My son had work done on his teeth...& went under general anesthesia. When I was given the plan of proceedure(s) it was very brief. This was not a welcoming dental office. Once the procedure was done, he was put into a cubicle, awake screaming & crying. I would have liked to have met him in a room as he began to wake up, giving him a familiar voice/face. My son was terribly scared & traumatized. read more

My two boys always enjoy having their routine checkups here. They are excited to go and my 6-year-old is more motivated to keep his teeth pristine after talking to the friendly staff. One of my boys has had a lot of staining on his teeth, and I appreciated the dental assistant's and the dentist's helpful tips and a high quality cleaning, even if his teeth made it difficult. read more

We absolutely LOVE Piper Pediatric Dentistry!! My family and I recently moved to Bellingham from California. Looking for new doctors has been hard because we loved the ones we had in California but, I'm so glad I chose Piper Pediatric Dentistry. They were so kind to my 4 year old and had so much patience. She absolutely loved her dental assistant Danielle and laughed away while getting her teeth cleaned. The office is decorated so cute with lots of things for the littles to enjoy while waiting. I didn't think the experience could of gone any better. Then about a week after her appointment we received the most thoughtful handwritten note in the mail. I would recommend this Pediatric Dentist over and over!! read more

Piper Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Piper Dentistry is located on the second floor of their offices in Barkley Village. I was greeted warmly by the staff in the stylishly decorated office and introduced to my hygienist, Amy, I believe. She was very nice, but as soon as we got in the chair for X-rays, the machine started going on the fritz, so we ended up having to move machines and start over. Once these photos were done, I was then taken downstairs to their pediatric office for another kind of X-ray. Then when the look at my wisdom teeth was over, I was moved yet again to a new chair for my cleaning. The staff was great and my teeth were cleaned well, but as someone who is already stressed at the dentist, having to hike across the office several times and keep re-locating gets a bit unnerving after a while. I do recommend this office as besides the moving, the dentist herself and all the hygienists were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about my wisdom teeth to the best if their knowledge. read more

Our family recently started going to Piper Dentistry after we moved here from Oak Harbor and I honestly cannot say enough good things. They are ON point in every single way. Every member of their staff is friendly and skilled, and they go far above and beyond to pamper you, think of it like a dental day spa. Dr. Emily is competent, thorough, and it's easy to tell how much she cares about her patients' comfort. I had to have so many fillings and it was virtually painless because she is so meticulous and good at her work. I am so happy I found her! On another note, her husband and staff was perfect doing my kids' teeth. They were so comfortable being there that both boys actually asked me to just wait in the waiting room for them. I wish I could give this office ten stars. They are amazing! read more

This place is professional, punctual, and a pleasure to visit. I came here for a dental cleaning once and found the visit to be pleasant.

My children have been patients of Dr. Christopher Piper since they were toddlers. They are now 6 and 8 years old. They are covered under state insurance. In the last couple of years, I have noticed Dr. Piper and the staff have become quick, less patient, and passive. One of my children has special needs, and the attitude toward her care has always been rushed, sometimes incomplete, and little effort put into making her feel comfortable. In the last year, multiple dental problems have arisen and my options for her care have been put aside or on hold. September 22, 2020, I was told that my oldest daughter was "cavity free," and she is clearly not. I recently went for a second opinion on November 9, 2020, and my child needs one tooth removed, and the tooth with decay is so bad that it needs a pulp and crown. Dr. Piper has chosen to neglect her dental care instead of taking any time to address her dental needs appropriately, I requested dental records, and with some attitude received them. To no surprise, the note says there is decay present. It also states to watch it due to age (8) size of decay, and cooperation. Dr. Piper has never once tried to address any dental work on my child. My point is to bring forward the obvious, Dr. Christopher Piper does not want to take the time to work with children with special needs or patients that are covered under State Dental Insurance. Dr. Piper portrays himself as an advocate for State Insurance, but he is genuinely ignoring the health of my child and God only knows how many more. read more

My 9 year-old son used to go to a different pediatric dentist in town. When he was probably 4 or 5, his previous dentist found an early stage of cavities (in his baby teeth), and he suggested that he treat them (i.e., drill them). As my son was very young and I didn't like the sound of the procedure (laughing gas, etc), I asked my friends in town for recommendations. One recommended by multiple friends was Dr. Chris Piper. So, we went in to see Dr. Piper for a second opinion. His recommendation was to keep up with brushing and flossing and wait. So, we decided to switch to Dr. Piper several years ago. We have gone in for a check-up and cleaning every 6 month. Dr. Piper has been watching the teeth my son's previous doctor wanted to drill several years ago; they have been stable and haven't gotten worse. So, no drilling even to day. Some doctors are more "aggressive" (like my son's previous dentist) than others. My experience with Dr. Piper has been that he would treat cavities (i.e, drilling and filling) only when he thinks it is necessary. Everyone at this clinic is professional yet very friendly. Dr. Piper is very easy to talk to in addition to being a great dentist. His hygienists are all friendly. The front desk staff are very pleasant and nice, too. The clinic is really built for kids. There's a video game in the waiting room. There are TVs on the ceiling so that the patients can watch TV as they have their teeth cleaned. I can't possibly ask for more. I'm sure my son agrees with me. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful." Your feedback helps me improve my future reviews.

Great service...caring, kind, quality dental care for all five of my kids. Staff is always kind and fun... Clean...All good!

I have so enjoyed changing over to Piper Family Dentistry after a horrible experience with another dentist in town. I have not met a single staff member who doesn't greet you with a smile and seems genuinely happy to be at work and helping you. The staff are very professional, thoughtful, comforting and patient. They explain exactly what they are doing each time. This is the first place I've gone to where I feel comfortable and like I'm not being taken advantage of. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

I take my son to Dr. Piper. The staff is professional and the environment is great for kids. There are activities in the waiting room to keep littles occupied. Dr. Piper is kind and gentle. LOVE this place. read more

This office is great, very clean and inviting and even decorated for holiday. The staff is amazing, I was greeted before even getting to the front desk, they are all smiling, kind, patient, they are all interactive with every child even when not their patient. The staff are having a pumpkin decorating contest where they have the kids put in a vote for the best one, how cool is that ? What a wonderful way to involve the kids ,making them less anxious about their dental visit. If your like me I hate the dentist, I get anxious , nauseous, scared, I avoid it like the plague So one of my big concerns as a parent is that I absolutely do not pass any of that onto my children ! Piper Pediatric Dentistry absolutely eleviates any anxiety or fear I have about dental visits. My son walked right to the back with them and came out without a tear in his eye I am over the moon happy ! Now all I need is the Dr piper for grown ups !!! read more

I've had 4 visits I believe to Dr. Piper's office and so far I'm loving it. After about a decade of really uncomfortable experiences I was hesitant to start the process of finding a new Dr. in my current town. After the recommendation from a co-worker my husband went first : ) followed by myself after his vote of approval. First and foremost the staff are wonderful, I really appreciate how it's all women, I feel very comfortable, especially after having a male dentist before. The receptionist greets you by name and intake is always quick. There's a little cooler with waters if you're thirsty and lots of magazines. The facility is very new and appears well equipped with televisions above the cleaning chairs and x-Ray stations at every chair as well. The hygienists are also very friendly and gentle, which I appreciate. Doctor Piper is so friendly and is a compassionate dentist, she's a very good listener and is sensitive to your concerns or worries as a patient. I feel like she's truly listening and cares even if she's heard it a million times before from other patients. She's honest in her assessments of areas of concern and I really feel like I can trust her, which wasn't the case with where I previously went. All in all I'm really liking this facility, Doctor and staff and highly recommend her. Also her husband's pediatric dentistry practice is in the same building which is a plus if you have kids. read more

my kids went here for years I thought it was great until our latest visit when my child was not properly checked in bye there front desk staff we waited for almost an hour after our initial apt time, than I hear the lady who "checked" us in say "oh they were late so I just switched they're apt time" I was furious at this point so I kindly told them I was actually 5 minutes EARLY & how unprofessional they are and left! read more

My daughter is 3 1/2 and has been seeing Dr. Piper since she was 6 months old. Such wonderful care. When she was 2 she fell on her water bottle and pushed one of her front teeth all the way into the gum! I was pretty frantic about the whole thing, and called the after hours line. Dr. Piper was away at a family function but called me right back, and even had me text pictures so he could do a preliminary diagnosis. We were able to relax and avoid sitting in the emergency room which would have exasperated the situation. Wouldn't go anywhere else!!! read more

They were initially very friendly and caring until my insurance switched. I called prior to having my regular cleaning to make sure they accepted my new insurance. The receptionist verified that they did in fact take my insurance and I would be covered for a routine cleaning. I made the appt, went to my cleaning and then a month or so later, I received a hefty bill with a hand written note that stated, "Sorry, I guess it is not covered." WOW. I would NOT have made the appt if it was not covered and would have switched regretfully to another dentist. I loved the staff but this has left a bad taste in my mouth--pun intended. I contacted the office several times after disputing the charges and they would not help me. They simply provided a generic answer-no credit to my account, no apology, nothing. I called insurance and disputed the charge as insurance told me a cleaning was in fact covered. The office did not budge and sent this to collections...now, my credit has a bad mark. Thank you for nothing. read more

Dr Piper and his staff are wonderful! They have moved to an even better location and now offer adult dentistry with his wife too! Thank you for taking care of my kiddos teeth! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. The first few years seemed great, up until one of my two boys got a cavity. Dr. Piper talked down to me and was very rude. I wanted more information on what to do for my son's oral hygiene, as his brother never gets cavities, they don't snack, rarely eat candy, and brush frequently. He was snarky and replied that if I were doing those things there shouldn't be a problem. I am a nurse, and I definitely understand good hygiene and health. Then, my son was so scared and they suggested general anesthesia because of one time that he refused to sit in the chair. I refused (as a nurse myself, I know the risks of general anesthesia which far outweighed the benefit in this situation). We decided on conscious sedation, as this is much safer. They made us wait for way too long, and the medication wore off towards the end of the procedure. My son was crying and they didn't stop, they just kept drilling.....he was FIVE YEARS OLD!!!! I had to try my best to comfort him. He was already petrified, now he will never want to go back. I am switching him to a provider that gets much better reviews. read more

I am a new patient of Dr. Emily Piper and must say that my entire experience here was beyond impressive. I visited Dr. Piper for an exam and teeth cleaning after having avoided the dentist for over 8 years. The administrative staff was very informative as to the scheduling, billing, and insurance coverage questions I had for them. The dental assistants we're friendly, professional, and conscientious of any discomfort I may be feeling. And Dr. Piper polished off the exam with a visual presentation of my problem areas and different options for care plans. I am looking forward to Dr. Piper, her team, and the ceiling mounted flat screens at my next visit. You guys are seriously great! read more

This place is the worst. I went to Piper Pediatric because they were a preferred provider through my dental insurance. Unfortunately, what they do is bill your insurance as well as you, charging more than the prearranged pricing already negotiated with your insurance and trying to get additional money from you as well. When I called and asked the office manager what the bill was for she actually used the words "free money" in describing how my insurance covers things. Needless to say after a phone call to my insurance company she was wrong and so is what they are doing. I called the office manager back and she adjusted the bill accordingly. They are scam artists, who shouldn't be trusted. In retrospect I should have reported them to the BBB. Take heed and steer clear. read more

Our son required a procedure to be done under general anesthesia. The waitlist for procedures was three months. During the time we waited his condition worsened and he required more extensive work - with additional cost. There was never any mention that his condition could've deteriorated from Dr. Piper. If we had known we would've sought another dentist who could've done the surgery sooner. I would recommend seeing someone with more experience and who has more room in their schedule. read more
