I saw Dr. Neal at his Northgate office for an extraction and implant for a single molar…read more The day of my extraction I was prepped and then left waiting for almost 45 minutes while he was (as his assistant told me) cleaning up a shattered tooth on the patient before me. When Dr. Neil finally arrived he was agitated, rough, and clumsy, even dropping a piece of equipment into my mouth and barking "don't swallow that!" After the procedure he disappeared quickly without comment, leaving the assistant to apologize and offer care advice. On my return check up Dr. Neil kept me waiting for 30 minutes and was again visibly agitated. He had trouble removing the cap on my implant and for the second time dropped a tool in my mouth. By the time he'd finished my lip was bleeding and I had a bruise on my cheek. He left without offering reassurance or apology. Two weeks have passed and my jaw is still aching from this encounter. Honestly, I was a bit stunned; Craig Neal's rough manner, lack of social skills, and clumsy handling of tools was surprising considering the extravagant cost of the procedure.

I was super nervous and the team at Northgate was very helpful and able to calm my nerves. I went under general anesthesia, and I know reactions are very personal but I was coherent and in my right mind when they read me the post-op care instructions, even though I did have someone there. This tells me they are skilled at giving you the right dosage. I had little pain after surgery and healed quickly and easily with sleep and the medication I was given. Basically no pain by day 3, no bruising on my face. I didn't shop around because Dr. Guo was recommended by my dentist, and I felt very safe that he is a MD as well as a DMD. To me the price with my insurance was reasonable for three teeth and the level of expertise I got. I also wasn't charged for the consultation or the follow up. Highly recommend!

This experience was years in the making for me…read more I've been on a holistic healing journey, especially with managing my MS, and removing my mercury fillings has been on my bucket list for nearly 9 years. I remember calling Dr. Paul Rubin back then, hoping one day I'd go through with it. I didn't realize until recently that this is the same clinic, now led by Dr. Birrer, and it's even in the same building I work in. It felt incredibly full circle and serendipitous. During my appointment, Goldie and Dr. Birrer were amazing. I have anxiety when it comes to needles, and Dr. Birrer was so gentle, patient, and understanding. He took his time, made sure I was comfortable, and approached everything with such a calm and reassuring energy that completely changed the experience for me. At one point, I had tears rolling down my face, but they were happy tears. I couldn't believe I was finally doing something I had dreamed about for so long, and everything was going so smoothly. It truly felt surreal. And now I can't stop looking at my teeth. I'm honestly in love with them. They look perfect. Dr. Birrer is truly a master of his craft, and it shows in every detail. This was more than just a dental appointment. It was a deeply personal and healing experience. I'm so grateful for the care and compassion I received here. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone. I also got a cleaning here, and Morgan and Lee were incredible. I could literally see the difference in how clean my teeth were.

I had a front tooth abutment and received care from Dr. Cristea and Dr. Javier...I'm not sure if either of them had first names, but they were simply incredible. They were both charming, witty, put me at ease, and made me laugh. I'm not fond of dental visits, but they made this horrific experience quite enjoyable. They didn't sugar coat anything and told me the good and the bad. The whole staff were excellent as well and didn't miss anything. They even put up with my constant gagging (I've had it since childhood, and I believe it to be a sign of genius). I would not hesitate to recommend this group to anyone.

They will schedule you for more maintenance than you requested without knowing. They will also say you need deep cleanings and diagnose you incorrectly to get more money. I have since gone to new dentists and they are confused why I was getting deep cleanings and diagnosed the way I was. Some of the hygienists are great I will say and some are very judgmental, rude, and aggressive. Overall don't recommend anymore.

So... It's uncomfortable to write a negative review because SOME of the staff here are very nice -…read morethe hygienist in particular is very pleasant. But my experience with this dentists office has been overall very negative. First of all, they are not great with kids. My 6 year old was chastised and shamed for not being able to hold still enough for them to paint her teeth with something. Not great, but ok - they are not listed as a pediatric dentist, so maybe that's on us. But then there were other, ongoing issues: 1. As others have noted, it's impossible to get an appointment with them. They are regularly booking 9 months out. It's also VERY hard to reach someone on the phone - they really want you to book through their website. 2. Because of having to book super far in the future, I have had to cancel multiple appointments when the date rolls around. I just can't predict my work schedule etc. Not only is this very hard to do because it's impossible to reach people on the phone, but TWICE I had them charge me a $50 cancelation/ no-show fee because they did not listen to the voice message I left to cancel (because no one answered). 3. The straw that broke the camel's back was this past November, when I got a call on a Thursday evening at 5:30pm checking to see if I would be coming in for a SEVEN AM APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY. I had no record of this appointment in my calendar - and unless I was in a fugue state there is no way I would have EVER booked a dentist appointment at 7am. But there was no convincing them that this was an error - bam, another $50 cancelation fee. In addition to all of this scheduling and cancelation drama, I also want to mention that the dentist here has told me some very unusual things about caring for my teeth. She told me, for example, to *try not to let the toothbrush touch my gums?!* I have definitely had other dentists tell me to make SURE to brush my gums.... I am not a dentist, so I don't want to say this is outright wrong... maybe the advice has changed? But... somehow I doubt it.

They only have one hygienist on staff and the 6-month appointments turn into 8 month appointments…read more The hygienist also works super fast and it's the most painful cleanings I've ever gotten at any dentist. I am now getting ortho treatments and nothing about the angel aligners has been explained to me proactively. They didn't explain the attachments, show me any treatment plan or get me connected with clincheck, didn't explain bite ramps. I found all this information out online - or in the case of the attachments, right after they added them to my teeth. Seems like they're mostly interested in selling the product rather than guiding you through the treatment or keeping you informed. I've left voicemails several times and they are never acknowledged. Questions for my ortho and to reschedule appointments. Once my ortho treatments are done I won't be returning if things don't improve.

My mom was in so much pain that Dr. Sarram told her to take 3 ibuprofen & 1 extra Tylenol together every 8 hrs because that combo is STRONGER than a narcotic. Then, when she went to get the root canal on Thurs, the Dr didn't do it because she wasn't in that much pain!! That night, I almost had to take my mom to the ER due to pain. I called Dr. Sarram Friday morning and she couldn't see my mom until Monday because the office was closed and she had to teach at the UW that day! Then she told me to find another dr!!!! We did and Alderwood Endo is great. They performed the procedure that Monday and one of the 3 roots of the molar was already dead which was causing the significant pain. My mother had to suffer 4 extra days of pain and stress to her 80+ yr old liver taking narcotic levels of pain killers because of Dr. Sarram. Do not be her next patient.

I feel like this place takes advantage of people. I will never return and tell people not to use them. My cap is also way too big and they wouldn't fix it.

Dr. Sage is not only professional and highly skilled, but also very kind and attentive. I would especially like to highlight Julia, the hygienist -- she is incredibly thorough, gentle, and friendly.

While looking through the reviews recently, I was surprised and disappointed to see the overall rating lower than expected. Some reviews, like one I read recently, seem to reflect personal frustration with unrelated incidents rather than the actual dental care provided. Unfortunately, this can misrepresent the excellent service and dedication this team consistently offers. I wanted to leave this review to share our positive and consistent experience over the years. Dr. Sage and his staff deserve far more than 3 stars -- they've absolutely earned 5 stars in our book!
