Dr. Shortell has been caring for my teeth and oral health for 40 years. When I moved away I tried other dentists but always found that it was worth the drive to continue my care with Dr. Shortell a dentist who I trust, is truly caring, is knowledgeable, and has helped maintain my beautiful smile for four decades. (Thank you!)

I've been going to Dr Shortell for 6 years, and after nearly half a century of dental work in many different cities, I can say that Dr Shortell is the best dentist I've ever worked with. He and his assistant are equal parts friendly and professional. They never overbook and have never kept me waiting. In all of our interactions I've felt that he was extremely patient-centered, and certainly more interested in improving patient dental health than in lining his pockets. That attitude and the low overhead of their office keeps their rates *very* reasonable for the care received. Dr Shortell's skills and equipment seem to be top-notch too. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My dentist makes sure you are comfortable. The staff is friendly and thorough. My family has a history of early tooth loss but I am on my 40’s with great teeth. Amazing.

My husband & I have been seeing Dr. Shortell since ... well, let's just say it's been a long time! (We first started seeing him when he had an office in downtown Maplewood, before Maplewood was trendy/hipster.) His current office in Richmond Heights is clean, attractive, and functional, but certainly not glitzy, so you're not paying for frills. He does, however, keep up with the latest technology, so no worries there. And if he feels your dental problem would be better solved by a specialist, he'll tell you that.

He's always taken good care of us, at a reasonable cost. Contrary to what one poster said, his long-time office assistant, Glenda, does help him with some of the dental procedures, in addition to reception/bookkeeping and generally keeping the place running. And she does know a lot about dental insurance.

On at least one occasion Dr. Shortell has met me at his office after hours, to do an emergency temporary filling to replace one that fell out, so that we could leave on vacation as scheduled the next day. That, to me, says volumes about his caring for patients. Nobody loves to see a dentist, but it's a necessary thing, and Dr. Shortell makes it as comfortable and painless as he can.

This has to be the best dentist I have seen. He does the cleaning himself and makes sure your teeth are healthy. Great receptionist as well!
