I"m really unhappy with the way I was treated by Doctor Lin. I'm a fearful patient that gets panic attacks .I told them this & requested nitrous witch has helped me in the past.Doctor Lin did not listen to me or care about my fears.I was given a minimal amount of gas.I was getting a tooth pulled & very nervous to even just get shots.After the doctor numbed me up with 5 shots I told him of my discomfort he told I could leave if I wanted.At this point I just wanted my tooth out so I could get out of there.The office staff was great but this Doctor Brian lin is nobody I would ever

Going here was my first attempt at finding a Seattle dentist and unfortunately it did not go well. The staff was nice but I was immediately told I had a cavity and needed a filling (I never get cavities!! I work hard to have perfect teeth and have had pleasant experiences with all my past dentists) They said they had time to do it right then and there (also odd). I already deal with anxiety and was trying to stay calm so I figured I'd better get it over with. As she gave me the numbing shot in the mouth, I couldn't handle it and started sobbing. She asked me why I was crying. I said I

I am a long time patient of Dr. Fukuda. Her practice is very well managed. I appreciate her efforts to hire a diverse and skilled staff. The care provided is always outstanding.On my first post Covid visit, I was pleased to see a reduction in the amount of UW Husky sports memorabilia in the exam rooms. Fewer decorative items increased my confidence that the office is clean and as sterile as possible.

After trying several other dentists in the area in my first five years in Seattle I have happily settled here. The cleaning is through and the dentist takes time to answer my questions. Since coming here I have had three kids and I bring them here as well. They do an awesome job with the kids and are really on top of it in alerting us that my oldest will need braces and to start researching that sooner than later along with several recommendations. While we have now moved, we continue to drive here as it is worth it.

I tried to love Dr. Fukuda's office. Really I did. For 20 years I tried to love them. Dr. Fukuda and her staff are professional and do a fine job and I am sure that I always received good dental care from them.
I never had a very pleasant teeth cleaning there and considered cleanings something to get through. I once had a VERY bad experience there with a cleaning once (they used the sonic tool on me and I developed tooth sensitivity). Dr. Fukuda made it right by giving me a free fluoride treatment which fixed the sensitivity.
The decor through office is dated and you'd better be

These people are highly experienced and competent, and lower priced than the downtown dentist I used before. They are super-busy because their reputation among patients, mostly built through word of mouth, is extremely high.
They are very sensitive at handling pain, giving just enough anesthetic to dull the pain without disabling the patient's mouth for the rest of the day.
Highly recommended!

I had a dental emergency (wisdom tooth decay) just before the 4th of July and I had called up Dr.Fukuda's office to get help. The receptionist on the phone was extremely helpful and immediately recommended a course of anti-biotics and pain killers.
By the night of the 4th it was obvious to me that the pain wont go away and situation was becoming worse. I called up the doctor first thing in the morning on 5th. The doctors office worked quickly to find me a dental surgeon who would remove my bad teeth on the same day! They also sent my case documents, medical history and Insurance details

I had always dreaded seeing a dentist until several years ago when I wandered into Dr. Fukuda's office. I have been coming to her office for dental care ever since that day and have NEVER regretted coming here for any reason whatsoever. Dr. Fukuda and her staff readily put you at ease at every visit regardless of the procedure or reason for the appointment, explaining dental care needs and procedures carefully and thoroughly. They are very clear communicating all available options and treatment needs. Her referrals for orthodontics and maxilofacial (implants) procedures put me into the best

Billing and Insurance here was a NIGHTMARE
I had gone here twice, and suggested my wife go here as well, since it was close to our apartment.
She went here in early April for a routine exam. We got married 1 month later in May. In July (3 months later) she finished the forms for changing the name on her SS card, license, and her insurance at work. Prior to mid July, she was still under her old name.
We were surprised when Linda Fukuda's office called her in August complaining they had billing problems for an exam we had in April (4 months prior). They made it sound like it was our problem

I guess if you're a Husky fan this office would be fine. To me it seemed like a hoarders' paradise. I can't say it isn't clean, it just doesn't feel clean. Cluttered and small.
The front desk folks are niiice, but are casual with billing details and HPPA regulations. Their Prosthdontics are very expensive and cheaply made.

FINALLY found a great dentist. I have a moderate amount of fear regarding dental procedures (in fact, this led to a few years of my early 20's when I didn't have any dental care at all). A friend recommended Dr. Fukuda, and I've now been seeing her for several years, and it's as wonderful as a dentist visit can be.
Everyone is very friendly. They absolutely listen to me and my needs/concerns. The hygienists are great, too. I also love that the scheduling office makes an effort to always schedule you with the same hygienist at each appointment. This has been a wonderful bonus

It took me years and years to find a dental office I trust and love. Dr. Fukuda is great, and takes time to do a thorough job and identify and solve problems. The real experience for me is how comfortable I am during the cleaning. Marsha the hygienist is the most gentle and compassionate hygienist I have ever had.
I agree the decor is very 1991, with dusty sports memorabilia everywhere, but I have had a better experience here than I've ever had in any gleaming modern office.

I've now been to Dr. Fukuda three times, and each time I've had an excellent experience.
- Hygienists were extraordinarily friendly, efficient and intelligent. One gave me a detailed audit of the things she was looking for as she cleaned, which gave me a much better understanding of how the various facets of personal dental care contribute to holistic dental health. As someone who loves learning, I appreciated the gesture, particularly because she didn't commit the cardinal sin of asking me a nonstop string of questions while her hands were in my mouth.
- Appointments were on time
