However, she gave ways this still could happen. She offered hope. She and the team won't lie to you. They don't suggest short term options like many places I've been. They of course value your decision, yet offer what strengths your bones. I went for a free consultation and left with the determination of financing my needs as North Seattle Dentures and Implants are the only place I trust with my needs. They sincerely care about the clients. It's that feeling you get after being at so many places. That inner peace or gut feeling. You'll hear more from me once I find a lender. Judi

Dr. Nagatomo is so precise and skillful, that she not only does excellent dental work, but also masterful with patient comfort and recovery. I also highly recommend Dr. Chen.

I'm so happy to have been referred to Dr. Mao after I asked for a second opinion. Recently I…read morenoticed additional sensitivity, suggesting the recession might be worsening. Considering I've already shown some bone loss, this makes me nervous. My dentist said nothing about this, but I asked for perio consult. The first opinion I got offered no solutions for sensitivity, wanted to do a few grafts to protect teeth from falling out. Dr Mao, on the other hand, suggested pedicle grafts in addition to the ones first opinion offered. While the healing of this seems to mean a bit more swelling at first, it addresses the sensitivity issue, and my teeth look so much more normal! I've had issues for over a decade, always a background consideration for if/when things get worse, and that was becoming more present with choosing foods based on sensitivity. If the pedicle grafts restore coverage so I'm less afraid to look in my own mouth, background worrying about worsening, that is awesome, I had never heard this option before. And I love that I don't have to worry about the cold of eating carrots! All of the office staff is friendly and effective. I emailed about a question and got a call back the same day; they even put Dr. Mao on the phone to answer my questions. I was pretty nervous about the procedure and I got the text from my pharmacy about the Valium prescription I requested almost immediately after getting off the phone. I've just had my second procedure with Dr. Mao. He's great about making sure questions are answered, and it says something that he puts his cell number on the care sheet. He gave me a call around 8pm the evening of the procedure just to check in. I feel very cared for and trust his opinions and his work. He takes pictures before and through the healing process at follow ups. I haven't asked to see these yet, but I think it will be fascinating to do so down the road. I had to go out of network from my insurance to see him, but I'm so much more confident in his care, I think the extra cost is worth it.

Where do I even start. I selected oral sedation for my gum graft surgery and was billed as such…read moreprior to my appointment. However, I was never prescribed a sedative in the group of 3 other medications they prescribed for me to pick up, so I assumed I would be given it on the day of my surgery. Nope. When I showed up they immediately took me back and I started panicking and asked where the sedative would be, and they tried to turn it on me and say I never picked it up (later they admitted to having never prescribed it). They still wanted to go ahead with the surgery with NO SEDATIVE and NO PAINKILLERS. At this point I was ready to cancel my surgery on the spot and run, but the doctor offered to make up for it with an IV sedative, *free of charge*. After the surgery I had nightmares for weeks due to how pushy they were to operate on me regardless of not having the proper sedative set up. They also got blood all over my shirt. I had already pre-paid my insurance estimate ahead of time, and just received a bill in the mail stating I owed another several hundred dollars. Upon closer inspection I realized they did end up charging me over $600 extra for the IV sedation that I had been told would be free of charge. The graft itself actually caused worse recession of my gums as it was placed too low and started pulling down my gumline. I went to another periodontist after for a second opinion and they said that not only had the surgery been completely unnecessary, but it was done via a decades out of date technique. They recommended I get treatment immediately for the recession caused by the IPANW surgeon. Lastly, I'd like to give an honorary mention to the receptionists at IPANW who are some of the most miserable, egotistical women I've met in my life. Coming into the office or giving them a call was always an awful experience and they did everything they could to make it as unwelcoming as possible. In the beginning when they'd forgotten to prescribe the oral sedative, they even hung up on me mid-call because they refused to accept that it had been their issue. Later their billing department performed an investigation and found that it had indeed been their fault. I highly, HIGHLY recommend avoiding this place and looking somewhere else. They've caused me so much pain, misery, and financial stress for an operation I hadn't even needed.

I received a quote for a procedure from another Periodontist, so I decided to call this one to…read morecompare pricing. While I completely understand that I would ultimately need to be seen for an evaluation and treatment plan, I do feel that is is reasonable to ask for pricing for a specific service/procedure that has been outlined by another professional. I was informed that it was the policy of the office not to provide pricing over the phone, and when I started to say "Ok thank you, I think you should provide feedback to the owner..." the woman on the phone literally said "I'm going to stop you right there" and hung up the phone on me. I am not going to debate whether or not they should provide pricing over the phone (I think they should, they think they shouldn't which is their right), but to actually hang up on me mid sentence was a strange experience to say the least. I hesitated to post this review, but felt like it needed to be shared. Side note: I don't think it should be this hard to get pricing from different providers (medical or dental). Customers should be able to shop around especially for procedures costing thousands of dollars. I'm glad others have had a positive experience with this place, and I hope that continues...

He got me in same day I called for my first visit (I think there was a cancellation). A few weeks later I was back for extraction and implant. Right after the implant I went to my regular dentist to get my flipper fitted, but my dentist ran out of time and gave me an ill fitting retainer. I called Dr. B's office in a panic, and he saw me same day and fixed the fit. So grateful for that and not having to go with a missing front tooth! I would definitely go to Dr. Brancheau again for future dental work!

This review is for Dr. Fred Hsu's clinic…read more I had a great experience today during my appointment. Even though I was there for a whole two hours and endured some X-ray pain and prickling to my gums... it was good. I know a lot more about my teeth and learned that I have a cavity on my wisdom tooth. FML. But anyway, the service was EXCEPTIONAL. Loretta at the front desk was so helpful and friendly!!! Devorie, who was the lead assistant, was super awesome and kind. When she was taking my x-rays and stuffing the slides into my mouth, she made sure that I was comfortable and that I wasn't in too much pain, she was so thoughtful. I really liked her. Dr. Hsu was cool too, I asked him a lot of questions about my teeth and he was glad that I asked because people normally just want their teeth done and be done with everything. But yeah, he was great at what he did and my teeth felt SOOOO much cleaner afterwards. I highly recommend these folks! Their web site is very good and helpful as well.

Now I can give this office and its dental staff five stars and feel good about it. Dr. Chase is a great dentist.

She's warm and friendly and also reads a lot and can give you great book recommendations while she cleans your teeth. Lexi is a wonderful dental assistant and will make you feel comfortable before and during your procedure. And last but not least, Robert who manages the front desk is just the best. Super nice, friendly, kind, and efficient. You may have noticed I used the word "friendly" a bunch of times. Why go to a dentist that isn't? I've been to other dental places that weren't nice and thought, why am I giving these people my hard-earned money? If you're going to a dental office with staff that aren't BOTH friendly AND skilled, drop them and make an appointment with Dr. Chase and her peeps. You won't regret it.
