Few yrs of routine exam/cleaning was fine until my teenage son had his last cleaning done. His…read more6mos cleaning took only about 20mins & they said he needed a filling done for a cavity. Dr. Wallen did not explain this to me, which I thought it was very unprofessional. I stood there for at least 5mins until one of the receptionist acknowledged me. Neither of them were on the phone. The billing lady is normally condescending(although she's not always right)so I was glad she didn't call on me. 6 months after, I took my son to another dentist for routine cleaning/exam. The "cavity" that Dr.Wallen wanted to fix was just a stain & not a cavity! I saved $150 & unnecessary procedure done for my son's teeth!

After an expensive, horrible experience at another dentist (who seated a crown incorrectly, leading…read moreto extensive, constant pain), a trusted friend in the dental field recommended Dr. Wallen. I couldn't be more grateful to her or happier with my experience. Dr. Wallen truly listened to my concerns, didn't rush, and assured me he would do everything possible to rectify the situation. I had a great deal of apprehension about the process after what I'd experienced before. He was careful, gentle, and now I have a wonderful new crown! I particularly like the way he talks with me about each step -- he speaks deliberately and professionally, making sure that I understood the process/goals but without being patronizing or talking down to me. Instead, it just felt like he truly cared and wanted to make sure that I felt okay about everything. Additionally, his assistant Lena is also kind, professional, and thorough (as are all his staff, I'm sure -- I just haven't had anyone else work with me). The front desk staff are also always personable, efficient, and helpful. I'm so thankful to have found Dr. Wallen. My whole family is switching to his practice.

WA Dental - Bad and terrible dental clinic, doctors and manager

I've been a patient at WA Dental for over two years and never had an issue--until this last visit…read more In early December, I had a cleaning and the dentist told me I needed one filling, and that it didn't look too serious. The front desk scheduled me and I asked for a price estimate because I considered waiting until January 2026 when my insurance renews. The front desk told me if I waited until January, I'd pay around $120-$140 out of pocket. But if I did the filling before January, they said I'd only pay about $70, and they even had me sign paperwork confirming that $70-ish amount. Based on that, I booked the filling for December 26 and paid $70+ at the counter. I was clearly told that was it and they would handle insurance. No additional charges. Then three weeks later, I get a call saying I still "owe" another $59. Excuse me? I paid what your office quoted, I signed what you put in front of me, and I was told there would be no additional balance. Now suddenly the total is about $135, which is basically the same amount you told me I'd pay in January--so what was the point of rushing in right after Christmas? This is a huge trust issue. If your estimates are that unreliable, don't pressure patients into decisions with incorrect numbers and signatures. To make it worse, the person who called said they would follow up--they didn't--but the clinic had no problem sending an email demanding payment. This is poor communication and borderline bait-and-switch billing. If this isn't corrected, I won't be coming back, and I'll be finding a dental office that actually stands by what they tell patients.

I feel like I got tricked for clinic's 5 star ratings. Dr. Hwang is not a professional and has bad…read morebed side manners. Overall, the experience was very frustrating and inconvenient. I am NEVER going back to this clinic I had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Hwang, which was canceled by the clinic at the last minute. They rescheduled me for Saturday at noon. After my X-rays were taken, I was brought in for an examination, but Dr. Hwang refused to do my "annual cleaning". As he forced me for deep cleaning without having a regular cleaning first instead. This not only disrupted my X-rays and annual cleaning--which are supposed to be part of the same routine checkup--but Dr. Hwang also mentioned they didn't have time to complete the cleaning because the clinic was closing. Now when I will make a new appointment with a new clinic they would ask me to go for x-rays as regular protocol meaning out of pocket cost.

Hi James, Yes, I'm…read more100% sure that I was there on 3/2020. I found this office on Yelp & decided to go there based on the great reviews. My friends told me that Yelp reviews are not all honest since their friends can give them good/fake reviews. I guess I was a little naive for believing it. Front office lady was named, Carmen & the hygienist was an older Korean lady, she didn't state her name. My legal name is not Tori. I'm now very happy with my new dentist, but thanks for reaching out after a year.

Full disclaimer, this review is based on one consultation visit to Federal Way Modern Dentistry. I…read morewent because they were able to get me in early but I ultimately chose to get a second opinion from another dentist. I can't speak about the effectiveness of the treatments but my decision to go somewhere else had a lot to do with the fact that I didn't like the atmosphere here. Call me old-fashioned but I kind of expect a doctor's office to be somewhat serene and comforting. The front desk lady (forgot her name) was really nice but there was a lot of loud conversations and laughing going on. Not only that, once your name is called and you walk through the maze-like corridors past open door offices you can hear club music blasting from somewhere and smell food too since someone is clearly eating lunch. I'm not against dancing and eating but it just felt unprofessional. Sure, I can let those things slide but there's more. The consulation room looked like a storage room with a dental chair in it (I'm serious). The floor was littered with gas tanks and medical equipment, with music blaring from a portable radio on the counter. The dental assistant was also kind of unfriendly. So yeah, the consultation with the doctor went ok I guess although his recommendations quite differed from the other dentistry I later visited. I guess the kids these days might be cool with all this 'modernness' but I personally can't trust anyone to do a medical procedure in a setting like this.

Dr. Masand and her assistants were amazing! They made me feel very comfortable when I was very…read morenervous. I appreciate their time to create a treatment plan!
