Yes, I know, I said a dentist was pleasant and I didn't have novocaine in my mouth! I happened to come across Dr. Nakagawa after having a toothache and looking online. After a few rave reviews, everything they said about him was true! He is really quite knowledgeable in his field and stays ahead of the game by keeping abreast of new developments and procedures. I have been going to him for a few years, and despite having to drive all the way to West Seattle, it is well worth it!

I went in with zanax, laughing gas and a red nervous rash on my chest climbing up my neck! This was just too having a simple cleaning. Dr. Salema talks you through the whole procedure and another added bonus is his wife is the dental hygienist! Now the good news is no zanax and no laughing gas!! Dr. Salema, his wife Donna and Debbie are like extended family members. When it comes to my family and dental issues I highly recommend them.

SCAMMER ALERT!!…read more Although I am not a patient of Dr. Phan, my mother and siblings were his patients until recently. My mother moved on to a new dentist due to several shady practices by Dr. Phan that accumulated over the years. According to my mother, her new dentist recommended the extraction of one of her problem teeth that had been bothering her for quite some time. However, when they submitted the paperwork to the insurance company for approval, they were told that Dr. Phan had already billed the insurance company for the extraction of the same tooth, which was clearly untrue. In addition, my sister was charged over $2,000 for a "deep clean" that lasted less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, my mother and sister were often overcharged, and their cleaning services were always too short. Both my mother's new dentist and I have urged her to report Dr. Phan's malpractice, but she did not want the hassle. So, I am sharing this review in the hope that it can help others avoid being scammed.

Dr. Phan has been my family's dentist for 15 years. She and Dan (Her office…read moremanager/assistant/husband) run a "mom and pop" kind of place in a tiny office. It's just the two of them, and they have seen us through cleanings, fillings, root canals and wisdom teeth. They don't have state of the art equipment, and Dr. Phan refers out for oral surgery, but she will provide great primary dentistry. She's wonderful with kids, very soft spoken and soothing. Dan is a riot - he never fails to make me smile. And the best part is that I have never had a painful experience - even after the novocaine wore off after a root canal, I didn't hurt at all. Highly recommend. Thank you, Dr. Phan and Dan, for your skilled hands and warm hearts!

Dr. Simunds is literally the best dentist there is! He extremely caring about his patients. He…read morealways listens and takes the time to make sure you understand every option available to you. I've been there for 28 years (my whole life!) , and would never consider going anywhere else. I don't think someone with a personal chip on their shoulder should be saying any type of comments. If you had taken your complaints to the insurance company, perhaps you would have gotten your billed paid faster. You have no clue how hard it is to figure out billing issues. Many times you can send the bill in 7 different ways and it still doesn't get done by the insurance company. That is no fault of the doctor's offices that deal with them. Dr. Simunds' office may not be in the most amazing high tech place, but he has integrity. I'm sorry if Sarah H. had a bad experience. ...but then again, considering how she responed...that probably happens alot to her ( i realized that after scrolling through all of her reviews, the vast majority were negative).

I've been a long time Ballard native; I absolutely love our community. For most of the…read morelong-termers who live here I think we can all agree that our area continues to evolve in ways that we don't particularly prefer -- the taxes on our homes continue to increase, the parking has become more of an issue, population density continues to increase as our condo overlords expand their commercial interests, crime rates continues to inch up along along with the changing demographics, and there has been a notable increase in the homeless populations around our neighborhoods as other Seattle communities have discouraged these troubled souls from remaining in their previous haunts. Along with these developing issues, at least to this point, our culturally rich community has been able to maintain that particular welcoming and authentic characteristic and charm which makes Ballard a special place to live -- but I see signs more and more every day that we are beginning to lose that specialness that makes us a welcoming home for our families and friends. Do you realize how many of our long time businesses have simply closed down? How many single family homes have been replaced by apartments, condos, and townhomes? Have you noticed that the closer in proximity that we live, that it's become quite typical that we become less friendly, less community aware; that people have less concern or interest in their neighbors that ever before? It's as if the move toward increased density and convenience has forced people inwards upon themselves. People just don't seem to care about each other as much as in previous days. Do you remember when the shop owners knew most of their customers by name; or at least when we customers knew our shop owners names? People just can't be bothered anymore -- it's like some of the grace of our humanity has been lost -- a very strange thing to see over the course of one's life. All of these thoughts to say: if your desired experience of professional dental care is to feel like a faceless person in a faceless crowd, to become simply another payment for services on a conveyor belt of payments for service, where you have no relationship or friendship with your practitioner or her/his massive staff, then please -- by all means do NOT become a patient of Dr. Simunds. Because that will not be your experience. To Dr. Simunds you are not a number, you are not a paycheck, you are not a procedure, you are not a means to an end -- quite wonderfully and contrarily to many of our experiences in this 'modern' world, instead you surprisingly are treated as ... a PERSON -- a 'you'. You're treated with dignity and respect; respect for both you, your insurance coverage, and the money you work so hard for to make it all happen every day. If you can appreciate the difference between being treated like a person versus being treated like a commodity, if you can appreciate actually knowing your doctor, and having the kind of specialized patient attention that is usually only reserved (let's be honest) for close friends or family members, then Dr. Simunds' office is the office you should be calling on. I discovered this dental office nearly twenty years ago, and can say, with nothing other than a patient's experience to go by: you will not find a better dentist or better patient care. He's commuted all the way in from his home to attend to a dental issue for me on one of his days off -- completely unsolicited by me. Combine that with the expertise and focus on patient comfort that I've experienced, and I couldn't dream of attending another dentist's office. No other medical practitioner that I've ever utilized cares about the patient in the way I've experienced here -- and I like my other doctors!

Each new young dentist seemed to find something wrong that needed fillings, a crown, whatever. This always perplexed me because I have very good habits of brushing and flossing and 2x yearly visits. How could yet another problem pop up in 6 months? Finally I met Dr Langhor who to date has simply corrected a poor filling job that was always shredding my floss and has taught me correct brushing and floss technique (who knew?). He remembers things about me and my wife. He thorough yet efficient. Parking is easy in the valet lot under the medical dental building and hi office provides some dollar coins to offset the nominal cost. Its a beautiful office with views downtown. But not so outrageously over-done that you'd get suspicious there was some major overhead that would govern his decision making. He is what all dentist ought to aspire to be.
