The person who has an unreasonable fear of the dentist? That's me. I'm your guy. The staff here were wonderful, and really took care of me and made sure to check in and work with my nerves. They do have state of the art equipment which was very nice to experience including a wonderfully detailed camera so you can see parts of your mouth that you wish you never have. Dr. Kussick, Jay (hygienist), and the support staff were all so caring and very educated on everything from top to bottom. Everything from the setting the appointment online (very easy), the communication before, during, and after the care was top notch. The paperwork at the end of it all was simple to read and made sense to me with a treatment plan for what I am after (pearly whites like a movie star baby), with costs neatly laid out and everything. For having such an unreasonable fear for the dentist, this was such a nice experience, and I will highly recommend the Team here to anyone with my fear or not, they will take care of you! read more

In short: The best dental experiences I've ever had. Seriously. In long: I needed a dentist urgently - broken tooth acting up - and my erstwhile dentist was WAY far away in another town. Thankfully, the very-efficient and amiable Megan at Dr. Kussick's office was able to get me in the same day. I've had some pretty awful dental experiences in the past, resulting in near-crippling dental anxiety. So hearing that I needed a root canal in any other situation would likely have resulted in heart palpitations and a tension headache. But Dr. Kussick and his staff listened to my concerns, addressed my anxiety and came up with a plan that would get me out of pain and fix my mouth. While I can't promise that your root canal will be as painless as mine, I can promise you that Dr. Kussick will try his best to make it so. It's easyish to find a dentist who can do good work. Maybe even to find a dentist who will be gentle and communicative. However, it's more difficult to find those qualities in the same dentist. If you're reading this review, then you already have; Dr. Kussick is your guy. I've since gone on to get a cleaning and a crown from Dr. Kussick. Speaking of cleaning... both of the hygienists I've seen were excellent as well! read more

Hal Kussick DDS - Modern digital X-rays. - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As someone who was looking for a new dentist, I contacted them because the reviews were very good. They offered me an appointment and directed me to their website to complete my new patient forms, which I did same day. When I reached out to them later to see if they were able to contact my old dentist to get my records, they told me I didn't have an appointment, that the time they had given me was already filled and to call to request an appointment. I'm not sure they would have told me that I didn't have the time they offered me if I hadn't emailed them to check-in about my records. When I called, they told me they had enough info to reach out to my dentist, but that they had not, and that they wanted to do full xrays, which I objected to as I had already had xrays. When we couldn't find a time that worked after a couple of suggestions, the person on the phone recommended I look somewhere else, which I will be doing. read more

Hal is the best. Took care of me last minute, staff also amazing. I could go on and on but look no further if you are in SLU or Bell Town. Hal even rides his bike to work! read more

I just moved to Seattle and one of my biggest fears was not finding a good dentist. I found him! Dr Kussick proved to be well educated, kind, and with excellent dental skills. The mouth is a very small place to work and Dr Kussick managed with dexterity to give me painless, precise dental treatments. His assistants seem happy to work with him and reflect his standard for excellence. I can highly recommend Dr. Kussick if you are looking for a good dentist. read more

Excellent experience overall, with easy scheduling, a top notch staff , a brandnew office space with modern modern equipment [I'm used to older offices with wear and tear and dated gear]. The cleaning was fast, painless and professional. They explain everything, including the tools used and how they work. Dr. Kussick then looked over every x-ray, in detail, explaining what they look for and how to resolve any issues that came up. Very thorough! read more

I have gone to a lot of dental offices and I'm happy most of the times but I have to say I have mix feelings with this dental office. Pros : it's in SLU so it's very easy to get to. They have this TV screen for you to watch movie when you have your teeth cleaned, which is a great idea. Cons : I'm in between 2-3 stars but I give this 3 stars because of doctor Jea. I had a deep cleaning session with her and she had to do all the work by herself with no assistant but she was very gentle, attentive and she was so kind to check up on you the next day to make sure things were ok. I'll give her 5 stars. The 2 stars is sadly for Dr Kussick. I came back for the second session of deep cleaning and it was done by him, the experience was not very positive. First, he injected some numb medication too roughly on my gum that it really hurt. I had this done many times before and other doctors are just much more careful and gentle. Dr Kussick was rough. To make it worse, he had an assistant to work with on my teeth and he kept chatting with the assistant during the session. I hope Dr Kussick knows that's it's one of the top pet peeves for most people. It's so simple, if you work on someone's teeth you don't chit chat, other than talking to your patient. The job was done on my teeth quite quickly and I didn't feel it's the same quality with Dr.Jea's work. His assistant later cleaned my teeth as the last step and the job was also poorly done. I left with residue left on my teeth. Overall my second teeth cleaning session was done without attentiveness, also it felt like a business transaction only, just to get things done/over with. I'm disappointed. It's normally hard to go wrong with dentists. So I'd say I would not come back, but if you do come here, ask for Jea. read more

I'm pretty much a veteran of this office at this point and I can be honest to say that I actually kind of looked forward to going to the dentist because everyone here is wonderful and so accommodating. Stay awesome dental 888 and definitely keep this place in mind if you work/live in SLU read more

Couldn't be happier with Dr. Kussick and his sweet staff! The team was so positive and careful when working. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy and my teeth were sparkly clean! Loved the comfortable and modern vibe read more

Hal Kussick DDS - Happy and clean teeth after our visit with Dr. Kussick and his sweet staff! - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Have you ever heard about ACID BURN from a dental visit? I've not till it happened to me recently. I went in for simple front teeth filling replacements. During the procedure, I noticed some liquid dropped on my face while a lot of splashing and drilling going on. I didn't feel much since my face was numbed for the treatment. During the break, I asked the assistant to wipe the liquid of my face. She done so with a wet tissue and no word was mentioned about what happened to my face. Mr Kussick came in and completed the procedure. Still no words mentioned about my face. I found out only after looking into a mirror with a total shock! Not till then Mr. Kussick started by saying acid split sometimes happened and blamed that my skin was TOO SENSITIVE in reacting to it. REALLY!! Did he just mention it's ACID!! He tried to make me feel it's my skin problem not because of his careless behavior. Not until I asked for discount, they started apologizing. I still paid a big portion of the service. Now I am walking around and go to meetings with a burn on my face while having the emotional scarcity of a scar on my face. Not to mention the cost of special care and medication needed in the following weeks. Horrible experience. Be aware!! read more

Hal Kussick DDS - Got an acid burn from a simple filling replacement visit. Horrible. Additional cost on after care and afraid of scar - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Dr Kussick is a fantastic dentist who doesn't compromise on standards. He is a perfectionist in every way and his team of dental hygienists & staff are all super friendly. The clinic is new and clean and I have already recommended this place to a few friends. The best part -- their pricing is very fair compared to some of the others downtown. read more

This is a practice you can trust. There is a lot of trust needed when going to the dentist. You sit in a chair and have someone poke at your teeth for a while. Then the dentist comes in gives you a diagnoses and you sort of have to go with what they say. Like taking your car in, you never know how thorough or how switched on your mechanic is. Well, technology seems to have helped to change that. When I visited Dental@888 I was impressed with how thorough the hygienist was with my teeth. She refused to let a piece of tartar (and there was lots) remain. She scratched and rubbed for quite a while making sure no corner was left unseen. Then some cool UV photos of my teeth followed by an analysis with Dr. Kussick. He quickly spotted a little tooth decay on one of my molars and rather than describe it to me (which would have meant me having to trust what he said) he showed it to me with the UV photos. Super cool. So I need to go back and have this little problem worked on but it seems like no big deal. I know I will be in good hands. + Very thorough, cool use of technology, ultra modern office, free coffee, friendly staff - You may just find you have something in your mouth you don't want to find. Like a cavity! read more

Dr. Kussick is wonderful, as is his staff. He is extremely thorough, explains everything so well and is a really nice guy to boot. The hygienist took extra time on my sensitive teeth and reception and x-rays were as pleasant and efficient as can possibly be. Everything is new and sparkling clean. I'm so glad I found them! read more

I need to change my dentist asap. All my experiences with people from 888 Kussick have not been good. If I could give them a negative score I would. Hands down my worst dental experience ever. What makes it so bad is the office personnel - definitely unprofessional include Hal Kussick Bad experience with Dentist. Front desk is very unprofessional, and I have noticed a high turnover rate of employees. read more

I have been to Dr. Kussick twice - once for a routine teeth cleaning and then for a root canal/crown. Both the times, I had one of the most wonderful experiences working with a dentist. He is very thorough, explains everything very clearly and gives you enough time to ask clarifying questions. Not only that, when I wrote him an email about one of my concerns, he addressed my concern within a couple of hours. I am visiting him again for the rest of my root canal/crown work, and I can gladly recommend him to anyone. Hail to thee, Dr. Hal! :) read more

One of the best experience i've had. i had a meeting scheduled after this lunch break dentist visit. i shouldn't have rushed since i have not had my teeth looked at in two years and this was my first time to this time. but when i explained my schedule to Dr. Kussick, he did everything quickly yet still explained my problem areas and next steps very clearly. i referred my husband here right away! almost looking forward to go back for my next cleaning... read more

We have been going to Dr Kussick for many years. This is his new office, after having spent some time working in Singapore. Dr Kussick is incredibly good at what he does, very caring towards his patients and utterly professional. He uses the latest technology for his dental care, yet doesn't push for unneeded treatments. He has a very balanced and no nonsense approach to dentistry -- I trust him 150% with his recommendations. Should you have dental emergencies (which happened to me once), he makes himself readily available to help. Appointments are easy to get, and his staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend him. And if you work at Amazon, or any of those places in SLU, you have no reason not to see him. read more

Let me start by saying that I am terrified of the dentist. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my level of fear at an 11. After not having been to the dentist in nearly 5 years and having tooth pain, I realized that it was time to face the music. From booking my first appointment to finishing up my cleaning, I had an excellent experience. The receptionist was friendly and informative, the hygenist and technician were cheerful and calming, and Dr. Kussick was very professional. I returned for one more appointment (fillings), and got to watch Netflix (Netflix!) while the dentist did his work. Overall, I had a positive experience with Dental@888 and would highly recommend this office. read more

Well how-dee-do! I just had a good experience at the dentist??! Dr. Kussick and his staff at Dental@888 in South Lake Union were professional, nice, and didn't hurt me during my cleaning. Yay!! Going back next week for a little filing work, and almost looking forward to it! If you are looking for a new place for dental care, I would highly recommend. read more

My husband went to this office for the first time last week for a semi-annual check up. My husband thought the staff was very good and overall had a great experience here. read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr Kussick or his practice. Great quality work, super professional and thorough. Dr Kussick is also really transparent about the work that needs to be done and takes the time to explain it. He is amazingly patient (I've had some less then stellar dental experiences in the past and my reticence took some patience to deal with :-) ... and his staff is every bit as professional, kind, and patient as he is. Wonderful practice. Lucky to have found them. read more

These people are amazing. I hadn't been to the dentist in years and was really nervous to back, but my fiancé recommended them to me. He was in the same boat and said that they did a great job and were really friendly so I decided to check them out. The receptionist, Sierra, is awesome. Very friendly and always on top of communicating with you regarding appointment times, billing questions, things like that. I also appreciate that she always offered me coffee or tea each time I came to an appointment which was three in total so far. My first appointment was X-Rays and a comprehensive exam of my teeth since I hadn't seen a dentist in so long. Dr Kussick was very thorough and answered all of my questions and also went over exactly what they would need to do in my next visits. He made me feel very much at ease and not nervous at all. On top of that, he's just a really nice guy and very professional. My hygienist, Crystal, was also great. She also, was very friendly and did a really nice job on my teeth. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the cleaning which was really nice, considering there was a lot of deep cleaning to do. Also, Larisa was wonderful as well. She assisted Dr Kussick during two fillings that I had done. I was also offered some Netflix while they worked on me, which I thought was brilliant. I can't recommend this location enough, really. If you're just looking for a new dentist or like me, hadn't gone in a while and are nervous about it, then see them. I also didn't have any dental insurance which was worrying since I'm on a tight budget. Sierra helped me get a CitiHealth card so I can make monthly payments instead. On a side note, I also really appreciate the quality of equipment they used which all seemed to be brand new. The rooms and lobby were also spotless. You all rock!!! Thank you so much!!! And also, thanks for the warm chocolately chip cookies at the end of each visit :) read more

EXCELLENT experience! Very professional. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful when it comes to booking appointments, billing, etc.. Dr. Kussick and the assistants do great work and always make sure I'm comfortable and relaxed, whether it's giving me a warm blanket or just explaining everything in an easy way that I can understand. The office is very clean and they even offer some refreshments while you wait. I HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a new dentist. I always used to dread going to the dentist and would get super bad anxiety but that has not been the case since I started coming here. :) read more

Totally UNSATISFIED with work ethics!! I've never felt so taken ADVANTAGE of in all of my life! I'm in the dental chair having a tooth worked on, and Dr. Kussick says "do you want me to replace this filling WHILE I already have local anethesia ... it would be free under your insurance" I know my budget and what I can and cannot pay for, I decided to seize the opportunity and since I didn't have to pay anymore out of pocket. I went for it, better to get it right then at no additional costs, then have to have it done at a later date. I get to the front desk and the charge was doubled!!!! I told the front desk what Dr. SCAM said and she replies with a simple, "oh, he doesn't know whats going on with insurances"... UHM, THEN DON'T LIE TO your patients and say its free and put them right there on the spot. I paid what I was told the cost of the visit would be (before this "FREE" re-filling) because that's all budgeted for! I get a call looking for the additional payment and told the lady I spoke with what happened and that it wasn't right that I had to pay when I was told it was free... said she would look into it and never got a call back. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL way of handling matters! I agree with the high turnover rate of employees mentioned previously! DON'T TRUST THIS DENTIST!!!!! read more

Another awesome appointment with Dr Kussick! Had a wisdom tooth waaaaayy in the back that was breaking off into my gumline and causing me a lot of discomfort. Again, everyone was crazy nice, they made sure I was nice and numb, and 10 mins later I'm free of the evil tooth! read more

I have found there are good dentists and bad dentists and then there are dentists you go out of your way to go back to. I was particularly impressed when he noticed a small problem with a cavity he put in and offered to repair it free of charge, it sounds simple enough, but considering how many cavities I have had break due to previous dentist incompetence only to be charged to fix it I am pleased with Dr Kussicks workmanship and honesty. read more

Sooooo nice and painless work. I lucked out just walking by and they had time for me . thanks
