Dr. Khan is the best Dentist everrrrrr. & I've seen my fair share of Dentist's! Dr. Khan is super smooth with the antiseptic, She's awesomely calm through the whole appt, & I love her vibe & energy. The employees are extremely nice! I love this place & I would give it one hundred billion stars if I could! So, if you need a new Dentist, give Dr. Khan a try, you will not be disappointed, &you will never go anywhere else. Much love & respect to Dr. Khan & her team!
I am a medical professional, we take care of others, but alot of us, myself included Do Not do well with shots/pain. I had my 1st visit with Bonnie who was just amazing. Being patient with me, keeping me calm. 2 days later Alejandro was also Great! Both very patient and kind. KUDOS!!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟!
PREDATORY, UNCOMPASSIONATE, UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I had a great experience with this office all until Kasia the Office Manager and Nicole the Administrative Assistant failed to do their job and decided to treat me like I was less than dirt over their mistakes. I have been paying on time for my treatment consistently for months until they changed the way they handle their check out process even after I had inquired MULTIPLE times about them not taking my payment just for them to drop a $2,000 bill in my lap on the last month of treatment. When I expressed concern for this as they know my current unfair loss of employment status they treated me as if I was the problem. I reached out via email to speak to upper managment which I was responded to stating "I have an outstanding balance" which is NOT what I was inquiring about in any way in my email. It's very obvious how little these two women care and how much of a nasty enviorment they have made it. Really sad I was treated this way as I originally only had glowing things to say about this place before having to encounter these women, everyone else seems better though. Dr. Khan is fantastic, she deserves better staff. 0/10
I’ll be honest—“root canal” isn’t something anyone looks forward to, but this experience completely changed my perspective. From the start, the anesthetic was administered so gently that it was virtually painless. The entire team made me feel at ease right away. Vanessa took the time to clearly explain every step beforehand, which really helped calm any nerves. Dr. Kahn and Vanessa both have an exceptional chairside manner—calm, reassuring, and very attentive. Throughout the procedure, they consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable, which I truly appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience, and I felt I was in very capable, caring hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone needing dental care.
I began as a new patient and was able to get in quickly. There was a nice comprehensive exam and the doctor was very personable and wasn’t pushy with things that she thinks that I needed. I also ended up getting Invisalign through South Sound Dental, the process was seamless and easy and I’m loving it.
