I was a happy customer for about 3 years here, but I have recently decided to move on because of changes I noticed in my and my husband’s latest appointments. The cleaning was no longer done by a dental hygienist at my last appointment, which was a less friendly experience than my past appointments, and the dentist was very quick to say that some old fillings of mine needed to be replaced. When my husband had a similar experience at his next appointment (he was informed he needed some new cavities filled and they suggested a deep clean of his gums) I decided he should seek a second opinion. The dentist he visited for the second opinion said it would have been a mistake to do fillings at this point, and they also spotted a problem with his bite that had been missed. I’m not sure why things changed, but given this experience I don’t have the same confidence in the advice I am receiving at Healthy Smiles anymore. - Allison Keane Barr

Healthy Smiles by Dr. Saturay Introduce

Welcome to Healthy Smiles by Dr. Saturay, a Dental Clinic located at 3222 California Ave SW SW in Seattle, Washington, specifically in the West Seattle area. Reviews regarding this clinic offer distinctly different perspectives on the patient experience.

One long-term patient, who has been going to Healthy Smiles by Dr. Saturay for several years, described it as an "outstanding dental operation in West Seattle." They praised the "utmost professionalism," the "very friendly" and "expert doctors and hygienist," and the environment that alleviates dental anxiety, calling it "the best dentist office I’ve ever been to." This patient was so satisfied that they continue to use the clinic even after moving to Virginia, highlighting their excellence. They also commended Junior at reception for accommodating them on a busy schedule during a visit to town and strongly recommended the clinic to everyone.

Conversely, another patient who had been visiting the clinic for many years experienced a significant negative interaction with a hygienist after a break in regular cleanings due to pandemic and family care issues. While this patient initially liked the office enough to bring their daughter, their experience with the hygienist was "so, so much worse than I was prepared for." They recounted a confusing conversation about a "deep clean," unclear explanations about potential bone loss, and a prolonged measuring process with apparent errors. Throughout the appointment, the hygienist repeatedly laughed condescendingly about the lapse in cleanings, causing the patient to feel overwhelmed with shame. As a result of this experience, the patient cancelled their follow-up appointments and switched their entire family to a different dentist seeking a kinder and more communicative approach.

Based on these contrasting reviews, local users considering Healthy Smiles by Dr. Saturay should be aware of the potential for both highly positive and significantly negative experiences. While some patients have found the clinic to be outstanding with professional, friendly, and expert care, others have encountered unprofessional and shaming behavior from at least one member of the hygiene staff. The stark difference in these accounts suggests a possible inconsistency in patient care. Potential patients may want to consider these differing experiences when making their decision. No specific details about the clinic's environment beyond being generally comfortable according to one reviewer, the comprehensive list of services offered, or any current promotional information can be reliably ascertained from these reviews.
