We took our son in to see her. She was happy to see him (he was under 2 y.o.) but ultimately was worried about doing the work he needed (he needed two teeth pulled and a cavity filled, the teeth were crumbling, and she was just concerned about medicines at his young age). Asked us to come back after having the work done, but we live in Tacoma and that's not going to happen.
She was just lovely. She has multiple air filters in her office and she doesn't work with the normal dental materials, so her office doesn't stink like dental offices often do. If I recall correctly, she makes her own things, doesn't send them out to a lab (like a crown), b/c they would all make them with weird materials.
For little ones, she splits the initial visit (if wanted) to 3 short visits. No extra cost (except for the gas, LOL). She did
not charge an arm and a leg, and his visit was covered as a preferred dental visit would be. I do not recall our dental insurance at the time.
She didn't care at all about fluoride, and DS even nursed while we were waiting in the chair in the working room, and no one batted an eye. The toothpaste she recommended for DS has enzymes from breastmilk in it. I mention those things just to show you how easy she is.
Adding to that, there's a yummy Mexican restaurant in the same "strip mall" she's in, which made at least one of those quick 3 visits even better.
If we lived in Seattle we would definitely go to her. Just not from Tacoma.
