Dr. Thelen goes above and beyond to make sure one gets the best dental care. He did special things for me without charge like fixing my old dentures while I was waiting for my new ones to come back from the lab. He also gave me half off a tooth whitening kit, and when I called back to say I was having issues with the lab's fitting they got me in right away and the best dentist and I'm very lucky to have found him.

Dr Thelen's office fit the bill, and when I got there, all of people there were completely charming. I ended up needing a root canal on the tooth and then a crown on top of that. They helped me immediately understand how much of that would be my obligation (ie not covered by insurance) and presented me with financing options for which I could apply. Since I've had my permanent crown put on, I've been back for a cleaning/check-up. They remember me perfectly 6 months later and ask me about the things that I had going on. Seriously funny/fun people, too! I will not fear going to THiS dentist ever!

***This office is NOT FOLLOWING COVID-19 guidelines. Do not go here.***…read more An update for those considering going to this office (see below for my original review): As you see from the Owner's reply (Dr. Wencel), they didn't address (let alone apologize) for the disregard for patient health that Dr. Sobczak showed when he sang, unmasked and in my direction, during my cleaning (when I too was unmasked). Instead, she defended her staff and partner being unmasked inside their office and belittled me by pointing out things I "may not have noticed" (which I did). Face shields are not replacements for masks (according to the CDC), and NO MASK being worn, not to mention around an unmasked patient, is 100% unacceptable. I think their reply speaks for itself. If you want to be in a place that doesn't take your health and safety seriously and where the owners are defensive when presented with issues at their practice, then this is the place for you.

You want to know how good Dr Curtis is? I lived in Southern California for 7 months last year and flew back to Seattle from San Diego just to get my teeth cleaned.

On the last visit I had a 2 root canals that I don't think I needed. I should have gotten a second opinion so partially my fault. After that visit my teeth that had the root canals turned yellow. Which was never mentioned as a side effect of the procedure even the waiver I signed had no mention of it. They weren't very helpful and offered to fix it for several hundred dollars per tooth! No thank you I will take my business elsewhere from now on.

They misrepresented treatment to be given, options available, price of services, and later increased price owed with no notification. I came into Dr Huddleston's office with a abscessed tooth needing a root canal. I originally called as a referral of my family doctor. He recommended I call Dr Huddleston to either have him do the root canal or to get a referral of a dental surgeon. When I called I spoke with Debbie. I told Debbie I was looking for an oral surgeon because I wanted to be put under for the root canal. I DID NOT want to be awake for the procedure. Debbie politely talked with me about what I was experiencing and said she couldn't give me a surgeon's name but assured me they could handle everything in their office. So I agreed to come in the next day After arriving at the office I was informed that they are not equipped to put people under and could only do a general local anesthetic. At this point I was already in a great deal of pain & very sick so I didn't want to risk getting any worse. I begrudgingly agreed to go ahead with the procedure knowing it would hurt very badly. I had provided my insurance info prior to the visit and was told there would be a nominal cost for me. So at least I felt assured in that. I never met Dr. Huddleston and only met his assistants. One woman came in and said they may be able to save the tooth as it was very badly damaged, but also told me I needed to get a root canal on another tooth on the other side. They told me if I didn't do it soon I would lose the other tooth. I was already in pain and on medications for it so I was pretty scared and terrified now. I asked how much this would all cost and they said they would check my insurance and let me know. After sitting in the chair waiting for about 15 minutes Debbie came back in. She sat down with me and showed me the total cost of the procedure which she said would be about $1250 for one tooth or $2500 for both. She said my insurance would cover $900 of it and I would have to pay the rest myself. I worked out a payment plan then with them for three more payments of $100 each, one of which I was paying that day. So I had two more payments. I then went to prep for the operation. But right before they started drilling the doctor lady came in again and said I had one final release of liability to sign that said that some equipment could break off in my mouth and some other major complications could happen. They presented this to me RIGHT as I was about to have my mouth drilled and had already had local anesthetic applied. I was terrified at this point. This was the worst time to try to present another release of liability. The entire time of this surgery I was thinking of equipment breaking off in my mouth. .. which it did. It took them an hour longer to do the surgery they expected. The hygienist couldn't keep the spring clamp connected right and metal kept flying all over the office. The drill bit broke, my mouth was killing me from being open for three hours, and I was now crying from pain since the local was wearing off or having little effect. This was why I wanted to be put under. So I didn't have to experience this moment. And they assured me... this moment wouldn't come. The hygienist eventually rushed through the end of the procedure getting the filling in. They said they couldn't put a crown on at this point which is something I thought they would be able to do. They said I'd have to come back for that. I have no intention on ever returning here again. But then today I get a phone call from Debbie saying my credit card on file declined. The one I gave them had become lost and I didn't update it. I called her back right away to update the credit card because I thought this was my final payment of $100. I was then informed I still had a balance of $295 dollars left to pay off. It turns out that my insurance paid for less than I was originally told and Debbie never notified me. She just planned on billing my credit card until it was paid off. This is an extremely shady business practice. Everything Debbie told me from being able to be put under, to costing just $300, to having nothing to worry about in regards to the surgery, to there being only a little pain was either a lie or misleading. I will never recommend this office to anyone ever.

Our consult was great. I found him knowledgeable, experienced to the extreme and very personable. I definitely don't understand why someone would characterize him as rude because he was very polite and interested in me and what had brought me to his office. I was most surprised by his low pricing relative to his reputation and amount of experience! For about 3-4 months I had investigated the cost and where to go to complete a total mouth reconstruction. I.e. implants and fixed dentures. I spent weeks researching and meeting with dental consultants. I came to Dr. Feldman's office assuming he would provide me with the upper range in pricing for dental implants. His prices were actually lower than non surgeons with a third of his experience. If you read my other reviews, you will see that I always do my homework with regards to getting things done that matter. Without a doubt Dr. Feldman and Dr. Bloomquist at Swedish in Seattle are the best in the Pacific Northwest at dental and maxillofacial surgery.

A piece of bone was protruding from my jaw, lacerating my tongue every time I spoke. I went to a dentist who referred me to Dr Feldman - I got an appointment right away - which made me happy- late in the afternoon. This was 2 years ago - but from the office you'd think it was 1978- the receptionist was aghast that I had not brought my checkbook. I hadn't written a check in years - they did not have the ability to take any kind of credit/debit cards. Then they came to get me, taking another complete set of ex rays - One of the first things Dr Feldman told me my drs were idiots and that there was no way cancer could be diagnosed from dental ex rays - which struck me odd - Drs don't usually bad mouth each other. After that he looked at the ex rays then told me that he was leaving in 2 hours to fly to Singapore to meet a grandchild and that someone would contact me in 2 weeks to schedule something - he had only taken my appointment to "get another one in " before his vacation then he was gone. I was in pain and all he did was try to cast doubt in my medical team - milk my insurance and leave. Funny thing though - I managed to fall a asleep that night - when I woke up the next morning - it was gone - it had broken off in the night - less than 10 hours after he looked at my ex rays. You'd think one could tell. I never heard from him again - but he continues to bill me the $40 co pay - I am sure it has cost him more than that to try to wring the $40- I hope since then he has upgraded his office to include those new fangled card readers Why'd I wait so long? I had another oral surgery nightmare recently and it all came back- honestly I thought he was no longer practicing - he seemed pretty close to being on his last legs then. He left me scared and in pain and danced off

As a practitioner myself in another healthcare discipline, I felt especially angered for a couple of reasons. One, this is no way to treat customers, or people in general for that matter. Two, as a clinician myself, I would be extremely angered to hear that the office staff was solely and independently making making judgment calls as to whether or not a patient is a "good fit" without consulting with me first. I have since made an appointment with another dental office that also specializes in endodontics and will continue to refer others to Olympic Modern Dentistry based on the positive, and professional experience I have received from start to finish.

When the insurance denied the claim the tried to have us pay until I confronted them about the false charges then they claimed that they had "accidentally put down the wrong codes" which I find very disturbing either way. I believe it was a blatant attempt at insurance fraud. When I tried to pay the correct bill later they refused to take my visa over the phone. Now my wife is going to a new dentist and when the new dentist requested a copy of her file, with her consent, Dr. Herbison asked to charge $25 to send the x-rays. The new dentist had received her file and notice that the x-rays that were taken were the wrong type for what needed to be done and that they were a more expensive charge to the insurance company. When I did go in to pay my bill they were nothing but rude to me and seemed irritated that I wanted to pay off my account. I suggest staying away from Dr. Herbison as I believe he is more of a scam artist then a dentist.
