I love Dr Broom. If you haven't been to the dentist in a while (which I hadn't) and are afraid of being scolded...don't despair. He will fix you up and help you improve from there and is super nice. His dental assistants are great and made it very comfortable for me. I am a grad student at UW and they take the GAIP insurance without any question, I had to pay a little out of pocket for a filling, but it was about $25 bucks. It might be more if you have more work done, but the insurance covers cleanings every 6 months and x-rays every year. I really recommend him, he's close, convenient and it doesn't take a million years to get an appt! read more

What else can be said that isn't a repeat of what the other Yelp reviews have described of Dr. Broom? I received a new patient complimentary consultation from Dr. Broom about some tooth sensitivity. Not only did he helpfully identify the most likely tooth giving off the sensitivity, but he even provided thorough details about the possible underlying causes, realistic treatment options, and outlook for my overall dental health going forward. He and his team are the some of the most personable dental professionals around. Rather than use blame or scare tactics, it was clear that Dr. Broom has a genuine interest in his patients' dental health. His interactions with me during my consultation were concise, friendly, and open-minded. For people who live in the U District, his office location is very convenient. Though he runs a small practice, this does not affect the excellent service you will receive on your visit. Currently, his open hours are different each day, so do plan ahead when it comes to scheduling an appointment. His location on the right side of the Wilsonian Apartment second floor can be easily missed if you're assuming to see a big sign with his name on it. read more

Dr. Broom is always a pleasure to visit. He and his staff foster a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and his pricing is affordable.

Fantastic guy, good dentist, and great staff. I went here just because I was in graduate school at the U but always enjoyed going by there (as much as anyone ever likes going to the dentist). Always good service and extremely friendly. Highly recommended read more

Mr. Broom is really a nice guy. I've seen him 2 times now and he is very personable and respectable of different opinions. He spent the time to talk to me about my options regarding removing a amalgam filling. He never makes you feel rushed and is willing to answer any questions/concerns. I would recommend him to anyone in the area. Parking is also free when you validate with the office. Nice People! read more

Here is a dentist who is a real human being. You can tell he is just as genuine inside as outside the office. When he pulls out the sharp, pointy, vibrating, terrifying instruments...he doesn't turn into a zombie. Just the same guy who doesn't mind answering the phone, not to mention all your pesky questions, treats his assistant well, tells you how to take care of your teeth without implying you don't already know how, squeezes you in for emergencies and then refers you to a great endodontist for a root canal, and really doesn't see the point in doing x-rays every single time you visit. Of course, not all human beings are great dentists. But Dr. Broom is. read more

I went in for a cleaning & general checkup this week. Dr. Broom himself is a good dentist who is very friendly, but the hygenist was pretty rough. If you're just in for a cleaning, I'd be tempted to say go somewhere else, but if you need actual dental work done, Dr. Broom seems like he'd be a good guy to go to. The office set-up is also a little awkward... the patient rooms aren't entirely closed off from the reception area. read more

Dr. Broom is awesome-- I started going to see him after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews here, and they were all totally warranted. He's a really nice guy, was super patient when I was anxious about getting a filling after a really bad experience I had had with a previous dentist, and he doesn't give you the hard sell on stuff. He suggested I should check into getting a mouthguard to help me with grinding, but he suggested I try one of the over-the-counter ones to start with just to see if it would help without having to shell out five times as much for a fancy custom-made model. My wife and one of our friends have started seeing him too, and they both like him a lot, too. read more

Dr Broom does dentistry right. Not many dentists/orthodontists/doctors truly are in it for the patient any more, but Dr Broom is one of them and you can sense it. There is good reason that he is so well reviewed. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dr. Broom is awesome. I started going to him for cleanings two years ago after seeing his reviews on Yelp, and the reviews are spot on. He's easygoing, honest, and takes a lot of stress out of seeing a dentist. His office is also small, so I feel like I have his full attention during my visits. read more

I went to Dr. Broom while living in the U-District. He was amazing! He accepts Graduate-Appointee Plus insurance, which is why I initially chose him, but I would have kept going back after graduation if i didn't move out of state. I never had to wait long, I never had a problem with insurance/billing, and I felt like Dr. Broom was more than willing to spend extra time with me if I had a problem or question. read more

I have been going to Dr. Broom for 7 years and I LOVE LOVE LOVE him and the whole staff. They are great people and they do everything they can to help you and make your trip to the dentist as pleasant as possible. I now bring my daughter to Dr. Broom and she loves him too. read more

I just went here and really enjoyed the service. I was seen quickly after entering Dr. Broom was friendly and honest. He pointed out a few minor concerns with my gum line and teeth alignment but recommended against doing anything because they were, again, minor. Other dentists often try to sell you on unnecessary procedures, this is not the case here. He also was happy to educate me on what he was doing and why. Finally, Broom seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and where I was going with my studies. read more

Going to Dr. Broom makes going to the dentist easy, really. He is quick, gentle and one of the nicest guys around. He also has never tried to "sell" me any work that I don't need. I will be a patient of him for years to come. read more

I've been going to Dr. Broom for years. He's a great dentist. He genuinely cares about his patients, listens to their concerns and gets you in and out in a reasonable amount of time. I'll keep going to him as long as I can. read more

I started seeing Dr. Broom several years ago at the recommendation of a friend. He is a great dentist, and his "bedside" manner puts you at ease. His office staff are very friendly and professional and always remember my name. I cannot speak highly enough of his practice. read more

Dr. Broom is really wonderful. I hadn't been to a dentist for a few years and had prepared myself for the typical guilt trip that dentists have perfected, but he took it in stride and just focused on the future instead of the past. Prices were incredibly decent and he doesn't pressure you regarding additional procedures/treatments. read more

I had a great experience here and Dr. Broom is very understanding of being on a budget and not having dental insurance. I would recommend him to anyone :) read more

Dr. Broom was more personable than any dentist I've been to, it was a great experience. I'm on GAIP insurance and his office works it out so they bill the insurance directly, no fuss, which was the best part. He was a little bit harder on my teeth that I liked at first (I have sensitive teeth) but was gentle when I told him, and recommended an OTC fluoride mouthwash that has really helped my sensitivity (and he told me not to use as much as they say, and it's totally true!). read more

I usually hate dentists but had a great experience with Dr. Broom and his staff. I feel like he genuinely cared about the health of my teeth and didn't try to force any services or procedures on me. Insurance billing also went smooth so that is also a plus! I recommend anybody looking for a new dentist to visit Dr. Broom. read more

Dr. Broom is a fantastic dentist and I highly recommend him! He answered every single question I had and did a great job fixing a tooth that was starting to cause me pain. The procedure was quick and he made sure to keep pain to a minimum. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist after a bad experience I had in the past, but no more. Anyone needing dental attention should visit Dr. Broom!!! read more

I have been coming to this dentist office for my entire life. Literally. I was a patient here when Dr. Wemer was practicing, and then became a patient of Dr. Broom when Dr. Wemer retired. I have been through numerous tooth extractions, impacted teeth, braces, root canals--you name it. Dr. Broom and his staff have always made me feel like family and although I only go once a year, they are always up to date on my life and ask about my family. I love the fact that the office hasn't changed--Jerry Seinfeld has been welcoming me in for years. I have never once felt that I have had to have an unnecessary procedure done and that is probably the reason why even though I live in Tacoma, will take an entire day off work to drive up to Seattle and see Dr. Broom. Truly one of the last honest doctors out there. Kudos to you and your staff, Dr. Broom! read more

He's really about making sure you get done what is needed - no frivolity. Thank you!

What a kind and personable group! This is the first time I haven't been chastisted for not flossing enough. ("You're going to get gum disease!) Not only was Dr.Broom incredibly personable, but a great educator. Do you know what tartar is? I do NOW! If you're without dental insurance, you're not going to find a fairer price. Thank you. Thank you. read more

I tend to let things go until the last minute, and that includes my grill. I had two cavities that were old and getting older and louder and I waited until they were screaming at me to call around for a dentist in my delta dental plan. Luckily, his receptionist sensed the urgency and they got me in with only a couple hours notice. I love that his office is small and not fancy, his receptionist is still working on paper and he's a pretty young guy who is very personable. He made me feel really comfortable and he was upfront on price and worked with me on my options since I couldn't afford two root canals right away. I've recently been back to see him while pregnant and I really trust that he not only knows what he is doing, but he doesn't do anything that's not necessary. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is NOT looking for a Nordstrom's dental experience, but something fairly priced, professional and trustworthy. read more

I called repeatedly, not getting an answer. Finally, I left a message on their machine requesting they call me, and never heard from them. I guess I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I agree with Rachel P. Dr. Broom was really nice and professional but his hygienist was rough with the polishing (touching the metal polishing tool to my teeth and lips multiple times). For a general cleaning I would cringe to go back. read more

Most likeable dentist ever. Thorough cleaning, good advice. Not painful, especially considering I hadn't been to the dentist in years. Appreciated his referral to a TMJ specialist for a problem outside his practice area as well. read more

Dr. Broom is the best dentist I have ever been to. Excellent choice for someone who is frightened of going to the dentist. Dr. Broom will treat you right. read more

I am glad I found this dentist on yelp. I went in for putting a crown on one of the back teeth and he did a great job. He educated me through the whole process. He was very reasonable in his prices and his office folks were super engaging. Great dentist and I switched to his office after that visit. Other dentist I went to always charged a lot and I was glad I found Dr.Broom. read more

In trying to set up an initial appointment, I was met by a rude receptionist who curtly told me they're not taking any new customers. SO unnecessary. Based on first impression, I would definitely NOT recommend this dentist office to anyone. read more

I was in Seattle only for the summer, so when I had a dental concern I was worried about what to do. Scheduling a quick consult was very easy, and Dr. Broom and the staff provided wonderful care and were very kind! read more

Dr. Broom is professional, friendly, and not pushy about his services. Also the quality of service he provides has always been excellent. He will be our family dentist as long as I'm in Seattle. Also, great service for anyone on the GAIP plan. read more

I have had a consistently great experience with Dr. Broom and his staff. They are friendly, professional and always on time. Dr. Broom is clearly very skilled and does a great job educating patients. He is also very modern- no mercury amalgams. Also very affordable. Great experience all around. read more

Our family has been with Dr. Broom for years and he is truly our dentist "friend of the family"! I would highly recommend him to anyone with dental needs and know that they would receive top quality service and treated with care and respect. read more

I have had three appointments with this dentist, both cleanings and fillings. I have had no problems with the service here, although it should be noted wait times are 1-2 months. I am not capable of evaluating the quality of the dentistry work other than to report that there have been no obvious problems. read more

I'll be honest with you, I really don't enjoy going to the dentist. In fact, my left leg begins to tremble when the thought of having to see one crosses my mind. Nevertheless, I still make that dreaded call every 6 months to schedule a check-up and teeth cleaning. So far, I've been seeing Dr. Broom since 2009 and EVERY time I finish I always leave feeling good about my visit. Dr Broom is one of the best dentists I've ever had. He's personable, laid back and really easy to talk to. None of this "socially awkward" B.S. For those who are wondering, they do accept GAIP (Graduate Appointee Insurance Program) and that's the best part about it. After the initial visit I don't have to deal with signing anything, showing ID or paying anything up front. I just walk in, wait 1 minutes to get called in, he or his assistant gets started right away and once they're done, I'm out the door (that's literally what happens). Almost all my visits have been 30 minutes or less. Of course, that won't be the case if your teeth need more attention but as long as you have no cavities the visit should be short. The location is convenient for me as well since they are located in the U District. Just a bike ride away from where I'm at. If I was held at gunpoint and forced to say something negative about them the only thing I would say is that scheduling an appointment can be somewhat annoying. I think the front office staff only works there part time so you might not always be able to get a hold of someone right away when you call. He and his assistant are probably busy with patients. Don't worry, just leave a message and Dr. Broom or a staff member will call you right back. It's not a huge dental clinic. Just a small dental office with two exam chairs so the most patients they can see at one time are two. In a nutshell, if your teeth are fearfully from being seen by a dentist, reassure them that things are okay because Dr Broom is in the house (...or... mouth)! read more
