So I decided to call my insurance company to confirm network coverage. They cover. Called back to just get on the schedule as an uninsured patient. Got an appointment. Fast forward a month later, day before appointment. They notify me I'm not in nextwork & can't be seen. Find out I have dental through Delta Dental which is also in network with Yelm Dental. But still not in network and some how not accepting new patients. To even book an appointment it's like 6 + months out anywhere. Also have to find child care for my 9 month old. Which also isn't easy. Rebecca needs to be better about information provided. Cause I did express concern about conflict with insurance going the out of pocket route at time of booking. She reassured me there would be no issue. When there was...

The assistant helping with my appointment was new, and instead of being patient, the dentist and other staff were openly rude to her. When I asked the dentist to review my records from my previous dentist (who had identified some specific issues), he completely dismissed them. When I politely asked him to compare, he actually yelled at me, saying, "I've done my exam, this is what it is." I left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected and will not be returning. Definitely do not recommend.

Sea Mar itself is encouraging patients everywhere to get vaccinated as we know that vaccines are the best defense against death and serious disease yet BOTH dental assistants at Sea Mar are unvaccinated. I happened to do my due diligence and ask the vaccination status of the woman serving me, to which the assistant volunteered that she chose not to get vaccinated for "personal choice." Upon requesting a replacement assistant I was a approached by this assistant's colleague who was confrontational and not only unvaccinated but anti-vaccine. Good grief. I was told by her in an aggressive manner that "it's your choice, leave if you want." I was careful to point out that I could not access safe and lower risk dental care today because of HER choice not mine. I'm absolutely stunned that In a facility that serves state Medicaid recipients (who have limited choices as to where they can go , this being one of the only places) the providers are INCREASING patient risk for severe disease and possible death. This isn't a craft store, or yard sale, this is a dentist office. They put their hands in our actual mouths. The Delta variant is highly transmissible. Vaccination is an evidence-based Best Practice. Those who choose not to be vaccinated due to opinion; which is not the same as Informed Knowledge, ought not to place others at risk with their reckless decision, and certainly not patients. Notably the vaccination status was only disclosed to me because I asked. This is abhorrent and I would have expected Sea Mar medical to hold their patients in a cautious light and most certainly in an informed one. Without knowing the vaccination status of one's provider, patients cannot truly give Informed Consent. I urge all to ask providers their vaccination status and not assume that all are making choices in line with science- which is odd given that they are practicing in a science based field. Further I believe that it is worth avoiding this clinic until Sea Mar institutes mandates for their staff with exemptions only for medical reasons. Sure, have your freedom and what not but acknowledge that your freedom to not vaccinate also comes with consequences. Oof. What a terrible terrible experience. And my tooth is still a mess because they couldn't safely serve me. Ouch.

When we got to the office, Charlene was absolutely delightful to work with. (She even orders little mini-chapsticks for the kids to use to increase their comfort during the exams! I wish my orthodontist had done that for me!). Funds were super tight after moving, and Dr. L was super understanding, compassionate, and really willing to work *with* us. We're in monitoring now for Phase 2, and will be continuing treatment here. My younger son had his first consult last week and received a bite plate today. Once again, I have no complaints (but a ton more praise for the staff... especially Charlene!) Dr. Leavitt should get a specific shout out for his tact: More than a little of my orthodontic knowledge is outdated since my braces were removed over 20 years ago. He NEVER corrects me in front of my kids, but waits until they are at the prize machine before he presents me with the updated facts. I absolutely don't mind my kids knowing I can be wrong, as I feel it shows them how to handle being corrected themselves... but I know a LOT of parents who disagree with me, and I respect him for this method.
