The BBB does not accept complaints regarding the "ability" of a dentist / doctor, so the best thing to do is type my review of this practice. I had an excellent dentist in the Bellevue area, but I decided to switch because this practice is advertised as holistic and mercury free in the PCC monthly newsletter.
If I could give -1000 stars to this dentist I would. He might be personable and nice, but that is not enough to keep you and your mouth healthy. I came to this dentist with perfect health and his inability to prevent / clean teeth cost me over 10K to restore my teeth health due to his negligence. He did my routine twice a year cleanings. While in his care, and after having my regular cleanings, I made appointments (yes multiple) and explained that a tooth bothered me. He told me that it was nothing, and each time he saw me was 251.00 dollars. He did not do anything but said that it was nothing. Well that "nothing" was a dangerous and fatal tooth infection. It took so long after I told him that that tooth bothered me that probably a little preventable cavity evolved to be a horrible tooth infection. Let me be clear, it took several months.
How does a person get to this point after having excellent dental care and cleanings every 6 months? Well, by switching to this dentist practice.
As a result I had to have extensive and very expensive number of procedures done, over 10K, and of course not by this dentist. Never, ever. I had everything done by professionals.
If you are looking for a mercury free dentist, simply go to a reputable dentist (or stay with your dentist if you are happy) and ask them not to use mercury fillings, but really that is outdated and no one uses mercury anymore. Save yourself and don't switch to this dentist.
