2010 Top Dentists
321 practitioners in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.
TO CREATE OUR 2010 LIST, Seattle Metropolitan partnered with national survey company TopDentists LLC, which sent ballots to all dentists listed online with the American Dental Association and other local dental societies in King, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties, asking, “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?” Presented with the names of nearby practitioners and the opportunity to write in nominations, each general dentist evaluated specialists and each specialist evaluated general dentists whose work she or he is familiar with based on years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and of course physical results. Dentists with the highest average ratings were vetted for active licenses and good standing with the Washington State Department of Health before being selected for the final list. Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. Our dentists self-reported whether or not they provide cosmetic dentistry services.

I’m not sure, even after reading “how” you compiled this list of “top dentists”. I have been to 4 of the pediatric dentists on your list and there offices were very low class. Dirty, awful staff, obnoxious atmosphere. I was shocked to see some of the names on there. Do these dentists “contribute” a certain amount of money to the magazine? and then end up on the list? If so maybe they should take some of that cash and buy equipment that works, carpets that don’t have blood stains on them, and a staff who actually cares. I take my kids to Dr. Buda near Southcenter Mall and would never go any where else. He is by far number one in the area.
This is right up there on the worst-designed on-line lists for anything. You don’t even have a search tool to quickly find a dentist you know the name of – to see if he/she is on the list. I’m not surprised that there could be some real losers on this list if it comes from dentists referring each other.
My dentist definitely belongs on this list. Ava, if you’ve had a bad experience at your dentist’s office, try Dr. Petrich in Tukwila. His office is far from “Dirty” and the atmosphere is very pleasant. He’s really nice and you even get to choose and watch a DVD while your teeth are being worked on.
I just purchased your February, 2010 issue excited by the headlines: Top Dentists. I am desirous of having porcelain veneers in the next couple of months and I thought this might help narrow my search. Of course, just like most everyone else, you think there is no civilized life here on the Kitsap Peninsula. I even did as you instructed at the close of your article (to find more top dentists in KITSAP, Snohomish and Pierce counties got to seattlemet.com keyword:dentist 2010) and never was able to find any dentists other than those in Seattle or Bellevue and one in Tacoma. Did I miss something???
Please let me know. Thanks very much.
In response to Marcy’s comment: The list includes an orthodontist and general dentist from Marysville; two general dentists, an endodontist and an orthodontist from Bremerton; from Arlington an orthodontist, general dentist, and pediatric dentist; from Port Orchard a periodontist and oral & maxillofacial surgeon; two orthodontists and a periodontist from Silverdale; from Poulsbo an oral & maxillofacial surgeon; from Enumclaw three general dentists; a general dentist from Puyallup; and from Tacoma a periodontist and a prosthodontist.
Hey people, Stephanie Su is the best doctor in the whol world. My children go there and they always come back with a prize and a fun reward! Go there now! BTW no bloodstains and is very sanitary!
I am surprised by this list. Dr Keerti (general/cosmetic dentist) and Dr Young (orthodontist) definitely belong in the list! Both of them are awesome! Dr Keerti offers sedation dentistry and TMJ expertise besides cosmetic dentistry. Her office, skills and staff are amazing! Dr Young is a fantastic orthodontist whose staff is great with patients!
