I have been a patient of Dr. Sam Sage for many years, along with other members of my family. We…read morehave always received outstanding care from him and his entire team. Dr. Sage is not only professional and highly skilled, but also very kind and attentive. I would especially like to highlight Julia, the hygienist -- she is incredibly thorough, gentle, and friendly. The office assistants are also always welcoming and helpful. We truly feel well taken care of every time we visit. While looking through the reviews recently, I was surprised and disappointed to see the overall rating lower than expected. Some reviews, like one I read recently, seem to reflect personal frustration with unrelated incidents rather than the actual dental care provided. Unfortunately, this can misrepresent the excellent service and dedication this team consistently offers. I wanted to leave this review to share our positive and consistent experience over the years. Dr. Sage and his staff deserve far more than 3 stars -- they've absolutely earned 5 stars in our book!

They will schedule you for more maintenance than you requested without knowing. They will also say you need deep cleanings and diagnose you incorrectly to get more money. I have since gone to new dentists and they are confused why I was getting deep cleanings and diagnosed the way I was. Some of the hygienists are great I will say and some are very judgmental, rude, and aggressive. Overall don't recommend anymore.

So... It's uncomfortable to write a negative review because SOME of the staff here are very nice -…read morethe hygienist in particular is very pleasant. But my experience with this dentists office has been overall very negative. First of all, they are not great with kids. My 6 year old was chastised and shamed for not being able to hold still enough for them to paint her teeth with something. Not great, but ok - they are not listed as a pediatric dentist, so maybe that's on us. But then there were other, ongoing issues: 1. As others have noted, it's impossible to get an appointment with them. They are regularly booking 9 months out. It's also VERY hard to reach someone on the phone - they really want you to book through their website. 2. Because of having to book super far in the future, I have had to cancel multiple appointments when the date rolls around. I just can't predict my work schedule etc. Not only is this very hard to do because it's impossible to reach people on the phone, but TWICE I had them charge me a $50 cancelation/ no-show fee because they did not listen to the voice message I left to cancel (because no one answered). 3. The straw that broke the camel's back was this past November, when I got a call on a Thursday evening at 5:30pm checking to see if I would be coming in for a SEVEN AM APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY. I had no record of this appointment in my calendar - and unless I was in a fugue state there is no way I would have EVER booked a dentist appointment at 7am. But there was no convincing them that this was an error - bam, another $50 cancelation fee. In addition to all of this scheduling and cancelation drama, I also want to mention that the dentist here has told me some very unusual things about caring for my teeth. She told me, for example, to *try not to let the toothbrush touch my gums?!* I have definitely had other dentists tell me to make SURE to brush my gums.... I am not a dentist, so I don't want to say this is outright wrong... maybe the advice has changed? But... somehow I doubt it.

They only have one hygienist on staff and the 6-month appointments turn into 8 month appointments…read more The hygienist also works super fast and it's the most painful cleanings I've ever gotten at any dentist. I am now getting ortho treatments and nothing about the angel aligners has been explained to me proactively. They didn't explain the attachments, show me any treatment plan or get me connected with clincheck, didn't explain bite ramps. I found all this information out online - or in the case of the attachments, right after they added them to my teeth. Seems like they're mostly interested in selling the product rather than guiding you through the treatment or keeping you informed. I've left voicemails several times and they are never acknowledged. Questions for my ortho and to reschedule appointments. Once my ortho treatments are done I won't be returning if things don't improve.

My first dental experience in the U.S. was at Avila Dental more than a decade ago. Although a long…read moretime has passed, every time I visit a dental office I am reminded of what happened there, so I decided to write this review now. The dentist, Dr. Bello, was professional, but my experience with the hygienist, Kelly, was extremely negative. At that time, I had just moved to the United States, did not speak English well, and naturally relied on my husband to communicate. Instead of showing understanding, Kelly made remarks suggesting that I was like a child depending on my husband. I found this deeply mocking and humiliating. During the cleaning, she smiled while inflicting pain on me, and it felt cruel and deliberate. As an Asian immigrant who couldn't speak English then, I felt that she treated me differently in a way she would not have treated other patients. That made the experience even more painful and isolating. I cannot confirm whether Kelly is still working there, but that experience left me with lasting trauma and a deep mistrust toward dental hygienists in America. In my opinion, no patient should ever be made to feel ridiculed or discriminated against because of language or cultural background.

Markeson Dentistry is located on floor 1 (may be downstairs) in a professional building in…read moreNorthgate. There is a parking lot and in a pinch, you can park along the street (but I've always found a space). The staff there is proactive and helpful. I first started seeing Dr. Markeson after I moved to Seattle from AZ, where I had a dentist who tried to give me 4 crowns (got a 2nd opinion in AZ). In my youth I also had sort of negative dentist experiences causing me to avoid the dentist if possible. Dr. Markeson took the time to explain procedures (he recommended fixing my old fillings by replacing them with new fillings) and definitely took the time to let me ask questions and address any concerns. I visited his office regularly for dental cleanings and also Invisalign. I actually tried to continue coming to the office once I got married and moved to Tacoma, but alas! My dental insurance changed and it seemed like a big effort to make it the distance with a small child at home. I recently visited Dr Markeson for a cleaning again. There was a small mixup where I thought my insurance could work, but it didn't. I paid out of pocket for my dental cleaning and got to ask Dr Markeson some questions about dental procedures that a dentist in Tacoma was recommending. I felt a lot more informed when I left. Also I brought my small kiddo to hang out and use an iPad while I had my appt, no issues! My dental cleaning and x rays were thorough and easy, no issues.

She says billing insurance is a common curtesy they do that other dentists don't offer. But she is incapable of resolving insurance issues on her own.
