Everyone in the office is professional and things run like clock-work. Dr Baerg is excellent and I am happy with my results. He also is one of the best dentists at injecting novocaine, as I hardly felt the initial poke. My general dentist recommended him and said people come to Gig Harbor from all around Puget Sound. Now I know why.

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet Dr. Baerg as a result of unprofessional, and…read moreunwelcoming communication from Jennifer, the office coordinator. Following an attempt via phone to cancel an initial exam, I finally reached Jennifer and attempted to explain the reasoning behind the circumstances for my cancellation, and subsequently reschedule my appointment. After being cut off by Jennifer, she proceeded to berate me not calling sooner, and ultimaltey told me I was "not a good fit" for their clinic. As a practitioner myself in another healthcare discipline, I felt especially angered for a couple of reasons. One, this is no way to treat customers, or people in general for that matter. Two, as a clinician myself, I would be extremely angered to hear that the office staff was solely and independently making making judgment calls as to whether or not a patient is a "good fit" without consulting with me first. I have since made an appointment with another dental office that also specializes in endodontics and will continue to refer others to Olympic Modern Dentistry based on the positive, and professional experience I have received from start to finish.

Dr. Sonia, is tha' ABSOLUTE BEST…read more She will greet you with a firm handshake and you may think she has peered into your soul and saw all the wrong things you did or thought as she keeps eye that 'piercing' eye contact --but she is the BEST!!! No person in their right mind gets excited about a dang dentist appointment as if it was a B-Day party, not even with Dr. Sonia. HOWEVER, knowing she is yours and that she is very friendly, personable, sympathetic as well as an empathetic dentist, will and should keep your anxiety pretty much at bay prior to appointments. She patiently explains what she is doing or going to do (options detailed). I get hugs every time she comes in before she gets started and she ask how your doing. Shots (i.e those terrifying injections)--she is very concerned about minimizing as much pain and discomfort as she can and THAT is what makes or breaks a dentist for me. If you relax--and trust her (which she works to gain), she can move a needle around in her 'intended' injections sites- like a dang Ninja (most times) and the times where you might feel something--even that when it's over...you will say "was that it??" Her staff (especially Ms. Jaime whom booked my 1st appointment after she convinced me that I would be in good hands) all that I have came in contact with--are very nice. Very. Now they're very busy ladies so they really don't have chunks of time for 'winded chit chats'. So don't be gettin' all overly sensitive saying they are rude. Be reasonable. They do have to provide attention Dr. Pals other patients as well. Ok...where was I? Oh! Yes--Ms. Amy, Ms. Susan (who always take care to numb me up good with that 'topical-gel stuff' before my injections because of my fear) and Ms. Kristy--all terrific. Great ladies. I put this on everything--if you need an excellent Dentist--one that looks after your best interest, one you can trust in, you will make a wise choice with: Dr. Sonia Pal. She's a bag of chips. And who doesn't like chips? Especially now that you can eat some cause she done fixed ya' dang teeth.

Since I've had my permanent crown put on, I've been back for a cleaning/check-up. They remember me perfectly 6 months later and ask me about the things that I had going on.

They misrepresented treatment to be given, options available, price of services, and later increased price owed with no notification. I came into Dr Huddleston's office with a abscessed tooth needing a root canal. I originally called as a referral of my family doctor. He recommended I call Dr Huddleston to either have him do the root canal or to get a referral of a dental surgeon. When I called I spoke with Debbie. I told Debbie I was looking for an oral surgeon because I wanted to be put under for the root canal. I DID NOT want to be awake for the procedure. Debbie politely talked with me about what I was experiencing and said she couldn't give me a surgeon's name but assured me they could handle everything in their office. So I agreed to come in the next day After arriving at the office I was informed that they are not equipped to put people under and could only do a general local anesthetic. At this point I was already in a great deal of pain & very sick so I didn't want to risk getting any worse. I begrudgingly agreed to go ahead with the procedure knowing it would hurt very badly. I had provided my insurance info prior to the visit and was told there would be a nominal cost for me. So at least I felt assured in that. I never met Dr. Huddleston and only met his assistants. One woman came in and said they may be able to save the tooth as it was very badly damaged, but also told me I needed to get a root canal on another tooth on the other side. They told me if I didn't do it soon I would lose the other tooth. I was already in pain and on medications for it so I was pretty scared and terrified now. I asked how much this would all cost and they said they would check my insurance and let me know. After sitting in the chair waiting for about 15 minutes Debbie came back in. She sat down with me and showed me the total cost of the procedure which she said would be about $1250 for one tooth or $2500 for both. She said my insurance would cover $900 of it and I would have to pay the rest myself. I worked out a payment plan then with them for three more payments of $100 each, one of which I was paying that day. So I had two more payments. I then went to prep for the operation. But right before they started drilling the doctor lady came in again and said I had one final release of liability to sign that said that some equipment could break off in my mouth and some other major complications could happen. They presented this to me RIGHT as I was about to have my mouth drilled and had already had local anesthetic applied. I was terrified at this point. This was the worst time to try to present another release of liability. The entire time of this surgery I was thinking of equipment breaking off in my mouth. .. which it did. It took them an hour longer to do the surgery they expected. The hygienist couldn't keep the spring clamp connected right and metal kept flying all over the office. The drill bit broke, my mouth was killing me from being open for three hours, and I was now crying from pain since the local was wearing off or having little effect. This was why I wanted to be put under. So I didn't have to experience this moment. And they assured me... this moment wouldn't come. The hygienist eventually rushed through the end of the procedure getting the filling in. They said they couldn't put a crown on at this point which is something I thought they would be able to do. They said I'd have to come back for that. I have no intention on ever returning here again. But then today I get a phone call from Debbie saying my credit card on file declined. The one I gave them had become lost and I didn't update it. I called her back right away to update the credit card because I thought this was my final payment of $100. I was then informed I still had a balance of $295 dollars left to pay off. It turns out that my insurance paid for less than I was originally told and Debbie never notified me. She just planned on billing my credit card until it was paid off. This is an extremely shady business practice. Everything Debbie told me from being able to be put under, to costing just $300, to having nothing to worry about in regards to the surgery, to there being only a little pain was either a lie or misleading. I will never recommend this office to anyone ever.
