It was great! Dr. Bahl was great as usual and thoroughly explained my options for retainers. Her staff did a great job on explaining my new insurance benefits. All of that and a cleaning within one hour!

I had not been to a dentist in over 2 years and she was very understanding of my situation and didn't make me feel guilty but rather kindly offered her professional suggestions about my teeth. She explained all the processes and answered all my questions. She was so kind and I am definitely going back to her.

I feel better about my situation. She helped me understand my options and I didn't get beat up for not flossing. Cool high tech equipment I'd not seen before.

Ritu was so friendly and helpful! I really appreciated the way she presented her recommendations (including projections for how long each treatment should last/serve me), then let me consult with her office assistant about pricing and what my insurance would cover, before making any decisions - but without any wait time, as she then completed all the procedures I elected to do immediately. Thank you so much, Ritu!

My son needed emergency fillings on his front teeth while he was away at school at the University of Washington. Dr. Bahl and her office did an excellent job of taking care of him while I was another state away. He liked everything about his appointment and was very satisfied with the end result. I will have him get his 6 month cleaning done there before he comes home for the summer.
