“I absolutely hated going to the dentist before being referred to Dr Kathryn at Monona Dental. The entire staff always goes above and beyond to treat you with sincere care. They explain everything they do and take the time to answer questions. … Thorough is an understatement.”

“I typically avoid even wanting to think about going to the dentist but Dr. Kathy Giswold has changed that for me. She is incredibly skillful and caring. I have had a lot of work in the past and haven't ever had a dentist who could freeze my mouth without some amount of pain. Dr. Kathy has a technique second to none! She genuinely cares not only about my dental health but also my comfort in the chair!”

“Dr. Kathy and her staff are second to none. They are helpful and understanding in all situations. If you have a problem, they try to get you in as soon as possible. My husband and I have been going to Monona Dental for about 5 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr. Kathy understands how I feel about dental work and lets me decide when to do something if it is not needing to be done right away. She listens and cares. I love this group and so does my husband. They are awesome.”

“Dr. Kathryn Giswold saw my 15-month-old daughter last minute to check a chip on her front baby tooth. My daughter had never been to the dentist and Dr. Giswold was just a natural with her. And what blew me away was she wanted to just watch it rather than rack up my bill while she could. Dr. Giswold is clearly in the dental business for the right reasons. She appears to love people and caring for them.”

“Monona Dental is an amazing place. I have had several great experiences here over the past year. I came to them unsatisfied from another provider. They did everything to make it right, leaving my teeth much happier. I would highly recommend anyone to see both doctors they have on site.”
