Doctor Kaul is awesome. Never makes me feel bad if I have missed a cleaning or taken my sweet time to come in
Best Dentist Ive ever had. Great team.
Dr Kaul and his assistant, I believe her name was Kelly. Both very welcoming, made conversation and makes you feel comfortable, and attentive. Addressed my concern I was experiencing and made suggestions. Love that she took extra precaution when taking my xrays and used the shield seeing that I was pregnant. Kelly was very sweet!! Dr. Kaul was very polite professional and really kept in mind my pregnancy and making me feel comfortable with waiting until after I have baby to come in for the small work I need.
I love Dr. Kaul. He and his team are excellent. Any question I have, one of the team makes sure I get an answer. I recommend this dentist and his team to everyone!

Dr Kaul has a great sense of humor, which puts meat ease. Both he and his assistant Anna constantly ask if Im ok and to let them know if I get uncomfortable or in pain. which never happened.
Dr. Kaul is by far the best dentist Ive ever had. I trust his treatment and his work, and even though we moved 45 minutes away from the office, I still make the trip because hes the only one that understands my teeth!

Dawn did my cleaning and shes very good. I always schedule with her. Dr. Kaul also I request. They are the reasons I keep coming back to Dental Associates.
I saw dr. on initial exam. I was uncomfortable because he didnt actually face me when he introduced himself. He talked behind me and to the assistant, not me about by filling that fell out. I marked down in my history that Im stressed of dentist. I wont turn this paper in until I see him on Feb. 11 to see if I like him no not. As of now, Im afraid he wont listen of my concern -> He didnt talk to me - he talked to assistant.
Both Dr. Kaul and his Assistant listened to my concerns, explained the x rays and procedures while examining my tooth, answered my questions and spoke in a language I could understand. I appreciated their expert care!
Been seeing Dr. Kaul I think 20 years now.... would not change it.
My sister had him once and was also very pleased with him
Dr Kaul is a great dentist and a great listener to what patient want to accomplished for any dental concerns or problems. Additional he is great at what he does!

Dr. Kaul is a terrific dentist in all aspects.
nice. respectful and helpful.
Overall a very good experience.
I was very good experience from all.
Dentist did not ask if I was in pain. he was very rough. He did not take time to allow the numbing gel to work and immediately used the needle on my infected tooth. First time Ive ever screamed in any dental chair.
I Dont think I ever had a nicer dentist
cant beat Dr Kaul; I have the utmost confidence in his skill and attitude
You must understand DR. KAUL has been my dentist for 10 to 15 years and I would not change dentists. He is very professional yet friendly and conversational.

Dr. Kaul is AWESOME!!
Dr. Kaul and staff are always concerned about my dental plan. They always explain my options and let me know what I need to do to achieve a successful smile.
At my previous appt in Dec 2016, it was a 6-month recall/cleaning. Dr. Lenz saw me that day. She said I had one tooth in which the filling had cracked, so I needed it replaced, and another tooth right next to it that may have been cracked. I had questions about that, so when I got to my appt on Jan 5, 2017, I talked to the dental assistant about it, and she talked to Dr. Kaul. He looked at my chart, looked in my mouth, and explained everything to me. I only needed the one tooth to have the filling re-done. I didn't need the other one. I felt that Dr. Kaul explained his decision to me really well. He also gave like a play-by-play throughout the treatment, so I knew what was going on. I liked that.
I have total confidence in the ability of my dentist
excellent
All good -
They treated me very good.

Dr. Kaul is wonderful! I have been seeing him about ten years now. My beautiful smile is enhanced by his work!

LOVE working with Dr Kaul, He is by far the best Dentist that Ive worked with. If he ever leaves or goes to different D.A. office/branch I will follow. Has true passion/compassion, always answers questions and explains for patients. The team he has with him are PHENOMENAL

DOCTOR KAUL IS A GREAT DENTIST.
A+.
All personnel involved always very friendly and cheerful.
Always very helpful and give me their full attention.
Have been a patient at this clinic since the 1980's. They must be good at what they do for me to travel this distance.
He made me feel very comfortable
Would recommend Dr. Kaul to anyone.
I had a great experience, when asked to wait, my wait times were very short. The staff were all very courteous, professional, and friendly.
I didn't feel that I needed x/rays and exam. I just needed to have a filling replaced. I didn't feel that 2 separate appointments were necessary - two bills to pay!
good experience
It was an excellent experience. Dr Kaul explained the procedure so it was clear as to what was being done and Dr. was caring as to how I felt during the process. Robin also answered my questions.
Dr. Kaul is very very conscientious takes pride in doing an excellent job. He has put in crowns for me in the past.
First time I saw this dentist, so time will tell
Sometimes when patient go through a "big" surgery, it is normal they show their fear and concern, it will be helpful if the assistants and the doctors show more patience to answer questions, especially THE ASSISTANT, showing more understanding to explain more is definitely very helpful.
Doctor Kaul is a very good doctor. He made my visit enjoyable. Thanks - keep up the good work.
I had an appointment a week from this one for another filling. Since I got there 1/2 hour early Dr. Kaul was good enough to do both fillings and save me a trip.
Did not have appointment for hygienist but she still made time for me. I think that was going above and beyond.
Every time I go my experience is terrific. I never wait very long and the staff is fantastic.
good as usual
no complaints
shorten your survey.
your surveys are too damm long.
good like before
Dr. Kaul did an excellent job... my tooth and I didn't feel any pain during or after.

Dr. Kaul and his staff are the best!
Better than expected.
Answered all questions. Patient.
My Dentist is very good. Glad he is working with me
I came back a week later because a filling had fell out; I am having a little sensitivity in another one that was filled (the next day) and am hoping I don't have to return for it. I'm starting to get anxious about seeing dentist and I never have been
again, very nice- everything was explained and i was made very comfortable
A great experience, the dentist was profession yet compassionate which is a new approach compared to what I've seen in the past at other clinics.
Dr. Kaul made sure I felt no pain during the removal of the old filling, which I didn't. The discomfort I referred to earlier was the three times it took to get a good impression for the crown. That's because Dr. Kaul is a perfectionist
I always request Dr. Kaul!
Dentist is A+ professionally and in client care!
My dentist is very professional and friendly.
Dr. Kaul, is the best. He is kind, professional and he explains everything as he goes so I know exactly what is going to happen next.
Dr. Raul is a "true professional" concerned for the best interests of his patients.
Excellent in service.
I am hard of hearing; Dr. Raul made sure that I understood and heard him - He was very thorough and accommodating!
To live in Mukwonago which is 30 miles (45 min) away. I could go anywhere for dental treatment but choose to go all that way for Dr. Kaul. He is a dentist who is knowledgeable, professional and sociable. He puts me at ease because I like him and trust
Rationale for the treatment & explanation was given only after questioning, and he seemed defensive. The whole visit was quick - tough to establish a rapport.
Satisfied.
Very good I am patient 15 years in Dental Associates _____.
Could not ask for a better dentist.
I love coming to Dental Associate and I'm always recruiting others to come. You are the reason I love coming to the dentist again, no fear of pain or needles. I pay to see Dr. Kaul and staff.
Very good dentist!
Good experience.
Explanation of my choices of partials could have been better.
