I set a first appt. at Old Towne Dentist after reading reviews for Dr. Houpt, which were very good…read more After being seated in the dental chair I heard Dr. Houpt was part time retiring and I would be seeing Dr. Redgate whom I had no background check or reviews. I thought I Would see Dr. Houpt and thought he was the only dentist there. I continued with the first appointment with a laundry list of recommended work for my 71 year old teeth including replacing old fillings etc. In the world or unlimited funds and time maybe that would be a good plan. I was going to wait to see the cost associated with the proposed plan which I have yet to receive. The purpose of my visit was to get a quote for bonding for chipped front teeth, nothing else was bothering me. I was also interested in the cost of veneers. When I got home I checked online what I could and learned Dr. Redgate had excellent school history for Dentristy, apparently worked as a dentist in the military and the only history I could find of dentistry in general public was in CA in 2021, changing offices in 2023 and now at Old Towne Dental in WA.. I certainly cannot know if there is more history with general public - this is what I could find online. I would love to see real patient reviews both from California and Washington. While serving as a Dentist in the military is relevant, serving as a Dentist to the general public is also important. I think the skill set would have differences, but I am not a dentist. I am someone who has seen many dentists over 70 years, some bad, some good, some excellent. It is hard to know until the work is done and then it is what it is. Therefore - public reviews from prior patients are important to me. I wish it was easier to select a dentist. I wish Old Towne Dental and its associates great success and many good reviews.

When it came to my new bridge, it was painful during the numerous times it was adjusted. It never fit properly. Becoming more and more frustrated, I asked that the amount for the bridge be transferred to another clinic. This was approved and then rescinded. I asked that Care Credit refund that portion so I could go to another dental service. This was also denied. The end of this debacle dental happened in March of 2026 after I had saved enough money to obtain a new bridge. So for nearly 3 yrs. I was unable to chew my food.

Scheduled my initial appointment on their website, which I thought was incredibly convenient. I was also able to complete ALL of my initial paperwork online so I didn't have to do any when I came in for my first visit. So, initial impressions on appointment day (today). This location is fantastic--super central being in The Trails. I parked at 8:45am and there was still plenty of parking, although the parking spaces in The Trails can be a little challenging if you drive a large vehicle like I do. Once in the clinic, the guy at the front desk was super friendly and got me checked in quickly. Sat down and waited maybe 10 or 15 minutes before being called back. The waiting room was very clean, as was every hallway/room I saw and went into for the duration of my visit. I will say--the atmosphere is a bit sterile. It's kind of cold in there with natural daylight cool lighting. I do wish they would warm it up a bit. Everyone I came across was very nice, including Dr. Chen, who I scheduled my appointment with. She was so nice answering all of my questions, checking in frequently to be sure I was comfortable, and that I understood everything she was doing in my mouth during the appointment. I felt like I came out knowing more about my teeth and how to better care for them than I have when visiting other dentists, which I love. After my appointment was over, a care coordinator, Jen, came in to book some future appointments and go over expected charges for the dental care I needed. She did a very thorough job explaining all charges, what insurance would cover and what they wouldn't, and ensured I clearly understood all of the financial details. I was thoroughly impressed that Dr. Chen was actually able to knock out half of the work I needed as soon as Jen was done explaining everything. She was very quick and thorough, and I found the charges to be very fair and clear. I was charged exactly what they said they'd charge, and they did not charge until I fully understood what I was paying for. Emphasizing that again because other reviews have complained about a lack of bill transparency. I didn't experience that at all. By the time I left, about two hours after I arrived, the parking lot was packed and I was so thankful I didn't have a later appointment. Overall, I am VERY happy with this clinic. Everyone was kind, charges were fair and clear, and Dr. Chen was awesome. I have to go back for a second session of work in one week and I'm actually excited. I'll definitely recommend this clinic to others.

I was asked to arrive at 1:45 PM for a 2:00 PM appointment, but I wasn't called in until after 2:20 PM. When I approached the receptionist to ask about the delay, I was told, "It is not in my control"--a response that felt dismissive rather than empathetic. What made the situation worse was the doctor's reaction when it was clear I was frustrated. Instead of acknowledging the issue, I was told, "If you would like to go someplace else..." I found that to be both unprofessional and off-putting. Everyone has off days, but a little courtesy and communication would have gone a long way

Since then some dentists have hurt me so bad that I was brought to tears, and others were spectacular. Sadly, finding a good dentist is a crap shoot. Dr. Kasey Gillespie ranks among the best. These days there is no reason for dentistry to be painful, and at Life Long they did not hurt me. Quick, flexible service (I was there for an 'emergency,' i.e. I was in pain) was the first good sign. Next day he did the truly pain-free root canal, prepped for the crown and installed a temporary crown (nope, didn't send me to pricey specialist, thereby avoiding added delay) and a week later I had a lovely new crown installed. Slick, huh? Office staff is friendly and they are good. Dental Assistant par excellence Coco took great care of me all through my non-ordeal and she was kind, gentle and patient as well as exceptionally capable. Costs w/ insurance were reasonable, and were clearly explained up front, something that doesn't often happen these days. Or any days. Bottom line, I'm happy to have found a dental 'home' and can recommend these people without reservation.

My wife diligently looked for a new dentist for us as she has had some terrible experiences in the past. The Life Long team went above and beyond my expectations. I have never in my 70 years had such a thorough exam as I did with dental assistant Jennifer and Dr. Gillespie. They even took my blood pressure and made many measurements. From check in to checking out everyone was welcoming and helpful. They made recommendations which I will follow. Thanks Team!! So when someone asks me who my Dentist is? Life Long Dental is my choice.
