About Douglas J. Knight Orthodontics
Staff have stayed late for a missed ferry and Dr. Douglas J. Knight has come in after hours to fix a broken brace when needed.
Dr. Douglas J. Knight is described as skilled and thorough in explaining treatment options, and reviews frequently point to a willingness to go beyond normal hours for patients, from same-day emergency fixes to after-hours repairs. Families with kids in early treatment and teens in braces or Invisalign make up a good share of the feedback, with steady updates through multi-year bite corrections mentioned along the way. A few reviews note that limited office hours, including closing early on Wednesdays and being closed Fridays, made scheduling harder for busy families.

Dr. Knight is the most knowledgeable and kind orthodontist in the area. Thanks for taking such good care of my son.
Dr Knight and his staff are amazing! Beyond the general services provided, they are friendly and kind. My daughter had a unique experience with her orthodontic work. Her prior ortho died when she was nearly finished with her treatment. Dr. Knight was the only one we called who would even agree to see her. Not only did he see her but he suggested a great treatment plan with a manageable timeline and cost. We live on Vashon Island and one time my daughter missed the ferry to pick up her Invisalign trays. One of the staff members stayed late on a day when they were supposed to close early so that she could pick them up. This is above and beyond any expected service! I recommend Dr. Knight's office to anyone who asks!
As a dentist myself, Dr. Knight is the only orthodontist I would trust with my teeth! He is renowned in his field, and his expertise is unmatched. I have referred friends and family to see him as well after having such an amazing experience with his whole team. The front desk staff are organized and helpful, and his assistants are always on time, professional, and personable. You can tell when you walk into their office that their team enjoys working together and providing care for their patients. I can not recommend this office enough - you truly won't get better care than what you receive from Dr. Knight and his entire staff!
I had called 3 different orthodontists before getting an appointment here. They all said that they couldn’t guarantee to help me as I had work done in a different state and they did not work on other orthodontists work. I had nearly given up hope until i had called this place!!! The person on the phone was so kind, I went in already feeling good and hopeful. Everyone here was so kind, understanding, and amazing! They explained every step of every procedure and always checked in on me while working. Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had in a healthcare setting and I could not recommend this office enough!!!
I can not reccomend Douglas Knight’s office any higher. I just started my invisalign a month ago and so far I am very happy with the process. Everyone at the office is super friendly and very professional. They really make you feel at ease through the whole process and you can definitly see why they have a five star rating on google. Unrelated, but maybe related, as fellow business owner I always take note of the culture in offices and love seeing places like this where everyone truely appears to love being there and is passionate about what they do. When you have both happy clients and happy staff it really speaks volumes to me about how this business is run. Last note, I’ve never seen more then a 4-5m wait time in the lobby. I’m a bit ocd about being on time and I definitly appreciate it when that is a two way street.
