Richard Coyner DDS, Family Dentistry

It's hard to leave a Dentist that does a good job. However, prior to last routine cleaning, I notified this doctors office that I had changed from employment provided insurance to Medicare (Regent) and provided the correct information prior to the appointment. After the cleaning, I received a bill for $450. Upon contacting the DDS office, they told me that they were out of network for my Medicare Insurance. OON pays only 50%. They also had charged me for a $90 fluoride treatment which I had declined. I spoke with the office manager to inquire and was credited the $90. When I inquired why they did not advise me that they were out of network prior to my appointment, I was told that they had 2,000 patients and just do not have the time to contact every one. I called back, cancelled my next appointment and asked for a records transfer form. The now very defensive office manager's comment was again, "I'm sorry you feel this way but we have over 2,000 patients".....blah, blah

Been coming here since I was child. Dr Coyner was my very first dentist experience in life and has always been my favorite dentist in all my travels. Glad to have landed back home and return to his office for my dental needs. I recently had some work done by his new partner Dr. Simpson, and he is also a gem in the dental game. Thanks for providing such a wonderful service to the people of Gig Harbor and surrounding areas.

Who else can say they actually enjoy going to the dentist? Dr. Coyner and staff make it so easy and fun. They are all so personable and take the time to get to know you. Seriously, all of them. I’ve been going there for about 18 years and can’t imagine going anywhere else. And....this is key to me...there is no pressure to have a bunch of work done. He will take the time to explain any issues, but in a matter of fact way - no drama. (I’ve been to drama dentists in the past and won’t do that again.) Cheers to everyone at Dr. Coyner’s office! Keep up the great work!!

Richard Coyner DDS, family dentistry has been a rock in the Gig Harbor area since he opened his door over 25 years ago. My family and I have been going to him and his team for all of our dental care since our children (now adults) had their first set of baby of teeth. We've watched him grow his practice and cultivated an incredible team that is well skilled, friendly, focused on the comfort of the patent and best of all he's technologically current on the latest advances in dental care (in my case.. that's an important qualifier). My experience firsthand and (even as an observer) has always been the same; whether it’s a technical procedure or a just a simple cleaning, Dr Coyner won't let you out the door without providing you an informed update on what will or what did take place and what you'll expect with any future visits. I have no qualms with giving him and his team 5 Stars and would without hesitation recommend him to anyone… especially anyone with a family! Ed Baker Milton, WA

Highly efficient, caring, intelligent. I have been going to him for years and he has done a terrific job. Thanks to him I believe my best feature is my smile.
