Dr. Dunham is not my regular Dentist (so I really couldn't say anything about cost) and I can not say if it will be a complete success, as I have not been able to have any actual dental procedure. It was during the weekend, and Dr. Dunham was the on call dentist. I called to see if he could prescribe a different antibiotic, as I was not responding to the one I was on. He gave me his home phone number to call if things got worse on Saturday, and also to call him Saturday night to let him know how I was doing. Then on Sunday he called me to see how I was doing. I was so impressed with his concern enough to not only give me his number, but for Dr. Dunham to call me is something that you just don't expect to get, especially on a holiday weekend. I would highly recommend Dr. Dunham based on his sincere care.

I've always been a bit of a chicken, but Dr. Dunham has never hurt me in all the years I've been going to him. Dr. Dunham is a very caring person who listens to your input and keeps working until you are completely satisfied. The staff are all very close and it shows that they enjoy coming to work. They all support each other and the patients to make sure you are in and out without a lot of waiting time. I don't dread going to the dentist anymore.
The billing person understands all kinds of insurance plans and let's you know exactly what things are going to cost before they do a procedure. There are never any rude surprises.
About Hygienist: Mickey is my favorite Hygienist. She does an excellent job and has a lovely friendly manner.

Wow! As I am a very nervous person going to the dentist, I was really edgy when I arrived for my first exam. However, my worries were quickly put to rest! From the front desk staff, to my hygenist, to the fact that they do pain-free digital x-rays, to Dr. Dunham's confident reassurance that everything would be fine, it was by far what I would rate to be superior care. I was offered the opportunity to speak with someone about the costs of further work and they even submitted to my insurance agency for pre-approval. Dr. Dunham noticed that I am a "clencher" and adjusted one of my fillings that was built up too high by another provider, which completely alleviated the pain I'd been having in that tooth - at no cost to me! I'd recommend Dr. Dunham to anyone who is looking for a dentist who is personable, experienced, gentle and caring.
About Hygienist: My hygenist, Lisa, was filling in for someone on vacation, but she was equally wonderful. Great, thorough cleaning, carefully removed those horrible coffee stains between my teeth that other hygenists in the past have left. Took her time and made me feel comfortable and at ease. Super friendly!

Everyone at Dr. Dunham's office is wonderful. All of the assistants are fantastic. It's easy to get in to see Dr. Dunham if it's urgent, but you need to schedule out 30 days or more for cleaning (even though there are 3 people always there cleaning). I have been so impressed I have recommended him to family and friends to go there. Note, I've been on three different insurance plans over the years, but he has never been signed up for the insurance I had, so I've never gotten "in-network" rates.

Dr. Dunham was my dentist for most of my life, until I moved out of Seattle. He's an absolutely incredible and skilled dentist, and everyone I've ever met on his staff is terrific.
