The lady answering the phone at the front desk (name starts with a B I believe) is rude and nasty!…read moreMy mom called in concern as to why she received a $50 bill and insurance is supposed to fully cover, then the lady had the audacity to have an attitude instead of being of ASSISTANCE. Where's your customer service? In the first phone conversation, she refused to remove the $50 charge and told my mom to contact the insurance provider instead. Frustrated, my mom then tells the lady she won't be coming back and to cancel the appointment she was having later in August. Then moments later, my mom received a call back stating somebody in the office removed the $50 charge -- what they should've done in the first place. Now the part that blows me is that lady tells my mom "but you will have to find another provider as we cancelled your august appointment" with a voice of tone as if my mom is no longer allowed there. When in reality, my mom had told her in the first phone conversation SHE NEVER WANTED TO RETURN. Then the lady on the phone ends the conversation after my mom says thank you & goodbye, with attitude saying "mhmmm". Not you're welcome or have a good day, anything? -- If you don't have any sense of professionalism or customer service, get a new job. Because you're clearly unfit for the role. Side note: there's a sprinkle of racism involved here because clearly my mom is a woman of color with an accent so the person on the phone at this dentist office was getting annoyed and frustrated.

It was challenging making the trek to the West Seattle location with the bridge closure which is funny now that I think of it... the month I got my braces off... they open the bridge!!! P.S.

They will do the…read moresame bracket over and over expecting a different result, the workers would rather talk to each other than focus on working on your mouth (I've been stabbed in the gums by two different people because they felt they needed to look up and talk while working). Also, the front office and the actual workers don't communicate. One side tells me to come in for original appointments after needing a fix and then the other cancels appointment after I had to take time off work to come in. The office doesn't explain why they keep doing the same brackets over and over even when I questioned them saying my teeth are hitting the brackets, they said it was fine and it wasn't as it broke repeatedly. I was never presented with different options and when I asked about transferring my treatment, they first lead with I would owe them the full amount for treatment (bullying), and then the next time I was in the office, they tried gaslighting me that I was bullying them. Please disregard their reply as it's just them saving face.

DENTAL CHAIN IN TUKWILLA. The dentist and the hygienist…read morewere great when I first came in, though the receptionist tried to upsell me on fluoride treatment and some laser treatment. I declined, thinking that a receptionist should not recommend a laser treatment when she is not a qualified dentist or hygienist. In fact, after I refused, she asked me, "Do your gums bleed?" I replied, "No, they do not," but once again, I think it is inappropriate for a receptionist to be asking medical questions. Questions like that should only be asked by my dental professional. As for my experience in the chair, I was first greeted by the dental assistant, who took my x-ray and then sat me down to polish my teeth. I was surprised by this as I am used to having that done AFTER the scaling, and it prompted me to ask about it. The assistant then said, "Oh, I am the assistant, and the hygienist will do the scaling." The hygenist seemed to do a good job, so no complaints there. The dentist came in later and discussed my X-rays in depth, suggesting some additional minor work, which I have scheduled for next week. Other than that, I suppose the treatment was fine. I decided to retiurn to this practice because my dentist in Nirmandy Park left town and sold the practivce to another firm, that does not take my insurance. I did try another local dentist, but they kept screwing up by billing. So, for the moment I will stick with Bright Now. That said, I and deducting one star for the "upsell" experince at the front desk. Excellcior.

Year after year she believes she is going to be a millionaire and if she just holds on oil prices will pop and etherium will go up 1000%. This is clearly a corporate run dentist.

I have never been treated any other way but with kindness, care and honestly like family. I had braces way back in my teenage years and honestly they made a payment plan with my mom so I could have something that bothered me more than anything. To straighten my teeth. Many many many. Did I say many lol years later I needed more straightening. I wasn't loyal to my retainer and my daughter needed braces also. I could only think of Des Moines Orthodontist. I knew the treatment my daughter would get and the results. They are also a drive as we live in Gig Harbor. Again, I'm not trying to argue with what you experienced but maybe it was something else or simply a misunderstanding.
