South Lake Union Dentist Office

Honestly I could go on and on about how amazing the service was at this location. I wish I remembered the girls name who assisted the doctor with the extraction because they were amazing!! Dr. Matt Ryskalczyk did a fantastic job on my extraction. I am definitely making this my primary dental office!

Very disappointed. The process was inefficient and a simple cleaning appointment took 90 minutes. I was asked to blindly provide my signature without seeing what I was signing. But the worst part was when I asked the dentist to avoid a sensitive area, they immediately started poking that area and only stopped after I cringed and turned away in pain and said no TWICE more. Then they said in a scolding/parental tone, “it’s not going to get better if you don’t let me do that” as though I was the problem by making their job inconvenient. It was an awful feeling to be disregarded and given no alternatives like numbing gel. It’s MY body, MY health, MY pain. I will not go back to a provider who doesn’t listen to me.

Usually have a pleasant experience at this dentists office, and have been going for 3 years. This time felt a bit impersonal and I had to wait in the chair for the dentist for at least 30 minutes after my hygienist was done (I could be exaggerating, but that’s what it felt like). The dentist didn’t acknowledge the wait in any way. I understand that things can’t always work like clockwork, so I don’t necessarily mind the waiting, but when she came in it would have been nice to acknowledge how long I’d be waiting, or to have someone poke their head in once or twice to check in while I was awaiting. This is unusual as they are usually quite efficient and friendly.

I recently had to have my wisdom teeth removed, a process I was very nervous about for a multitude of circumstances. I was so right to put my trust in everyone at South Lake Union Dentist Office. I cannot sing enough praise for every person I encountered from the very start; the friendly front desk staff, Dr. Ryskalczyk, Dr. Pedersen, every single member on the team who carried out the process while also thinking to get me blankets, make sure I’m comfortable, or provide a hand to hold. They walked me through every step of the process and were open and honest with me about the fears I had, both validating me while comforting me that they had complete control and confidence that everything would go smoothly. Not only were they emotionally and mentally supportive, they worked fast and extremely efficiently and had the procedure over quicker than I imagined it could be done. I’ve since been recovering quite nicely with no bruising and very little swelling. I’m absolutely thrilled I chose South Lake Union Dentist Office to get this dealt with. Their compassion, experience, and synergy transformed what could have been a stressful situation into a very positive experience that’s left me feeling confident and supported in a time when such care is so needed by everyone.

They have been awesome! Got everything from regular checkups to wisdom teeth extractions done here. Their online systems made it easy to schedule and fill out docs ahead of time. The only drawback is with finding parking, but it’s in a very walkable neighborhood. All in all, a great dentist office!

Went there for a one time appointment because I had to live in Seattle for a few months. After I got back home and went to my normal dentist, my dentist said they did a horrible job on my tooth filling. I was completely embarrassed and very upset. Now I have to re do the filling they did at south lake union dentist office. I wish I wouldn’t of gone here.

Not really time effective. They took close to 1.5 hours and still not able to complete the process

I used to go to this place for the cleaning and dental check for 2 years, and I recommend friends and colleagues here before I left Seattle. I heard a recent experience happened to my gf which makes me very disappointed and upset. The receptionist made my gf's appointment cancelled without any notification and what's worse, she didn't even mean to apologize for this frustrating customer experience. I would not recommend this place anymore.

Their staff was so kind and patient with me. I get bad anxiety for any kind of Dr. visit! Dr. Pedersen talked me through everything and was patient when answering my gazillion questions lol Homer too was great with me and had the same treatment towards me - kind & patient. I’m so glad I ended up here for my first dentist appointment in years! They really helped it go smooth and calmly for me. Thanks to everyone there! ♥️

Update: almost all of the staff seems to have turned over by now. None of the original dentists/techs/receptionists I loved are there anymore. The new dentists are overbooked or not as caring as the old staff. I'll be finding a new dentist office now that I'm not in the area anymore. Really great dentist office. Both me and my husband loved Dr. Andy and his team. I have really sensitive teeth so Dr. Andy really listened to me when I told him what hurt and he was extra gentle with me. He also was really funny and explained everything he did. You could tell his team all really loved working there. Definitely a great experience :)

my care from start to finish at SLUD was top-notch. it began out of necessity, with an emergency root canal. from that treatment, through crown, extraction + overall general care, their whole staff is so helpful and caring. the front desk team let me know about cost up front and they offer payment plans. love these folks.

I am so thankful I found this dentist office and Dr. Stephanie Pedersen. Dr. Pedersen is fantastic! She puts you at ease right away, is quick, kind and very good at what she does. Can't recommend her and this office enough!

Very good service!

I really like this dentist office a lot, everyone is really nice including my dentist Dr. Cheng. Much better experience here than my previous dentist.

Friendly staff, great experience. Best dentist I’ve been to.

Great service! Great experience! Get tooth cleaned real quickly.

Easy to schedule and the front desk staff are so helpful! Dr Cheng was friendly and informative. All staff make you a part of your care.

I think the Doctor Pham is experienced. I did the root canal, at the first time, he helped to check if I need root canal or other thing because my tooth was bad, and gave me sometime to see if medicine worked in my tooth. I recommend him for root canal. He also answered many questions from me.

Very quick and professional, everything was well explained and done with care

Great! Easy to schedule and super efficient, friendly and professional care! Thanks!
