I was very, very nervous going into this procedure - a tooth extraction. Dr. Paul, the nurse, and the assistant made me feel at ease and comfortable. They were all very personable, friendly, and kind which really reduced my anxiety. I really appreciated the breathing techniques the nurse guided me through as she gave the numbing agents. That made the discomfort of the injections very tolerable. Dr. Paul was great: funny, friendly, and skilled. If I ever need this kind of service again, I will return here. I highly recommend Summit Implants and Oral Surgery. read more

After having several molers removed, called with a question. no return call. been two months since removal, now have a painful infection. Called in the am. got a return call just before they close and they want me to drive to a different, inconvenient location next day, cuz they don't seem to work in any office more than 1 day a week. Do Not recommend. Find a responsive dentist who cares and follows up with their patients. read more

Sadly I couldn't get passed the unhelpful shark answering the phones. Maybe handling answering the phone for all these locations is too much to get all the patients info. What happened to office work.doing their jobs. read more

I went in for a tooth extraction and the front office was extremely nice and professional and the 2 nurses that helped were amazing and the doctor was so good. He explained everything well and did the job so smooth and fast he even called me to check up on me later on in the evening, 10 stars!!! read more

Had a follow up with Dr. Cottam and care team is great. Office was very professional. He has such a calming effect!

I needed three teeth pulled. Nothing than anyone looks forward to. Dr. Lucas Beatty was my oral surgeon. Unless time then it took to make a cappuccino, my two broken and one infected tooth were out. If that wasn't astounding enough, he refunded me half of what was to be the original cost. What dentist does that?! I just left the office. I still feel like I'm in a fever dream that I don't want to be awakened from. The people at the reception portion of the office were great. His assistant was kind. Highly recommend this office. read more

Dr. Cottam and his team are incredible! As some one who suffers severe dental anxiety I wholeheartedly appreciated the lengths he and his staff went through to make me feel comfortable. From the reception team helping with billing questions to the my last step out the door- I was fully and thoughtfully taken care of. I had 3 extractions with same day implants- no pain!!! I had a terrible experience 10 years ago with my wisdom teeth and an awful dentist- this team has changed my mind on how going to the dentist should be. The are the best! read more

Operation : Wisdom teeth extraction (two top ) Once I felt my right top wisdom tooth sprout I immediately went to Rewards dental for an x -ray . The referred me to summit implants and or surgery . Dr. Cottam is amazing ! There were multiple nurses staffed to get me started , take my x-rays , ask me questions , and get the payment all in the works before the IV sedation therapy. They have me the IV, and next thing I woke up and was ready to go home . Honestly only pain was throbbing on my right side . It was so freaking quick and organized . They know what they're doing so try to relax and just get in and trust them . This is the place to go if you want a professional, and personable team! Dr. Cottam also follows up with all his patient. He personally called to check up on how I was feeling and if I had any additional questions . read more

If ever there were a provider deserving of a 5 star review, Dr. Beatty and his office staff at Summit Implants and Oral Surgery are it. At 56 I've seen my fair share of Dentist but Dr. Beatty is a cut above any DDS I've ever been too. He really listens and is fully engaged in treating and offering alternatives. Not only is he an over achiever (MD, DDS) but he's most likely over qualified to successfully treat your condition. I've seen Dr. Beatty multiple times and always received quality dentistry care and access to aftercare should I have a problem after hours when they are closed. If he wasn't a "specialist" he would definitely be my primary go-to dentist. His chair-side manners are what I have come to expect from any and all my care providers. The office staff are very professional and explain everything in detail really well. You just get that feeling that everyone there loves what they do and go out of their way to make you comfortable. I highly recommend this Dr. Beatty for your Implant and Oral Surgery care. read more

Dr Cottam was extremely pleasant and very comforting. My procedure was handled with speed, care and precision. At the end my bill was lower than quoted amount and I received a call from Dr. Cottam, himself, to make sure I was recovering well. I would give them a sixth star if possible!!!!!!! read more

I want to give five stars because the end result of my experience was great. The first part however almost had me wondering if I should find another place to have my wisdom teeth removed. I have so much dental anxiety it's not even funny. When my dentist told me I would need a referral to have all four impacted wisdom teeth removed, I was less that enthused. My dental office gave me the information for Summit Implants with a reassurance that they were amazing. The following week I called and scheduled an appointment and was told I would get a call back. Almost 10 days later I still had no phone call so I emailed the office and was told the insurance department still hadn't gotten to my paperwork. My third and final time Incalled I was livid and ready to cancel my appointment and find an office that was able to return my calls. Thank goodness I talked to Cindy who profusely apologized and told me she would handle me personally. On the day of my surgery I was very nervous. The staff was very nice and accommodating. One thing that did bother me was the billing woman thought it was a good time for me pay my balance as I was hooked up to the heart monitoring machine with tubes in my nose.....that could have waited. The surgery was over before I knew it and I went home to heal. Dr. Cottam even called me to check on me. I thought I was in for smooth sailing until my mouth started to swell up and my gums were hurting so bad. I called Dr. Cottam and he urged me to come and see him. Thank goodness I got in to see him right away. He cleaned my gums and gave me something to ease the pain. This was an overall painful experience but Dr. Cottam definitely made me feel at ease and I would highly recommend his office. read more

Doctor Lucas is a Great Doctor. I left a review in google but I want to add one here. My upper right molar has to be extracted. I was nervous at the beginning but as time pass by I knew that I was in a good place. The molar was extracted without any problems or discomfort given the fact taht it had long strong roots. I had no pain after the surgery. I bought pain medication but I didn't use it. The assistant was Great. She explained to me what I need to do and don't when I get home. She has a positive attitude. Front desk was great as well. If I have to do an extraction or other surgical work I will definitely go back to Doctor Lucas. Thank you for making this experience a very good one. I definitely recommend this place and Doctor Lucas. read more

Not COVID SAFE!!! Walked in the waiting room and the receptionist needed to put her mask on to help us. This may have set me off, as I am a healthcare provider and I am about to drop my daughter off for surgery, assuming that all employees of the surgery center would be masked. Then another customer came into a very small waiting room without his mask over his nose. I waited for the receptionist to correct him, which did not happen. So I asked him very nicely to reset his mask. Instead of doing this, he became angry, went into a diatribe about how he doesn't have COVID, recently tested, blah, blah, blah, all the time with nose and now mouth out of his mask. No intervention from receptionist came. My daughter and I removed ourselves to the hall. Shortly after the receptionist propped the door open and I could still hear the man in there having a hard time and bad mouthing me. I tried to close the door, but the receptionist said it needed to stay open because too many people handling the doorknob spreads COVID WTF??? But you can have an unmasked man in a small medical waiting room and do nothing about it. ??? I was in and out of the office and every time I walked by this man, he said something rude to me. This all could have so easily been prevented if he was asked by staff to wear his mask properly. I have to say, the rest our experience at Summit was simply awesome!!! Our entire experience outside of the waiting room was 5 star! Just know, you may need to fend for yourself at the front end of this clinic, but the back end will be a great experience. read more

I was referred to this place by my dentist as soon as my wisdom teeth started to cause me pain. I scheduled a consultation months ago to get a feel for this place, they explained everything to me in full. They were able to work with my schedule and fit me in, in September to remove all 4. On the day of I waited for about 5 minutes then was taken to the back. The assistant got me hooked up to their machines then another person came in and started an IV ( she was super quick) I waited for a bit then the dr beatty came in and administered drugs into my IV. Next thing i know I was waking up, I remember basically nothing but walking to the car. My appointment was at 9 and I was home by 1030. Super quick. Dr beatty called later that night to check in and answer any questions i had, which was really great. They provided everything i needed for after care as well. I felt only minor pain and soreness with no bruising at all. Overall, despite my anxiety regarding my wisdom teeth removal it was a really pleasant experience. I highly recommend dr beatty and his team! read more

Dr. Beatty and his entire team was amazing! I have a fear of dental work and having a painful fractured tooth they got me in within a day. They had to numb it several times to make me comfortable, the whole time making me feel better and taking their time. They explained the post op care really well and made the experience so pleasant. Very affordable high quality care. read more

OH MY GOODNESS. I was so scared to get my wisdom tooth taken out and I was so anxious because everyone was telling me all these crazy stories about how much it hurts. Since I only had to take one of them out and it was halfway-ish out of my gums, I chose to have local anesthesia instead of the general. The Doc (sorry I'm forgetting names since it's been 3 months since I've been here) was running an hour late because of another appointment, but he offered take the cost of the consultation off my bill which is very nice of him! With my insurance, I only paid $110 dollars. Anyways, the procedure wasn't bad at all! I'm scared of needles, but it felt like only a little pinch and some pressure. It took him less than 5 minutes to extract the tooth and I was left asking, "Is that it?!". I was so amazed! When I have time, I'll make another appointment to take out the other three. He even called me the next day to make sure everything was okay. Also, the receptionist and his assistants are super friendly and they go out of their way to take care of you. Thanks Summit for making wisdom tooth extractions such a great experience! read more

I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted with Dr. Cottam, and the bottom 2 being impacted. The process was fast and painless. I really appreciated that Dr. Cottam answered my call at 2AM for questions. The staffs were nice and friendly. 10/10 service for me! read more

Dr Beatty and the team at Summit went above and beyond to work around my schedule and were very respectful of my financial situation. My extractions were fast and pain free and I left feeling relaxed and happy! Thank you Dr Beatty and everyone at Summit who made my visit a great one! read more

Thank you, to the staff of Summit for creating a comfortable atmosphere to calm my anxiety. The staff and Doctor were very compassionate and caring. I will come back for all my future needs in oral surgery. They have a nice recovery room for you to relax in before you can leave to go home. read more

I've never written a yelp review before but my experience at the West Seattle branch of Summit Implants & Oral Surgery was so bad I feel the need to warn other people. I am a very high anxiety patient, which I made clear before coming to the office. I was sent a quote for prices via email before I went to the office and when I arrived everything seemed fine and normal. I filled out the paper work in the waiting room, waited another 5 or 10 minutes and then I was called back into the room where my wisdom teeth were going to be extracted. The dental assistant (who was great) confirmed and entered my information into the computer. Since I was going to be put under for the procedure I was hooked up with a band around my arm to monitor my blood pressure, a clamp on each wrist to monitor heart rate, tubes in my nose for Co2 monitoring, and a clamp on my right index finger. The dental assistant then put the IV in my right arm. This is when the receptionist came into the room with a clipboard and told me she needed to go over pricing with me. I said okay although I thought the timing was a little strange and she showed me the breakdown of pricing. After showing me she asked "will you be paying for this or is someone else paying" I told her I would be paying and she said "ok, I'll take payment now." I was totally caught off guard. I looked at my purse, which was across the room on a chair and being tangled in tubes and wires I couldn't get up to get it. She asked if I wanted her to hand me my purse and I said okay. She handed my purse to me and I gave her my card. I was clearly very uncomfortable and when I said as much and that it was a very strange time to be taking payment I was shrugged off, she took my card and then came back in the room with a receipt on a clipboard, she took the clip off of my right index finger, slid a pen into my hand and had me sign the receipt. My anxiety was through the roof and then they started the drip that knocked me out quickly. So I was sent into this surgery feeling SO uncomfortable and anxious. No one explained anything to me or tried to calm me down, just knocked me out as soon as they had the payment. It was such a terrible experience and seems so incredibly inappropriate to me but when I called to complain I was told that it was totally normal procedure. Apparently they have to take payment before hand because afterwards the patient is still too doped up to give proper consent to sign, which I totally understand. But why wasn't payment taken in the waiting room before I went in? There's no way they should be taking payment while I have an IV in. I write this in the hopes of preventing anyone from having the same awful experience that I did there. ESPECIALLY if you're a high anxiety patient like myself. read more

I can't talk abut the quality of the dental care but the office is not great. When my appointment was made, I asked that they get Xrays from my dentist. When I went in for the appointment, I was told I would need an Xray. I asked if my Xrays were collected and the receptionist said that yes but the Xrays needed were of a different kind that were taken. That surprised me. I was taken in by the dental assistant for the Xray and again I asked if they had received the Xrays and she said they had not. That bugged me because the receptionist lied to me. The dental assistant was nice enough to offer to defer my appointment till they got the Xrays. While I appreciate that I'm concerned about the level of organization at the office. IF they couldn't get my Xrays in time with nearly 1 week of notice, can I trust them to get the Oral Surgery right? Also it would have been okay if they had just told me that they had forgotten to get the XRays and apologized but the fact that the receptionist lied to me really bugged me and I decided not to work with them. Not cool to lie to patients. If you make a mistake, admit it and apologize. Everyone can understand that. I never got an apology for them wasting nearly 2 hours of my time to get to West Alaska from my place for nothing. Have better things to do with my time than be driving around. read more

I had to go in and get two wisdom teeth removed and I would recommend this office to anyone getting them removed 110%! The extraction went great and my nurse as well as Dr. Cottom explained exactly what was going to happen in multiple ways so I would know, answered common questions and any of my own. When the surgery was over I received detailed instructions as well as the doctors cell phone number incase of an emergency. Later that night I received a call from Dr. Cottom asking how I was feeling and Anaheim if I had any questions. After getting my teeth removed on Thursday I ended up in extreme pain on Saturday and called Dr. Cottom at 7am Sunday morning, he proceeded to drive to the office at that time and fix the problem right away, AT 7AM ON A SUNDAY. They have amazing care and continue to show it! Great place! read more
