Patten Family Dentistry: Dr. Jeffrey M. Patten DDS

Dr. Patten is a great professional and incredible with kids. Our 5-yo son loved Dr. Patten as his dentist since the first visit. Highly recommended!

Been my dentist for my entire time in Moscow. Extremely professional and friendly staff, with amazing service. Cleanings are quick and painless.

I am 67 years old and I have finally found the Best Dentist ever. Dr Patten cares about his patients. He provided such great and pain free care. His staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and answer any questions you might have.
I highly recommend this Doctor and Staff.

I have been in the office before for my daughters care and always been treated well. Dr Patten is great with communication, explanations and questions answered. I myself have not had any care for a long long time, and just had had a tooth pulled. Being that I have not been to a dentist in that long time I was nervous about it. The entire staff is very welcoming and treated me with nothing less than respect. The entire going to the dentist experience, starting with the waiting room, is quite pleasant here!

Not good at handling autistic kids.
The first appointment (cleaning) was fine. I had to stand at the front desk for 10 minutes, ringing the bell twice in that time for anyone to come. But the hygienist was accommodating and really nice to my autistic 4yo, allowing her to sit in my lap for her cleaning.
They found 2 cavities and I explained to them ahead of time that she has sensory issues and our last dentist had warned us she might need to be sedated for dental work.
They seemed to understand and I set up an appointment for her cavity fillings.
We got there today for that appointment and my daughter again refused to get in the chair by herself. They wouldn’t let me sit with her this time and couldn’t sedate her which I understand. I’m not upset about that. But the dentist was honestly rude saying he “didn’t have it in him to deal with it” and that we would just have to pay out of pocket for sedation elsewhere because no one who accepts Idaho Medicaid could/would do it.

We left and I found a dentist who accepted Medicaid, would accommodate her sensory needs, and could sedate her if needed within an hour.

If you’re not equipped to handle autistic children, maybe put in any amount of effort to find someone to refer them to. We will not be back.

I had such a pleasant experience at Patten Family Dentistry. Becky, my hygienist, treated my teeth very gently and was very thorough. Dr. Patten is a true professional who takes time to connect with his patients. I love this dental practice!

I went in for an extreme toothache on a day they were completely booked up. The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful as well as the entire staff. Dr. Patten quickly analyzed the problem and presented me with a my options to resolve the problem. The options presented were honest and straight forward and with my best interest in mind. Thanks to Dr. Patten and crew the problem was resolved quickly and effectively with minimal/no pain. I will definitely be going to Dr. Patten for all my future dental needs.

We (husband, self, and now two children) have been going to Patten since he took over for Dr. Loomis.
Dr Patten is enthusiastic about his profession, and wonderful at answering questions and gives great explanations. He has a good rapport with my teenage daughter, and I am starting my three year old daughter with him this fall. I feel his care is excellent and his staff has always been friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

After being extremely frustrated with a dentist in Pullman, I decided to switch to Dr. Patten and I couldn't be happier! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know you. He is also fantastic and patient with my young children and they love the balloon they get post visit! We also love the small town feeling of the office. Everyone knows who you and your family are. I recommend this place to everyone I meet!

Due to horrible and painful experiences with dentists as a child I developed a fear of going to the dentist. It was so bad that I had to have other family members take my kids in to the dentist for their appointments. The end of last year I started having some issues with my teeth (I hadn't seen a dentist, except to have 2 teeth removed, for about 14 years). Dr. Patten gave me an rx for some meds to help with my anxiety and we started on fixing my teeth. Luckily, I only needed 5 cavities filled and 2 wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Patten and the ladies in the office were really nice and very helpful with getting my teeth back on track. There was absolutely no judgment, lots of encouragement, and they made sure I was very comfortable through every visit. They listened to my concerns investigated any issues and checked my insurance for me and making payments has been so easy. This entire experience has really helped me work through my fears and now my kids are schedule for their appointments and I feel comfortable taking them in myself. I am very grateful to these people for helping me out and definitely recommend them.
