Rewards Dental of Kent - My husband getting her teeth's clean

Rewards Dental of Kent

I'm 48 years old, and this place was the worst dentistry I've ever been to…read more My first experience at this dental office will also be my last. The waiting room was crowded and noisy, all the furnitures were super worn out, and the floor was dirty with trash. The uncleanliness followed in the exam room. The dirty counter in the exam room was definitely an omnious sign of my appalling experience with them. Since I was a new patient, they took X-rays and proceeded to exam my teeth. Unlike any other dental places I've been to, they didn't even clean my teeth. Then the Asian male dentist (I didn't get his name) told me that I will need a deep cleaning and 9 fillings. After insurance is billed, I would have to pay about $1000 out-of-pocket for this recommended plan of care. I was shocked and troubled by Rewards Dental's recommendation. Mind you, I went to a different dentistry about 7 months prior and that place didn't tell me I needed a deep cleaning. In fact, they put me on a 1-year cleaning schedule as opposed to the 6-month schedule that I was accustomed to. They also didn't indicate that I needed any fillings done, let alone 9 of them. Today I just went to a different dentistry to get a 2nd opinion because Rewards Dental's plan of care for me seemed outrageous. The new dentist confirmed my suspicion because she didn't think I needed a deep cleaning, and she only recommended 1 filling which will only cost about $90 out-of-pocket. I am really appalled by Rewards Dental. This is clearly a case of an individual (or a practice) who prioritize profit over their patients' well-being. The unethical behavior found here is unacceptable. I hope this review will deter some people from going to Rewards Dental of Kent and in turn avoiding getting ripped off.

I was very surprised with there stuff it was very nice and there place was very clean and the…read morecleanest and the doctor was very gently and kind me and my husband always love getting out teeth's clean at this place and there also give you calls for reminder on time and let you know when is your next appointment. Love there service differently recommend going to this place:)

Office is pretty clean & dental staff are friendly! There is a large enough waiting room as this…read moreoffice caters to all different areas of dental. Technology can always get in the way when trying to transfer dentists but I think they got it all figured out. Being a new patient and their initial exam and observation - it all went smoothly!

I am writing to provide feedback about my recent dental cleaning appointment with hygienist…read moreNavreet. While I appreciate the professional care I ultimately received from the dentist, I felt that my interaction with Navreet was unnecessarily rude and condescending, which left me feeling disrespected as a patient. During the appointment, Navreet strongly recommended deep cleaning every 3-4 months. When I asked for a clear explanation of why this frequency was necessary, her responses felt dismissive. She mentioned "deep pockets" and when I inquired further (including whether my flossing habits might be a factor), she replied that we had already discussed this during a previous visit -- something I do not recall. However, even if it did occur and I don't recall then she shouldn't make a statement like that. There is nothing wrong explaining again if customer does not recall. I felt she was pushing the treatment plan without providing a satisfactory explanation tailored to my questions and concerns. When I expressed that I preferred to continue with periodontal cleanings every 6 months, Navreet continued to insist on the more frequent schedule, which frustrated me so I again responded that 6-months is fine and if you keep forcing this then I have right as a customer to go elsewhere. In response, she made a comment along the lines of "fine, you are a customer, right?" in a tone that felt sarcastic and disrespectful. This interaction made me feel that she was more focused on being "right" than on respectfully addressing my concerns as a valued patient. In all my life, I haven't seen any one so blatantly forcing treatment plan on the patient and when patient deny treatment plan then basically replying with "seek treatment else where if don't accept". The thing is I feel that my teeth are perfectly fine so I don't need this aggressive deep-cleaning every 3-4 months. Also this treatment plan is expensive where most insurances don't cover. I recommend some sort of disciplinary action for this individual as her behavior is wild and not acceptable in any work place; especially in a patient care environment. Additionally, her communication style throughout the appointment came across as patronizing. For example, she questioned me in a tone and manner similar to a teacher speaking to a student or boss talking to employee such as asking how many times a day I brush my teeth and after hearing me responding that I brush and floss once a day then instructing me to "try brushing two to three times a day". I want to note that Dr. Julie Kim who joined later explained the situation clearly and professionally, which I greatly appreciated. However, Navreet's final remark when I walked out -- "see, she agreed with me" -- reinforced my impression that the interaction was more about proving a point than providing courteous patient care. Note that this same issue has been going on for many dental cleaning appointments in the past with Navreet and only after today appointment; I decide to write a feedback.

I've gone to this dentist for over 6 years. Primarily every 6 months for a cleaning…read more I go the Lisa the hygienist she's a perfectionist and takes great pride on doing her job perfectly not missing a thing. I can appreciate that. She and I have long and fun conversations before and after my cleaning. I have to have Lisa do my teeth for that reason. Her chair-side manner is great! Dr. Hagemeier is warm and friendly too although he just does a quick run through and check on the teeth. I have no major issues so he doesn't have to spend too much time with me for my appts. Generally the bulk of my appt is spent with Lisa making sure she got all the plaque. She is a god sent, she helped me acquire a night guard, I'm a grinder when I sleep and used to wake up each morning with a sore jaw. She got me fitted & ready for a new mouth piece that has changed my life for the better! The front desk and all the hygienist are pleasant and welcoming. I really like it there! And I don't live close at all! I live in tacoma and probably pass 100s of dental offices. I believe if your happy with the service or dentistry it's worth the drive!! And if preventative dental is all you need your really only driving twice a year!

I found this dentist and made an appointment after reading the reviews. I am not a lover of going…read moreto the dentist, so I read the reviews. I got there and I was welcomed by name. I got checked in, waited like 5 minutes and then I went back. I had x-rays done with a very friendly lady. I don't remember her name but she was great. Dr. Hagemeier was also great. Very laid back. Checked thoroughly. Asked if I had concerns and was done shortly after. After that I went back in the waiting area for maybe another few minutes and went back with the dental hygienist. She was great. Very caring. She cleaned my teeth and after 2 hours I was out of there. I hadn't been in 2 years so the cleaning took a bit. But my gums don't hurt like they usually do after visiting a dentist for the first time. Will definitely go back and thankful I found my home dentist office!
