Silverdale Pediatric Dentistry

My family is third generation patients of Dr. Al-Agba. I went to Dr. Al-Agba as a teen and young adult; I took my children to Dr. Al-Agba and now my grandchildren go to Dr. Al-Agba. He has always been extremely professional with me, my family, and some of my friends who have taken their children to Dr. Al-Agba as well. I find some of the comments on here very disturbing and extremely inaccurate. I have been in town many years and for as long as I can remember, Dr. Al-Agba has been a doctor in this community. The doctor has never had any issues until recently when a mentally ill woman accused him of trying to kiss her at the office. Well, I am happy to say after speaking with Dr. Al-Agba during my granddaughter's recent well-child check-up, Dr. Al-Agba was cleared completely of all of the charges/accusations. I was not surprised at all to hear this news. \r \r I am sure if Dr. Al-Agba said a specific insurance company wasn't accepted any longer, then it is not accepted any longer. He did tell me they do not take Amerigroup insurance (which one of my grandchildren has.) That is a type of state welfare insurance and the doctor is required in all circumstances to bill regardless of whether he wants to or not. Otherwise it is fraud. Maybe that is the type of welfare insurance these people who made the comments below were on. This doctor has been there for my family many times when we really needed it, including when he was not in the office and had to meet us in the emergency room when my daughter was very sick. I highly recommend this doctor and Silverdale Pediatrics to anyone who truly cares for the wellbeing of their child. \r \r more

If you are looking for a doctor willing to take his/her time to answer questions and treat you respectfully, do not go to this doctor. We were told after one visit with him that he could not see our son anymore because we asked too many questions! For a well check-up that only lasted fifteen minutes after waiting an hour to see him. Not only that but he lied to us after he told us that he couldn't see our child, he told us ""Also, we are no longer taking your insurance."" Which is a lie. They had posters from our insurance all over the office and the receptionist took our insurance and said nothing. When i asked him how we would pay for our visit he said ""no charge."" Our insurance was billed, and his office still says they take our insurance if you call and ask. He did not know most of the answers to the questions about vaccinations. DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHILD AND VACCINES. \r He is not honest. He is currently being charged with sexual misconduct for kissing a patients mother, which papers say he denies. We originally dismissed it thinking, who knows what really happened. After being lied to us because he was too uncomfortable telling us that he couldn't see us because we took too much of him time, I have no doubt that he would lie about much larger issues. Bad doctor-do not recommend. more

DO NOT TRUST THIS DR OFFICE!!!!!! If you have a parenting plan that states that non emergency decisions are joint, they do not follow any of it and give you a lot of lip service to why. They never even contacted me to ask if they could see my daughter, their priority is to themselves not to their patients or to the families. more

Have you ever went somewhere you felt like family? This is the place. They are the only Bremerton/ Silverdale Pediatricians you should see. I can't tell you how nice it is to have doctors and their staff that say hi to my kids when we come to the office with a smile and often a warm hug. Unlike other pediatricians, my children enjoy the friendly staff, speedy service, yet attentive to my children's needs. The Al-Agba's have been members of this community for so long and understand how important our kids are to us. Anytime I call the office, I know I will get help right away and the staff notifies the doctor immediately. I'm glad they don't have a call center environment and it's clear my children are their priority. My family loves Silverdale Pediatrics and I would recommend them to anyone! more

Great Staff! more

I cannot believe how rude the office manager is. She treated me like complete garbage and basically threw my bill at me. She refused to see my daughter because I could only pay a small portion of a 200 dollar bill I owe. Which I have been religiously making been making payments on every month. The worst is she let me make the appointment just 2 hours before. She had papers ready and I believe that is the only reason she gave me the appointment. I decided to take my daughter to Urgent Care and left. When I called back I asked to speak to someone that was higher up than her. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR HER TO TREAT PEOPLE THAT WAY OH AND HEADS UP TO ME SHE IS THE DOCTORS WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SHE IS THE HIGHER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is very sad that she is around children. Doctors here are great Office Manager is the Devil! more

I have been taking my kids to see these doctors for years, and they are the best doctors that I have ever had the pleasure to take my children to. They listen intentely to my concerns, and treat me with respect, and they have never treated me as though I was beneath them....They have a wonderful office staff that is always courteous and pleasant, and they always make me feel welcome when I come through the door..The biller knows her stuff when it comes to the insurance, she is quick to answer any and all questions that I have regarding my bill...The receptionist is always friendly, and greets us with a smile...All I can say is..Kudos to the doctors for hiring such an amazing office staff... more

The doctors and MA are nice and friendly. A little bit of a misdiagnosis for what was ailing my son but not as severe as another review on this site. The office staff is horrendous. A bunch of biddies that have had the comfort of their jobs for far too long. Everytime I took my child in, they always made me feel unwelcome. They are rude and patronizing. I gave them a chance, but i just couldn't tolerate the bad attitude. There are plenty of doctor's offices out there. My advice to the docs, fire your billing and front desk staff. more

Our children are second generation Al-Agba patients. We've always been pleased with the quality and time given to us and our children for all visits. Anytime our children have come in for an illness, we've always been encouraged to call the office if we have further concerns or questions. In fact, the doctors even came back to the office, after hours, when one of our children was extremely ill. I don't think we could get this type of attentiveness elsewhere. We also appreciate that both doctors treat parents as intelligent people who are on the same level. When we have questions, the doctors always answer in great detail, provide diagrams, charts, and even have sent us home with the latest literature they've come across. Pros: Open Most Saturday Mornings, Attentive, Listens Well, Encourages Parent Questions, Good With Kids Cons: Closed on Thursdays more

Awesome doctor! Our first visit was 8/13/08 and I was very impressed. He listened attentively and was willing to do the tests my son needed because I was worried about him. He didn't discourage our natural treatment preferences and use of vitamins, he was willing to partner with us. He is going to help our son recover from autism! more

My family has been seeing doctor Al-Agba for over 20 years. Dr. Saad Al-Agba has seen all 3 of our children. This office is the safest office we have ever been to. The doctors are wonderful and will take care of your children to the best possible standards. I do not have anything bad to say about them, and sincerely doubt the judgment of anyone who does. If you have only seen a doctor for a week or so and feel the need to bash the doctor for your lack of responsibility there is no doubt in my mind that your serious lack of knowledge on the subject of taking care of a child came into play. Doctor Al-Agba is the best Pediatrician in the area and would refer him to anyone of my friends. more

Dr. Al-Agba is the pediatrician I took my FIVE MONTH old baby to. I took him to find out what was causing a rash he had, that started on his tummy, and spread to the rest of his body. It looked like pimples, white heads. They became bigger and nastier, looking identical to adolescent acne. Anyway, after examing these ""pimples"" Dr. Al-Agba told me that it was an alergic reaction, that was definitly not a food allergy. He told us to come home and give our baby 2 oatmeal baths daily, and it would go away. The next couple days, the symptoms worsened. One morning my baby was not acting himself. He was sluggish, and tired, and cranky. Normally a very cheerful, alert baby we were concerned. By evening he was full force angry if he was awake, which wasn't often. After checking his temperature, it was about 99.9 or so and continued to climb. We gave him baby Tylenol which helped a little, for a while. Then it went right back up, and got to 102.1. We took him to the Emergency Room. Short story long, we were admitted after 5 hours in the ER and spent 3 days in the NICU for a MRSA Staph infection. The ER doctor almost didn't see it, and not until we pointed out the area of concern did she investigate and discover what it was. Thanks to Dr. Al-Agba, and the ER doctor at Harrison Hospital my baby could have suffered MUCH worse effects. His entire leg swelled with in an hour or so of being admitted, and had to be drained of over two tablespoons of pus. Dr. Al-Agba missed that staph which is what the rash was originally. It could have been cured before it ever caused all the issues it did. Pros: None, not only was the Doctor who's been in the practice OVER TEN YEARS clueless, but his staff was rude and cold. Cons: Misdiagnosis, and dangerously so. more
