Espresso Dental: Connie Manuel, DDS, MAGD

I do not recommend this place. I was quoted $120 for 10min job when making an appointment. I was charged $170 - 10% discount. No additional work has been done. It took 10min at most. Is it even legal? more

I've been seeing Dr. Manuel for 10 years and I have always had a great experience with her practice. Everyone there is friendly and helpful, and I have never had such gentle care. They do a great job of keeping track of my requests and preferences, and Dr. Manuel and her staff have inspired me to take much better care of my teeth over the years! more

I have been going to Connie for over 15 years. She has a very delicate touch no doubt learned from her years as a hygienist. She makes every procedure as painless as possible, unlike any other I've had. I used to dread going to the dentist (who doesn't), but her practice has made it almost festive. Okay, maybe not exactly a party, but at least I don't feel like I'm on my way to an execution. Seriously, she knows her stuff and is always interested in what is going on in my life. Besides, they have great espresso drinks and always fresh cookies. Who doesn't like that! Pros: very gentle more

I have been seeing Dr. Connie Manuel for 12 + years and highly recommend her practice to anyone. They are professional, prompt, have state of the art equipment like digital x-ray, water teeth cleaning, audio and video for those who like distraction during sessions, etc. They also emphasize preventative care and assist you in developing your own best home practices. Best of all, they put you at ease and make your dental experience almost enjoyable. Pros: Friendly & Professional Service Cons: None I can think of more

I have visited Dr. Manuel's practice for over 8 years after having neglected my teeth and gums for the previous 8 years. Dr. Manuel and staff did a great job getting my teeth and gums back into healthy condition with new fillings, root planing, a crown and lots of training on my home home care routine. The office is friendly and well equipped with new technology, and you are always offered TV, goggles and headphones while you're in the chair. I appreciate the fact that the staff takes extra time to educate patients on the best way to care for their teeth at home, and their lessons always stick. The overall experience is always so relaxing that I practically fall asleep in the chair, which says a lot when you consider the anxiety most people experience when at the dentist. It's like treating yourself to a good massage . . . except in this case it's your gums getting the rubbing. Pros: Always current on best practices and technology Cons: A 30-minute drive for me, but it's worth it more

I have had 'dental anxiety' all my life, and once I had insurance and could afford to have work done, I kept finding dentists who would nag me and make me feel ashamed. With Dr. Manuel, there was no nagging, no shame. She is kind and professional, and every single staff member is friendly and welcoming. The office is in an older home that has been rennovated in the Greenwood-Phinney neighborhood of Seattle, and it is charming. It is also across the street from Mill Burgers! Pros: All Female Staff, Espresso! Cons: The great cookies by the door more
