First, I want to shout out the dental hygienists, because I have never had a bad experience with a…read moresimple cleaning! They've all been kind, friendly, and gentle. The receptionists have always been very nice, as well. Unfortunately, I have not had the same experiences with Dr. Rowley. I had some dental issues that required me to get a bridge over three teeth. A different dentist (no longer there) installed it. For 2-3 years afterward, I complained of sensitivity in the area each time I went in, and was told that was normal and it would go away. Finally got an X-ray and it showed that the dentist had incorrectly placed the bridge, leaving a gap exposing nerves. Now, I am thankful that Dr. Rowley didn't charge me to replace it--however, the issue could have been resolved years prior if I had been taken seriously! When I went in to have the bridge replaced, I was not numb enough. The pain was awful and when I asked for more anesthetic, I was given so much that my tongue, mouth, and entire lower half of my face was numb for two days. After covid, I returned to have a cavity filled, and brought this up--I was told I'd be fine, but they'd numb me extra if it'd make me feel better. Cool. Again, I was numb for about a day and a half, which was way longer than necessary. Sorry I didn't want dental pain, I guess? Anyway, Dr. Rowley dropped me as a patient because she was overcharging my father for cleanings, and he dared to bring it up! So I got dropped, even though I was twenty-eight years old and on my own insurance plan. Guess she did me a favor, even though Bayside is the only dentist in Anacortes that takes my insurance. But I'd rather pay out of pocket or make the trip out of town than be treated like that ever again.

When I had to chose a new dentist a year ago, I asked my friends for recommendations. A familiar…read morename came up. A couple years ago I had a relative visit from another country. She had slipped and injured her jaw and needed an emergency referral because our dentist was not available. We were referred to Dr. Charlie Collins. He went out of his way to see her right away. He provided beneficial treatment and excellent follow-up suggestions for when she returned to her country. So naturally, I chose Mountain View Dental for my next dental care and have never been disappointed. They are attentive, friendly, and caring. I have been seen by Dr. Ute Collins and hygienist Kelsey. I recommend this staff and office to everyone.

My fantastic dentist of 25 years retired, so I needed another winner; and thankfully Charlie had space to take me on. I cannot exaggerate all of his fine qualities, starting with friendly, communicative and gentle; followed by the most important: Fine Quality Work. Charlie did a complete makeover of my old worn down teeth. He had to do a lot of creative problem solving. At every single turn I can say he took the extra time and went the extra mile to get it right. I have new appreciation for dental work in general, and what sets a dentist leagues above others. I ended up with a whole new smile, but it feels completely natural because the bite is perfect. Charlie has positive interactions with his staff, and he makes an effort to work with other dentists in the region. My oral surgeon ( Dr Bal) and my orthodontist ( Dr Halgren) were all in communication about the big project of my makeover. I appreciate professionals who consult with each other in the interest of the best outcome for the patient. Also I have to add, when I had a question on a Friday afternoon about my temporary crown I texted Charlie and he offered to come in Saturday morning to take a look. Now that's above and beyond. I hate dental work but Charlie was gentle, and now that its all over I have to say it was worth every minute in the chair, and every penny spent. Thank you Charlie and Staff!!

I was sent to an oral surgeon in town who removed the piece of bone in seconds and sent me on my way. Dr Collins charged my insurance, and there was a $71 balance that was sent to an old address. Yes, I forgot to tell the dental office I moved, but my number didn't change, and I never received a call. Now I have dental pain, so I called Dr Collins' office for an appointment. This is when I first learned of the $71 balance. I paid it immediately. Now I've just been told that the office won't see me because of the $71. Not even if I pay up front. This isn't how a doctor serves the community. Dental care is stressful enough without being punished by your dentist.

He did a bunch of work in one visit and fixed the rest on my next. I am so grateful because my past experiences with dentists were terrible. I have overcrowding and he didn't push braces on me or anything. It was nice because I don't want braces, I know my teeth aren't straight and I like them. He's the first dentist to not even suggest them. I love the art on the wall and the Sinatra on the radio. It helped calmed my nerves. I will definitely be returning for cleanings. He fixed everything in my mouth in 2 visits! My other dentist would only do one thing at a time and the wait list was months.
