as much as I have been to the dentist now, and with all the work I’ve have done, I’m pretty sure my dental phobia is gone. Thank you Dr Gonzales and Academy Dental!
Fantastic experience: Once again, I love the professionalism and the smoothness in my appointment at Academy Dental. I had a filling replaced, which was not properly filled many years ago at a different clinic, and what a smooth and seamless procedure that was for Dr Gonzalez! I cannot speak more highly of their clinic.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Chelsea Gonzales and the team at Academy Dental! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. Dr. Gonzales is truly exceptional—she is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and thorough in explaining every step of the process. She takes the time to ensure you’re comfortable and listens to any concerns with genuine care. Her gentle approach made my visit stress-free, and I left feeling confident in the care I received. The office is modern, clean, and well-run, making each visit a pleasant experience. If you’re looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares about her patients, Dr. Gonzales is the one to see. I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing dentist!
Dear Bridget and Dan,
I appreciate you taking the time to write such kind words. It means a lot to me. I look forward to seeing you at your future visits!
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: I'm happy to rate today's visit with Five Stars. Everyone did an excellent job! Thank you too you all. Berta is the best! I always enjoy working with her. Outstanding job!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gonzales is awesome. So is Monica who cleans my teeth. My teeth look great. I also have issues with medications I've taken in the past to treat cancer and Dr. Gonzales Ihas done everything to help minimize potential side effects in the future. I'm very happy with this practice and highly recommend it. The office staff are professional.
Fantastic experience: Die to a move, I was looking for a new dentist.. I chose Academy Dental and I am glad I did. Everyone there made me feel welcome and comfortable. Jessica, Carrie, Monica and the Dentist who saw me were great. They explained everything in detail and made sure if I had any questions they were answered. Love this place and highly recommend.
Dear Rudy,
Thank you for leaving us a review! It was so nice of you to mention each person’s name. We appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Monica
Fantastic experience: Debbie is my hygienist, Dr. Krohnfeldt is my dentist. They are awesome!! I always feel heard and taken care of and they are so invested in their patients. This is a wonderful practice. They will take care of you!
Patricia,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s great to know you felt welcomed and comfortable throughout your visit.
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have found Academy Dental on Holly Ave. in Albuquerque. When we moved here from Colorado in the Spring of 2023, we had no idea which dentist would be a good fit for us. I read many reviews online, but it was overwhelming with so many dental practices listed in the area. I finally decided on Academy and am so glad I did. The Front office staff, Hygienists (mine is the amazing Stephanie), Assistants and Dentists (I usually see wonderful Dr Kronfeldt), all make visits to the dentist much more pleasant than I have ever had anywhere else! I highly recommend this practice if you want a professional, caring and intelligent dental practice!
Marla,
We’re so glad to hear you’ve found your dental office and that your experience has been both professional and welcoming. Your kind words mean so much to our team! Thank you for recommending our practice—we truly appreciate your support!
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Stephanie is an incredible asset to ADC! Very attentive, does great work, and makes getting teeth cleaned and very pleasant experience!
Fantastic experience: Had a very nice professional and welcoming environment starting from scheduling on the phone to walking in and even receiving my treatment. My husband was the first to recommend this place to me and I will definitely recommend to anyone with no hesitation
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Academy Dental by a friend after two other providers were unable to complete my restoration for two front bottom teeth. Dr. Krohnfeldt had no issues with problem solving the area and making an appropriate restoration plan that saved additional teeth and gave me excellent results. He and his staff especially Jen have given me back the confidence that there are superior providers available. Everyone in the office is kind and professional and provided the best possible care. They have obviously spent a lot of time and effort to keep up with modern techniques and equipment. Dont even hesitate if you are looking for a dentist in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. You will not be disappointed. Even Dr. Gonzales ensured when my crown came in that I received a call that day and my appointment was moved to the next day. I could not be more pleased with the outcome.

Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Everyone treated me special and made my time there very easy for me. They did an excellent job with the start of a new crown, a temporary was put on while the new one is made. Their work on me went well and they ensured my comfort.
Fantastic experience: I have never said this about a dentist’s office but, I love this place! Wonderful friendly staff and very thorough and professional. I am so happy with my new smile and feel with every visit they really care. I would recommend to anyone .
Fantastic experience: Wow! After years of dealing with significant TMJ symptoms (literally couldn’t eat sometimes from the jaw locking up, daily headaches, pain) took the leap of faith and tried a fairly new procedure that treats TMJ with an orthotic appliance and TENS treatment. The first night I wore the appliance I slept four straight hours and had no headache at all the next morning. Can’t thank Dr. Kronfeldt enough for such a dramatic improvement in my overall well-being! His genuine concern for my health and expertise in his field is commendable!
Polly,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am thrilled that we could help with your pain. Providing comfort and kindness is always our priority.
Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Dr. Krohnfeldt and Erika worked on my teeth today and both were so kind and cared that since I have major sensitivity to make sure I felt no pain. They constantly checked on my comfort. One of the most pleasant visits for going to the dentists. My former dentist recently retired from Academy dental who worked on my teeth for 30 years who was also amazing so nice to see that professionalism and comfort continues. Thank you!!!
Karen,

Dr Krohnfeldt
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shane Krohnfeldt is nothing short of a miracle worker, and by far the best doctor I’ve ever encountered in my life. Everything about his care is thoughtful, precise, and genuinely life-changing. He has an unparalleled ability to understand exactly what his patients need and want, addressing concerns with a mastery that leaves no room for doubt. Our smile is often the centerpiece of how we present ourselves to the world, and for so long, I felt unable to truly smile. Dr. Krohnfeldt changed that. Out of the kindness of his heart and with unmatched skill, he gave me a smile that has transformed my confidence and my life. His care is not only affordable but worth far more than its cost. The value he delivers goes beyond dentistry, he is saving lives through his work. He saved mine by giving me a new beginning with a perfect smile that shines in every interaction and has given me the key to dominate all encounters with any camera. I am excited to continue working with Dr. Kronfehldt to further refine and maintain my smile, as he understands the true meaning of perfection. His work is nothing short of masterful, and his kindness and compassion set him apart. Thank you, Doctor, for the gift you’ve given me. Your talent, generosity, and unwavering dedication are a blessing. God is truly with this doctor. You can trust him completely, he is the best in his field and an extraordinary person.
Jerry,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
Dr Krohfeldt
Fantastic experience: Very professional and welcoming staff. My dental assistant is always very nice. I have been a regular client for several years now. The office was very clean and well laid out. Very satisfied with the services I received as well. I didn't feel that they were pushy about getting optional or additional oral work done.
We are so glad you felt welcomed and enjoyed the team.
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales and Team
Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with the care I received at my recent appointment. My hygienist, Stephanie, was fun and energetic and she took extra time to explain each step of the cleaning. Academy Dental staff and leaders are a great team!
Dear Cindy,
We are so glad to hear you felt safe during your appointment. Thank you for sharing your experience with others. I love seeing your smile!
Sincerely,
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding experience at Academy Dental Care! My hygienist, Berta, was incredibly kind and provided a very thorough and gentle cleaning. When Dr. Krohnfeldt arrived to examine my teeth, he approached me with an affable greeting. He performed a detailed examination and professionally discussed my oral health with me in words I could understand. Thank you Academy Dental Care for a wonderful experience at the dentist office!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gonzales is a remarkable dentist who genuinely prioritizes her patients’ care. Academy Dental provides a clean, modern, and welcoming atmosphere that helps you feel relaxed right away. Dr. Gonzales takes the time to explain every procedure in detail and ensures your comfort throughout the visit. The staff is courteous, professional, and efficient, making each appointment a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Dr. Gonzales to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate dentist.
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have found Academy Dental Care with Dr. Vanleeuwen as my new Dentist. They are very thorough with their first visit. I had a follow up appointment for a new crown, and Dr. Vanleeuwen with her assistant, Diondria, made me feel so comfortable. You can tell they truly care about their patients. I appreciate you both so very much, and am so glad to have found you. Everyone at this facility is great! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Fantastic experience: Academy Dental continues to impress me. They always have the latest equipment and educate themselves on the most updated dental care, making each visit as stress free as possible. Yesterday, they finished off the appointment with a warm lavender washcloth to freshen up with! If anyone receives a filling the dentist always calls to check up that evening. My kids started going there as little children and continue to go back as adults because the level of care is exceptional. I never hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist office.
Lori and Josh,
It has been a pleasure to provide you and your family with worry-free dental care. Thank you for your thoughtful words.
Sincerely,
Dr Gallagher & Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough good things about Academy Dental. From the front desk to the doctors, everyone is extremely professional. I had an old crown crack and they fit me in immediately. The cleaning was very thorough. Great vibe in the office.
Negative experience: So incredibly disappointed and sad by how I was treated by Academy Dental's office "manager" Gabe and by their punishing fees. I was seen by Academy Dental for a crown, and despite the fact that they charged three times the amount of any other dentist, I hoped the quality would match the price tag and agreed to have the work done. After paying $2000 dollars out of pocket, and learning the day I had the work done that the only way they would "guarantee" the crown for the next 6 years was if I continued to see them for all dental care, I went in 2 weeks ago for a routine cleaning. Imagine my surprise when, at the end of the service I was charged not only a "co-pay" which I have never heard of for a cleaning when insured (i had already paid for and met my deductible with an initial visit a few months prior), but I learned that I somehow had another $500 balance due for the crown. When I asked why I was told the charges were "for services related to the crown that insurance didn't cover". How odd? I called my insurance company. . .they showed the balance they didn't pay, the one I would be responsible for, as matching the amount I had ALREADY paid at the time services were rendered. Must be a mistake right? I asked Academy Dental to review and give me an itemized reciept detailing what the new charges were. . .never recieved a thing. Left multiple messages for "Gabe" who is apparently supposed to handle these situations . . .ghosted. Requested my records and details of charges be emailed to me as it seemed Gabe might be avoiding speaking to me. . .gave him an easy opportunity to explain things via email. Again, nothing. So at this point, it appears the $500 of extra charges were unfounded and sadly it appears this office is only interested in price gouging, and taking you for all they can. I will also be pursing a case through the NM Board of Dental Health as they have clearly defined regulations about transparency, records, and fair pricing. All over $500 that I should NOT have been forced to pay. . .on top of $2000 dollars I had willingly already paid.
Dear Nicole,
I looked into what happened and I am so sorry we did not meet your expectations. I would like to make it right for you. If you are open to talking, please call me on my cell phone or here at the office. I left you a voicemail today with both phone numbers. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Gabe Gonzales
Positive experience: Only a four star because I feel whenever I call or have questions about my dental amounts, I get an attitude every time or she tries to fake it and act nice who is Jessica the business administrator. But other than that I enjoy my dental hygienist who is Monica who is very knowledgeable and polite, she’s the only reason I want to come back but when I do I have to deal with Jessica which I prefer not to anymore.
Fantastic experience: I just had a crown placed in my mouth. Wow! It feels so good and the process and the setting was so comfortable. I couldn't be happier. Thank you to Dr Chelsea Gonzales and Jennifer!!! What great work you do!
Fantastic experience: I had the most wonderful experience at Academy Dental from the moment I walked in. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I was listened to and my concerns were addressed. I was treated with respect and care. Everyone was very knowledgeable and professional, yet friendly. I am so happy that I found Academy Dental. I highly recommend this office.
Fantastic experience: The entire team at Academy Dental Care was amazing. From the ladies at the front desk, to my hygienist, Liz, to speaking with Dr. VanLeeuwen, my experience was one of if not the best I've ever had at a dental office. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and never once made the process feel rushed. In addition to their expertise, the communication between team members was impressive. You can tell that the folks that work here are passionate about what they do and really want their patients to feel valued. If I could give them more stars I would!!
Fantastic experience: Stopped in at the recommendation of a coworker. I live out of town and needed to be seen ASAP and the staff was extremely accommodating. From the front desk to the doctor, everyone was extremely polite and made sure I was comfortable while explaining their process with detail and care. Would definitely recommend this office to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Today, January 4, 2024, Carrie did an excellent job on my cleaning both upper and bottom denture which is permanent!! She gets a five star!!!! Carrie does a wonderful job! She explains everything and reminds me of processes I should be doing! Five star June 14, 2023 Carrie did a great job cleaning my teeth and I always feel better after my cleaning. I have the Four on One bottom dentures so it is difficult to keep clean.. I have scheduled an appt with Dr. Buttner in July and started on the meds for my infection. No pain, Thank you!! Sept 21,2023. Carrie did a great job! Again! Sept 12, 2024. Carrie did an amazing job and I love seeing her and all the staff! They are so polite!! Linda Hansen
Dear Linda,
Thank you for rating our practice!
Dr Gonzales
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the number of "state of the art tools" Academy uses to best examine in detail a person's dental health. Berta was fabulous! She's very professional and knowledgeable which she carries off with humor and friendliness. I felt very comfortable discussing my dental issues and history with Dr. Krohnseldt. And, everyone at the front desk was great with a shout out to Jessica!
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office was very kind, professional and personable. They were also very thorough with explanations and relieved any fears I had. I really enjoyed my visit and look forward to going back!
Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly and professional. I am surprised how much my hygenist remembers about my personal life. They certainly have a caring spirit. I recommend to everyone I know!
Fantastic experience: July 2021: I was looking for a place to whiten teeth. Upon arriving at the practice, I was greeted as if I had patronized the establishment for years. I believe Karla did my whitening and although my teeth are not as white as I had hoped; I was informed of other options. All in all, I was treated so well that I decided to switch my routine dental practice. December 2021: My first visit as a new patient was very thorough. Monica and Dr. Krohnfeldt took their time with me to ensure not only my comfort but to address any and all concerns regarding my dental care and therapy. I feel like I am in excellent hands. November 10, 2023 - Service is ALWAYS excellent! Couldn't be HAPPIER! Thank you. August 2024: Meet Berta Dental Hygienist. My first time with Berta. As always Academy Dental makes you feel like one of the family!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Such a warm and beautiful environment with an excellent and welcoming staff. My wait was minimal and care was prompt! Carrie, my hygienist was wonderful! She was thorough, gentle and very kind. My dental assistant was Erica and she was also very kind, efficient and very focused on my comfort through the procedure. Dr. Krohnfeldt was patient and following a thorough exam, made certain that all of my questions or concerns were addressed. I would highly recommend Academy Dental Care to family and friends!
Fantastic experience: Berta is the best Hygienist! Kind , patient, and has a sense of humor. Goes above and beyond, and makes sure gums and teeth are thoroughly cleaned. Cleans deeply, yet very gentle! Thank you, Berta! Back for my 6 month check up. Berta is always professional and a pleasure to be around. She is an excellent hygienist! Office is always kind and very efficient. Dr. Gonzales and team work well together.
Fantastic experience: This place always goes above and beyond the basics of care. From the drink options in the lobby to the friendly staff who all communicate with each other so seamlessly! Who else gives you a soothing warm towel at the end of a cleaning, these lovely folk! I also feel like they are trying to work with me to help me help myself in my oral care. Even though it's out of network for my insurance I still choose to come here because of the exceptional care.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Acadamy is great. Super friendly but also extremely professional and good at their job/role. It's amazing how many of the team has been there 5+, 10+, even 15+ years, so it's got to be a great place to work as well. I'm old so I've been going to the dentist 50+ years and this is by far the best dental experience I've ever had.
Fantastic experience: Literally the best dental office I have ever been to! The office is extremely clean. Every one is beyond friendly. The dentist is very informative. I will never go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Academy Dental is so refreshing. When I go, I rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes. All the staff and very polite and friendly. They have taken care of some major dental work for my family in compassionate, expert and the efficient ways. One time my tooth cracked in half on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Dr Kroenfeldt called me back in less than a half hour. He allowed me to contact him on his cell phone where I attached pictures of my tooth taken with my cell phone. I got an appointment for Tuesday morning after the holiday weekend to get it fixed. All I can say is WOW! That’s SERVICE!! Thanks! Nancy Lacher
Fantastic experience: The staff at Academy Dental Care are great at making me feel comfortable and appreciated as a patient. I look forward to my interactions with the team. Wonderful, warm people providing great care!
