West Seattle Dental Center

Wow, Dr. Luke Park is the best dentist I have ever had. His staff is also excellent as well. He is extremely professional and caring. Everything was explained to me as they were performing throughout the process and frequently checking in to see how I was doing.
I really appreciate how advanced in technology this office was, and definitely saved me from making multiple trips to the dentist. (I moved away from West Seattle, but will trek out of my way for good customer service!) I had a partial crown done, and everything was done in-​house, from the x-​ray to the molding of the crown. It was amazing to see the whole process from A to Z.
In addition to this, he called me personally after an appointment to check on me! He is truly amazing, and I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.

I’ve been seeing Dr Herrin for a couple years now and always thought he was great. Not real pleased with my «aging» smile, I talked to Dr Herrin about options. He and I agreed I would be a great candidate for veneers. I just completed the final stage a few days ago and could not be happier. Dr Herrin is AMAZING! The process was so easy and pleasant. He really is an artist!
I can’t stop smiling!

Dr. Hogan is the best dentist I have ever had. First thing you will notice is all the awards he has won for be involved in the industry/​community for so many years. His service and expertise are crazy good. He is very easy to talk to and really good at his job. I have seen a lot of dentists in my day but Dr. Hogan is the best. I would highly recommend him.

It was a big surprise walking into the West Seattle Dental Center. It feels good the minute you walk in. The reception staff is very friendly, but even more important, The Dr’s and technicians are excellent at what they do! Going to the dentist is always a discomforting experience — even for the routine stuff. As well, dental work in general is expensive. These folks work hard to make it as affordable as possible for those of you who may not have dental insurance. Dr. Saturay is very good at her profession and her charming personality can lighten up any stressful situation. My experience has been very, very good! I can’t speak for the other Dr’s but I sincerely recommend Dr. Saturay and her team!

My experience started here with just a routine teeth cleaning and check-​up. The exam room that I was in was FREEZING. Then I was told by Dr. Dunham that I «was going to pay the price for not flossing.» He found two cavities in the very back of my mouth.
When he filled my cavities, I was struggling to keep my mouth open wide enough (my mouth is really small,) and he was acting frustrated and annoyed, and never even offered me a bite rest, which seems like an obvious solution.
I had to go back 3 times to have my cavity adjusted and it still wasn’t right, my teeth were really sensitive, and my bite was off. He also didn’t offer me water or to rinse my mouth out after they grinded on my tooth and filled my mouth with dust.
I ended up getting an infection in one of the cavities, which required a root canal.
I will say that the front desk staff and hygenists at West Seattle Dental Center are very nice and helpful.

I’ve taken my 2 kids to this center for the past several years. I was made to feel a suspect parent by telling them I didn’t want x-​rays for my very young children and prefer not to use fluoride. Then my insurance changed and Dr. Saturay was the only one in the building accepting my new insurance. My wife and I both called her office several times and never got a return call. We even went into the office to try and schedule an appointment. Dr. Saturay’s office never called us back. I feel she may have been told by our previous dentists there that I am a «difficult» parent and so completely ignored our calls and requests for an appointment. While I’m disappointed with Dr. Saturay and having to find a new dentist farther from our house, our new dentist at «A Kid’s Place, Too» is great. Thanks Ms. Saturay.

Shawn Anderson, Dr. Saturay’s Dental Hygienist, is a charm. I’m new to the West Seattle Dental Center, and haven’t even met Dr. Saturay herself yet, but had a cleaning done by Shawn. I will be honest with you– he did make me cry. It had been a while since I had a thorough cleaning and I knew it had to be done right. He clearly does his job well and is truly passionate about dental hygiene too. He’ll explain his «routine» to you, which will feel like a homework assignment but I’m sure over time will become more natural. Thanks for welcoming me to West Seattle, you guys!

Dr. Saturay is one of the BEST dentists I’ve been too. She explains everything to you! She is so knowledgeable about dentistry. Makes you feel very comfortable! I trust her with all of my dental needs!!! I will not go anywhere else. Found my dentist after years of searching!!! Thank you. 10 stars!

We have had a huge variety of experiences with multiple dentists over the past few years; changes in insurance forcing us to switch dentists.
After much research we called Dr. Saturays office.
The terrific experience started immediately when we spoke with Teresa at the front desk.
My husband broke a crown and was leaving soon on international business. Even though we were new patients and had never been in, they got my husband in and his crown fixed in time for his trip.
My husband said he didn’t realize crowns were supposed to feel that good, his old crown was poorly done and Dr saturays fit perfectly.
A couple weeks later we went in as a family for our first visits and cleanings.
The great experience continued when we met Shawn the hygienist.
Never have I seen a more professional, pleasant, informed and fun hygienist.
Shawn did a fabulous job on the adults as well as making our teenage son feel more comfortable and calming our younger daughter.
When we left, our daughter said, «that wasn’t bad at all, that guy was awesome! You even get to choose your own music! «
Thanks Dr Saturay and Shawn!

I recently had my first dental appointment with Dr. Saturay. The great experience starts with her office manager Teri who is the most pleasant woman. She gave me a clear understanding of what to expect from a financial standpoint and went out of her way to make me feel welcomed. Dr. Saturay was just the same. I was having gum sensitivity, and she thoroughly explained all the possibilities and used a conservative before aggressive approach. The fam found their West Seattle dentist!
Quick update: My German Exchange student cracked his tooth, so we immediately contacted Dr. Saturay. Wow. She and her staff couldn’t be more accommodating. She thoroughly explained the options, the cost, and did everything she can to keep it affordable given that he is not fully insured for dental in the United States. We truly found a gem of a dentist, and I must give big kudos to her staff! Thank you! :)

I just tried to schedule an appointment with Dr. Saturay. I had a not so great experience with another dentist when I was at the same location last and just wanted to talk to her for a few minutes as part of my initial meeting with her. The office manager told me that I would have to schedule a different time to accomplish that and she didn’t want to have «90 minute meeting on the books and have me walk out». I told her that would not be the case, but it was important that I have a quick chat with a new dentist that I may have for years and years and if Dr. Saturay wasn’t willing do do that, I would need to probably see someone else. She said I should do that and quickly ended the call. I guess efficiency is a bit more important than listening to patients. She did call me back and left a message saying that there are certain protocols that need to be followed. This is definitely not a protocol I want to follow. I wonder how many other of these protocols they have. Dr. Saturay was booked out until June so I guess they don’t need any new patients.

Dr. Saturay is by far the most efficient, kind, considerate dentist I have been to. She explains everything in detail, listens to my concerns, offers options to ease my concerns and did exactly what I had expected… Although I dont think I can ever get past the cleaning procedure, its the nails on the chalk board sensation that kills it for me!
All in all, her, her assitant and the staff were great! I will definately be going back for my dental work!

If everyone took notes from Dr. Saturay, the world would be a better place, really. Every time I’ve met with Dr. S. and her staff, I’ve been inspired to be to be a better a person. They are friendly, personable and really have the patient’s best interest in mind. They walk you through every step and recommendation. Plus, they provide sun glasses and headphones to ensure you are comfortable! I’d also like to note I never felt ashamed as with some other practices. The principles Dr. S. and her practice run by should be applied to every business!

I’m came to see Dr. Saturay for a second opinion on a possible root canal. I was impressed from the moment I met her. She spent twice as long examining my teeth than the first dentist I went to and ultimately decided I did not need a root canal. She recommended a few things to try to alleviate the sensitivity in my tooth and it worked! I’m a total dental phobe but now have total faith that I’m in good hands with Dr. Saturay. Her hygienist is also a hoot! Super nice guy.

This is by far the best dental cleaning visit I have ever had in my life. I have healthy teeth and there’s never much to my visit. I’ve never had a bad experience but they were always mediocre, take it or leave it. Working with Sean, the dental hygienist under Dr. Saturay’s office, was a different story. He’s very easy-​going, pleasant to talk to, and superbly thorough in his work. He’s the first to properly teach me the most effective way to brush my mouth vs. just my teeth. He even suggested I bring my baby along in my future visits so she can be used to dental offices and see mommy have a good experience at the dentist’s. I highly recommend working with Sean.

Dr. Dunham is the bomb! His staff are wonderful and he really is a great guy and a superb dentist.
We’ve got the entire family going to him and are so grateful to have found such a fantastic dentist in the neighborhood. Cannot recommend high enough!

I’ve been going to Dr D for nearly 20 years. He is amazing! Kind, gentle and does excellent work. The office is clean, organized and friendly!

I have been so impressed with Dr. Kathleen Saturay and her crew. She is patient and understanding about my 4 year old daughter’s fears.
What’s impressed me most though, is the work she has done on me. I’ve been terrified of dentists ever since a bad experience when I was younger. Dr. Saturay has truly gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. She even gave me her personal cell phone number so I could call her on her day off if I was experiencing any pain after a root canal.
I can’t recommend her enough.

Last week I brought my 4 year old to Dr. Kathleen Saturay at West Seattle Dental Center and am very happy with her.
Everyone was friendly and patient. Dr. Saturay asked about our views on fluoride and sealants. It felt good to have my opinion taken into consideration. She also patiently answered all my questions. My daughter actually came home singing a song about how she got «shinny teeth from the dentist». I highly recommend Dr. Saturay.

I see Dr. Hogan at the West Seattle Dental Center.
Dr. Hogan and all of his staff are just wonderful! Always willing to listen and take care of issues… Great work, flexible, professional and pain free! They knew I was nervous about dentists… and really worked with me… gassed me up and gently worked on me.
Thank you so much for your wonderful work!
