Adding insult to injury they wanted me to get a cosmetic procedure that was not covered at all by insurance, so I could 'look prettier" oh yes, and they kept "forgetting " to deduct my payments I had made!!!

My husband, Greg, has been a…read morepatient for many years but because I live more than 30 miles away from the Oly Tumwater Dental office, I was reluctant to change dentists. I am so glad I did. My teeth have always been a challenge. Root canals are often needed as are bridges, caps and crowns. Dr. Shingu is very thorough and a perfectionist. This summer, I broke the cap on my front tooth and so needed a new one. Dr. Shingu is a perfectionist who made the most beautiful front tooth I've ever had (I initially broke the tooth more than 5 decades ago so there have been many caps over the years). This tooth is a perfect match in shape and color. For the first time in my life, I can smile without feeling self-conscious. Thank you Dr. Shingu!

The dental hygienists and assistants that she works with are all super kind and gentle. The "comfort menu" is truly that. Anything you think of that would help calm your nerves or make you more comfortable for your appointment is on that list. The noise of the tools was driving me crazy and they gave me noise canceling headphones. If you don't want to use theirs, they don't mind if you bring your own. Each room also has a monitor in it and they'll play you whatever show you want. I've only had to wait more than 5 minutes for an appointment once. There is rarely more than one person waiting at a time. They have TWO waiting areas! I've only had a billing once when they were switching platforms. My insurance didn't transfer over. But it was an easy fix and the staff were super helpful. You check out a totally private desk so the world doesn't hear all your business. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. If you have dentist anxiety, come here. You won't regret it.

We've been seeing Dr. Yamaguchi for years now and I can honestly say that our entire family is…read moreincredibly happy with the care we receive. From our young children to elder grandparents Dr. Yamaguchi has been nothing short of amazing! The office staff is always friendly, welcoming and efficient. The environment is comfortable and clean, making us feel at ease even the kids who used to be nervous about dentist visits now look forward to their check ups! Dr. Yamaguchi is so patient and gentle taking the time to explain everything and answer all of our questions. We've had everything from routine cleanings to more extensive work done and we've always been impressed with the professionalism and expertise. They also have the latest technology making treatments quicker and more effective. I truly appreciate how they prioritize, both comfort and long-term health for each of us. Highly recommend Dr. Yamaguchi and all of his staff for anyone looking for a trustworthy skilled and caring dentist for the whole family.

Dr. Garret and his staff are absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with…read morea smile. They go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and have an exceptional experience. I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Garret is young and is up to date with all the latest technology. He listens to your concerns and will do whatever he can to put any fears/concerns at ease. Dr. Garret cares about his patients. My two front teeth were shaped weird from a previous dentist after having Invisalign, which made them stand out like buck teeth. I hated to smile. I talked to Dr. Garret about it, and he offered to reshape them, and it repaired my self-esteem in 5 minutes. I have never smiled so much! Yamaguchi Family has a Xray machine called the "Nomad" and oh my goodness having x-rays done are fast and pain-free. I have always been fearful of going to the dentist. But coming to Yamaguchi Family Dentistry is like going to the spa. They are extremely patient focused and want to make sure everything goes smoothly. I have never had a hygienist give me such a thorough cleaning. My teeth look and feel so clean. I appreciate that they go the extra mile for their patients and even follow up to make sure everything went smoothly. I can't say enough about their front desk ladies. Stephanie, Yuli and Buffi are all such friendly ladies and always so personable and caring. My hygienist Akeisha is super kind and has an exceptional personality. She is informative and educates on oral health. I was having an issue flossing in area around my molars, she gave me some tools (floss picks) and techniques to help me. I can't thank Dr. Garret and his crew enough for everything. I have the brightest smile in the PNW!!! My oral health has really grown in the years I have been a patient.

The entire team stayed on, which says a lot about Dr. Choi. The other day I went in for a scheduled filling. They found, after numbing my gum and a few quick races with their brand new little x-ray gun (which makes it incredibly easy by the way) that there were a few small cracks in the tooth, but actually no cavity. Since I have terrible insurance right now and couldn't really afford to pay for the service, Dr. Choi said "no problem. We can defer this and there will be no charge for today." it is so refreshing these days when so much in life is so transactional. He just wanted to make sure that I had to care that I needed and that I could afford. This is a five star review. Thank you, Dr. Choi and welcome to the dental practice!

I am extremely disappointed with Affordable Family Dental. My first (and only) experience with them…read morewas in September of 2024, and I'm still so upset about it that I felt compelled to write this review. I went there as a new patient to establish care, have X-rays taken, and get a cleaning. The receptionist was very standoffish and was under the impression that I had called to cancel my appointment (I had not). Despite arriving on time for my appointment, I was informed that there was not enough time for a cleaning and that they would only be able to take X-rays. This was frustrating, but not the end of the world. Dr. Dhanoa told me that I had a few cavities that needed to be filled, which was not a surprise, as I have always been cavity-prone. What did come as a shock, however, was when he informed me that I needed to have many old fillings re-done, amounting to 13 fillings altogether! This seemed odd to me, and I decided to get a second opinion from another dentist. I requested my dental X-rays from Affordable Family Dental multiple times - twice over the phone, and twice via email - and they never sent them to me despite my having filled out their records release authorization form. It was abundantly clear every time I called that the receptionist had no interest in helping me and could not wait to get off the phone. Two of the times I called in, she actually hung up before I had finished talking. I explained my situation to another local dentist, and thankfully, they were very understanding, were able to fit me in right away, and took a whole new set of X-rays for free (shout-out to Access Dental!). The new dentist said that I only needed to have the new cavities filled and that the other work that Dr. Dhanoa told me I needed was excessive. The impression I received was that Dr. Dhanoa was trying to squeeze as much money as he could out of my insurance. I also feel that his office is intentionally withholding my dental records. This is a violation of WAC 246-817-310 and HIPAA's 45 CFR § 164.524. Between this and the rude, incompetent front desk staff, I am flabbergasted that Affordable Family Dental has such high reviews. Something positive I would like to mention is my experience with the dental hygienist who took my X-rays, Stephany. She was very sweet and was aware of the discomfort that oral X-rays can cause. She worked quickly and told me to let her know if I needed a break. She was the bright spot in what was otherwise a frustrating and lackluster experience. While they have lost my business, I truly hope that Affordable Family Dental will take this feedback seriously and do better moving forward.
