out of Read Reviews for Dr. Charles Wallace
He is top rate. He has earned the posh facilities they now use. The tools and chairs are modern and he uses only the best hygienists. He truly cares about his patients. He demonstrates sincere care for their oral health and not gouging their pocket book. He has done five crowns for me. This site does not allow me to rate cost as a 4 as in "5 Stars", but his prices are competitive.
About Hygienist: I love all of the hygienists he has ever had. They have all been gentle, caring and pleasant.

I saw Dr. Wallace after my old dentist retired. He did a comprehensive exam, found some areas that needed work (that may have been overlooked by my previous dentist), recommended some specific treatment that needed to be done by an expert and referred me to the expert who did the work in a very acceptable manner. Although I have been Dr. Wallace's patient for only a short time I am very comfortable with the way I was treated and my comfort level in him is quite high.

Dr. Wallace has been my dentist since I moved to Seattle 3 years ago. I have had extensive dental work, including crowns and fillings. I also have trouble with my bite (teeth alignment) and Dr. Wallace has patiently and extensively worked with me to improve my bite. He always takes time with me, answering all my questions and openly providing his advice. His work is impeccable. For example, he very carefully picks the color of crowns, and asks for your input, so the crown color matches your other teeth. I am very comfortable following his recommendations, because he has demonstrated his expertise and yet always realizes that cost is a consideration. He would not recommend an expensive procedure if he did not think it was absolutely necessary. He has a calming effect on me, even when he is telling me bad news about a tooth. He is skilled in administering novacaine, so I do not feel pain during procedures (if I do feel a twinge, he notices even the smallest flinch, and asks me if I am ok or if I need more novacaine). Cost is reasonable for the expertise he provides, and they will allow payment by installments if necessary. The office is state of the art.
About Hygienist: All of Dr. Wallace's staff (hygienists, assistants, receptionists) are very friendly and genuinely interested in making sure the experience is as pleasant as possible. The hygienists do not make you feel bad about neglecting to floss, or neglecting to have regular cleanings. The cleanings are thorough but gentle. If you have sensitive spots on your teeth, the hygienists will not persist in picking at them. I hate cleanings, but the hygienists at Dr. Wallace's office make them tolerable. I trust the expertise of everyone who works at Dr. Wallace's office.

I've seen Dr. Wallace for years and can highly recommend him. He's practical, capable, and friendly. Before that, I saw his partner, Dr. Solhaug, who has since retired. His daughter (Dr. Solhaug) is the other dentist in this practice. I've had minimal contact with her but have heard good things from others in my family. I really like this practice. The staff is friendly, the office is plush. (They moved into new digs recently...a definite step up!) I especially like Terri, the dental hygenist. She's funny and warm and knows her stuff. She's been with the practice for 20 years or so! She's great with my five-year-old daughter, who (gasp) *loves* to go to the dentist. :-)

Great for the whole family. I often am able to get appointments for both kids and myself--and frequently on a Saturday morning! Excellent hygiene staff, and partner Carol Solhaug is wonderfully professional as well.

He's the best dentist I've been to, and didn't try to sell me dental work I did not need. It was a refreshing change.
