This practice is so darned good…read more I literally wish I had more opportunity to recommend them to people. They treat their patients like absolute gold, are compassionate, professional, and technically excellent. Office staff is unfailingly friendly, responsive and helpful.

Dr. West and his team are phenomenal. I especially had a wonderful experience with Ericka who…read moreshowed great attention to detail and kindness during my visits to have a root canal (from a different endodontist in a previous state I lived in) re-done. Ericka performed the majority of my initial appointment to prepare for my root canal, and it went by quickly and efficiently. She's a pleasure to talk to and she clearly explained my case and alongside Dr. West, explained the plan for the root canal My root canal performed by Dr. West was ENTIRELY pain free. I was very comfortable during the whole procedure and could tell that he was being very thorough. It is evident that he takes tremendous pride in his work, and he has a beautiful office and practice to show for it. It's definitely no accident that his team is comprised of the kind, communicative people I had the pleasure of interacting with; dental work/root canals can be stressful, but I never once felt stressed in his team's care. The billing department was simple to work with and handled my insurance seamlessly. Rio called me to assure all my information was correct and to had a quote of my bill in time for me to review before my appointment. She had clear numbers outlined for me and helped me devise a simple payment plan for my treatment. From walking in to leaving, my appointments here have been so smooth and professional. I was originally referred from my dentist at Stadium Dental and am so happy that I scheduled with Dr. West!

I saw Dr. Marfo for a root canal a couple of weeks ago. He is probably the sweetest dentist In the…read moreUS. Dr. Marfo is meticulous, gentle and empathetic. He patted my shoulder and told me he was sorry when he gave me my injection! I was able to listen to a meditation while he efficiently and carefully did the root canal. I had zero anxiety and 100% confidence that he knew what he was doing. I highly recommend his office if you are one of those patients that doesn't like to have dental work done. I must not forget to mention Jonathan, at the front desk desk, who is so kind to not only me, but every patient he comes in contact. He treats every patient like they are the only patient they have. Dr. Marfo's staff is equally top notch.

A family member went in with tooth pain and had full X-rays done, but Dr. Marfo still seemed unsure…read morewhat was causing the problem. At first, he said he was 90% sure it was tooth #30. Then, during the same visit, he changed direction and said it might be another tooth. The diagnosis felt all over the place. He recommended pulling tooth #30, and if that did not solve the pain, possibly pulling another tooth next. That is extremely concerning when tooth removal is permanent. Thankfully, we got a second opinion. The new dentist and even his assistant immediately identified the real issue on the X-ray at the root area of the painful tooth. A root canal was needed, with no extractions required. If we had trusted Dr. Marfo's recommendation, my family member could have had teeth pulled unnecessarily, followed by bone grafts, post work, cost, and pain/suffering while the actual problem was left untreated. Based on this experience, I have no confidence in his judgment or treatment planning.

Simply the "BEST" I have ever experienced. From the front office staff, Debbie and Amie, to all the…read moreassistants, and especially Dr. Wittmer himself...they are truly the greatest. They are so nice and professional in every way. I came here for two root canals. First procedure went smooth. However, the second one was giving fits since it was a molar and I've always had difficult times with my molar teeth. Dr. Wittmer was very thorough and he was there to help me through everything. He was very detailed and always took the cautious route. I appreciated that he wasn't aggressive or quick with the process. He took time and I can tell he was doing the best thing for the patient's well being. In the end, everything worked out for me thanks to Dr. Wittmer. I highly recommend this office if you ever need a root canal done or just need to see an Endodontist. I will continue to refer friends and family to this place...

Endodontist needed?? No matter who your dentist suggests, call Dr Wittmer and see if your insurance…read moreis covered like mine did with Medicare through United Healthcare. I am so glad Lakewood Endodontics is on the provider list. Couple years ago I had to have a root canal. Now this year I needed another! My Medicare insurance covered both. Your TOOTH HURTS or you would not be searching I bet for an endodontist. That means you want an appointment NOW so to speak. Cool thing this office does is even though they set a date for me I asked to be called if any cancellations or reschedules: they called the next day and I gladly went in a day after first calling. That service is great unlike other medical providers who require you to call in , be on hold, then on hold to see if any openings, and then answering yes or no! Dr Sean Wittner whole office is ten! Upon his inspection, a root canal was needed. Upon the call back I proceeded to be seen even faster! through Endodontist Lakewoods Sean Wittner set an appointment for follow up portion of the root canal too to accomplish in two visits but the first one stopping the pain. Each of my visits, 100% that is, either several minutes before my scheduled time or within 2 minutes I was led back to a room and services commenced immediately (I.e. not waiting for another time period but rather services right away each time). His staff appears as though they love working there and genuinely happy and I told Dr Wittmer that directly as it's so true: it puts a patient in a great mood seeing that. Dr Wittmer explains exactly what he is going to do and shows the visual screen to explain. His quiet voice but stated communications with his assistant Misty in the room also helps reduce any stress too as well as listening to my questions. The rooms look professional also with two toned color schemes and crowns atop doors and windows gives a relaxed professional feeling once you enter the building ( instead of one drab color and blank walls). I hope to use this office the rest of my life if I ever need another root canal as he has performed those twice now perfectly without ever having to correct anything. Give yourself a chance to receive great services too by giving him a call. Address is 10904 Gravelly Lk. Dr Sw, Lakewood Wa 98499 Ph 253 589-3636. ( or go elsewhere and risk a place sitting and waiting, then into a room for sitting again, and wonder who is treating you that day). Hope I helped your desire to give Dr Wittmer a chance to impress you too! Every other office should see how friendly yet efficient this office is. It's worth driving many miles as a sore tooth needing a root canal is bad enough, so offset that with caring professional friendly endodontist.

This is the third time I am writing this review because I am new to YELP and obviously have no idea…read morewhat I am doing...so here goes the much shorter version. I feel so blessed to have been referred (by my boss) to Dr. Kuritani. He and his staff are incredible! I had a lot of anxiety coming into my appt for a root canal and they went above and beyond their duties to put me at ease. I made the mistake of asking others about their experiences and was told it would be painful to the point where I would need narcotics and would have to take the day off from work. This was absolutely NOT true. I could have easily gone back to work after the session....well after a nap since I had taken a pill to relax me prior to the procedure. :) There was very little pain and that was due to my jaw being open for so long. I also have preexisting issues with my jaw, so for the "normies" out there, it wouldn't be a problem. A couple Tylenol fixed the issue and I was back to being me. I was 100% satisfied with my experience beginning to end. True blessing to have found this team of efficient, accommodating and caring professionals.

If you are looking for a Dentist that is the top of her profession with an excellent bedside manner…read morethat also has an experienced team, Dr Khan is all that. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. I have been a patient of South Sound Dental Care for more than 25 years. I have always been more than happy with the professional & personalized care I have received over the years from Dr Khan and her team to keep my teeth healthy. My daughter began going with me when she was 3-4 she is now 11, we come every 6 months for our cleanings & check ups. My daughter recently had a bicycle accident causing trauma to three of her upper permanent teeth. So scary! Dr Khan and her team were absolutely amazing, they stayed open late to see us right away and got my daughters teeth back into place. (Not an easy task) Dr Khan did additional preventative measures as she has a mix of primary and permanent teeth. We now have a plan for our future treatment and things are going better than we thought they would. I credit this all to Dr Khan and her team for the efficient emergency repairs and follow up. Fantastic and family friendly practice...highly recommend.

Not at all happy with the treatment that I received. I had an infection and went to them to see…read morewhat was happening. They decided that I needed a root canal. Three months later the infection returned and another root canal was done. Three months after that one the infection returned. Went to the ER. They prescribed my some antibiotics. A week later I was able to get in to see her. With both root canals she could not get the area numb. Both times I came out of the chair with tears in my eyes because the procedure hurt so bad. I was referred to a specialist that said there were still nerves in both teeth and one tooth still had a canal that was not done. So after two root canals, two crowns, I have to pay another dentist over $4,000 to fix what she missed. I will not go back and I would not recommend anyone to seek treatment there. I paid to much in pain and money for two root canal's that were done incorrectly.

Poor Communication and Scheduling: I was referred by my…read moredentist in July for a tooth likely needing a root canal. At my first visit (July 1), the endodontist performed a cold test and told me to let it settle down and return in a few months. When I returned months later, he took another X-ray, performed another cold test, and confirmed I needed a root canal. However, the earliest available appointment was several weeks out. During this entire time, my tooth pain continued and worsened. One week before my scheduled procedure, the receptionist called to cancel my appointment, stating another patient had an "emergency" and needed my time slot. If this were truly an urgent emergency, the patient would have been seen immediately - not scheduled a week out by taking my already-booked appointment. The receptionist did call back offering a slightly earlier appointment, but gave me only 27 minutes to respond via text or the slot would be given away. I was unable to drop everything and respond within such an unreasonable timeframe. After months of waiting while in pain, having my treatment cancelled last-minute for a non-emergency, then being given an ultimatum with a 27-minute deadline, showed poor practice management and disregard for existing patients. I chose to find another endodontist who would respect both my patient needs and time.

They made what I expected to be a stressful experience surprisingly comfortable.

But unless you're some kind of developmentally impaired individual, you catch my drift. So maybe direct your questions to the person who ISN'T having trouble speaking. And when you get asked the question, "Did you just ask me to confirm the phone number *I* wrote down and handed to you as my own?" don't start with that "had to checcckk" attitude. If you were doing your job even slightly concerned for patient comfort you would have read the number back if you had questions and asked for yes or no as a respons, or asked the person with me. It's almost like NW Endo considered everything except who staffs the front desk. Find a different Endodontic Specialist. The front desk is hot garbage.

We made it through the root canal and I went home and slept. When I woke and my numbing had wore off, I was having intense pain still with cold that was lingering. I called the after hours line and the man I spoke with made me feel like it was no big deal. I asked if a root may have been missed, he said that's not possible(which I found to be a weird answer). He said I need to give it time and they would get back to me next week. He didn't specify a time, made no priority to get me scheduled. I asked if it would be Monday, he said he thinks the dentist who worked on me was not in till Tuesday. He told me that narcotic pain meds would not help my pain at all, only ibeprofen would. I was already taking max amount ibuprofen and Tylenol and still in so much pain. I insisted on stronger meds which he eventually agreed to. They do in fact help significantly.

I'm giving two starts because the endodontist who worked on me was nice in person.
