Dr. Chi and his friendly, caring staff have provided me with excellent care over the last few months, as I've needed root canals and crowns. They have helped me navigate through a needle phobia in a way that no other dentist has in the past, and I no longer dread dental procedures. I recommend Alki Dental!

My wife and I are former patients of Alki Dental. Let me start by saying this is the worst experience we have ever had. The dentist first tried to tell my wife that she required a high-priced mouthwash that could only be purchased from their office, and that she had 14 cavities. We only saw 4, and agreed to have those filled accordingly, but the dentist proceeded to use a new (and more expensive) procedure to fill those cavities.
All 4 of those fillings fell out that same night of the procedure. My wife had to return to the office shortly thereafter for the cavities to be filled using the standard procedure, but during that visit the dentist pressured her to have all the remaining cavities filled immediately. My wife and I then sought a second opinion where it was revealed that none of the remaining alleged cavities she had were actually cavities.
My wife then refused to return to Alki Dental. In addition, this dentist office will not tell you if they are out of network with your insurance provider, as they definitely should tell you after they verify your benefits. They also have an incredible amount of turnover in that office, with several individuals being incapable of collecting my insurance information correctly if at all, then attempting to Bill the entire amount of a visit despite valid benefits.
This dentist is only out for money and doesn't care about customer service. Despite all this and no doubt because of the turnover, we continue to receive phone calls asking us to schedule our next visit. This office is full of incompetence and ignorance, starting with the dentist. Don't go here unless you're prepared to deal with all of the above. Looking forward to a form response from the dentist here.

**Zero stars** LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS This facility does nothing but scam patients, and their insurance. I was disgusted when I caught on to what Dr. Chi was doing. He does something called "DDS Success". Which if you haven't heard of it, is focused around hard selling patients. He will come up with a treatment plan for all these issues that you don't really have, and say that treatment needs to be done immediately.
If you don't agree after the initial treatment plan presentation, he will then repeat himself; only this time he will incorporate your health into it and make you feel as though it is detrimental to your overall well-being. If you cannot afford the treatment, he will then recommend you ask family, or take out a personal loan to pay for said treatment.
I once witnessed him scam an elderly woman with dementia. Having her write him a check for $20,000 for "future treatment". The employment turnover rate here is insane, but for good reason. Many walk out on the job. That's saying something. My heart hurts for the employees and patients. Don't ever allow someone to treat you this way, or take advantage of you. Run far away from this place.

I have been seeing Dr. Hanbit Chi for over three years, and every experience at Alki Dental all has been so positive. The place is always spotless, the staff super friendly and polite, and you can't beat the location, with gorgeous views straight across Puget sound to a cityscape. Dr. Chi is not only a really gifted dentist, but truly kind and respectful, and his associates are also really talented. You will not regret coming here for your dental needs!

0 stars was not a option. So I had to chose 1. Don't go to Alki Dental and here is why; I went in for a cleaning. They told me I needed $10k worth of dental work done. I thought to myself "what could I have done to my teeth in the last year that would cause all this dental work?" When I told the dentist I didn't have that kind of money. The dentist encouraged me to take a loan out to pay for all the urgent dental work while handing me the paperwork.
As well as, using scare tactics by pointing out a elderly customers whom just left his office. Saying "he didn't listen to me and now he is back a few months later with a lot more dental work!" Clearly break doctor-patient confidentiality. This felt very wrong. So I went back to my family dentist who I have known for the last 30 years. I told my family dentist and he was appalled. Requested the x-rays and dental treatment plan from Alki Dental.
Which they provided. He was shocked by what they recommended. He determined I only needed two new filling and a cleaning. Which cost me a total of $230. Not all the buildups, crowns and implants the Alki Dentist was trying to con me into getting. They have contact me several times after this telling me I need to come in for a cleaning. Every time I tell them I will never go there again because of them trying to scam me out of $10k. They continue to contact me sending me appointment reminders. So, I felt compelled to write a review exposing them for the scam artist they are.

Today was my second visit at Alki dental. Everyone here is very friendly and professional. I had a root canal procedure done and a crown put on that tooth about six months ago. They did great work and everything is going well with my teeth. Today I had a cleaning done. If you're looking for a new dentist I'd highly recommend that you check them out, I've been very pleased with my experience here.
