Oak Tree Dental Care

Friendly staff, good at handling insurance, and pleasant doc who is knowledgeable and proactive. more

I paid for a Root Canal and Crown less than 2 yrs ago, very expensive, almost 2 grand out of pocket with my "good" insurance..it was an EPIC FAIL! It is infected and causing me excruciating pain and now has to be extracted. I called today to see if they are liable at all and they had the attitude of nothing is a "sure thing" and have and hold no ethical or moral obligation to their work which I find disgusting and saddening, I would NEVER recommend this dental office of horrors to anyone, The dentist will get his in karma.... more

Good: Thorough and easy-going staff. Dr. Huynh was helpful in getting me invisalign treatment. The whole process was simple, painless and affordable. Michelle was instructive and attentive.. Improvements: evening appointments. more

I have not gone to see a dentist for years. I had a infected tooth removed, and I did not even feel the shot, He took the fear of dentist out of me. I definately come back for a new patient visit. Valentin more

I just wanted to say how awesome my visit was. I will always remember my first visit at Oak Tree Dental Care. I am not scared any more. Thank you so much, you guys are the best. Alana and Dr. Huynh did a wonder full job. Amanda more

I was worry about this office after these awful reviews, but my toothache was too much and no one else around the area would take me in same day emergency. I saw dr. Huynh, he took care of the problem and didn't hurt me at all. I would recommend them. I will see them back as a new patient. more

Good: I went back bc I heard that two new doctor's have taken over the practice. I had excellent treatment. The staff were all nice I had the best cleaning I have ever had and Dr Taba was very instructional and nice.. Bad: There was nothing I didn't like.. Improvements: They must have gotten rid of Sherri because she wasn't there. They have improved the look of the front office space and placed nice pictures up in chairside rooms. They also have digital x-rays which are much easier to take. I am a gagger.. Other: I would recommend Oak Tree dental to a friend or family member.. more

I had wonderful experience with this office. Staffs are very professional and friendly. more

I was very happy with the service I was provided on my root canal and I recommend these services highly. more

My daughter got braces at this facility. She loves the dentist and the staff is always friendly. We've never had any problems and our account has always been handled professionally. As a single father, I couldn't afford braces. The dentist put me on a payment plan that was affordable and my daughter loves me for it. more

He is the one you can trust. more

The new owner of the dental office, Michael T. Huynh, DDS, had extremely bad reputation. You can check his malpractice records at Washington State Dept. of Health website or Copy & Paste the following link: https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/ProviderDetail_1.aspx?CredentialIdnt=148560 more

They have a lady by the name of Sheri/Cherri working at the office. The most horrible lady ever, rude and unkind. Why is she working for this office. I won't go back. more

I have been going to this office for more than 5 years I believe. I have heard that recently (I'm not quite sure how recent) there had been changes in dentists and possibly owners. I'm sure other commenters here have more accurate details about that. I have ALWAYS had trouble with the billing practices here. Here are a few to illustrate: 1. I had double "Premera" dental coverage through the Marine Reserves and my other work employment. Through both I should have been completely covered and Oak Tree Dental was going to invoice them. Oak Tree could not get the invoicing straight and kept sending me bills for the work, so that I could pay them and my coverage could "reimburse" me. Through trying to work through this issue with Oak Tree, they told me that I was "no longer welcome at the office". I was floored at their incompetence in handling the billing and then their reaction to their mistakes. (I had moved overseas for a couple years, and when I came back I explained the situation to a new office manager, and they said they were fine with seeing me again.) 2. In 2006 I was told that I needed some major work done. I think it was called "scaling", where they go deep into your gum pockets. I was told that I was in serious risk for this to get drastically worse... The bill was going to be huge with my insurance paying most, and I was going to be out of pocket $400 or so. TWICE I had confirmed the pricing saying that I was not comfortable with paying more than that and they specifically confirmed that this was the cost. Immediately after the work they asked me for another $350. I was sore, shocked, and bordering irate. I asked how this could be and they said that they had "made a mistake earlier, and this is what the cost would be". I asked if there was a way to discuss this and come to an agreement, but they threatened if I did not pay it, it would be invoiced to me until eventually it went to collections. I begrudgingly paid. This had happened on 2 previous occasions. I'm a bit embarassed to say that the hygienists had been nice and I was pleased with the work done, but after reading through these similar experiences, it is clear to me to find a different dentist. Clearly not all dentist offices are this shady. more

When I tried this new place for my regular cleaning and check-up, they told me that I had 3 new cavities. I found that odd since I have only had one very small cavity before - ever. When I expressed my concern, I was made to feel like I didn't know my own body and that I needed these fillings right away. They sent me away with my "plan" for care - with several hundred dollars to be paid by me when the work was done since insurance only covers 80% of fillings. I couldn't shake the feeling that something just wasn't right. When I had been waiting in the lobby for my appointment, every person that came out (and there were a surprising large number for such a short period of time!) had to set up appointments for their "plan" for major work to be done. Lucky for me, a co-worker recommended that I get a second opinion from Dr. Larry Adatto. He found that I did not have ANY cavities! I have been going to him ever since and am thrilled with my experiences there (and how often can you say that about a dentist??). more

I ALSO TOOK MY CHILDREN TO THIS DENTIST OFFICE FOR A COUPLE VISITS BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION. THERE WAS UNNECESSARY WORK PERFORMED ON TEETH THAT WERE GOING TO FALL OUT IN A COUPLE MONTHS AND THEY TRIED TO GET US TO DO MORE. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION - REFERRED TO DR SMUTKA IN SAND POINT (BY SOMEONE IN THE OFFICE AT OAK TREE). WE HAVE BEEN WITH SMUTKA EVER SINCE AND ARE DELIGHTED WITH HIS WORK. I WOULD NEVER REFER ANYONE OR EVER GO TO OAK TREE FAMILY DENTAL CARE. more

We spent all of 30 mins in the chair and it cost us $450 to extract an already loose baby tooth. It was causing some pain and made it hard to eat, so they recommended pulling it. My mistake... not asking what the fee was. I'm sure they count on this oversight greatly. I never dreamed they would charge such an outrageous fee. This amount has made our Tooth Fairy very unhappy, but she came just the same. Guess this dental practice has their own Tooth Fairy... and she's very greedy. more

Their #1 priority here is FINANCIAL...meaning they will try their best to push recommendations, that when you go elsewhere, other dentists would say is completely unnecessary. They also scheduled me a for a specific time and date and even left a voice mail confirming this time...then I show up and they tell me it's actually an hour later. I was annoyed and did not come back because it was their mistake...lo and behold I receive a bill in the mail for $200+ for MISSING the appointment, when they were the ones who actually scheduled me incorrectly and EVEN LEFT A VOICE MAIL of this time. Furthermore, they make it extremely difficult for you after that to get your services done elsewhere--I can only get one xray a year from my insurance, and they had all those records--when I tried to get them to fax the results of that xray (MY RECORDS) to another dentist, they intentionally made the xray look difficult to read (shoddy copies) and this is highly convenient for them with their "cutting-edge" software. All I have to say, is, thanks to them, I am waiting for my policy year to end so that I can finally start fresh and see a decent dentist. more

I had a cleaning at Oaktree Family Dental in Oct 06, they charged ny deductable twice. After I explained this problem to them, they blamed my insurance company Wa. Dental. I contacted Wa Dental, who said it was Oaktree's fault. This finger pointing has been going on for 7 months, to date without resovle. As a final act, I have been referred to the Wa Dental quality assurance commission. The bottom line, both Oaktree and Wa Dental are poorly managed. I also agree with the other complaints about Oaktree forcing deveral procedures and or products on you. None the less my hygenist is very good, and it a shame she has to work for such a horrible dentist office. more
