He performed extremely painful surgery on me in the most humane, patient manner. The pain was unavoidable, but he made it as low-stress and tolerable as possible.

I still look forward to our check-ups, knowing that if something does arise he will be the most trustworthy ophthalmologist to deal with it.

The peripheral vision game was fun and I had a retinal image with a blue light flash that was pretty trippy. In the future it would be good to check the copay of my insurance company as they only covered 20% of the bill and it ended up in the hundreds. Knocking a star off because the receptionist did not check my copay until I was already in my exam, meaning that I would have to pay regardless. The facilities are pretty old although there is some charm to this, but if I had a choice I'd prefer somewhere newer. Not a big deal as the quality of service matters more than the appearance, in my opinion. Overall this is an optometrist for affluent people who don't want to waste their time feeling "average" by going to a chain optometrist location. I felt a little taken advantage of afterward by the high price as the services were nice but not so nice to justify a 400% margin from your average optometrist. I unknowingly did not do my research on the price first and expected all optometrists to be about the same. The other person that gave this place a five-star must be more set up, financially, than me, and thus to them it's normal to spend more. The nice downtown location is a warning that this place is expensive. In the future I would research your insurance's copay and also call the practice first and make them give you a final cost estimate with the copay included.

Dr. Ross is super sweet and obviously knows her stuff. Dr. Shen was very reassuring during the surgery and talked me through everything. She also called me late in the evening the day of the surgery to check up on me and give me some tips. I had some issues with extreme dryness causing pain in one of my eyes early Thursday morning (surgery was late Monday) and they got me right in to see Dr. Ross. She explained what was going on and made sure I had some meds to make me more comfortable. She also called me later that evening to check on me and gave me her cell number in case I had any issues at night. Dr. Shen then called me on Saturday morning to checkl on my again and give me her cell phone number as well just in case I needed anything over the weekend. I don't know many dr's who will give out their cell numbers, so I was pretty impressed. As far as cost goes they are pretty spendy ($4000 for both eyes), but they are considered one of the top refractive surgery centers in the area and, as my friend told me, you don't price shop for a surgeon. So, I would deffinately reccomend checking them out if you're considering having your eyes fixed.

I first learned of Smiles R Us as a result of an Amazon Local deal ($69 for an Exam, Cleaning, and…read moreX-Rays -- a $310 value). After leaving a previous job and losing my dental insurance from Willamette Dental, it had been about 1 1/2 years since I had last had a cleaning and an exam. Dr. Dhakchang's website looked impressive and the reviews present on it were glowing. I bought the Amazon Local deal and then visited Yelp, only to discover the 1-star review that already was here, detailing a "painful" exam and cleaning, what sounded like "upselling" by the dentist, and a change in the bite pattern of the reviewer's teeth. Admittedly, I was a little concerned that perhaps buying this Amazon Local deal was a bad idea. However, after my visit with Dr. Dhakchang, all of my concerns were dispelled almost instantly. True, it's a small office (just a couple of exam spaces) and she's nearly doing one-woman show (her assistant was out on the day I had my appointment, so she handled my paperwork and all elements of the exam all by herself). Yet she was warm, kind, and efficient in her work. I was impressed by how the X-rays were completed while I sat in the chair (at Willamette Dental, I always had to go to a separate room for X-rays). Additionally, she had a high-tech small camera that she was able to use to view some of my dental issues ("pockets" where my gums have dropped below the enamel line) and offer treatment options to me. Granted, I agree with the previous reviewer that Dr. Dhakchang was a bit clumsy regarding using the cleaning tools (she sprayed my face with water and toothpaste during the cleaning and joked that I was getting a "free facial"). But I only can imagine that the person who did the previous review was naïve when it comes to the instruments used during a cleaning/exam. Dr. Dhakchang had a ultrasonic cleaner -- this is STANDARD at Willamette Dental and nothing unusual. It gets one's teeth cleaner than a standard electric brush. I saw NO upselling from Dr. Dhakchang during my visit. When I complained about some issues I was having, she suggested some treatment options, but I did not feel under any pressure to purchase any additional dental work from her. When it came time to check out at the end of the visit, there were no charges beyond the $69 I already had paid for the Amazon Local deal. Since I will be relocating to a another country this fall, I am unsure if I will be returning to Dr. Dhakchang, but if I find myself back in Seattle next year, I will see her again for my yearly exam. Female dentists are not very common, and I am happy to support a woman who is a political refugee who has chosen to make the Pacific Northwest her home.

I was born with a missing permanent lateral incisor and had a small gap between my incisor and canine tooth on my right side. At her suggestion, I had all three of my front teeth capped with porcelain crowns which filled the gap and look like natural teeth. The color match is great too. I'm very pleased with Dr. Dhakchang's treatment plan and now I can smile with confidence for the first time in my life and to think I lived with that gap for so many years.

As someone who has been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade and contacts since the 5th, I'm no stranger to optometrist visits and have been to quite a few different doctors over the past nearly 20 years. My first concern was during the check-up in which I could barely see any of the showed slides (A or B? 1 or 2?) clearly, and felt they didn't have much distinction between one another. I've never experienced this before and didn't feel much confidence with the process. Afterwards, the doctor told me something along the lines of "Well, I don't know whether I should trust you or not" - maybe jokingly? but was weird to say in general. He set my prescription as 3.75 when I've been steadily 4.25 for quite some time. His explanation was that I might have been overcorrected in the past, which might have been fine had I felt I could even see anything during the exam. I'd also been prescribed 4.25 by more than 1 doctor in the past. I also expressed concern that I might have dry eye as my eyes would feel burning/dry sensations almost every day. He told me that he didn't like when patients WebMD'd themselves and that I probably didn't have dry eye, but that it was most likely my contact lens solution. I told him this happened even when I wasn't wearing contacts to which he responded, "Oh okay, you probably have dry eye then." For the week following, the prescribed contacts were very obviously not doing it for me and things were blurry. I came back for a follow-up and asked him to re-do the prescription. He didn't seem very happy to do so and during the check-up even told me that there was "a difference between something being sharper and darker". I'm definitely not a doctor, but if the patient says they can see something clearer then.. ? He ended up putting me back at my original prescription. Recently got a call from the receptionist to schedule my annual check-up, which is what reminded me to write this review from my experience last year; needless to say, I won't be re-scheduling.
