Amazing dentist! I used to live in Hillman City and go to a dentist in Renton. That other dental office changed management and suddenly was recommending several treatments and they were very intense about it. I decided to get a second opinion and was so glad I did. It turns out that I didn't need any fillings. I eventually moved to West Seattle and continued coming here just because they always did such a great job! The appointments were scheduled to be quick and efficient, but not rushed. Also, everyone was just so friendly and knowledgable. I unfortunately moved out of state, and just went to a new dentist here. Comparing experiences led me to want to give this review. I wish all dental offices were as great as this one! I'm going to miss this place now that I've moved :-( read more

The best dentist I've had and I've had a lot of dentists! I always seem to leave here happy, maybe because of the little goodie bag they give me with the floss and bamboo toothbrush (comes in handy when I travel!) Or possibly because I've had no teeth issues in the last few years. Meghan has an amazing bedside manner and seems to remember me every time I go in. She either has an amazing memory, or they take notes on our conversations. Either way she's so warm and friendly it's really a joy to visit - which is something I can't believe I'm saying about a dentist. As well as Meghan, I've had two different dental hygienists since I started to visit. Both have been great and seem to exude kindness. Everybody at this place is so damn nice! Columbia City Dental used to be my local dentist, I've since moved halfway across the city. I still make the drive as I don't think I could find a better place to go. read more

I have never had such a positive experience at the dentist. Dr Meghan is so kind and encouraging, and every dental hygienist that has cleaned my teeth has been wonderful as well. I used to dread going to the dentist because it was painful and I left feeling bad about my flossing habits, but I can't recommend Columbia City Dental enough for people who don't like going to the dentist:) read more

Please look at the dates on the other reviews (they aren't recent). Dr. Megan Crawford is a wonderful provider and I've had a several years of thinking I had found an dental home that was considerate and caring. Unfortunately, over the past year or so, a front-of-the-house issue has metastasized that consists of an extreme authoritarian attitude towards patients that is manifests as condescension, presumption of bad behavior (non-payment, no-show, etc..), and insinuated threats for presumed bad behavior. FWIW - I've never had a late payment, never not-shown for an appointment, and have always been accommodating for whatever may arise. This manifest attitude is (as one might expect) coupled with incompetency with regards to billing mistakes, misunderstanding regarding HIPAA, repeated failure to provide email receipts, etc... I have absolutely zero insight as to what Megan's relationship is to this front-of-house issue, but honestly it would be a tedious waste of my time to entertain this question. Personally, I don't like to shop in stores that treat all customers as potential shop-lifters. For this reason, I'll be looking for another dental office. read more

I've been a patient here for 2.5 years and truly can't say enough good things about Dr. Crawford and her wonderful staff. I've had some pretty nightmarish experiences with pushy, painful, sketchy dentists in the Seattle area, but Dr. Crawford is the absolute opposite; she is so kind, gentle, thorough, and honest. My cleanings are always super fast, absolutely painless, and really effective, and the hygienists are all incredibly friendly and professional. No one here will try to sell you on unnecessary dental work, no one will make you feel bad for falling off your flossing routine - just really nice people who are great at their jobs. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Columbia City Dental for about a year. Two cleanings, 1 filling, and I did cosmetic bonding to my upper front teeth. The dentist and hygienists are so friendly and professional! I'm super happy with the results and fair pricing! read more

This is definitely by far the most pleasant dental experience I've ever had. Beautiful, thoughtful office space. They give you glasses so you're nor uncomfortable visually during the exam. They clearly pay attention the little details! My hygienist Pylson (sorry if it's incorrect spelling) was informative throughout my cleaning. Gave me specific feedback on my brushing patterns. Both he and the dentist Megan addressed all my concerns regarding my oral care and thoroughly reviewed all my X-rays with me. Prices were VERY fair. I called around several places and this place was reasonable compared to other quotes I have received. So happy to have this gem in my neighborhood. Bonus: While you're getting your teeth cleaned/examines, you get to look at cute screenshots of dogs (I'm a dog momma so this really appealed to me). read more

Great staff - front desk girl seemed pretty rude and unprofessional wasn't very welcoming. Don't plan on going back due to her lack of compassion Everything one else great read more

Columbia City Dental are they best! Their staff are always the most professional, kind and courteous people who take their jobs as health care professionals seriously. They will do extra the extra tasks that are not only are helpful and for your comfort but to make assure you that you are healthy. For example Dr. Meghan will examine your mouth for cancer polyps, however, it is the way that she explains what she is doing during my exams that gives me a sense of her skill level and that I can trust her as my dental health care professional. Her staff are the same way, too. It might be added that the customer and billing staff have always been stilted, self-absorbed, and even a little rude however I really think that is only a characteristic of medical office staff who are either too officious, too nice, or too lackadaisical and Dr. Meghan's choicesup to this point in time. Anyway, nothing but the best to say of Comumbia City Dental! read more

I hate going to the dentist, but had an infected tooth. They fit me in for a quick exam and rx. for antibiotics, and an anti-anxiety med. then scheduled the extraction for the following week. The extraction was so easy... Dr Crawford is so gentle, I think I found a new dentist! read more

After years of bad dental experiences and an already very expensive mouth, I absolutely hate going to the dentist. Good news, Dr. Crawford makes it more than bearable. She came recommended by a friend and is only a few blocks from our apartment, so she was an easy choice. I'll keep coming back for the state of the art equipment and the generally wonderful service provided here. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that they forgot to tell me that they changed their hours and moved my 7AM appointment to 7:30AM, which was kind of annoying at the time (they were incredibly apologetic), but that would never keep me away. read more

Thank you all so much for a fantastic dental cleaning. This service was the most gentle that I've had, and by far the most informative. I loved all the modern technology and with such great visuals I feel like I know my mouth better than ever! I also have to compliment the customer service. Both Dr. Crawford and her assistant Becky were super friendly and totally made me feel like they cared about my teeth! Also, Dr. Crawford gave me recommendations for dental fillings that would be needed at some point over the next few years but really wanted me to get the most life out of my current ones so that the overall health of my teeth was the top priority. Which is awesome because I always need like a ton of dental work, and this was the first time I wasn't given a $2000+ statement for treatment. I look forward to my next visit in six months!! read more

Upfront--the one star rating is solely to the front desk peeps--they emailed me recently that we're in phase 2 in Seattle to reschedule my appointment. They said in the email I had to call to reschedule, so I did, but no one picked up the phone. So I emailed them asking if we can reschedule via email--they tersely replied back saying they can't reschedule via email and that I have to just call them back. I called them again today and once again, no one answered. Are y'all in touch with the 21st century?? How is it that you can't schedule appointments via email? The only reason I wanted to go back to this office is because I worked with Hal, the hygienist, and he was very knowledgeable and congenial. It was a great experience where I felt I was really cared for as a patient (Thank you, Hal!). Meanwhile, the front desk staff have been condescending, unavailable, and plain rude every time I have been at their office. Not just me saying this--you can see other negative reviews, and it's a pattern that people are rightfully pointing out on. It's sad that the actual experts here are actually pleasant to work with, but it's quite an annoying and unpleasant experience to go through the hoops with the front desk people. Do better! read more

I was just at Columbia City Dental for a checkup for my wife and I. Awesome small business! Hygienist Hal and Dentist Dr. Meghan were awesome! Great personalities, friendly, and took the time to explain what they were doing and why. I don't suffer from anxiety about visiting the dentist, but I can tell that people who do will really appreciate the way they take the time to make sure you are comfortable. We switched from our previous dentist who only opened on Fridays once every few weeks, as Fridays were the only days my wife could get a day off. Being open Fridays and early really helps for us to fit appointments. My wife had similar great things to say as well, and we are happy that we've switched to Columbia City Dental! read more

I received an email to call & confirm my appointment (9 days away and scheduled 6 months ago) "at my earliest convenience". I was busy and did not have a chance to call yet and 2 days later I receive a second email cancelling my appointment! I called right away and the rude receptionist told me it was cancelled and they did not have time to do the necessary paperwork (5 days!) for my regular check-up. Terrible customer service, clearly incompetent office staff and just rude. Especially during times like these (Covid). I'll find a dental office that is courteous and appreciates my business. read more

Fantastic! I had been avoiding going to the dentist for awhile but popped a few fillings on a scuba trip and had to make an emergency appointment. Dr. Crawford was able to get me in right away to look at the damage and was able to present me with some great options. One of the best dental experiences I have ever had. Dr. Crawford and hygienist Becky were great about explaining their findings and making sure I was comfortable during the examination. They were also great about working with my insurance and providing me good estimates Dr. Crawford even checked back with me to see how a tooth was feeling because she remembered I was leaving town! read more

My Wednesday was made productive by starting with my dental cleaning at Columbia City dental. Dr. Megan Crawford was very warm & thorough. My hygienist was kind, gentle & not to mention very considerate. I will be coming for my regular cleaning services. read more

Meghan is the kindest and most gentle dentist I have ever been to. I live 2 hrs away from Seattle and I still continue to return to Columbia City Dental twice a year for my regular exams. She's a gem!! read more

Short version: really great experience at Columbia City Dental. The office is modern, clean and cozy, with all of the state-of-the-art dental equipment right in my neighborhood. The staff is warm and friendly, and Dr. Crawford's chair-side manner made everything seem easy and alright. Best experience ever in the dentists chair; so much so, I scheduled my 6 month cleaning before I left. Long version: I am not a fan of going to the dentist, none at all! I suffer the experience as a necessary evil to have healthy teeth. Going into the dentist, I expect to have my time wasted waiting until long after my appointment time, and then stuck waiting some more in the chair, etc. In the last 5 years I have gone to 4 different dentists. I was looking for a modern practice that accepts my dental insurance and would guide my dental health plan. Unfortunately, in these years of searching I had the spa-dentist, that was more interested in her own celebrity and selling me services than my teeth; to another dentist that advised me to get really expensive dental work (e.g. Invisalign, braces) that I don't believe I need. I didn't like the experience with my previous dentists, so I went looking for a new provider and came across Columbia City Dental. Overall, it's all about the staff and Dr. Crawford. Really nice, friendly and professional, they took the time to talk me through each step of my cleaning. I think it's great having someone chat me up about what they are doing in my mouth and why. For the first time in my 30+ years of going to the dentist I had a warm-fuzzy feeling and wanted to hug my dentist! I came away with clean teeth, a positive evaluation of my dental health--always a winner. Also, Dr. Crawford didn't try to talk me into any orthodontia or any products-for-purchase. I got what I needed: high quality dental care. I came away with more than I expected: the best experience at the dentist, ever. read more

After a couple of years of not going to the dentist due to not having insurance, I stumbled upon this place by accident. Made my first appointment two years ago and have not gone anywhere else but here. The office is small and comfy not a typical dentist place. The hygienist was awesome - he was super friendly and he even remembered things we talked about from the last visit. Dr. Crawford is super awesome too! I love that they don't try to push other services on you unless it's absolutely necessary. I would recommend this place to other people I know. Wish you guys were open on Mondays too!!! read more

Had my first cleaning with Dr. Crawford today!! The office is very cozy, the staff was SUPER friendly and Dr Crawford was SUPER gentle and conservative! Great experience ....trust me; I am a dentist! read more

Super central new office right in the heart of Columbia City. Just went in today for a cleaning and check up and loved the place. Dr. Meghan and Becky her hygienist are so professional and friendly. Cleaning and checkup was gentle and very thorough. The office is super clean and state of the art. Fantastic new local business that I will be bringing the whole family back to! read more

Dr Heidi and staff are all fantastic. They got me in quickly for a second opinion and were as friendly and professional as can be. Unfortunately, my tooth was uncooperative and wouldn't get numb, so Dr. Heidi was super gracious and called my other dentist to explain the situation and told me I should let him try after a few days. I ended up having to leave without getting the work done, but my two visits with them were so pleasant I felt the need to write this review. read more

New to the area and looking for a good in-network provider to replace a lost filling and become primary provider. Made the appointment a few days in advance for the replacement, and arrived early with requested paperwork for appointment at which time was told the appointment was for an x-ray and exam and a follow up no earlier than four days later to replace the filling could be accommodated. I'm a bit in extremis due to pain from already missing the filling for several days, and frustrated that the reason for the confusion was that the primary receptionist had been out and I hadn't received proper explanation at the time of making the appointment. Lost work time in addition to further discomfort force me to give Columbia City Dental a one star review. Will seek dental care elsewhere going forward. read more

I've experienced the gamut in dental care from the HMO assembly line to the high-end hard-sell to a truly fantastic dentist I adored in San Francisco. Dr Crawford is excellent. Great friendly staff, nice open bright atmosphere, no nonsense approach to healthy teeth, good communication and attentive throughout. I've been for three cleanings and I highly recommend this office. read more

The Best Dental Experience I have ever had. I've seen a lot of dentists in the past and this by far is the best experience I've ever had. Dr Meghan is a "real" human being! She's honest, gracious, kind and loving and has a great sense of humor. She made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She gave me a few options to take care of my cracked tooth and the choice was up to me. I had seen a dentist who quoted me an astronomical price and Her prices were significantly lower but clearly provides better service. Another provider also told me I had 5 cavities and realized after seeing Dr. Meghan that the prior dentist had lied to me. We didn't mention that to Dr Meghan but realized very quickly that she is honest and clearly has integrity and passion to provide excellent fair service! Thank you Dr Meghan and your lovely team! You have a client for Life! read more

Both myself and my one-year-old has seen the dentist at Columbia city dental. They were great. Even at one point when my child was very Squirrley they entertained him with toys and other things while I finished up.I feel very welcomed and this place is very family-friendly. Recommended for anybody especially all the new families in Columbia city read more

I love this place. It seems strange that I would be so excited about a dental office, but I moved from Seattle to Tacoma last year and REFUSE to change dentists so I make the drive north so I can continue seeing Dr. Crawford. She is great. Everyone on her staff is skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. They do great work. The office is clean and bright. There is plenty of parking in the neighborhood. read more

Going to the dentist is my least favorite thing. They were Great! Took the time. Explained things. Followed up. For a dentist visit I enjoyed it! read more

As good as it gets. My previous dentist retired after I had been seeing him for thirty years. I had great trepidation about finding a new dentist. One visit and all my fears were gone. Great people, great work! read more

I recently moved to Seattle and like most people was in search for a good dentist. Most of the dentists that I was recommended were too far from my house, so I ended up looking for reviews online. I took a risk and went to Columbia City Dental... best decision. I'm always very anxious when I go to the dentists but the staff was so friendly and competent that all the anxieties disappeared. Hal was great.. one of the best and least painful cleanings I've had so far. Dr. Meghan was also very friendly and was ready to answer and discuss all my questions. All in all a great experience. I'll be going back again for my regular check-ups. read more

This was not so bad. Dr. Meghan was awsome. I was very nervous and anxious about my appointment. She accommodated me and my fears. I will definitely go back with any dental issues. I was so impressed with her bed side manner. She walked me outside to my ride which is of heard of and called me several hours later to check on me. One in a million kind of dentist. Already have recommended her to two people today. Thanks your new patient Stephanie read more

I'm a new customer to CCD and I am glad I found them! I had been looking for a dentist office for quite some time and I found the best one that I have ever been to. The office is just off Rainier Ave in Columbia City and easy to find. The staff is great and caring. My cleaning may have been the most gentile one I had ever experienced. I went back a few days later for a filling and it was painless. The office is state of the art and you get some great views from the dental chairs! read more

Dr. Meghan makes going to the dentist enjoyable for once! She has state of the art equipment, thorough knowledge, and is incredibly friendly. I commented once on the music playing and she offered to let me change the Pandora station if I wanted! She really cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and confident in the job getting done right. I already referred my Mom and a friend and would strongly recommend her to anyone! read more

I had not visited a dentist in 15 years, so I was not looking forward to visiting Columbia City Dental. Everyone involved-- from the receptionist to the doctor immediately put me at ease. The hygienist was gentle and wonderfully mannered, explaining everything along the way. Dr. Crawford spent a good deal of time with me going over everything, and gave me concrete figures on how much it would cost to have two cavities filled. I can't recommend this place more for anyone looking for a low cost, high quality dental experience. Fear not! read more

I wish that it was possible to award more stars. I am not one of the masses that is scared of the dentist and such, however if I was this is where I would want to be. Everyone in the office is professional and genuine. I feel absolutely welcomed and that they really do care from the second I walk in the door. So glad that by complete luck of the draw I ended up in your dentist chair. As long as Dr. Crawford is practicing and accepting my insurance I will not be going any where else! I could say more but instead just go check it out for yourself. If you are in the market for a dentist and you want one that feels like family, look no further. read more

Dr. Crawford is awesome. Great bed side manner, if that's a thing. Becky is awesome too. They're both hilarious. And talented. Two thumbs up. Down with Roeper, Siskel lives! read more

Truly the best dental experience I've ever had. Her office is unlike any other I've been in, it's actually calming, and doesn't scream icky dentist. She was kind and patient and we somehow managed to chat up a storm in between cleaning and flossing. She's great! read more

Dr Meghan has an excellent understanding of the meaning of "bedside" manners or in this case "chairside". She and her staff are professional yet personable. The office is equipped with the latest and greatest technology and she is extremely proficient. I highly recommend Dr Meghan and her staff, look forward to many years of being one of her patients. read more

Dr Crawford is a highly skilled dentist with great chair-side manner. She listens and is patient. Her office is clean, high tech, and in a great location in the heart of Columbia City. My kids LOVE going to have their teeth cleaned here. Great with kids, great with adults - a win for everyone! read more
