Dentists of Puyallup

I'm not a huge fan of the dentist, but the team here made me feel so welcome and at ease from the start! Checking in with Thuy was a breeze - she made sure to go over details of my appointment as well as get me scheduled for my 6 month cleaning. I then moved to x-rays with Chasity. One of their machines does a full rotation around your head which I had never had done at previous dental offices. This scan allowed me to see the full picture of my skull, which was a little creepy, but also super interesting! Dr. Lao completed the fillings I needed with help from Dental Assistant Valerie. They both checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was doing okay and even gave me some Vaseline for my lips so that they didn't get too dry. After that, I moved to my cleaning with their Hygienist Debbie. She was very thorough and made my teeth feel squeaky clean. Overall, a great experience from this office and I will definitely be coming back!

I had a great experience at Dentist of Puyallup. The clinic is clean and updated. Dr. Lao is very kind, patient, and encouraging throughout the process. The rest of staff from the front desk to the dental assistant know what they are doing and are very helpful. Tip: it is very cold in the clinic so make sure to dress warmer even on warm/hot days.

I've had a lot of dental problems over the years. I'm also hard to numb and have high anxiety when it comes to even going into an office. They were super understanding and did there best to make me comfortable. I'm sure I will never like going to the denest but they were great I'm definitely going back for future work.

All my experiences here have been great. I feel this team is slowly healing my past dental trauma. I had avoided the dentist for too long. I came here first for emergency dental work. The staff are friendly, caring, and informative. Dr McGriff is an amazing dentist. He is very observant of stress responses and adjust care accordingly. He’s friendly and humorous and uses music during work. He knows what he is doing beyond just the dental work.

My wife visited this office for routine care and was billed for a service that my family dentist said was completely unnecessary when she visited them at a later date. This completely unnecessary waste of time also ended up costing us an additional $600-700 dollars that insurance would not cover. Corporate offices like this are just in it for the money do not go here.
