I would never wish dental surgery on anyone, but if you have to go and your dentist hasn't thought…read moreof Dr. Yu, then you had better bring it up yourself or you're missing out. As you will see from his website (not related to his practice, but Periodontics is mentioned), Dr. Yu is young, smart and very disciplined. How can you not trust someone of his caliber? When you read about the doctor, Yu know you are in good hands. When you have ridiculous talent and achievements like this guy, it's safe to say he's not a slacker and will do what he can to perfection. The office is beautiful (which includes a piano in it), the secretary is very attentive and the staff I encountered are also young and hip, appearing to actually have a good time at work. I had some major dental surgery which included my first experience with Ativan, and I can tell you that Dr. Yu and his peeps took very good care of me. I appreciated that he kept asking me throughout the surgery if I was okay and thanked me when I followed his instructions. We all even took a little stretch break half way through. He and his assistant chatted about life intermittently and had a few laughs. That actually entertained me and made me feel comfortable with them, also trusting they were still focused on the job. I received very thorough postoperative instructions and his direct contact number in case I had issues over the weekend. At this point, it's only 72hrs post surgery, but my gums look less like hamburger now and I can tell that upon healing, the job will likely be stellar. I follow-up with him in two weeks and look forward to it.

Out of about 10 responses over half were for Love Dental so I went with the odds. This place is amazing! I saw Dr. Spooner for a small filling and she was so kind and reassuring and unlike most dentists let me know what she was doing and what I feel the entire time. It was such a pleasant experience, which I never in million years thought I would say about any dentist, that I would recommend them to anyone! The price was reasonable and all the staff were beyond friendly!

My experience at Love dental was shocking! I broke a tooth…read morebecause of stress and found myself at their clinic. I was already in a fragile painful state and was worried about the cost and experience. As someone who does not have insurance my fear grew and so did the pain. I was pleasantly surprised when the staff got me in so quickly. I walked in the doors and were greeted with a warm welcome. My first thought was is this dental clinic? It was so nice to see how close the love dental staff were. It was like family. The girls were very understanding and wanted me to fill out paper work. I disclosed I had no insurance and they walked me through options that best suited my needs. I felt a huge sigh of relief. My dentist was wonderful. I really felt the love. Thanks Love dental. I found a new home.

Going to the endodontist is never a fun experience because usually that means some sort of tooth…read moresurgery is involved...however, Dr. McKenzie and her entire staff make it such a pleasant and easy experience that I actually leave feeling better (not worse!) I had to go because I got a root canal done a few years back that was not done well and my tooth was killing me (a really bad sign for a tooth that is supposed to have no feeling..) Anyway, I was recommended to Dr. McKenzie's office to get this done. Her staff not only called the day after receiving the referral, they continued to follow up weeks later when I hadn't called back (an issue with my voice mail). The staff were prompt, courteous and just generally friendly about scheduling as well as payment (and paperwork). Dr. McKenzie herself is a great endodonist. She is clearly knowledgeable and loves her job. She took the time to explain the situation to me (without being pejorative) and answered all of my questions. She does her work quickly (and as painlessly as possible). My tooth already feels leagues better and I cannot thank her enough. The office has now moved to 815 17th Ave SW. Although it's expensive, you really get quality service and I know that this is one root canal that wont have to be re-done in a few years.

The response from the "dentist" was shocking - "I'm really upset, if you dont want to proceed with this we will cancel your appointment and you can find a new dentist"! I was floored that he didn't ask me what information I might need to feel better, what he could do to ensure i felt comfortable etc... I told him flatly that I was glad he came to me this way now so that I could find someone else. I can't believe he approached it that way! Clearly he needs some patient care training. he was really upset??? How about me, the patient, the guy paying the bill, the guy whos tooth you want to take out and the guy who's skull you plan to drill into?? No, he's upset. What a self-important jerk. Stay away!

Honestly, I do not believe one star does my experience justice. I visited Dr. Liszka three times…read morefor my operation and each time managed to be worse than the previous. I waited a minimum of 45 minutes each time with no explanation, I had assistants start preparing me the wrong operation, and my anxiety for oral operations was met with a graphic "educational" video of the various procedures offered (the majority of which depicted drilling screws into the jaw bone - terrifying). My feedback was met with hostility from both Dr. Liszka and Dr. McKenzie. The over-the-top office decor paired with the doctor's attitude create an environment that reeks privilege and entitlement. I would highly recommend giving your business to any of the other periodontists in town who treat their customers with respect. Truly, this is not an exaggeration.

In opposite of that another experienced dentist does not confirm the same issue and fixed the issue easily without all that emotion blah-blah from this place which was bringing first time. - Seems the current dentist, is not interested to fix "not easiest kind of" issues with tooth. Guess, from the above statement, the dentist is providing scaring, hard way for treatment, in hope the patient will go away - seems very unprofessional - The current dentist is asking to go to different "referral" dentist's services - waste of money/time or insurance money, since other places asking you to pay for consultation again and again. Such "referral" dentist's services in this case will not have good reputation, even to go first time. Finally, I can not recommend this place at all. Furthermore....
