25 minutes late, should have called patient if running late or at least keep them informed in the waiting room, being proactive

Dr Worstman is the best dentist in town and her staff are equally as wonderful, go here if you want to feel cared about, treated kindly, and feel like you are one of the family.

I don't know anyone that truly loves going to the dentist, but after being a patient at North Seattle Dental for a couple years, I think I am very close to saying that. Everyone at North Seattle Dental is incredibly nice and easy to work with. They explain in clear terms what treatment they are providing you and make you feel comfortable throughout the entirety of your visit.

I no longer fear going to the dentist like I did as a child. Rather, I look forward to it because of the comfort and care the entire North Seattle Dental team provides. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent dentist- hands down the best in the Seattle area in my experience. I've been to at least four Seattle dentists (all with 5 star ratings) and North Seattle Dental takes the cake, no question. Extremely thorough, smart, and kind. I felt very listened-to while I was there and I could tell they truly had my best interests in mind. Very nice office and equipment too. I'll absolutely be making North Seattle Dental my permanent dentist. Highly recommended!

Dr Worstmann is truly the best: experienced, competent, patient, gentle, sweet, friendly, fun to talk to. The list could go on and on! My family and I have been patients of hers for 30 years and we would be devastated if we had to go see someone else. I try to recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dentist.

Everyone is always so welcoming and friendly! Dr. Worstman is amazing! She is so nice and does such a great job! I barely feel the injections she gives and she is great at checking in to make sure you are comfortable. I am one to usually experience some anxiety when going to the dentist, but they make it such a positive experience for me! I moved from the area, but it is still very much worth it for me to commute the hour it takes to get here.

Prompt, competent and tailored care at our first visit. Everyone was very kind and understandiing of my 95 year old father and our lack up advance paperwork completion.

I have been so nervous to make an appt with a new dentist, I've had bad experiences in the past and it has made me worried to try again. From the moment I walked in I was greeted warmly, Patricia did my X-rays and was so personable and professional. Dr. Worstham was my dentist and made me feel instantly comfortable, she has a thoughtful laid back presence that helped put me at ease. The scheduling was simple and efficient. I wish I would have found North Seattle Dental years ago, I can't wait to begin my dental plan!

Dr. Worstman is by far the most compassionate, caring and gentle dentist I have ever been treated by. As a person with PTSD who used to experience dentophobia I can attest that Dr. Worstman and her team go way above and beyond in ensuring a comfortable and pleasant experience. She has always taken great care of my family and friends I have sent over the years as well, and has helped them overcome their anxiety and achieve great dental health.

I did not have a good feeling about this place after my first visit. I felt that they were more concerned about getting me in for various procedures so they can bill my insurance rather than care for my oral health. I was a new patient last year and I went in for an exam and cleaning. I also had pain in my front teeth. The dentist examined, and stated that my bottom teeth were pushing against my front - he said he could fix that and started to use a harsh buffer on the back of my front teeth and buffed away tooth to relieve the pressure and pain.

He didn't ask or advise me what he was doing - just did it (his 'fix' was not included in insurance and I had to pay $100 out of pocket). He also wanted to know what type of insurance I had as needed to probably get braces to take care of the pain in the front teeth as they were out of alignment. He also stated that I needed to replace two teeth implants, and I needed fillings for two cavities.

They provided an estimate for the cavities and wanted to schedule a follow-up to talk about the other work I needed done. I went to another dentist and got a second opinion. Turns out I do not have any cavities and I do not need braces. The second opinion dentist recommended a mouth guard to help with the front teeth pain and also stated I just needed to replace the crowns on my implants. I'm glad I got a second opinion because I will not have to go through needless procedures that I will pay out of pocket for.

Just had my first visit there, and my first impression is beyond 5 stars. They're 100% pros. This office is legit. I've never felt so relaxed and well cared for at a dentist office. I'm 49 and wish I found this place 4 decades ago.

This dental office is friendly, comfortable, and modern. The dentists and their team are detail-oriented and thorough. The little touches made such a difference: the instruments and water are warmed, there are televisions and headphones for your personal use, and they even provide sunglasses to protect your eyes from the overhead lights during the procedures. I had a pleasant experience!

It was a pleasure visiting you recently and I appreciate your attention to all the ways you attended to your practice. The waiting room is a successful area for an entry. The staff is uniformly pleasant and attentive. I ask many questions and they are respectfully answered. Dr. Worstman is entirely professional and charming, a reassuring dentist to turn to.

I do have discomfort with the printed plan for future treatment and billing. Brandi patiently reviewed it all in a follow-up call. I continue to feel that the format and detailing needs improvement. These are my first experiences and I plan to return soon for my first care.
