Dr. Beischel was amazing! Best dentist EVER! I strongly recommend him and the entire practice. He listened to my concerns, made me feel comfortable and explained everything first. They treated my like a was a part of their family. I am sending all my friends, family and co workers to him!

I make the drive from South Tempe just to go to Cholla Family Dentistry! Dr. Beischel and his staff are not only professional and knowledgable – they are extremely friendly and welcoming. Everyone treats you like family. I would highly recommend Dr. Beischel to anyone looking for a great dentist in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.








Pat S.
Always a pleasure – and I have not said that often about a dentist! Having implant surgeries – so well done, only discomfort, not pain afterwards. Very caring and personable.
