Ever since then when I called, they've told me I didn't owe anything & not to worry. First it was $492 then it became over $700.

Dishonest!!! I moved to Shoreline last year, and went to…read moreBright 32 Family Dentistry for the first time for dental exam and cleaning. The hygienist Anna was rough when she took photos of my teeth and performed the cleaning. When I made "ouch" sounds and clearly signaled her that she had hurt my gum, she didn't even apologize or try to be more careful. Then the hygienist told me that I had more than 10 cavities even before the dentist showed up to look at my X ray. I was surprised because I have not had any cavities for over 10 years and during this time I have seen 3 different dentists. When the dentist came, Anna told him I had 10 cavities and he confirmed it. I questioned how could I develop 10 cavities within a year since my last exam. He explained the X ray can detect more cavities than what we can see with bare eyes, but he didn't show me where the 10 cavities were on the X ray. At the end of my visit, the hygienist Anna printed me a "treatment plan" of 5 appointments for fillings, and $1,040 out of pocket after insurance payment. I didn't trust this dentistry and decided to switch. I visited a dentist office in Edmonds today and had an exam and cleaning. The dentist office received my last X ray image from Bright 32 and took additional x ray images. They reviewed both with me and said I had very healthy teeth. The hygienist said I do a good job cleaning my teeth and my dental clean appointment was short and easy. I found the "Treatment Plan Estimate" from Bright 32 last year and I wonder how much money they made from patients and insurance companies when no treatment was needed. Stay away!

Just looking at the pictures, I thought this guy seemed kind of smarmy. I went anyway because the…read morelocation was walking distance from home and the reviews were pretty good. I did not feel the cleaning I got here was done very well, and a follow up six months later seemed to confirm that, because the second hygienist felt that there was tartar that was old that should have been removed previously. The hygienist here outlined an extensive treatment plan without explaining anything at all about what was actually wrong. I had gone for what I expected to be a routine appointment with no symptoms. I asked a lot of questions and got better information, but they should have provided the diagnostic information first. You shouldn't have to ask for that and then have to continue to ask questions to drag the information out of them. The treatment plan was very aggressive, and of course, very expensive - nearly $10,000, and that was only "Phase 1." I was told there would be a phase 2 and that it would be even more expensive, but we didn't get far enough for an actual quote on that. I was given a lot of push back when asking about more conservative approaches. I saw two other dentists for additional opinions and they both felt that I could do nothing and the risk of the problems getting worse would be very small. One of them felt that Dr. Brenner's plan was reasonable but more aggressive than necessary and the other felt that it was inappropriately aggressive. If you're someone who likes to take the most aggressive option and is not concerned about costs, this guy might be ok. I acknowledge that there is an upside to aggressive treatment - there is a small risk my situation could get worse with more conservative measures. Aggressive treatment would mean spending a lot of money up front but eliminating that risk. Also, he does not do even simple extractions - he has his brother do them, which seems kind of weird. I've never had a general dentist who couldn't do simple non-surgical extractions. And the brother has had DOH disciplinary action taken against him. Overall impression is that this practice is excessively profit-driven.

I get about four cleanings done a year and I know I can rely them to do their job exceptionally. They would provide their expertise and recommendations in procedures that needs to be done, but they don't hassle you to get them right away like some dentists I've been to making you feel bad after an appointment. They also send out reminder cards, birthday cards, seasonal greetings, community activities for kids, and give you free dental supplies (if needed) after an appointment. Overall grade 9/10 for their exceptional, passionate. hard working staff. It would be 10/10 if they open on Fridays.

However, the transition period last fall was not optimal as it coincided with cracked fillings (originating from another dentist) and a chipped, then broken crown (darn choc chip cookies, cocoa nibs, artisan bread) that needed attention. Really I drank a dairy farm in my youth and I don't eat rocks for breakfast...teeth don't just break! Those were anxious times of no timely dental cleanings, rotating dentists and hygienists from agencies. Even waited in the parking lot with this motley crew. My replacement crown also went missing...guess it was totally done with the I-5 commute. That hot black market illicit cartel of custom made crowns or some squirrel wearing a tiara crown (pun intended). Yes, it was becoming that ludicrous. You have to laugh or break down and cry in frustration. Props go to *Kate* for holding the dental practice together where she even followed up with patients with her own cell phone. She was the main reason to stick it out, especially after yet another mortifying recent dental mishap breaking a front left crown (grapes)! All Family Shoreline Dental is now overseen by Drs. Sammy B.D. Pak and Negin Nazarian. No more revolving door of dental temporaries. I warily saw Dr. Nazarian 4/3/18, but she was professional, thorough, and put me at ease. She reattached my broken crown after Xrays and impressions were taken. She presented my permanent options moving forward. She reattached this crown again on 4/17/18 (baklava). I met Dr. Pak on my dreaded 4/26/18 appointment since I didn't know much about dental implants. Again, the information provided and his demeanor, I relaxed as best I could before the root canal post, dental bone extraction, and the new screw foundation were initiated. The audible drilling sounds were not great and I kept my eyes shut during the two hour procedure. Yes, the local area was numbed up and after was fitted with a temporary flipper retainer. Also, I was placed on short term antibiotic and pain management post treatment. I received a thorough follow-up via email about sutures and completed my one week appointment on 5/3/18. My son has his long overdue dental cleaning scheduled on 5/7/18 (so he will the first to report on the state of their dental hygienists) and my final dental implant session is not until 6/7/18. Seems lame to have dental appointments around our respective birthdays, but dental health is very important. Plus this Yelper wants to eat and resume my social calendar with confidence again! Dr. Pak, Dr. Nazarian, and their professional staff at All Family Shoreline Dental start a new chapter at this current, established location. It has been nothing but positive experiences moving forward.

**if you're gonna read a review, read this one** *** save…read moreyour money and time -- go anywhere else but here *** the shadiest most unprofessional and uncommunicative service i have ever received. i got braces from dr. smita patel as a youth and needed to get new bottom retainers as they had gone missing. i intended to get the same clear retainer that i had been using. upon my appointment, a permanent retainer was inserted without prior confirmation to the type of retainer that will be used, nor any communication throughout. dr. smita patel rushed the entire process of me paying for the clear retainer i was anticipating, where even the receptionist "laura" admitted the following day when i called for a removal that she was also under the impression that i was getting the clear retainer. hm ... common denominator? dr. patel was being hasty, uncommunicative, and unclear. the day of me thinking i was going to pick up my clear retainer, laura did not seem to communicate my appointment to dr. patel as dr. patel looked at me confused and stated "oh, i did not know you were coming today. i'll be right back, it just needs a few more tweaks." then proceeds to have me sit as she prepared the retainer. during this time i was frazzled and uncertain of the circumstances and instead of dr. patel communicating and confirming the retainer is what i wanted ... she proceeds to dive right in. she scurried me off quickly and ushered for me to leave. of course i was going to be thrown off and frazzled -- thus me calling less than 24hrs to report my disinterest in the permanent retainer and to have a clear retainer instead. oh not to mention that at the end of the insertion of the permanent retainer .......... she gives me the mold of my teeth ........ as a gift i guess. weird. didn't even ask if i wanted it or not, just a "here ... you can keep that. :)" like huh???? after 3 weeks of back and forth conversation about getting the retainer removed and replaced, the removal of the retainer would be $250.00 ... it's a wire and tooth cement. get over yourselves. 8/23/2022 i called to check back in as laura did not return my call twice. once when i had called to let them know of my disinterest and the other when i had followed up due to their lack of reliability. 8/31/2022 i call the office to confirm of their queen anne locations hours that laura told me on the 23rd that i may come in on the 24th or the 31st to drop off my teeth mold in order to get the retainer i want. laura proceeds to gaslight me by telling me that i am introducing new information ... that she had told me the week prior. not wanting me to speak to any doctor directly or accomodate for their lack of attention and care and instead gaslight me and do absolutely ... nothing about the situation. an absolute joke. all of the reviews stating that they are terrible and a disgrace for a pediatric service is valid and i hope you never have to interact with dr. smita patel at the little pearls dentistry and orthodontics in queen anne or bothell or federal way (closed) or des moines (closed) ever in your life. she has lost her touch if i do say so myself; i wonder why all of her locations have been closing down .......... anyways, as someone who has interacted with her years ago to now .... this place is going downhill fast.

Since then, this might be my 3rd branch in Washington alone (I tend to move a lot...) and I'm glad I came here before I saw the reviews that probably would have scared me off. I originally looked up and booked an appointment here for my husband who refuses to go to a doctor or dentist when he's in pain and they were able to get him in and when I went inside to pay for his visit, they got me to book an appointment for a cleaning (Lord knows I was well overdue for one because I have the worst teeth issues since I was young). My husband has a female dentist at the time but I was scheduled with Dr. Jason Byun. Anyways, I've been here for maybe a little over a year now with my regular cleanings, deep cleanings, more major procedures and every time they have all been so kind and they really listen to you when you're describing the issues you have. And when you're someone like me with a history of problems... it's really nice of them to genuinely care for their patients. Today I went in for another cleaning and Leila was just very knowledgeable and helpful answering questions as to what is happening inside my mouth rather than the usual "make sure you brush your teeth and floss". Like I said in the beginning of this review, every Modern Dentistry branch I've been to in multiple states has always been so nice.

The best dental office ever!…read more I initially took my mom here right after she moved to the area because she was experiencing pain from an acute issue. Mandy was able to get my mom in quickly and I am so grateful she did. My mom, who is a senior, and who has had really bad. dental experiences her whole life, and has always been afraid of going to the dentist, was treated with love, respect, and warmth. I think my mom almost cried when she left because she could not believe how kind the entire team was to her. We went back for several follow up visits and the team only became more wonderful and caring. She literally looked forward to every single time she got to go because of their character and quality of care. After seeing this experience over the last few months, I switched to their office as a new patient as well. I had an incredibly wonderful visit, with everyone from Mandy at the front desk, to the hygienist to Dr. Tremblay. They truly care about their patients, provide all the information you need, and are truly one of a kind practice. I genuinely cannot recommend a dental office more highly. For anyone that just appreciates a good dental care team, to those who have been afraid of the dentist for years, this is the best place around!
