Yakima Family Dental

Experiencia negativa: Run away go elsewhere

Experiencia fantástica: I get cleanings, and exams here and it was the first time I’ve had any further work done (three fillings in one visit) and they managed to get the fillings in the same visit as the perio chart, and cleaning which was beyond amazing because I live in ellensburg, and I can’t drive, so this was so convenient. Today I told the dentist (I’m sorry I can’t remember anyone’s name but I think it is Dr. Lewis? Louis?) that I’m autistic, to give him a heads up that I’m really anxious and have sensory issues. I’m disabled because of autism, so dentist work has caused me meltdowns later or shut downs, but today I had none of that because the Dr. and his hygienists were so patient. I don’t ever expect royal carpet treatment or have unrealistic expectations, or demand any treatment, but just hoping I don’t annoy or bother anyone because of my anxiety. The team being so kind and joking with me, just being generally warm and friendly, prevented a shutdown/meltdown or panic attack. For an autistic woman, this is a huge deal. I cried in the car after the visit because I felt like I wasn’t a burden or difficult. The receptionists are always so sweet, too. In general, Apple valley is amazing, including ortho Dr Z and his team, too. THANK YOU Yakima family dental!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Experiencia negativa: Me siento decepcionado se supone que iba por una limpieza y pague cerca de 235 dolares y cuando me atendieron dijeron que no me harían la limpieza ese día y que solo me arian unas radiografías y me revisarian los dientes para después decirme que sería una limpieza profunda y que sería otro costo, regrese a mi casa sin 235 dolares y sin mi limpieza dental, no puede ser

Experiencia fantástica: I have bad dental anxiety and they were very understanding and patient. They explained everything they did and gave any accommodations they could. Very nice staff

Experiencia fantástica: I had not been to the dentist n many years. They made me feel at home and were the kindest, most reassuring individual I have ever been around in a patient settings. They were able to get me in the day I called, do an extraction and the follow up has been beyond anything’ I expected. I have quite A bit more to do but the staff s so positive and kind I have no worries. If you are putting off dental work because it’s been a while and your embarrassed or whatever don’t, the dentist there have one goal and that is to provide excellent dental care no matter what life has thrown your way.

Experiencia fantástica: just had three fillings. itzel was very kind and so was dr. lewis! i didn’t catch the other doctors name that gave the local anesthetic or the assistant(?) but they were very kind too! thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: This was by far the best experience I've ever had at the dentist. I was so nervous and they made me feel so comfortable. I had all of my teeth pulled top and bottom and it only took like 30 min. I will never go anywhere else. The dentist is so nice and he asks you every few min if your ok. I highly recommend you make your next appt here! They never judged me once and that is a huge because it's hard to find a dentist that doesn't judge you.

Experiencia negativa: Had a deep cleaning appointment for 3:30 Thursday. I get a reminder call and need to confirm today\ Wed at 9:41am. Then get a call at 12:21pm that my appointment been cancel. Problem is, I go to bed about 7:00am to 8:00am. So I was a sleep when Yakima Valley Dental called and left a message! Only had a 2 hours and 40 min window to call back! Why can't these reminder calls be place 2 days before appointment so a person has enough time to call back??? Off to find a dental service that handles these confirm appointments better. Had same problem with previous dental place canceling my cleaning appointments. GRRR Been over a year now, waiting get my teeth cleaned :( I did get a filling done Tuesday that went well. Told receptionist, see ya Thursday.

Experiencia fantástica: I went in today for an exposure and Bonding procedure to remove my impacted canine to bring down my adult one down. they were really quick I was put to sleep in less than a minute. it was done in about 30-40 minutes. thanks you for my new smile that will come together.

Experiencia negativa: Edit: after recent Medicaid cuts the clinic straight up abandoned all Medicaid patients, and there’s nowhere to go—this is mostly the system being awful, but regardless, I’m never coming back here again in the future. These people are awful. I can never get through when calling, they never return voicemails, wait times are months out, and 2 weeks before my appointment they moved me back by ANOTHER MONTH, because "The dentist won't be in that day." So appointment dates are meaningless. I don't know how the actual service is, I can't even get in. They like to play games with people to where it's nearly impossible to actually get an appointment. Don't waste time trying to do business here if you can help it.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Flinkman was awesome. Answered all my questions and concerns. His assistant Yaritza was great as well. Thanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Flinkman is the best Dr ever!! he always goes above and beyond on helping others. Recommend him if your looking for a new dentist :)!

Experiencia fantástica: Find everything right away

Experiencia fantástica: Love ❤️ this place. Very friendly staff. They did an excellent job on my upper denture.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is fantastic!! Such speed and grace Dr.Paul Hsiao has it’s a sight to behold he’s simply a magician 10/10 would 100% recommend this place!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Had all teeth removed within 30 minutes, even impacted ones due to mild hyperdonta. Extractions and dentures are covered by CHPW/Apple Health/Molina. Would highly recommend, will update experience after receiving dentures. (Originally came in for a consult, got removal same day.)

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience fast and professional

Experiencia negativa: I came in to get a consultation and dr.Paul Hsiao wouldn’t even come in and speak with me just refused to help me in anyway. Extremely pour bedside manner.

Experiencia fantástica: My first apt was at their other location, they made me feel not so great. At this location tho I had an great experience and I'm excited to come back!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lewis is great! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is really friendly, I've only ever had good experiences here

Experiencia negativa: Never answer phone. Have been on hold for more then 45 minutes

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing patient care! Rachel is a one of a kind talent and a great dental professional. Thank you for creating a great environment

Experiencia fantástica: I had a good experience. Casey the dental assistant was very kind, polite & explained everything very well. Doctor was also very informative and provided me with all the answers to my questions. He was very nice and professional. Front desk was also very attentive and friendly. Thank you!

Experiencia negativa: Honest waste of time. Traveled an hour and half to see a Dr for 30seconds that didn’t even introduce himself.

Experiencia positiva: ALRIGHT

Experiencia fantástica: No complaints! Great customer service, friendly staff, and really quick thorough appointments.

Experiencia negativa: Bad costumer service. When I need to call to make appointment no one answers. I went in a few weeks ago for a fill tooth hurts and jaw hurts. While getting my tooth fixed I just heard the assistant and dentist talking about a boyfriend in front of me I don’t really need to hear personal life I think they need to fix that about front desk to answer phone calls and the assistant and maybe other that work there not talk about personal things in front of others.

Experiencia fantástica: Love coming to this Location for the kids rather than location on Nobhill dentists here have more patience with children and more accurate dental work and actually take there time overall pleased:)

Experiencia negativa: There’s only one doctor who didn’t make me feel bad about my teeth and that’s about it. A few of the nurses have made comments about me not making appointments when I should. My son just had a doctor roll his eyes and be rude to him because he was crying. He had missed his nap. Still, even if my 2 year old was crying does not give anyone the right to roll their eyes and make snotty remarks towards my son. Will not be going back. I already have stress about going to the dentist, and they just make it worse.

Experiencia negativa: 7-8-24 my brother was scheduled for his appointment at 4:30pm by 5:20pm he was still there.We were told that Valley Apple dental made his appointment and Family dental would like to see him when he had 4 weeks since he got all his teeth removed I left there the employees didn’t mind me leaving at all. Will never recommend this place one star ⭐️ is all I give them

Experiencia fantástica: It was my first time going to a dentist in Yakima today. I don’t know if all the dental staff in Yakima are as kind, but my experience today was great. The staff I met was calm and did their jobs well, and they were kind and respectful to me and to each other. That atmosphere made me feel comfortable. I was particularly impressed with Dr. Flinkman, who took the time to ensure everything was clear, even retaking X-rays when some parts weren't sharp. I would like to recommend this place to people around me.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely recommend Yakima Family Dental, unbelievable experience Raphael and Dr. Lewis were amazing with my 11 year old daughter needed a tooth extracted and they had just gotten her numb and the power went out due to a fire and Dr. Lewis felt comfortable moving forward and I trusted in his judgement and I am glad I did. I struggle finding dentist’s for my family and now I hope he stays here with Yakima family dental because I never thought I would ever say …. I love our dentist but they are the best!!! Thanks guys!

Experiencia fantástica: I always dreaded going to the dentist but I finally broke down and went. These people are AWESOME! Not only are the friendliest bunch of people, they are highly trained in how to make you feel at ease and they are extremely good at what they do. I was so nervous, I almost cancelled as I was in need of having all of my top teeth and a few bottom extracted so I was scared. They were done before I knew they had started and they are very compassionate. They even give you the dentists call number that you can text him if you have and questions or concerns. I gave five stars but I would give them 10.

Experiencia negativa: My appointment was at 7:30 for extreme dental pain and a broken molar, I was treated with no courtesy at all. They scheduled me with the wrong dentist who doesn't perform the procedure I need by mistake and spent over an hour "running my insurance" while charting amongst themselves even though that was all filled out in the entry paperwork we submitted online. Terrible.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience here! The staff are so helpful and welcoming, then the Dentist I had was very kind and informative. The most comfortable I’ve been at the Dentist and I look forward to my next visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and good at what they do

Experiencia fantástica: This is awesome. They get you in fast. I needed some extractions. And it was quick. He was gentle and so nice. Always checked on me. Watched tv, it was great.

Experiencia negativa: No call backs. Poor service

Experiencia fantástica: Yakima Family Dental is THE best dental experience(s) I have had my entire life! The entire staff is exceptional. The atmosphere is very soothing and the dental work done is the best. They should be an example for other dental practices to aspire to. Thanks to all of you at Yakima Family Dental!

Experiencia negativa: I was told they did sedation and when i got there they told me they don't do sedations and i live in moses lake and i called to see if they could send me my glasses and they told me id have to drive clear back to get my glasses cause they don't send them. Never going there again

Experiencia fantástica: Always a good pleasant experience. They get you in right away.

Experiencia negativa: Good luck getting them to sign any forms on time or correctly in order for additional work to be done. Took them almost 2 weeks to send in a referral form then did not even fill out the form correctly causing crucial timing to be missed and not be done at all.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best dental/oral surgery office I have ever been to. My first visit here, I had to get 9 teeth pulled and was insanely anxious! Dr. Paul was so fast!! And they did such an amazing job that they eliminated all of my anxiety around going to the dentist. I've never had a better experience at the dentist. Dr. Paul is by far THE BEST oral surgeon I have EVER had!! Ever!! The ladies at the front desk are always so friendly and helpful. They are quick about getting my appointments scheduled. I even get reminder calls the day before my appointment! I literally couldn't ask for a better dental office, period. Hands down 10 out of 10!!

Experiencia negativa: Very Unprofessional Business! Would give 0 stars if it was possible

Experiencia fantástica: My experience was great. Michelle made me feel comfortable and answer all the questions and concerns. If you’re looking for dental place I do recommend Yakima Family, Dental, in Union Gap, Wa

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely professional, personable and knowledgeable. The clinic is kept clean and organized. The staff are quite courteous and helpful. The dentists create an atmosphere of team work that is quite unique. They were careful during the procedures, I didn't feel the usual pain. I can honestly say one of the best dental clinics I've been to. They pay attention to detail, the results are beautiful and healthy and happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Writing a review for my husband Luis Garcia. He is a new patient and recently went in, he is very satisfied with the quality of care. He compliments them on their politeness from receptionist to assistants to dentist. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been here three times now and each time ive loved it! Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. Went in today for a broken tooth extraction and the surgeon was fast (but not in a way that felt rushed, as he was still careful), always asking if I was doing alright or if I was experiencing any pain, and the place was hygienic. Great experience so far overall! I also liked that I wasn’t sitting there for an eternity. I was in and out relatively quickly! Happy to come back for future dental needs!

Experiencia negativa: Treated poorly and downgraded, I stated I did NOT want silver in my mouth and was told “we don’t give special treatment here, we can’t give you different then what we give our other patients” Clearly stating they were trying to go the cheap route of fixing a broken tooth, I will not be back ever. And will be making sure every single one of my family and friends avoids this place as well, considering they had me in the chair ready to put nitrous on and the assistant mentions I am asking for special treatment?? I’m asking to not have to spend $6,000 out of pocket again to have silver removed as it isn’t a good fit for me? If we could’ve gotten a calculation of how much everything was going to be to not use silver I would’ve payed for it Absolutely uncalled for now I’m searching for someone who is willing too do it the correct way and not the welfare way

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a patient here for years and just recently had my cleaning and had the best experience with Dr. Flinkman and Melanie. Melanie was the best hygienist I’ve ever had! She was very thorough and just the kindest person. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Put me on the cancelation lists and actually followed through and got me in early. Also they always did great with my kids.

Experiencia negativa: Dr. Paul has the worst chairside manorism of any dentist I have ever seen. He didn’t use any topical anesthetic while numbing my tooth. He just jabbed the needle into my gums and pushed as hard as he could. I had more pain from the injection site than from the tooth area itself. He didn’t give me any type of compassion for an extremely stressful situation to begin with. He was extremely rough. If anyone I knew had to see this dentist because of insurance, I would recommend paying cash to have some one who cares about people work on them. It’s hard enough to go to the dentist then to get someone who doesn’t care about you is aweful. Don’t go here if you don’t have to.

Experiencia negativa: I had a bad experience I had a appointment and they kept trying to tell me I wasn’t scheduled at all when I had a appointment card saying it was this time and day and I took off work for this but luckily they was able to get me in then now I’m trying very hard for my medication and I’m starting to feel lots of pain and I have to wait longer now in pain just cause this place is so unorganized like what kind of place is this

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Flinkman and his staff are phenomenal. They are the kindest, most attentive people I’ve met in life in general. They made me feel comfortable and took such good care of me. The work they did on my teeth is some of the best work I’ve seen. Thank you so much for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: The people have been great here, from the front desk to the Doctor. It took me a long time to find a Dentist that would take my Inshurance, and they haven’t made it a billing hell. My family loves the people here and I couldn’t see us going any we’re else for dentist work.

Experiencia fantástica: Great people and great dentists office for braces dentures regular dental

Experiencia fantástica: wow. fast, gentle efficient, considerate and friendly, who could ask for more, thanks

Experiencia fantástica: Good service

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you for being so nice

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! It was my first appointment here today and everyone was so friendly perfect for a gal like me that has extreme dental phobia... I actually am more content now for my next appointment. Thank you yakima family dental for calming my nerves down. I love you guys already

Experiencia fantástica: From the time I checked in, throughout the complete conversation everyone in the office was very inviting, professional and welcoming, I can honestly say that I look forward to my next visit, even though I will have to have some work done in my mouth, I look forward to letting you know how that goes but so far they are above and beyond what I hoped for.

Experiencia negativa: Could've been more gentle and professional was my first time. Seemed like everyone was rushing.

Experiencia fantástica: Un servicio bueno la verdad enfocados en su trabajo sigan así bendiciones

Experiencia fantástica: Great service. The dentist was knowledgeable and the assistants very courteous

Experiencia negativa: Horrible service kept on sending my prescription to yakima Walmart when I don't live in yakima and I told them to send it to the right Walmart and they kept on sending my prescription somewhere else

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very knowledgeable and amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoyed the professional, yet relaxed attitude which made me feel comfortable. Procedures were done with care and concern, and I was comfortable throughout. Thank you for helping me care for my teeth and also for the information and support when I encountered a couple of obstacles. Kye Dawald

Experiencia fantástica: Great people, quick service. Had 3 fillings done no pain except when they stick the needle in. Thank you Dr. Flinkman and the assistants. (Sorry can't remember your names) looking forward to getting the rest done!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is wonderful. Great atmosphere. Not a long wait.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! Got my wisdom teeth out! It was quick and mostly painless lol numbing was the worst part! Super nice employees!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly. Best part was there was hardly any waiting! Very well taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: The doctor Made sure I was numb enough. He talked me through what he was doing. Was quick and painless (after the shots) asked me many times if I was ok. The staff are wonderful and very kind. Janet was so very sweet. I wish I could give way more stars.

Experiencia fantástica: Good

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was great super friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: By far the best dentist I have been to in my life. Very personable and put me at ease. They are the first dentist office in over 7 years to come up with a plan to fix my teeth.

Experiencia fantástica: Fast, efficient and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: I don’t like going to the dentist. I’m hesitant before I walk in the door. YFD impressed me immediately! Staff was excellent, building was inviting. Funny smells everywhere, but that’s expected. My Dr was impressive! I think my fear of the dentist visit is finally over! Thank you YFD!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Dr did good.

Experiencia positiva: Experience was good , front desk ladies are good . The one thing I dislike is calling to try and make an appointment, one they take way too long to answer your call and once they answer they transfer you to someone else that eventually you get hung up on . And last their exams rooms are horrible disgusting dirty . There’s debes and stains on the floor stains on the counters and This was on an early morning appointment. You will think being a medical dental exam rooms would be more clean and disinterested. There is always plenty of girls / students in there laughing and joking around maybe some of them can to the disinfecting before patients go in the rooms ….

Experiencia fantástica: They were all so kind and helpful! The dentist was extremely polite and knowledgeable. His assistant Sophia took special care when doing my x-rays. Let's face it: bite wings...well they bite! But when Sophia did them, I didn't feel a thing!

Experiencia fantástica: Did great job. Everything went real quick and to the point!!!

Experiencia fantástica: It was my first time going there and everyone was so nice. Thank you for a great first visit!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Quick and friendly! Well worth the drive, I'll keep coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best dentist place I have ever gone to. Not only are the members of staff friendly they treat you as if you were family. Caring for you as if you were one of there own. I had oral surgery there and not only did they make me very comfortable but then a member of staff called to check on how I was afterwards. I couldn't have imagined a better service. Thank you to all the staff. I would give 10 stars if possible.

Experiencia fantástica: Yesterday I got a call from their office. I didn't recognize their 800# so didn't answer. Since I get a lot of spam calls, there's a lot I don't answer. So they canceled my appt cuz I hadn't confirmed my appointment. So when I called back I told them I hadn't recognized the #, but I was able to confirm my appointment for this afternoon. So as I was sitting in the dental office today, arriving 15 minutes early, the gal that waited on me, she didn't check me in. Sitting in their waiting room, the gal in reception called me and asked where I was. As I got up, and another receptionist had called me. She tried to tell me I didn't chk in but I had, the other person hadn't acknowledged it. At least I got in and got my extraction done. It hurts like the dickens but I'll b okay. The oral surgeon Dr Paul was awesome. He hit the nerve both on the outer and inner part of my gum; didn't feel him pull the tooth and I didn't bleed much either. Thank you staff; you're much appreciated. Best dental office I've ever been to1

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing customer service, great workers and great environment

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly staff! Thank you guys

Experiencia fantástica: It is a positive experience for me. They are all kind and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: Had the best experience, everything went smooth. Super Friendly Staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Best Dental place ever Thanks for all that you do and have done, And they say there's no place like home

Experiencia negativa: Wife had seven teeth pulled at 4 pm and they never called her prescription in like they said. We had to go to the emergency room to get her some relief

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to Yakima Family Dental a few times now and the staff have been incredibly nice and they have always been right on top of any issues and problems I have had. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

Experiencia fantástica: Really good

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was very kind and helpful I had a full mouth distraction the scariest thing I have gone through in a long time and they took such good care of me

Experiencia fantástica: The visit was great no waiting time and the resectionists they were so kind but the five STARS goes to the girl who did the deep cleaning in my teeth. She did it in a gentil way without causing any pain , I did not use any anesthesia. Thank you Yakima Family Dental you guys are the best

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente servicio atencion5 estrellas personal capacitado con experiencia

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff. They were so kind and gentle and help you to feel comfortable and at ease during your exam.

Experiencia fantástica: The Dr. Was AMAZING! I get very anxious and he had me in & out in no time! I had 4 teeth extracted. Him & his assistant were very kind
