Can’t believe I’m saying something good about a dentist, but best dentist and hygienist ever! Changed my life. I’m in my 50s and I’m talking better care of my teeth than I ever did, and somehow it’s because of them. They care, they teach, they do it right. I don’t care about the pretty new building. I’ll keep coming back for the skill.
I like these folks, real friendly and professional, but also family oriented and down to earth. I have experienced two hygienists, three dentists. The work seems very good from all. I recommend this group to everyone.
Each of my experiences have been tremendous. My cleaning, oral exam and redoing of 2 fillings were done perfectly. I was hesitant to go to the dentist after almost 2 years and some bad experiences but Dr.Derek and the wonderful hygenist and assistant made me feel comfortable and explained both what and why they were doing things. Definitely recommend!
I have been seeing Jared at Whidbey Dental Associates for a little over a year I believe and he is by far the best dentist I have ever had. I am a severely anxious person, specifically when it comes to medicine, doctors, etc. I recently had a wisdom teeth extraction where I was awake during the procedure and I was feeling extremely nervous but I was treated with so much kindness and empathy from Dr. Wirth and his dental hygienist. They both did their best to ease my worries and make me feel comfortable which I greatly appreciate. The new building they’ve moved to is also really nice and modern! I’m very thankful to have found this practice ☺️
