Endodontist needed?? No matter who your dentist suggests, call Dr Wittmer and see if your insurance…read moreis covered like mine did with Medicare through United Healthcare. I am so glad Lakewood Endodontics is on the provider list. Couple years ago I had to have a root canal. Now this year I needed another! My Medicare insurance covered both. Your TOOTH HURTS or you would not be searching I bet for an endodontist. That means you want an appointment NOW so to speak. Cool thing this office does is even though they set a date for me I asked to be called if any cancellations or reschedules: they called the next day and I gladly went in a day after first calling. That service is great unlike other medical providers who require you to call in , be on hold, then on hold to see if any openings, and then answering yes or no! Dr Sean Wittner whole office is ten! Upon his inspection, a root canal was needed. Upon the call back I proceeded to be seen even faster! through Endodontist Lakewoods Sean Wittner set an appointment for follow up portion of the root canal too to accomplish in two visits but the first one stopping the pain. Each of my visits, 100% that is, either several minutes before my scheduled time or within 2 minutes I was led back to a room and services commenced immediately (I.e. not waiting for another time period but rather services right away each time). His staff appears as though they love working there and genuinely happy and I told Dr Wittmer that directly as it's so true: it puts a patient in a great mood seeing that. Dr Wittmer explains exactly what he is going to do and shows the visual screen to explain. His quiet voice but stated communications with his assistant Misty in the room also helps reduce any stress too as well as listening to my questions. The rooms look professional also with two toned color schemes and crowns atop doors and windows gives a relaxed professional feeling once you enter the building ( instead of one drab color and blank walls). I hope to use this office the rest of my life if I ever need another root canal as he has performed those twice now perfectly without ever having to correct anything. Give yourself a chance to receive great services too by giving him a call. Address is 10904 Gravelly Lk. Dr Sw, Lakewood Wa 98499 Ph 253 589-3636. ( or go elsewhere and risk a place sitting and waiting, then into a room for sitting again, and wonder who is treating you that day). Hope I helped your desire to give Dr Wittmer a chance to impress you too! Every other office should see how friendly yet efficient this office is. It's worth driving many miles as a sore tooth needing a root canal is bad enough, so offset that with caring professional friendly endodontist.

I was recently referred to Lakewood Endodontics by my dentist, Dr Chad Parker, who is also in…read moreLakewood. I needed a root canal done on a "dead" tooth, & unfortunately my general dentist wasn't able to perform the procedure, as it was a fairly complicated r.c. & my dentist doesn't have the same specialized tools/instruments as an Endodontist has. Dr Sean Wittmer is the Owner of Lakewood Endodontics, & he was able to successfully perform an intricate & lengthy r.c. procedure on me, & save my tooth - hooray! Having r.canals done is no picnic, but Dr Wittmer was gentle & very thorough, & he obviously knows his stuff - almost all my tooth sensitivity & pain & discomfort has disappeared, since I had the r.c. procedure done by Dr Wittmer in early January 2020. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Wittmer to perform your root canals - he is a consummate professional!

My issue is that I paid about half the fees up front, being assured that our insurance would cover the balance. I proceeded to continue gettingbilled for both surgeries every month or so following the initial visit, several hundred dollars at a time. I have no way of knowing if this will stop and am being told by the office that my insurance is to blame. I work in this industry, and this is not the norm.

I tried Modern Family Dentistry and they immediately tried to convince me I needed procedures that would cost $10,000 OUT OF POCKET! Needless to say I looked elsewhere since my former dentist said I didn't need it at all. I received several recommendations for Kamkar Family & Gentle Dentistry. I was amazed that I was able to have deep root cleaning WITHOUT anything but a pill and it worked to perfection! I no longer have any anxiety about dental visits.

Dental visits are a painful, fearful experience for me -- until we found Dr. Kamkar. He is truly incredible! And so amazingly gentle! I am extremely sensitive to jaw and tooth pain and with Dr. Kamkar, I can't even tell when he's working, it's completely painless. Add to all of this the fact that he is funny, friendly, and supportive and his current staff are wonderful. I can't give enough praise. My husband, mother, and I are all so very pleased.

I had to switch dentists when my previous dentist's office couldn't accept my new insurance. I…read morethought my previous dentist was fantastic and I was so bummed! Then along comes Dr. Winter to blow all my expectations out of the water. He may be Hollywood-handsome, but he knows his dentistry!! When he started to hint that a root canal was needed, I completely shut him down. He didn't argue with me. That's how gentle he is. His assistant Trish waited until I was ready for more info and she educated me, then Dr. Winter confirmed why this was the optimal solution for my particular dental concerns. More info always helps me make decisions like this -- vs. info that is scattershot and untrustworthy online. Trish gave me all the factual info I was missing. And then the hygienist Addie blew my mind with all the info she provided on how I can avoid spending more $ than necessary on the periodontal cleanings I need 4x a year. She really listened to all my concerns, and while she had my complete attention (meaning I couldn't yak since she was working on my teeth) she "brain-dumped" all the info I told her I was craving. She knows how to tailor her message to her audience. All without missing a beat as she cleaned my teeth. Great multi-tasker! Incredibly, she managed to turn my few remaining uncrowned teeth to an ivory to match my other teeth. Gone is all the yellow -- in a single cleaning! Why haven't other hygienists in the past done this for me??? Maybe because they were trying to sell me on whitening treatments I wonder? I can't take the risk of bleaching my sensitive teeth, and Addie totally sympathized. She gave me a crash course in protecting my teeth going forward. And last but most emphatically not least, this clinic has the most impressive technological advances I've seen at previous dentist offices. You'd think all this state-of-the-art technology would cost up the ying-yang but they really aren't any more expensive than the other dentists' offices I've dealt with. This is my very first Yelp review, because it's the first time I felt compelled to broadcast how great these people are!

I asked if I can put 200 for now. They made an exception but it just felt really weird and messed up. That's all I had for the next two weeks. I was scared. Usually it's courteous to give a rough estimate before the appointment so one comes prepared. This is with insurance so they were attempting to charge me based on my policy coverage prior to billing occurring. They also didn't offer me any options prior for the wisdom teeth removal whether it be local or IV sedation. It was just a charge list that they handed to me without offering any options. They also didn't talk about any changes that are possible for the sedation process which is the pricey area. Make sure you guys advocate for yourselves and make informed decisions before you walk into any office. Make sure to call and inquire about patient responsibility too so you come prepared for your appointment or have to reschedule. This is something they really need to work on and I'm really disappointed. But I'll end on a positive note, doctor called me in the evening to check on me.

I am extremely disappointed with Affordable Family Dental. My first (and only) experience with them…read morewas in September of 2024, and I'm still so upset about it that I felt compelled to write this review. I went there as a new patient to establish care, have X-rays taken, and get a cleaning. The receptionist was very standoffish and was under the impression that I had called to cancel my appointment (I had not). Despite arriving on time for my appointment, I was informed that there was not enough time for a cleaning and that they would only be able to take X-rays. This was frustrating, but not the end of the world. Dr. Dhanoa told me that I had a few cavities that needed to be filled, which was not a surprise, as I have always been cavity-prone. What did come as a shock, however, was when he informed me that I needed to have many old fillings re-done, amounting to 13 fillings altogether! This seemed odd to me, and I decided to get a second opinion from another dentist. I requested my dental X-rays from Affordable Family Dental multiple times - twice over the phone, and twice via email - and they never sent them to me despite my having filled out their records release authorization form. It was abundantly clear every time I called that the receptionist had no interest in helping me and could not wait to get off the phone. Two of the times I called in, she actually hung up before I had finished talking. I explained my situation to another local dentist, and thankfully, they were very understanding, were able to fit me in right away, and took a whole new set of X-rays for free (shout-out to Access Dental!). The new dentist said that I only needed to have the new cavities filled and that the other work that Dr. Dhanoa told me I needed was excessive. The impression I received was that Dr. Dhanoa was trying to squeeze as much money as he could out of my insurance. I also feel that his office is intentionally withholding my dental records. This is a violation of WAC 246-817-310 and HIPAA's 45 CFR § 164.524. Between this and the rude, incompetent front desk staff, I am flabbergasted that Affordable Family Dental has such high reviews. Something positive I would like to mention is my experience with the dental hygienist who took my X-rays, Stephany. She was very sweet and was aware of the discomfort that oral X-rays can cause. She worked quickly and told me to let her know if I needed a break. She was the bright spot in what was otherwise a frustrating and lackluster experience. While they have lost my business, I truly hope that Affordable Family Dental will take this feedback seriously and do better moving forward.
