Iraqi women brutalized by Saddam
By Wendy McElroy
Before and after Sept. 11, politically correct feminists crusaded for Afghan women oppressed by the Taliban. By contrast, little outrage has been expressed over the treatment of Iraqi women under Saddam Hussein.
The silence may be currently appropriate -- feminist goals should play no role in forming foreign policy. But the contrast between the two reactions is puzzling, especially in the face of horror stories coming out of Iraq.
Amnesty International has documented the brutal executions of Iraqi women accused of prostitution. For example, Najat Mohammad Haydar, an obstetrician in Baghdad, was beheaded in October 2000 after criticizing corruption within local health services. According to another report, in October 2000 "a group of men led by Saddam Hussein's son Uday, beheaded with knives 50 young women in Baghdad. The heads of these women were hung on the doors of their houses for a few days."
The Iraq Foundation joins Amnesty International in chronicling human rights violations, such as the methods of torture in prison, which include rape and "bringing in a female relative, especially the wife or the mother, and raping her in front of the detainee."
Why then does the Feminist Majority site have a "Help Afghan Women" button but no "Help Iraqi Women?" Why does an Oct. 10, 2002 press release from NOW warn, "A U.S. invasion of Iraq will likely entail ... dangers to the safety and rights of Iraqi women who currently enjoy more rights and freedoms than women in other Gulf nations, such as Saudi Arabia."
Why does Women's eNews run an article by Yasmine Bahrani who states, "As it happens, women's equality is one of the few aspects of the nation's ruling ideology ... that has survived the brutality that has marked Iraqi political life."
The theme seems to be that Saddam may brutally violate human rights but his presence is good for women. For example, the Bahrani article mentions "a recent report" compiled under the auspices of the United Nations in which Iraq "scored highest in women's empowerment" for that region. (Saddam's motives are not mentioned. "Advances," such as mandating five years' maternity leave for women from employers and equal pay with men allowed him both to curry favor with the West and to regulate the economy.)
Without making a case for or against war, I question PC feminism's comparative silence on Iraqi women. The Bahrani article reveals one reason why. It points readers who wish more information to the Iraq Foundation site, which contradicts the article by stating: "The rights of women in Iraq are going down the drain, along with everything else ... In 1998, Saddam ordered all women secretaries working in government agencies be dismissed. Now there are new laws barring women from work altogether."
What is the truth of the situation? The horror stories are starting to mount. On Oct. 4, 2002, seven Iraqi women of different regional, ethnic and religious backgrounds sat on a panel entitled "The Unheard Voices of Iraqi Women." They recounted their personal stories of brutalization under Saddam's regime.
One of the women eloquently stated, "The Iraqi woman has endured torture, murder, confinement, execution, and banishment, just like other[s] in Iraqi society at the hands of Saddam Hussein's criminal gang." She added, "the Iraqi woman has lost her loved ones -- husbands, brothers and fathers." So much for the notion that Saddam can massively violate human rights while protecting those of women.
PC feminism has not ignored such testimony but neither has it embraced the cause of women in Iraq as it did those in Afghanistan.
Several reasons may underlie this apparent reluctance. A condemnation of Saddam may be viewed as an admission that Bush is correct on Iraq. And hatred of Bush runs deep in most feminist circles.
Moreover, the sheer cost of war with Iraq is seen to threaten funding to "pro-woman" causes within the United States in a manner that the Afghanistan conflict did not. This threat was one of two arguments presented against war with Iraq in NOW's Oct. 10 press release. (The second: Invasion might disrupt the rights women allegedly enjoy.)
Regarding money, NOW Action Vice President Olga Vives stated: "As has happened during previous wars, funds will be diverted from ... vitally needed social programs from an already downsized budget. Women will bear the greatest burden of any decrease in domestic spending in order to finance war."
Another source of reluctance could be that condemning Iraq's treatment of women could raise doubts about the accuracy the United Nations' reports, such as the one cited by Bahrani. PC feminism is deeply invested in such U.N. agencies as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination (CEDAW) to which Iraq became a signatory in the '80s.
Activists like Katrin Michael may force feminism to ask uncomfortable questions. Born in a Kurdish area of Iraq, Michael survived the infamous chemical attacks that Saddam used against his own people. Now lobbying in the United States, she is starting to receive attention from PC feminists.
Perhaps they will realize that to roundly condemn Saddam is not to argue for war. It simply gives justice to those Iraqi women who can no longer speak for themselves.

Title: Jesus' Triumphal Entry On Palm Sunday -- The Day He Was Presented to Israel As Their Messiah-King

"Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish and put an end to transgression, to seal up and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and make expiation and reconciliation for sin, to bring in everlasting righteousness (permanent moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies."
"Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Anointed One, a Prince, shall be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be built again with [city] square and moat, but in troublous times."
"And after the sixty-two weeks [of years] shall the Anointed One be cut off or killed and shall have nothing and no one belonging to and defending Him..." (Daniel 9:24-26a; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)
The remaining one week is found in verse 27, and refers to the last seven years of earth's history, the period which we know as the "Great Tribulation".
The term "Weeks of Years" was a common Jewish term. It meant literally seven (7) years. The term comes from God's commandment in Leviticus 25:3-4 to farm a piece of land for only six years, allowing it to lie fallow for the seventh. This seven-year period came to be known as a "week of years". Therefore, Seventy Weeks of Years was 490 Hebrew years.
Note this prophecy contains three parts:
1. 7 Weeks of Years (49 Hebrew Years)
2. 62 Weeks of Years (434 Hebrew Years)
3. 1 Week of Years (7 Hebrew Years)
At the precise point in history when the 7 + 62 Weeks of Years occurred, Israel could expect Messiah to announce Himself as Messiah. What great news! This means that Israel could not miss Messiah. All they had to do was to be aware of this prophecy, to count the weeks of years and be cognizant of current events in Israel as they unfolded.
The fact that the Jewish people allowed the fact that the "weeks of years" had come to completion at the time of Jesus' birth and ministry is one of the great tragic stories of the entire Bible, and one of Satan's greatest miracles. Once you understand the facts of this truth, your faith will dramatically increase.
This study will show us several things:
1. Why the Wise Men knew the time for Messiah was close.
2. Why Israel missed Messiah.
3. How this applies to us today.
Let us now consider the meaning of the prophecy.
The Duration of the Prophecy
This prophecy stipulated that Messiah would be presented to Israel and would be killed after 69 weeks of years had elapsed from its starting point. When we multiply 69 times 7, we understand that the time involved here equals 483 Jewish years. Since the Jewish calendar contains 360 days, we can easily see that this prophecy is precisely 173,880 days long. Therefore, we can expect that exactly 173,880 days after the prophecy started, Messiah would present Himself to Israel as their long-awaited Messiah-King.
The Starting Point of the Prophecy (Daniel 9:25a)
In this verse , God said the prophecy would begin "from the going forth (the issuing) of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem..." At the time God gave Daniel this prophecy, Israel was a slave nation under Babylon; however, God had foretold that this slavery would last only 70 years. This 70-year period was rapidly coming to a close; indeed, non-Jewish history records that the Medo-Persian emperor Artaxerxes issued just such a decree on March 14, 445 B.C. Therefore, precisely 173,880 days from this day should bring us to some significant event in Jesus' life which presented Him to the nation Israel as their Messiah.
The Mathematics Of The
A. The First Seven Weeks (49 Jewish Years)
If you study the book of Nehemiah, you will find the account of the Jewish pilgrimage to rebuild Jerusalem following King Artaxerxes' decree. The prophet Nehemiah assumed charge of this rebuilding effort, which was carried out in such extreme hardship and danger that the builders carried swords with them as they were building the walls. Thus was fulfilled precisely the prophecy in verse 25b,"...it shall be built again with city square and moat, but in troublous times."
This effort began in 445 B.C. and culminated in 396 B.C., exactly 49 years, just as foretold.
B. The Second Period (62 Weeks of Years, 434 years)
Daniel 9:26 foretells that the "anointed One" would come after this period and would then be killed. This wording is understood by most conservative scholars to refer to Jesus Christ, not at His birth, but at His presentation as the Messiah-Prince. (John MacArthur, Jr., "The Future of Israel", Word of Grace Communications, Panorama City, CA, 1985, p. 21)
"There were only two events in the life of Christ when He was officially set apart. One was His baptism and the other was His triumphal entry into Jerusalem." (Ibid.)
This latter event has become known as Palm Sunday. When did Palm Sunday occur? "The Messiah (Jesus) came to Jerusalem on Passover in the year A.D. 32, which was April 6." (Ibid.)
C. The two periods combined (7 + 62 = 69 Weeks of Years, or 483 Jewish years, or 173,880 days).
* When we count from March 14, 445 B.C. to April 6, 32 A.D., we have 477 years, 24 days. However, we must deduct one year because only one year lapses between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D. This gives us 476 years, 24 days or 173,764 days.
* Then, we must add 119 days to account for the 119 leap years during these 476 years (476 divided by 4). Now, we have 173,883 days.
* However, there is a slight inaccuracy in the Julian calendar when compared to the solar year. The Royal Observatory in London calculates that a Julian year is 1/128th of a day longer than the Jewish solar year. When we multiply 476 years times 1/128, we get three days. Subtracting three from our figure above, we arrive at the 173,880 days. (5)
Therefore, there are exactly 69 Weeks of Years (173,880 days) between the decree of King Artaxerxes in 445 B.C to rebuild Jerusalem to Palm Sunday, April 6, 32 A.D.!! God foretold to the day when Messiah would present Himself to Israel as their Messiah-King. We see this event recorded in Matthew 21:1-11.
But, immediately after Jesus' triumphal ride into Jerusalem on the donkey, when He was proclaimed the Messiah-King of Israel by the excited throng, Jesus is seen lamenting over Jerusalem and her inhabitants. Let us review this account in Luke 19.
Christ rides into Jerusalem in triumph - Luke 19:28-44
"And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Saying, 'Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.' And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him. And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out'. " (Luke 19:28-40)
On this day, Jesus fulfilled Daniel 9:24-26a to the letter, as He was proclaimed the King of Israel, on day 173,880 after the Medo-Persian emperor Artaxerxes had issued his decree that Jerusalem should be restored and rebuilt. What a wondrous day for Israel and for all the Jews who had been waiting for centuries for their promised Messiah!
All of Israel and all of Israel's leaders should have been expecting Jesus to be proclaimed as Israel's King on that very day. Official Israel should have turned out in force to greet their Messiah and they should have told the people months in advance that this mathematics of this prophecy was about to be fulfilled. Virtually all Israel should have been lining the road on which Jesus was riding, proclaiming that Jesus the Christ was the Messiah. Not only had Jesus fulfilled every single Messianic prophecy relating to His first advent, He was now going to be declared King on the exact day on which this incredible mathematical formula was scheduled to end.
At the end of the procession, Jesus should have been met by Israel's religious leaders, who would officially proclaim that He was the prophesied Messiah.
However, as we all know, none of this happened. In spite of this incredibly precise Messianic prophecy, Jews missed this prophecy fulfillment, while Israel's leaders were in the advanced stage of planning Jesus' murder on the cross, an event just five days away.
Why did Israel's spiritual leaders miss this incredibly precise prophecy?
The answer is really quite simple. Several hundred years before Christ was born, Jewish leaders began to believe and prop-agate two erroneous teachings. First, they taught that the sacred Scriptures could not be taken literally because they were not totally inspired by God, and thus contained errors. Secondly, they taught that prophecies were not to be taken literally, but spiritually. Prophetic books such as Daniel were not even taught anymore because they contained so much prophecy. After several generations had come and gone, each believing this nonsense, spiritual leaders of Jesus' day were completely unaware of this prophecy. Thus, they were unaware of the "time of their visitation".
Listen to Jesus' rebuke and proclamation of the judgment which would destroy Israel in 70 A.D. and disperse her population for the next 1,900 years.
"And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation." (Luke 19:41-44)
It is impossible to comprehend more serious words than this: you, oh Israel, are cursed because you "knewest not the time of thy visitation".
The significance of this study to today is both simple and obvious. The same wrong teaching concerning inspiration of the Bible and its inerrancy is occurring throughout this nation. Most people today are unaware that all 300+ prophecies concerning Jesus' Second Coming are coming to pass or have already occurred. These people are unaware that this has never occurred before. Too many pastors are so interested in increasing their pew-sitters so they can build a new church that they do not want to address the issue of prophecy being fulfilled in the daily news.
Therefore, many people will miss Jesus' Second Visitation, to their eternal peril.
Jesus said emphatically that we who are familiar with Second Coming prophecy would be able to know that He is close to arriving (Matthew 24:33). Jesus also told us what kind of attitude we Christians are to have as we see His Second Coming approaching; in Mark 13:37, He said, "What I say to you, I say to everybody: Give strict attention, be cautious, active, alert, and watch!" This means that each of us should be actively witnessing to our co-workers and friends, we should be very alert to world events as they are occurring, and we should watch our Scriptures daily so the Holy Spirit can keep us true to Jesus Christ as we enter this deceiving time.
We are so very close to the time when Jesus returns for His Church to take them away from the Great Tribulation. If you are not looking forward with anticipation to His Rapture maybe it is because you are not truly saved. Get your heart right with Him today. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.

God bless you.

Bill Peduto wins Pittsburgh mayoral election
Democrat defeats Josh Wander, Lester Ludwig
Democrat Bill Peduto won a landslide victory and a four-year term as Pittsburgh's next mayor. He captured 84.26 percent of the vote, compared with 11.51 percent for Republican Josh Wander and 3.46 percent for Independent Les Ludwig.
The 49-year-old Peduto won Tuesday's election in Pennsylvania's second-largest city, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1.

To the cheers of supporters, Mayor-Elect Peduto pledged the promise of what he called "a new Pittsburgh." He says the city is in a "tranformative" time and he promised an era beyond the "Renaissance" periods proclaimed by past Pittsburgh mayors.
"Pittsburgh is poised for something greater. We are the next great American city," Peduto said.
"That is the new Pittsburgh. That is what's here for all of us. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. We're going to do it together. Let's build a new Pittsburgh. Thank you," he told supporters.
After his speech, Peduto told Channel 4 Action News reporter Bob Mayo that he planned major announcements over the next five days regarding the formation of his administration. He said that would include national searches for a number of positions.
Peduto, who's finishing his 12th year on Pittsburgh City Council, won a three-way Democratic race in the May primary.
Wander sold his home in early September and moved to Israel to work as a security consultant. He returned to Pittsburgh few days ago to campaign and to vote. He'd said he had a rental home here and would have moved back to the city had he won the election.
At what was supposed to have been the first mayoral debate of the fall campaign, Peduto was the only candidate to show up.
Peduto will succeed Luke Ravenstahl, a Democrat who is not seeking another term.

UMass Lowell will resume on-campus instruction, research and campus life for Fall 2020. View the plan for more info.
Julia Gavin
Lydon Library has a new art exhibition space that will feature work by the University community. The work of Jessica Tawczynski, a senior painter, is featured as the first winner of the UMass Lowell Painting Award and Scholarship.
"Everyone's reactions have been great," says Tawczynski, whose paintings are on display for the month of September. "I'm really excited for the opportunity and appreciate the recognition and support. I paint for myself, but it's rewarding that others like my work and can get something out of it through this exhibit."
The newly redesigned gallery has space and lighting to display several pieces of 2D or 3D work. The changes and award are a collaboration between Vice Provost for Graduate Education Don Pierson, the library department and art department.
"It's important to recognize student accomplishments in all academic fields. I am always impressed by the quality of work in the Annual Student Art Show, and feel the outstanding talent should be displayed around the University, where it can inspire and be appreciated by many people," says Pierson, who also displays work by Tawczynski in his office. "The Lydon Gallery provides a wonderful venue for display. I am pleased that our Director of Libraries, George Hart, and art Prof. (Stephen) Mishol were able to coordinate this award."
The opportunity to reach a new audience on campus is exciting for Tawczynski. Many students have said they like having student art on north campus, and that they can connect her style to their studies. Her linear, deconstructed architecture paintings appeal to many of the scientific and structure-based students, several of whom have expressed surprise at Tawczynski's painting style.
"They've said that they didn't know art could be like this, and now they're more intrigued by it," says Tawczynski, referencing paintings that feature architectural references to both Lowell and Israel, where she traveled over the summer with fellow art students.
Visiting the desert region with ancient architecture flowing into contemporary buildings influenced her painting as well as her class choices. Her geology course has introduced a changing palette to her work, as her climate and weather class did last semester.
Tawczynski, who will graduate in the spring, feels that the award and exhibit are more steps in her progression as a professional artist.
"I didn't know painting as a career was an option before I got here," says Tawczynski. "But I've had a lot of different opportunities in my time here with materials, collaborations across departments and overseas connections that have shown me the possibilities. I already feel like a working artist."

VANCOUVER, WA -- Timothy Joyce, Nautilus Inc.'s general manager and senior vice president, left Nautilus on Friday, according to a one-sentence filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing gave no reason for Joyce's departure or information about a possible replacement.
Joyce's departure comes just a few days after Nautilus reported that first quarter sales were $72.1 million, down 44.4 percent from first quarter 2008. However, Nautilus also reported that day that it had reduced its debt from $52.9 million at the end of first quarter 2008 to $100,000 at the end of first quarter 2009.
As general manager, Joyce handled day-to-day operations, and the leaders of the company's three divisions reported directly to him.A call to Nautilus for details about the departure and Joyce's replacement has not yet been returned.

When your dental crown needs a fix, Spurr Family Dentistry is ready to help. For more information about dental crown repairs or to schedule an appointment, call us today.
I've always loved going to the dentist, but Dr. Spurr and his staff ALWAYS make it a great experience! I adore Julie - she is incredible. Everyone needs a Julie!! I have an appointment next week and I am very much looking forward to it!
Hands down the best dental office in the area and i have tried many different ones. Everyone is super friendly and helpful, they will work with your schedule. I had a root canal done recently and I've never had any major work like this done before but Dr. Spurr was great because he talked me through it and most importantly I could tell he was confident while working and It really put me at ease during the procedure. Also I was never made to feel embarrassed that I had let this cavity get this bad, whereas past experiences with other dentists in Kalamazoo have left me feeling judged... 10/10
Amazing, friendly staff, they really care about you and your dental needs. Would highly recommend.
I have been coming here for about 20 years....that should say it all! I luv this place! Everyone from Dr. Spurr to the office staff is friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable. They all make you feel like part of their family. I wouldn't go anywhere else!! Keep up the great work❤
Love this office! Everyone is super friendly and nice. They will work with your schedule and they always make you feel important. They explain everything they do in detail and always answer questions throughly.
Great Dentist. Highly recommend if your looking for a new Dentist with years of experience.
I am a HUGE scardycat! I HATE dental work, always have. But I was quickly calmed by the staff at Spurs Family Dentistry. From the moment I walked in I was warmly greeted and set at ease. So I will now be on the road to getting my dental health back to A-1 condition. Because I have total confidence in my new dentist and his staff. 😁
The BEST dentist I've ever gone to. Hands down... awesome work! His cosmetic work is on point! The Dr is very informative and pleasant. Very friendly and kind. Nice Dr and great staff.
Very friendly and informative.
I can always get an appointment relatively soon and everyone is always friendly. They're always happy to answer my questions and even call me to make sure I got the information. They also send text messages to remind you of upcoming appointments which is super helpful. My teeth are in great shape thanks to them!
The clinic itself is very welcoming in decor and staff. Everyone was extremely friendly, patient, and professional in both appearance and client interaction. They were extremely thorough, communicating my health to me at every turn and making sure I was comfortable and understood what was happening. Highly recommend.
DR. Spurr is a great Dentist. He is knowledgeable and thorough. His office staff friendly and helpful. And Julie the Hygienist is The Best.
You all did a great job. I've been impressed ever time I come in. Everyone is so friendly and skill level of each person has been great. I've had two teeth extracted and 4 teeth filled plus had my teeth cleaned. Each experience has been very good !!! I love this Dentist office.
Have been going here for all my dental procedures and i have yet to be disappointed, doctor and staff are very helpful. I tend to get anxious at the dentist and they always answer all my questions and i leave feeling awesome!
Dr Spurr and the great people who work with him are all AWESOME! Always very polite employees at the reception area. Brenda, a hygentist that I go to is super great to have work on your teeth! They all are very gentle, explain what they are doing as they work on your teeth, and allow you to have a say in your treatment. Dr Kilgore had this practice years ago, and Dr Spurr kept it going. I left once for a short period of time, and came back. I can honestly say I have been coming to this dentist office for over 50 years! Thank you all for such great care! Here's to 50 more!!!
I love my dentist. Dr. Spurr is friendly, efficient, and understands that dentistry is not supposed to hurt or be unpleasant. All of the techs have the midas touch.
Staff is super friendly, did and awesome job on my teeth cleaning.
Everything was done very well.
Super kind, very thorough
Great staff, Very professional 😁
Very good atmosphere, gentle and a nearly pain free experience. Thankful to the staff an God that I found this place.
The overall experience was so pleasing. I highly recommend Spurr family Dentistry. So family oriented, makes you feel as if you're part of their family. The atmosphere was so relaxing. I'm so pleased to have chosen a Dentist that cares about you and your dental care.
Best Dentisty I've been to.
Dr. Spurr and his staff are AMAZING. Very informative and gentle.
I liked everything about this place, staff very friendly and Dr Spurr very nice. Reasonable price without insurance , I can't wait to get my work done on my teeth.
Everyone is very nice, and did there best to get me in as quickly as possible. Only mild downside would be that it's a little warmer in the office than I'd prefer....when I'm already sweating from anxiety (dental phobia from previous/unrelated appts), it'd be helpful to have the room a little cooler. Otherwise, pleased with the service so far! ;)
Though they are very professional and know what they're talking about, the hygienists that I have had the past few times have been very relatable and so much fun. They make the experience of going to the dentist something worth looking forward to.
I have extremely bad anxiety with going to dentist. But he helped me in lots of ways. He got me anti anxiety medicine and talking me threw what he was doing every step of the way. He was very patient with me. Thank you so much. I Will be going back.
Wow! What a great office and wonderful staff. I've never felt more at home than I do here. They are really thorough, and explain everything they are doing and what's best to keep your mouth healthy. I would recommend them to anyone!
Julie was wonderful as my Hygenist- and Lindsey was awesome with my 9 yr old daughter- we will definitely continue to be patients- Thanks Spurr Family Dental.
Best dentist in kalamazoo!! The staff is so friendly and they treat you with kindness, have been going to this dentist for 9 years now and still loving it
Recent visit to do 6 fillings because I kept putting it off. They did great, got me in and out. Great staff

Great location with great staff. Friendly and quick services.
Great facility and great staff. Always get me right back to the room for my appointment, and the hygienists and Dr. Spurr are always sure to explain exactly what they're doing at every step.
Highly recommend!! Great service and care. Super friendly staff, informative, up to date technology. I haven't been to the dentist in a long time because of prior experience. This establishment i would look forward to returning. Outstanding!!!
Excellent service, as always.
Doc. John Spurr it's very professional, kind, that office staff like family!!! Love them all!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Spurr for 10 years. I love the practice , all the dental hygienist and staff.. They are very nice and professional. I would definitely recommend Dr. Spurr.
Friendliest service with quality care. Great atmosphere too. Highly recommended!
They were absolutely fantastic. I was having an issue with one of my teeth and despite not being a patient before, they were able to fit me in and evaluate me SAME DAY! They were all very kind and willing to answer my numerous questions. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Spurr.
Friendly, superior service is the norm at this practice. Cutting edge technology. Staff that takes the time to explain everything before you even think to ask. The Dentist Dr. Spurr is just awesome..
AWESOME STAFF! Everyone makes you feel so welcome. From the time I walked through the front doors, to the time I left. They spend quality time with you and don't make you feel rushed. Very pleasant experience!
I've been going to Dr. Spurr for some years now and I love it there. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't like going to the dentist but the staff definitely make the experience better! Thanks for your services and making every visit one to remember.
Great Doctor and staff. I've always had a good experience during my visits. Very professional and friendly. The office is clean, comfortable and modern. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Spurr to anyone looking for a new Dentist.
I love Dr Spurr and his entire staff Great dentist Office, great group of people!! If you need a dentist, I highly recommend #drspurr
I really like this office, they have a friendly and professional staff.
Very pleased, Bridget was very gentle with my mouth, and did a great job with the cleaning. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and courteous.
Staff very friendly and helpful after an usual delay before my appointment
I was in town visiting from Seattle and was able to get an appointment very promptly! The staff were all super friendly, warm and welcoming and did a wonderful job of making me feel at ease during my cleaning/x-ray appointment. I will definitely come back from a routine cleaning when I find myself in town again. Thanks again!
I brought my 3 year old daughter in for her first checkup and it was with Julie. She was AMAZING with my daughter! Even though my daughter was super shy, Julie kept plugging along and never stopped trying to make my daughter feel comfortable. I haven't loved all of the staff at this office, but Julie is by far the best and my reasoning for the 5 star rating...so request her!
thanks it was great now i feel better .
Staff is very attentive and friendly. Dr. Spurr is a nice dentist, with good follow-up. The office is beautiful and run very efficiently. I also appreciate how they double check on coverage before setting up procedures.
The staff at Dr. Spurrs' office is always so friendly and efficient! Their communication is superb. They are never pushy. Julie does a great job and Dr. keeps you informed of what needs to be done and how. When you leave, you're greeted by a big smile from Nic and he goes over your billing and makes sure everything is good with you before you leave. Certainly a new experience from an activity that most people cringe to think about. You almost want to look forward to visiting your dentist! Thanks, JD
My husband and I have been going to Dr. Spurr for a while now and recently started our kids there (4 yrs and 2 yrs). Yesterday, our 4 yr old had an appt and he wasn't really willing to get his teeth cleaned, so seeing that our 2 yr old was interested, they let him hop up in the chair and get his teeth somewhat polished and checked. They are so good with all ages and so willing to work with you and your kids and they don't push the kids when they hit their threshold.
just had a couple cavities done and i had no discomfort throughout the entire procedure. highly recommended if you're looking for a new dentist. thanks dr. spurr!
This dentist is AMAZING!! When I started going to Dr. Spurr I wasn't a big fan of the dentist.... it's been several years now that I have been going to him and I must say I look forward to my visits. Dr. Spurr is very friendly and puts you at ease. He explains everything he is going to do before he does it and I never leave the office in pain. That said, I know the visit wouldn't be the same without his awesome staff.... Jill and Nic in the front office are so friendly and make a point to say hi to you (by name) as you walk in. There's no walking up to the front desk to 'check-in' because they already know you. Finally- I enjoy how advanced this dentist office is.... flat screen TV's in each room, text reminders, email appt reminders... they keep up with the times. Highly recommend this Dentist for so many reasons.
All members of the team are friendly and welcoming. I always feel like I'm their only patient there. Love the views puts you at ease.
I always enjoy visiting Dr Spurr's office and everyone I see there. Jill and Mary are awesome and of course Dr Spurr is the best doctor in the wold! He's always gentle, kind and considerate. He takes his time and explains what he is doing at each step of the way to ensure you are having the most favorable experience possible. I wouldn't go to another dentist. Thank you Dr Spurr and Staff. Valerie V.
Love my dentist!
I look forward to visiting Dr Spurr's office and seeing the entire staff during my visits!! They all care for my family's overall well-being as much as they care for our teeth. Thank you for the good work, positive attitudes, and stellar customer service/patient care. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!
The best dental practice in Kalamazoo
As always, superb personal and professional service! Dr. Spurr and his team are the absolute best! If you are looking for a great dentist - you've found him! I LOVE MY DENTIST!!
Great Visit!
Always a good experience at Dr. Spurr's office! Friendly and professional staff that make you feel very comfortable. Great job!
High quality with a personal touch
Dr. Spurr and his staff are the top of the professional dental services. Julie is our DH for my 2 year old is seeing them. Unbelievable, so patient, professional, talks through my concerns and such a relief to see them. I know that my family dental needs are taken care of. The front office staff so good about insurance and telling upfront what is what. To the dental hygienist and of course Dr Spurr. Love them. Thank you for being you!!
very pleased with the service from Julie and the quick and painless from Dr.Lawrence...Glad to be able to do the drill and fill. BTW, my secondary health insurance is with Hartford Life & Accident Insurance Company///Hartford Life Insurance Company. Thank you. Dale B. Krueger
We have been patients for over 5 years and we couldn't be happier! My girls genuinely enjoy coming to the dentist appointments especially when they can put their names on the no cavity board. Each of the girls has won the raffle for having no cavities and they received a gift card for enough to get a book of their choice -They still talk about how much fun that was to get in the mail and what book they got every time we go in for a cleaning. I on the other hand have never been a fan of the dentist but they put me right at ease and thanks to their expertise I really started to feel good about my teeth. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff at this office-they are wonderful.
The staff at your office are professional and friendly. I have and will continue to recommend your practice to others.
I always enjoy my dental appointments. The staff is friendly and professional, and the patients' comfort is of primary importance.
Great Denist and staff
Best experience,I've ever had,on time appointments,and staff calmed my fears,about the procedure,
Efficient and friendly staff
The best service ever!!
Very respectful and kind staff. I do not like going to the dentist, but they made this the best experience at a dentist ever. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Quick response to an emergency
Got right in same day to address a broken tooth! Fixed and on my way in one visit. I was welcome, not an extra burden to a busy schedule.
Thank you!
Long time patient
Started going regularly to a dentist when I was 5 years old, that dentist was Dr. Donald Kilgore..... Dr. Spurr took over his practice, which means I have been going to "this" practice for 52 years! Had Lynn for a hygienist for many years, now have the pleasure of seeing Brenda twice a year. I'm the type of person that loves to have my teeth cleaned, actually enjoy going to the dentist! Dr. Spurr is very kind, all the staff inform you of what they are going to do next, and explain procedures so you can understand exactly what is going on or going to happen. Everyone that works there makes sure you feel at home, greeting you by name and asking what is going on in life. A very caring place!
Great practice!
I have been a patient of this practice for years, and have always been impressed with the way they take care of my family. They are also very sweet when it comes to my dental anxiety. Julie is my favorite hygeniest!
Very thourgh and gentle cleaning.
Very comfortable and professional!
All I have to say is that the people that work in this office, are some of the NICEST people I ever met! I wish I would have this practice long time ago!
Five Star Dental Office!!!
I have been a long time patient, and from day one Dr. Spurr and his Staff have been the friendliest, compassionate and professional group I have ever been to. Everyone treats you like family! I have recommended several people to them over the years and will continueto do so!
No pain, great place and people
I get a little numbing gel even for a cleaning and it has helped a lot! Always friendly and wanting to put you at ease. I feel like my teeth are well cared for. If you can love going to the dentist, Dr. Spurr's office is the one!
Professional and friendly
During my appointment everything was explained as we went along. They were very nice and friendly and accommodating making sure I was comfortable.
I had to have a filling replaced today, they were very professional and kind. I always knew what they were doing. Would recommend to everyone
High quality Service
I feel Dr. Spurr is the best dentist out there. He explains everything he is doing as he is doing it so there are no surprises. He is very gentle and I believe he cares about his customers. Thanks so much for everything!!!! I now smile from Ear to Ear
Very friendly and courteous staff. Dental hygienists are gentle and listen closely to the problems. Overall a very pleasant atmosphere.
The friendliest staff,always have a good experience. I'm a long time patient and have every kind of dental work done by Dr. Spurr. This has ranged from simple cleanings ,fillings,crowns all the way to Invisalign. No problems ever!
I always have a great experience at Dr. Spurr's office. I used to not like going to the dentist but he has changed that for me. Also my Dental Hygenist Brenda is so great too!!
Dr. Spurr is the best and so is his office staff.
Fast friendly and on time!
Thank you for good service and great care. It's easy to see that your staff's main concern is their patient!
Good service and on time
Had xrays and cleaning today. Went as well as can be expected. Would recommend to others.
Efficient and effective treatment in emergency
The office was able to get me in for a same-day appointment in an emergency and after an efficient evaluation, fit me in the schedule for a procedure within a short time frame. Staff was friendly and informative and I left with a price estimate for the procedure that helps me plan for it financially
Professional, thorough, gentle dentistry and friendly staff!
I always appreciate Dr. Spurr and his staff. They are very professional and I always feel that I get the highest quality of care. At the same time, they are friendly and very gentle. I'm often surprised at how little pain or discomfort there is, even in root canals and crowns.
Staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
As in all previous contacts Dr. Spurr was professional explaining every step of what he was doing. He has a very soft voice and gentle manner which I have always appreciated.
Professional, efficient service
The office staff are friendly, polite and efficient. The hygienist takes care to be gentle - physically and emotionally.
First Class Dental Care
Superb and careful dentist with an outstanding staff - always explaining what procedures are being done. Friendly, efficient and a welcoming environment.
Friendly, Comfortable, Fast Care
After years without dental insurance, I was finally able to make my oral health a priority. The staff at Dr. Spurr's office were understanding of the gap in my dental timeline and got me an appointment relatively quickly. I was greeted by friendly faces and an office setting that is less clinically stiff and more relaxed health spa, so you don't feel like you're in a dental chair. My issues and how to fix them were discussed in a non-judgmental way, and after two years of cleanings and fillings, I received a clean bill of dental health, yesterday. If you are looking to switch dentists, or get back in the chair after a long time away, I highly recommend Dr. Spurr and his friendly staff.
Was very happy with everything
Welcoming and Professional
Dr. Spurr works in a gentle, quiet manner and his skills provided me with a thorough and painless experience in the dental chair. The staff treated me, a first-time patient, as though they'd known me for years. I'm happy to have found a welcoming dental office environment.
I have been a patient for a number of years and Dr Spurr and his staff have always exceeded in their services. I would not go to another dentist as I have so much confidence in his work.
Awesome Staff!!
The entire staff is warm and friendly! Julie was wonderful and put me at ease about future work that needs to be done. I will recommend to everyone I know. Happy Holidays!!
Top notch!
Dr. Spurr was incredible as always. He has a calming manner and clear communication. Maria read my every thought and said the rights words of encouragement to get me through the procedure.
Your service to us is always top quality. I just have one concern about yesterdays visit. Rick didn't get fluoride put on his teeth because he was told that he would have to pay $50.00 out of pocket if he got fluoride put on his teeth. I thought this was covered under our insurance?
Very friendly and enjoyable staff
LOVE my hygienist!!!
Julie is the BEST.....the entire staff are super friendly and accommodating. I have referred Dr. Spurr's office to several friends/family members and will continue to do so.
Quick appointment for broken tooth
One of my teeth broke off on Sunday. It was not painful, but I wanted it to be attended to as soon as possible. I got an appointment on Monday afternoon and my teeth cleaning appointment was moved forward to the same time slot. I know it's not always possible to accommodate everyone so quickly, but I really appreciate making it work when possible.
Very professional and friendly
Had a great experience very friend and informative staff always let me know what was going on
The service
It was a very good &I friendly.
The service
It was a very good &I friendly.
Your office is amazing and the assistants are so kind and thorough. I appreciate everyone putting up with me.
I wish they had more stars. I have a lot of problems with my teeth and doctor Spurr works with me and discusses my issues and has been making progress like no other dentist has! The staff is so friendly and helpful and they really care about the patients as people not just numbers. Everyone always has a smile and a kind word every time we visit. I really can't say enough about that practice other than I am so happy I've found them and I only wish I could have done so sooner!!:)
Everyone in the office is warm and welcoming.
Very professional, courteous, quick but takes there time to get everything done right. Very knowledgeable as well.
My teeth feel Great! Your staff is the best!
You guys were able to get me right in which was great since I did not want to leave it unprotected for long. I was made comfortable and was told what was going to be done at every step of the way. I had been in just recently and had mentioned that the piece felt lose. There had always been a raised edge to it but it never gave me any trouble. I don't really felt I was taken serious about it and was told it was just fine. I feel this time that more time was taken to smooth the edges and really make sure it blended with the tooth, already I feel a difference. Thank you for the prompt and excellent care I was given.
I always receive excellent care at my dentist's visits. Brenda is an excellent hygienist and I have complete confidence in Dr. Spurr's dental work. His experience is evident after every procedure. The office personnel is always helpful and the patient is always their first consideration.
I received complete and professional care from both Brenda, John Spurr DDS and staff.
Dr. Spurr's staff is super nice, they always patiently help me schedule and reschedule around my family's crazy activities. The office is peaceful, feels like a spa. Dr. Spurr always explains carefully what he is doing and so do the hygenists. They obviously are very up to date on all equipment and techniques.
appointment was on time and done in a very efficient manner.
A trip to the dentist is something most people dislike, but John Spurr's office makes it easy and enjoyable.
Dr. Spurr and his staff are always thorough, personal, and professional.
I always have good things to say about the services I receive at your office. The Staff is wonderful and I look forward to my visits.
Really great service!
All staff are incredibly friendly, and make me feel like I am their most important client. The whole process, from booking an appointment to arranging payment through insurance, is handled efficiently. Although I have moved to the next town over, I still drive over 30 miles back in order to stay with this office.
You continue to provide quality assessment, treatment and explain all of the options open to me and my dental needs. Thank you for your professional treatment from all of your staff!
Thank you for your excellent care and working with me for scheduling an appointment.
Excellent dental care, top notch staff, great bedside manner - I always feel like I'm getting the best care and that I am a partner in my care as they keep me well informed.
My visit was very enjoyable. Everyone was very friendly and the hygienist did an excellent job.
This Dr. Office was very responsive to my needs, extremely professional and personable at the same time. I really like this office opposed to any others that I have been to in the Kalamazoo Area. My only qualm is their billing department. I have had to correct them twice regarding my coverage. One of these corrections caused me to delay a very necessary procedure. As long as you are on top of your information, I would recommend this office. The care and attention is excellent.
I like everything about my visit...promptness, gentleness, friendliness, thoroughness...keep up the great work! Much Appreciated!
I LOVE Dr. Spurr and his staff. Very professional, always on time, courteous and friendly. State of the art equipment and they take the time to explain your dental treatment plans with you. I would highly recommend this practice for your dental needs.
As always, the experience was great. Very friendly and thorough service. Both the hygienist (Julie) and Dr. Spurr provided a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Over the years and many appointments, I am always treated with respect. You make sure that my appointments are started on time, and I am always told what will happen and how much it ill costs. Thank you for being such a great dental office.
Excellent service. Love this office, Dr. Spurr and his wonderful staff! I have been a patient here for years and now I know why - it's simply the best in Dental Care and Quality! -SSell
Very pleasant staff to deal with. Quality care from the hygienist and dentist.
Professional as always. Very much enjoy the new girl Julie D.
Every visit makes me happy to have found such a wonderful dental community. Everyone in this office is truely amazing. My girls love to visit. Jill in the front office sets the tone for every delightful visit.
John Spurr is a very meticulous dentist ... his staff is excellent. I am always seen promptly and I can honestly recommend the complete staff as people who care about their patients. You won't find a doctor or staff that can beat this group.
Everyone in the office is pleasant, courteous and efficient. Very pleased.
LED TV in every station, high technology, clean office and friendly staff.
I am always assured to have pain free treatment from Dr. Spurr. He has taken away my anxiety of going to the dentist. One less thing to worry about!
Dr. Spurr and his staff are terrific - very professional and personable. The facilities are first rate state-of-the-art. It is a pleasure to always be treated so well.
I can not thank you enough for re-cementing the crown. There has been no discomfort. Bob Kellogg
Dr. Spurr's practice is very professional. Everyone is very efficient and helpful. I feel very comfortable being treated by Dr. Spurr and his assistances.
Everyone is very courteous from the moment you walk in the do and making sure all of your needs have been met. We enjoy the service and would highly recommend this office. If you have a request they do their best to attend to that need.
Dr. Spurr is awesome. I went in to check if I was having a root canal problem regarding some random pain. He took x-ray and made some tests in my teeth and he was kind and honest to say I did not have any inflammation or problems with my root canal. I am glad about that and with his attention and services. Thanks Dr. Spurr.
It was of course wonderful as is all the staff, maybe, if the waiting room isn't too busy some more child like shows on the telee. Thanks, Scott
I have been afraid of the dentist for years but the people in this office always put me at ease. Everyone knows who I am (of course I am the big baby) but no treats me any different. I am so glad when I found this office
wonderful. efficient...fast... dentistry has come a long way. cost is challenging..
Dr. Spurr's office always makes sure I am comfortable during the cleaning. They truly care about making the experience as painless as possible.
Marissa commented repeatedly and at length how much she enjoyed the new hygenist, and how thorough she was cleaning her teeth around her braces. THANK email@example.com
The staff was very accommodating and courteous. My service was quick and pain-free. The environment is clean and professional. I would recommend this practice to friends.
I use to hate going to the dentist as a kid, but don't mind it now. Everyone is always friendly and it is a very realxful place to be......and it's a dentist office!
I really don't mind going to the dentist, I am one of those who enjoys having my teeth cleaned. My hygienist Brenda is the absolute best! It truly helps when you have history with someone and can relate on a more personal note. I also appreciate the communication provided along the way so you know what to expect and what is going on.
Always friendly!
I think everyone in Dr. Spurr's office is very efficient and courteous. I really appreciate it.
Its so nice to know that a dentist really cares about making you feel comfortable. Because the staff know how nervous I am about the dentist, they have relaxing measures already in place when I walk in. They never make me feel silly; they just take great care of you. Julie is friendly and patient, and has gentle hands. Dr. Spurr is great! Jill and Nick are very solicitous, which ends the experience on a positive note.
As Usual, A Stellar Experience! Brenda Is The Best - She Makes Me Feel So Comfortable.
I didn't have a long wait, my hygienst was friendly and efficient,and I was treated with professionalism.
Very thorough and pleasant experience
My last dental work done by Dr. Spurr was excellent. Appointments were on time an estimates of time for the work was accurate.
I always feel well-cared for at your office. From the front desk (Jill & Nic, we love ya') through the finish of my appt, I feel like everyone at Dr Spurr's office knows and genuinely cares about my family and me
the work was done quickly and painlessly. there were no surprises, and Dr. Spurr explained as he was working, so I knew what to expect.
The young lady who cleaned my teeth was very nice and did an excellent job. We were sorry we could not get Basils teeth done but understand and are obtaining the necessary antibiotics he requires and will see you on the 14th. God bless ! Dorothy Van Linder
Every effort was made to make me comfortable and pain free.
I chipped a tooth and I was able to get in the same day. My tooth was fixed in about 20 minutes. Dr Spurr is great at his job. It was fast and they did an excellant job. I highly recomment Dr. Spurr's office. All the employees are friendly, kind, and the service is Great!!!
My kids love going to the dentist :)! It is always a fun event for us! Thank you so much!
I never worry when having to have any procedures done with Dr. Spurr. He is very gentle, informs you along the way what to expect next, professional and considerate of his patient's comfort. For this visit, had a cracked tooth filled..... it was a breeze, no numbing at all and no pain to be had! Thank you once again Dr. Spurr for the EXCELLENT care!!!
It was great. Brenda was wonderful
Everyone at the office was extremely friendly, and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable.
Love the friendly staff and doctor.
Everyone at the office was very friendly & helpful. I came in with 3 little children & there was a place for them to play. They were also timely with the appointment & made my two older children seeing the dentist feel at ease & comfortable. They did a good job explaining everything to us & we had an enjoyable experience. The kids were excited to get a bag full of goodies too! It was so easy!
I personally like the Way Dr. Spurr explains what he is going to do before he does it. It makes me feel at ease . I once was a white knuckler when it came time to visit the dentist. But now it is a very pleasant experience. The most up to date equipment possible and friendliest staff.
From the time I walked into the office until I left everyone was courteous and welcoming. Brenda did an excellent job of making sure I understood what she was doing and what the findings were.
I was nervous going in but everyone treats patients so well and the atmosphere is calm so that the experience ends up good...as good as dental work can be. Thanks to Dr. Spurr and staff. I appreciate your professionalism and friendly staff.
I was greeted with a smile and a genuine greeting. Very prompt response with good care throughout the visit. Dr was careful to describe exactly what he was doing every step of the way - very reassuring.
My Hygienist was informing about the process and caring about how I was feeling. She was a very warm and friendly person.
As always, the care provided was top quality - fast, friendly, and professional. Having magazines to read (esp. the Time issue on Ebola Fighters) was helpful and educational. I love that you have bottled water & drinks available too - thank you and God bless everyone working there!
You guys rocked getting me in so fast to fix my tooth that now that I think of it I broke on fruit cake, ha.
Good Job As Expected
My visit was the great experience that I have come to expect. Dr. Spurr and the staff were professional and courteous but friendly. I received excellent dental care.
I got right in as usual and Brenda is the absolute best. Thank you
I love that you all explain exactly what you're doing as you're doing it. No surprises, no pain...exactly what you would wish for in your dentist.
I like going to the dentist.
I like going to the dentist. I am treated with care and respect. My dental needs are met 100%
Semi-Annual check up
Today's appointment was great. It went much quicker than usual and I was very pleased with that. I am usually there longer for check ups and now that I know they can go speedier - i'll be hoping for that in the future. Thanks - you all do great work!
Always the best professional care. Friendly staff.
yank it
Large filling, lower molar extraction.... no pain at all, great dentist
I've never had a bad experience when visiting the office, Julie, was my hygienist this last time. It was the first time I met her. She was friendly and engaging and made me feel like I'd known her for a long time. From my point of view she did a excellent, thorough and professional cleaning. At checkout, (I'm sorry, I don't remember the fellows name) but he was efficient, friendly and prompt in laying out the financial details of the visit. Although she did not take care of me, as always Jill was her friendly self. Keep that girl! Lastly. I was glad to see you have upgraded the credit card processing and brought it into this century! (:). OH Yeah, Dr. Spurr, you were with as always !
Thank you for providing us with great service as always! Staff was pleasant and took us back to our chairs at our scheduled appointment times. Cleaning with thorough and information about my teeth was given clearly. Thank you!
the best experience ever!
Today I was very nervous...but now I am so pleased with the new bridge...after waiting for 2 years, now I can smile again...thank you to all of you!...Jill...Julie...Marie...Dr Spurr...You are beautiful people!
Brenda's the Best!
I have been going to this practice for quite some time, even before it was Dr. Spurr (Dr. Kilgore). Brenda is the best hygienist around! I am the type of person who enjoys having my teeth cleaned, and she does a great job every time! Dr. Spurr is always gracious, kind and soft spoken. Jill and the front desk staff always make you feel welcome. I have referred many friends!
I am doing well.
My Recent Visit.
Thanks for a very positive recent experience . I always appreciate the speed, efficiency and friendliness of the staff. The air abrasion (or whatever it is called) process used was very interesting, unique to me and a pleasant procedure. But, really, the best was the sun shades I got to take home. A very Star Trekkie look! Thanks
Great appointment today!
Had a great appointment today with Dr. Spurr & Debbie (I think that's her name). My teeth feel nice clean, everyone is so professional & welcoming & I feel very comfortable at this office.
Son visit
The overall visit was fine. It was a long wait for Dr. Spurr to come in and check his teeth at the end of the appointment.
Dentistry at it's Best!
I have been coming to Dr. Spurr's office for about 15 years.....that should tell you something! Everyone, and I mean Everyone, is knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. Dr. Spurr and his staff make your dental visit a pleasurable experience! They all are like family!!!!
Dental Cleaning
I appreciate being greeted with a smile as well as a friendly and sincere voice for such an early appt. The hygienist was thorough by assessing and following up with notes from my previous appts and addressed new concerns before starting my actual cleaning. I like the team work between hygienist and Dr. and that everything is discussed in my presence so I have a clear understanding of what is going on. I love my "to go" bag with floss and a new toothbrush, but mostly I find the appt reminders by email and text so helpful!
Dr. Spurr was quick and talked to you through the entire process, of pulling my tooth. I think 3 minutes and he was done. I felt no pain and want to thank him for how easy it was to take it out. The pain afterwards was expected, but not bad. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good Dentist. Thank you.
Dr Spurr and his staff are wonderful Dr Spurr has all the latest dental equipment to make your visit pain free They have a genuine concern for their clients.
Professional and Friendly
This is my fourth appointment with Dr. Spurr and I must say I am once again very pleased with the experience. Today was x-rays and a cleaning but as with every procedure, I was given a thorough explanation of what was being done and why. I left with a very good idea of what needed to be done on future visits and what I need to better manage my oral care at home.
High quality service
Pain free, quality service done by friendly and professional staff
First Rate
Dr. Spurr and his staff are great. I have been seeing him from when he started with Dr. Kilgore. Dr. Spurr is very knowledgeable and explains everything he does. Looking for a dentist? Would highly recommended him.
My cleaning went very well. I would like to open an on line account to watch the progress of the movement of my teeth. I tried to opinion account but was not successful. Would like some help from your office if possible. Susan Thanks, Sue
best possible dental visit, considering, it WAS a dentist visit!
My baby's first dentist visit
What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend to everyone of any age!!
may dental check
Check up was on time and done within on hour. Everyone was friendly and efficient at their jobs.
Great service
The complete staff from front desk staff to hygienist to Dr. Spurr are friendly and professional. Such a warm and trusting atmosphere!!!
They did a great job, but my lip is still numb four hours after the procedure and my face is very swollen. So I'm just a little concerned about that. They have wonderful staff and high tech tools, I just really wish I could feel my face.
I had five cavities including two that were under old silver fillings. Dr. Spur made sure to numb my gums really good for the five shots I needed. Very professional and efficient.
Fast, friendly, and outstanding service. Great communication and Julie/dental hygienist was very efficient and informative.
Exceptional service
Brenda is amazing; her calm demeanor makes an unpleasant experience less stressful.
Professional and friendly
Wonderful dentist explains everything he is going to do, very satisfied, nice relaxed atmosphere
Professional, courteous, and efficient
I needed to have 4 cavities filled, when I made the appointment they said it would be no problem to get them all filled at one appointment. I was surprised at the efficiency that Dr. Spurr and his assistant and yes, they filled all four cavities and I was out the door in an hour. Dr. Spurr was incredibly gentle and professional the entire time, telling me each step of the process before he started. His entire office staff is friendly, courteous and thorough, I'm glad to have found his dental office and would recommend him to others.
The staff is always friendly, courteous, and professional. They took the x-rays, explained what needed to happened next, and provided the printout with the explanation.
Always treated extremely well by a great friendly professional staff. Excellent dentist.
Good service as usual
Always a pleasure to work Spurr. Hygienist a little talkative, but she was helping me pass time. I like information and a little side conversation. Can't really reply with mouth being worked on, lol. All and all good visit.
This visit was the first time I had met Dawn. She greeted me and introduced herself to me in the waiting room. She did an exceptional job in describing the processes to be used by detailing every step of what was going to happen before, during and after my procedure and was always asking me if I understood or had questions. I was very impressed by this approach to my care. Oh, and Dr. Spurr you did good too! (;)
Great Service and Always Friendly
Appointment was on time and everyone always does quality work. They greet me by name, are friendly, and always seem to be organized. Never thought going to the dentist could be a good thing. Excellent work with everyone!!!
Excellent dentist and staff
I have sensitive teeth and they are so considerate about this. Staff is so friendly from the front desk to the hygienist and you always see Dr. Spurr and he always remembers who you are. He is so respectful of his staff, you know it's because he's a nice man and good employer. I would recommend Dr. Spurr to everyone!
Awesome care love this dentist office my kids love coming here everyone is so friendly and kind and really good with my kids,my kids love how there mouth feels so clean when we leave I absolutely view Dr Spurrs office a 10
Best Hygienist!
I have been a patient of this practice for nearly 50 years! I started when Dr. Kilgore was the dentist way back when.... I have only had 2 hygienists at this practice, one has retired and the other is Brenda!!! Brenda is great, she lets you know every step of the way what she is doing or going to do next. She is pleasant, friendly, and great at her work! I love the cleaning I receive from her, one of the things in life that I enjoy and others dread. Love the new way x-rays are done, more tolerable than the old way. Thank you for keeping up on the latest and greatest ways to make patients more comfortable. At one point I left this practice, only to return about 5 years later, wishing I hadn't left in the first place. All the staff at Dr. Spurr's office are super friendly, always seem to have a smile on their face. I don't mind when I have a dental appointment!!!!
Great service, very friendly
We have a great experience every time we visit this office. The entire staff is very friendly and always welcomes us with a smile. At our last visit, my son was very nervous and started crying. I was so happy with the way that Julie (his hygienist) handled the situation. She gave us some space for a few minutes to allow him time to compose himself. Once he was calmed down a bit, she walked him through the process and was so sweet to him. She does a great job relating to the kids and she helped to keep my son calm for the rest of his X-rays and cleaning. I'm so appreciative of the professionalism of the entire staff!
I would not go any where else. I am 100% happy with Brenda, Dr. Spurr, and the staff Thanks for a great practice
The office staff are warm and friendly. Bridgit is awesome
Great Service
Dawn was great throughout and Dr. Spurr was superb explaining throughout the procedure what he was doing. The procedure went faster than anticipated and there were no recovery issues.
Great Dental care
It was my first visit. It was strange to go for a 11:40 apt. and they ask you show early and you get there early but no one at front dest or any where else for that matter. At 11:45 they finally showed to front desk by that time 3 people waiting and none of us understanding what was happening. But after that what a great experience. Best exam I think I have ever had on my teeth. Glad I found them!!!
routine cleaning
I return because I have been going there for about seven years, and have had several exams and procedures done. They know me, and Dr. Spurr does a good job of following up, and making sure your issues are understood, dealt with properly, and he will not do more than is needed. Very comfortable environment, and friendly staff to do cleanings, etc. My only complaint would be a crown that wasn't removed to do a root canal (off site), and the crown later cracked. He replaced it for free, but it shouldn't have been needed. Otherwise, very reliable.
Friendly and thorough
Staff extremely nice. Explain procedures in detail. Very little pain.
Great service as usual !
Julie was very professional, informative, and friendly. Thank you.
Great Service
Mary and Dr. Spurr spent extra time making sure my child with autism was comfortable. They were very patient, and made his appointment go smoothly. He is excited to go back!
I am pleased to affirm my experience...it was as my previous visits..top quality. ddy
Everything went well.
Very comfortable
I'm very self conscious about my teeth and nervous about dentists in general and Bridget took the time to make me comfortable. The office staff were friendly and awesome as well, greeting me warmly and answering all my questions.
I am a new patient in Dr. Spurr's practice and am very pleased with the service I received. Dr. Spurr was able to get me in quickly for my tooth pain and the problem was resolved within a week. I appreciate the friendly atmosphere of his office and am planning on becoming a permanent client of his practice.
Another happy customer
I was in for a filling today. I greatly appreciate the email and text reminders to keep me on track for my appt. Upon arrival I was greeted with a friendly smile and pleasantness from Nick at the early hour of 7:30AM. I met Dawn for the first time today. I really enjoyed her personality. She was also quite thorough in explaining everything that was going to happen, step by step. Sure enough when Dr. came in he explained as well and it matched up nicely with what Dawn shared with me. The procedure went smoothly. At check-out Nick was able to help me once again, by reviewing my payment from my last appt so I had a full understanding of what I had paid for and what was currently due.
Always a great experience, with professional staff and a positive environment fit for adults and children alike!
Great service as always
Friendly staff, latest technology, and great dentist. What more could you ask for? Had 5 fillings done today. Wait time to see the dentist was less than 10 minutes. Total time for all fillings was about an hour. Everyone is so friendly there. And Dr. Spurr is very gentle with his procedures. A painless visit if you can believe that!
When I left after my first visit, I had to remind myself that this was my first visit. Everyone I saw was very friendly and helped me to understand the work that would take place during my following appointments. They all made sure that I was comfortable. The experience was great. It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Spurr and I look forward to my future visits.
Great Experience!
I have been a patient of Dr. Spurr and his team for many years now. The doctor and staff are professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Additionally, they are very efficient, providing minimal wait times for your appointment. The staff is always friendly and helpful and Dr. Spurr is thorough and willing to answer any questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist.
high quality service
THe office is professional and friendly
We love Dr Spurr and his staff! We feel like family when we are there. They are always helpful in scheduling spots that work for myself and my kids. Sad that we only get to see them twice a year.
Vary friendly and show they care and they do an awesome job
Always great service!
They are all very nice here love this place i would highly recommend it!!"

Thank you everyone at Dr. Spurr's office. I was able to get an appointment on short notice. Office staff is very helpful and personable, and efficient. My dental care was very thorough and accurate. Insurance and billing is handled promptly."
Brenda has always done a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. I can't say enough good things about her.
Great service and friendly environment.
I always get great service. The process of what is being done is explained. Employees are friendly and professional.
My 7 year old never felt a thing
My seven year old had 5 cavities, I know right! Had all 5 done and was thrilled that he was dribbling water out of the side of his mouth. That was it no trauma at all.
I had a positive experience at Dr. Spurr's office today. The office staff is very friendly and even though we recently switched dentists and are new to this office, they always remember our names and are readily available to answer questions about billing and what the plan is for future visits. We have already talked to friends and family about a switch to Dr. Spurr.
Always professional and friendly.
I had a root canal done...Even during a 2 hour procedure, my assistant was so kind and gentle. Dr. Spurr is professional and very gentle...explaining what he is doing or about to do during the whole procedure. I never get nervous or anxious about my appointments here!
High quality service from Julie, she is friendly and courteous and helpful.
John Spurr is always courteous and friendly. I've been coming here for years and I'm very happy with all the staff and what you have to offer. Thank you 😀
friendly atmosphere
Short, quick appointment that had no "hiccups"
Excellent Service!
Dr Spurr and staff provide excellent service. They are very friendly, engaging, and professional. I have had a remarkable experience.
Dawn explained everything nicely. The whole proceedure went quickly, with minimal discomfort.
Ahead of time, friendly experience
Got to the office early and was put into the chair early. Friendly visit with the assistant and efficient processing of two new fillings. No pain and done as quickly as possible.
Professional & caring
I've been to Dr. Spurr's office twice now. Going back Friday to continue my deep cleaning with zero anxiety or apprehension. I've always been uncomfortable at the dentist due to bad experiences as a child. I've got a lot of work to be done with crowns & fillings....no stress at all! The staff is courteous. The hygienists are gentle & friendly. I'm happy I chose this office. Recommending them to everyone! ♡
Every visit makes me happy to have found such a wonderful dental community. Everyone in this office is truly amazing. My girls love to visit. Jill in the front office sets the tone for every delightful visit.
I am always assured to have pain free treatment from Dr. Spurr. He has taken away my anxiety of going to the dentist. One less thing to worry about!
I can not thank you enough for re-cementing the crown. There has been no discomfort. Bob Kellogg
Dr. Spurr's practice is very professional. Everyone is very efficient and helpful. I feel very comfortable being treated by Dr. Spurr and his assistances.
Friendly staff
My daughter loved how friendly the staff was. She was very comfortable on her first visit to the office.
You made a not-so-fun experience at least tolerable! Expert and efficient work by dentist and assistant. Staff all friendly and helpful. THANK YOU !!!
Pleasant Experience
Going to the dentist for whatever reason is not what I look forward to doing but getting my teeth cleaned today was a pleasant experience. Shannon was prompt, courteous and professional. Her friendly manner put me at ease.
Great attentive service...was very pleased!

Today's appointment was great. It went much quicker than usual and I was very pleased with that. I am usually there longer for check ups and now that I know they can go speedier - i'll be hoping for that in the future. Thanks - you all do great work!
I was taken care of the same day as my tooth cap fell out, this was very much appreciated and thank you for your wonderful service... I am grateful.
I was taken care of promptly and I am grateful. The staff are always courteous, kind and make an effort to be sure I understand due to my deafness... I highly recommend this place and Dr. Spurr and staff are always friendly and helpful.
Excellent with Children
My 4 year old is a little hesitant when it comes to going to the dentist. Dr Spurr and his team always make it an EXCELLENT experience and make sure to cater his needs so that he is comfortable, and the experience is enjoyable!
My questions were answered
You guys were able to get me right in which was great since I did not want to leave it unprotected for long. I was made comfortable and was told what was going to be done at every step of the way. I had been in just recently and had mentioned that the piece felt lose. There had always been a raised edge to it but it never gave me any trouble. I don't really felt I was taken serious about it and was told it was just fine. I feel this time that more time was taken to smooth the edges and really make sure it blended with the tooth, already I feel a difference. Thank you for the prompt and excellent care I was given.
My teeth feel Great! Your staff is the best!
Very professional, courteous, quick but takes there time to get everything done right. Very knowledgeable as well.
Everyone in the office is warm and welcoming.
I wish they had more stars. I have a lot of problems with my teeth and doctor Spurr works with me and discusses my issues and has been making progress like no other dentist has! The staff is so friendly and helpful and they really care about the patients as people not just numbers. Everyone always has a smile and a kind word every time we visit. I really can't say enough about that practice other than I am so happy I've found them and I only wish I could have done so sooner!!:)
Your office is amazing and the assistants are so kind and thorough. I appreciate everyone putting up with me.
Great appointment today!

Best dentist in Kalamazoo
Always makes you feel at ease and pain free. They really care about their patients
Always a good experience!
I not only received a great cleaning, but all current and future procedures were clearly explained and estimated cost after insurance were provided.
Great Visit
The receptionists always greet you with smile and hello. My appointment today involved getting my teeth cleaned and examined. The periodontists utilized a new procedure to remove the tartar from my teeth. This process significantly reduced the amount of scraping required to get my teeth clean. Thanks for a great visit
Quality Service
This was a very relaxing atmosphere, very friendly staff who were concerned about me. Dr. Spurr explained everything he was doing, which was very comforting. He is such a gentle person. My procedure was quick and painless. Thank You!
