Redmond Smiles

Experiencia fantástica: I had wonderful experience at Redmond Smiles! From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. The office itself is beautiful, modern, and inviting, which immediately helped put me at ease. Having experienced dental anxiety in the past, I especially appreciated how empathetic, gentle, and kind the dentist was. The dental assistant was equally wonderful—so personable, engaging, and reassuring throughout my visit. I had a filling done and was amazed that I experienced absolutely zero discomfort, both during the procedure and afterward! It was truly one of the most comfortable dental experiences I’ve ever had. It’s clear that the entire team genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I’m so grateful to have found Redmond Smiles and would highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: I had such a wonderful experience with Emma at Redmond Wellness! She was absolutely amazing—so kind, gentle, professional, and made me feel very comfortable throughout my appointment. She took her time, explained everything clearly, and did an excellent job. You can really tell that she cares about her patients and takes pride in her work. I’m so happy I found her and would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a great hygienist! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to this practice since I was 10 years old. I’ve been there through the Danforth and Eckland years, And so far, I have been very pleased with Dr. Ma and Dr. Amar. It’s an outstanding practice with a great team and after 34 years of being a patient I anticipate continuing on with Dr. Amar.

Experiencia fantástica: Very

Experiencia fantástica: I had the best dental experience ever! Impressed with my teeth cleaning. Very thorough, and probably the best cleaning I have ever had. And Dr. Colby Eckland was exceptional. Very personable, knowledgeable, and I appreciated the extra time to explain my X-rays and photos. And not to forget the office staff. Very helpful in arranging my appointment, and providing me with necessary info. All in all, an amazing first time visit to your office. I’m so excited to have a new dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to Dr. Colby Eckland for many years now. He has been instrumental in my teeth being at optimal health. Whether it was a cracked root canal, matching my fillings and crowns perfectly, he & his staff have been wonderful. Each time I’m greeted as an old friend. The genuine care & kindness I’ve received is a testimony of Dr. Colby Eckland himself! Thank you all!

Experiencia fantástica: Every staff member is incredibly kind and helpful. Dr. Eckland is thorough and very caring for his patients.

Experiencia fantástica: As always, a very positive experience with Dr. Eckland and his staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Colby Eckland has been my dentist for over a decade. His commitment to exceptional dental care and personalized patient attention is truly remarkable. Furthermore, his staff consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and compassion. I would particularly like to acknowledge Emma for her outstanding work and Kristina for her excellent service at the front desk.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland and his team at Redmond Smiles are true partners. They are pragmatic in their approach to treatment, working with me to tailor a shared approach which has dramatically improved my dental/oral health.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Dr. Eckland and his team has always been excellent. They are caring, careful, personable and kind. Best dental team I’ve ever had and I’ve had a bunch.

Experiencia fantástica: Really great experience today with Emma for my deep cleaning. She has a great touch and super empathetic! Everyone at Redmond Smiles is top notch!

Experiencia fantástica: Great results, and they are pearly!

Experiencia fantástica: Using my stage name here, but tomorrow i head back to Dr Eckland’s office, and look forward to my experience. The dynamic duo, Hayley and Emma (dental assistant and hygienist) always make for a welcoming experience at the office prior to seeing the actual dentist. Warm personalities, cheerful attitudes, and skillful in their dental knowledge, these two employees really are a bonus to Colby Eckland’s office.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to the Eckland Family Dentistry in Redmond for 10+ years and have always appreciated the professional standards & ethics the uphold and the friendly atmosphere. On that note, for my last cleaning appt I was running late due to a longer than expected meeting. I called and apologized to the receptionist when explaining my situation and expecting to reschedule. She couldn't have been more understanding and gave me the option of coming in late or rescheduling. I chose to come in late and my hygienist Emma, the consummate pro, never mentioned my tardiness and finished the cleaning on time knowing I had to go back to work. Doesn’t get much better than that. 5/5 Stars!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Consistent and compassionate care throughout all my visits.

Experiencia fantástica: Emma and the team of Dr. Eckland provide tremendous support and care. They take time to listen and ensure my visit is positive. I will always return!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland is an outstanding dentist who truly loves his work. From my very first visit, I felt completely confident that he was the right dentist for me. His chairside manner is kind and reassuring, and he always takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and answer any questions I have. I also appreciate that he has a strong network of trusted specialists he can recommend when needed. I highly recommend Dr. Eckland to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and attentive dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: You can’t say enough good things about Redmond Smiles!Dr. Ecklund has this rare mix of genuine kindness on a very short list for nicest person I know), professionalism, and precision. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions with patience, and makes sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. His attention to detail is incredible — you can tell he truly cares about both the health and aesthetics of your smile. The staff is just as wonderful: welcoming, efficient, and attentive. The office itself feels modern, clean, and calming — the kind of space that actually puts you at ease instead of making you dread your appointment. As a patient for the last 10 years, what continues to stand out most to me is how much Dr. Ecklund and his team go above and beyond to create a positive experience. You leave the office with not only with healthier teeth, but also with the peace of mind knowing that you’ve been cared for by people who love what they do. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise, compassion, and an amazing chair-side manner, Dr. Ecklund is the one!

Experiencia fantástica: Colby Eckland is an excellent dentist, but the best part about this one practice is Emma, the hygienist. She is wonderful and does a great job cleaning your teeth!

Experiencia negativa: Unfortunately, this office is a bit old-fashioned despite the modern furniture and rebranding. They are not a holistic practice. I specified that I would like a teeth cleaning and did not need x-rays at this time, but when I arrived, the doctor was unhappy having his Western medical expertise subverted. He lied about x-rays being required by law, and then further demonstrated a lack of awareness, integrity, respect. Within a few minutes, I was able to find a Wellness dentistry office nearby whose policies uphold patient sovereignty—with a more inclusive price point, too. I’m sure some nice procedures are done here, but one is likely to have a better experience somewhere else. The welcome team is upbeat and friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Been

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Colby Ecklund and his team have been outstanding in supporting my dental health. My dental hygenist, Emma, is outstanding and takes very good care of my sensitive teeth and gums and explains everything as she works. Also gives me great advice on how to improve my overall dental health. Recently had a new "tooth" placed on an implant pole. Fits like a charm and the overall visit and experience was excellent. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Eckland for several years now, and he is an excellent dentist. He's always thorough and detail oriented. His staff is also very professional and friendly. Hayley is an excellent assistant, and Emma has been a very knowledgeable and impressive hygienist. The overall climate of the office is friendly and calm, thanks to Christina at the front desk, and the entire staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I was seen by Dr. Eckland with my six year old daughter for the first time 6 month ago. We were welcomed by a wonderful team of dental hygienists and dental assistants. Dr. Eckland saved my tooth from a very unwanted crown. No pain, little to no discomfort, and exceptional results. State of the art facility, excellent staff, wonderful and very knowledgeable doctor. My 6 year old daughter cannot wait to go back for her regular checkup-that alone deserves FIVE stars.

Experiencia fantástica: Cody and his staff have continued to go above and beyond to take care of me. I have huge fears of dentists and they have gone the extra mile to help make me feel safe and cared for. I feel so blessed to have found this place. They truely care about the whole person and what dental care can do for your overall health and well being.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff, excellent customer service. Only been here a couple times as a new customer, but I fully trust the work they do and am happy I've found such a knowledgeable group of people to help me with my dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Colby Eckland and his staff (special mention of hygenist Emma) rock. He has managed to correct my many dental issues and help me suppress a genetic gum disease. I appreciate his approach to achieving painless dentistry while giving me the smile I always wanted.

She is extremely thorough, empathetic, and helpful. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm glad that Redmond Smiles Dentistry is my go-to for my oral care and maintenance. From periodic cleanings to restorative dental fixes, I've always been greatly satisfied with their work and convenience! They are a Redmond treasure.

Experiencia fantástica: Have been seeing Dr. Eckland for years, ever since I was a kid, and will continue to come back to his office even after moving further away as the care they provide here is excellent and always above and beyond expectations . The team here is so friendly and my hygienist Emma always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: The experience and service was great and yes, even for having to go to the dentist! Thank you so much. I really appreciate Hayley encouraging me and helping me to feel comfortable as soon as I got there. Dr. Colby explained everything to me and gave me so much more info rather than a whirlwind of medical lingo and pressure to get something done immediately. So yea im very happy and actually looking forward to trying to get my mouth feeling and looking better. Thank you so much!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Colby Eckland is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. The staff are professional and they provide great customer service. Emma, the hygienist takes her time and is very thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Eckland’s office for any dental work.

She greets you with a big smile which makes a big impression that I came to the right dental office that will be able to be a great service for me. Donna, who access my dental work and cleaning is just the best. She makes you feel so comfortable and she’s so good at what she does. I love it when she’s working on you she’s very detailed and explained as she goes along and work around your teeth.

Another added addition to the Eckland Family Dentistry is Emma whose been taking great care for my healthy teeth. She really fit in with this family dental care. I feel so comfortable when she’s working on me. I won’t see anyone else cleaning my teeth. Emma is just wonderful. Today, May 29,2024, I came in for an emergency appointment for front left tooth crown came off. I was taken in right away and I had the pleasure to work and met Dr Lee Zamos who took care my needs and worked on my dental issue. He is a great addition to Dr Colby Eckland family dentistry Redmond Smiles. He sure is a great fit to this family. He also works wonders and so detail oriented that he explain step by step and even have you holding up a mirror to point out what is is about to do. It says a lot about this dentistry family that care about your dental health care. I have been with Dr Colby Eckland for a long time now and have been coming here for a number of years. Emma, my hygienist is great as well and is the only one I trust to clean my teeth. I’ll be lost without her expertise. I love my dentists. I recommend Dr Colby Eckland Family Dentistry to anyone who reads this review. I thank you.

Experiencia positiva: Had an amazing first visit to Redmond Smiles. The team took the time to examine, clean, and explain both recommendations and what they were finding so I never felt in the dark with the recommendations. Giving 4/5 stars because there was a copay that I learned about late (after checking that the visit would be covered by my insurance ahead of time).

Experiencia fantástica: Shout out to team - Emma, Mila and others!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland and the team at Redmond Smiles are great. Very thorough and help me make informed decisions on my care.

Experiencia fantástica: UPDATE: When I was 8 years old, I had the worst dentist imaginable — so bad that I was traumatized and neglected my teeth for decades. My bite shifted throughout the years and I ground down my front teeth so badly that one of them finally cracked. Dr. Colby Eckland fixed the crack and helped me build a treatment & restoration plan that started with orthodontic realignment (in close partnership with Dr. Jeremy Chaison for the Invisalign) and culminated with a set of picture perfect composite veneers. I am so grateful for Dr. Eckland’s friendly and calming “chair-side manner”, his ongoing support, and his sheer artistry. He gave me back my smile at the ripe age of 50, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!!! ============ Original review: Like many people out there, I grew up afraid of going to the dentist. My past experiences with other dental professionals was traumatizing (to say the least). Fast-forward to the present -- and I'm happy to report that my experience at Eckland Family Dentistry has been AMAZING! Dr. Colby, Emma, and the rest of the team have been great. They are gentle and patient and very accommodating -- which is especially meaningful to a scaredy-cat like me. I highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Eckland has been my dentist since he inherited the practice from my childhood dentist, Dr Parker. Dr Eckland is always friendly, honest, and caring in his work, and his staff reflect these values as well. It's always a pleasure to come for any sort of treatment or regular check-up and cleaning.

Experiencia fantástica: Great dentists and location. My hygienist Emma did a great job as always.

Experiencia fantástica: Always courteous, always professional, always friendly. Skilled and gentle. I would recommend this office to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: “I was amazed at how easy my filling went. I had no pain during or after the procedure. I would recommend Dr. Eckland and his office to anyone looking for a good dentist.”

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience. Latest technology. Professional, patient, kind, team. Our whole family has been going here for 8 years. Dr. Eckland, Emma, Mila, Christina, all awesome and wonderful people. Highly recommend, especially for families and people who care about the latest tech and science in dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic dentist, warm friendly staff, and top-quality dental care! My teeth have been much healthier since I started going here.

Experiencia fantástica: Emma is a top notch dental hygienist, always using the latest dental techniques while providing great care.

Experiencia fantástica: I am always super comfortable getting my teeth cleaned at Eckland as she is always asking me how it feels.. I absolutely love Dr Eckland, as he is smart and always explains things clearly, and is a superior human being! I highly recommend Dr Colby Eckland and staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Colby Ecklund and the entire staff provide exceptional personalized care in a warm, professional environment. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a patient of Dr. Colby Eckland for some years now. The team at Eckland Family Dentistry is helping me to stay healthy as I get older! Emma does such a great job of cleaning my teeth and with education on self-care. Colby is all about making sure patients are informed and involved in their dental health which is refreshing. It is always a pleasure to visit their office in Redmond, and when I leave my teeth are happy!

Experiencia fantástica: Clean office, friendly staff. Been going here for about 20 years.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Eckland and his team are wonderful. Always do great work.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommended. Very gentle with sensitive teeth and gums.

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist in Redmond. Updating this review to cover the new dentist in place of Colby. Dr Amos is an excellent dentist as well he saw me while filling in for Colby. After chipping a tooth he filled it with ease and made sure it looked great. Haley the assistant was a great help as well especially made me feel calm and explained the process in great length and detail because they know I get anxious going to the dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Colby Eckland and Dr. Lee Zamos and the team are fantastic! From the warm welcome at reception to the expert care in the chair, they make every visit a pleasure. I highly recommend them for top-notch dental care in a friendly environment!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Dr. Colby Eckland's office. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. Emma as always is not only professional but also very concerned about my comfort level so that the experience of having my teeth cleaned a good experience. I actually look forward to my appointments.

Experiencia fantástica: Emma at Dr. Colby Eckland's office did a great job on my teeth and educating me on the best ways to keep my gums healthy! Highly recommend Emma and this office!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland is knowledgeable, informative as well as fun to visit! Emma, the new hygienist was fabulous! Super easy on me while explaining everything and my teeth felt and looked great. Plans were made for investigating a possible crack in my tooth that will be initially addressed by replacing my filling. I appreciate the first step supports the lowest-invasive approach. I would highly recommend Eckland Family Dentistry!

Experiencia fantástica: Great work, great service, great people!

Experiencia fantástica: Emma took great care of me and my gums. She is careful, considerate, and very thorough. I left the office feeling clean and with minimal soreness for having work done on all four quadrants of my mouth in under an hour and a half. I'd recommend Emma to anyone looking for the highest quality care and work.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend the whole staff at Eckland Family Dentistry. Colby replaced a damaged crown (from a previous dentist). Colby's work was very meticulous and painless. Emma and Hayley are both excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: A dentist and staff I trust completely, who do an excellent job. Emma is an amazing hygienist, she is always very thorough with her cleaning and very knowledgeable about oral care. She is also lovely and I appreciate her hugely.

Experiencia fantástica: Hi Hayley Great job - I had no pain or discomfort -very professional. Mize Conner

Experiencia negativa: I would not recommend this place. The front desk staff was extremely unprofessional and lacked basic knowledge about insurance. She overcharged me by several hundred dollars and yelled at me for half an hour before realizing her mistake. It was a highly unpleasant experience. In addition, this dentistry is supposed to be in-network with my insurance company, but they didn't follow the contract. Instead, they insisted on charging me more than the amount agreed upon with the insurance company.

Experiencia negativa: Had availed their service since moving to Redmond, and the treatment has been ok. Main concern is with billing: had an extra charge for item not covered by insurance that was never asked or cleared before using for treatment. The billing is always more than expected and even though insurance says diagnostic/preventative covered fully, ended up paying extra. When i asked why - initially just asked me to call and ask the insurance when they could have at least explained the discrepancy. The interactions with the front desk leave much to be desired. I will be moving on to a different provider, and from some of the reviews posted before --> this is not the 1st time something like this has happened. I wish them well, but the whole experience has left me with a bad taste.

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely professional and friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: My dental health is the best in years and I credit this practice. I can ask any question and get a thoughtful answer

Experiencia fantástica: I love Colby and his staff, they are always very pleasant. They do a great job and are professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this office, staff is very friendly and Dr Eckland is detailed with his description and recommendations of what's happening with my dental health as well as providing steps I can take to keep my smile healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Trips to the dentist are now appointments I look forward to and enjoy! Dr. Colby Eckland does amazing work and stays on the leading edge of technology and treatments, all while providing preventative advice for great dental health - you'll enjoy getting to know one of the most interesting Dr's out there! The hygienists are amazing, and I've been fortunate to be scheduled with Emma for multiple cleanings, and her communication and attention to detail makes for a super smooth visit. Mila is always ahead of the appointments and reminders, and she's prepared for each step of the way and always with a smile and fun attitude - don't take my word for it, schedule your next visit with EFD!

Experiencia fantástica: True family dentistry through multiple generations is our experience with Dr Eckland and his dynamic team of professionals. Our family trusts Dr Eckland to keep our family healthy (and happy) with comprehensive periodontal health.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm always welcomed with open arms here! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and personable. A trip to the dentist is a highlight with this team.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are best. Great care and service. Never felt so relaxed at dentist office. Love them.

Experiencia fantástica: Great knowledgeable team that keep my teeth clean.

Experiencia negativa: Used their service twice this year and I will try somewhere else next year. They surprised me with the bill again today because they did services which are not covered by my insurance without my consent. At the recent time when I visited them, I didn't even get a chance to see the dentist, who was on vacation, but they billed my insurance the same amount of money. The communication with them was frustrated. The "family" seems don't communicate with each other very well.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland & his staff are always both friendly & professional. And Dr. Eckland keeps up with the latest findings on better ways to provide dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Staff is fantastic. Nicest dentist I’ve visited. And very knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Great dentist and dental hygienist! Always satisfied with the advice, and treatments they provide.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland has always been a stellar professional who's taken great care to offer quality dentistry. The entire staff is pleasant and professional, yet personable, so I can't recommend them enough. I've been coming here for roughly 15 years and they've always taken great care of me! Emma is a fantastic hygienist who's thorough in her work and pleasantly brief in her explanations. If you're looking for a new dentist, now you're done! :)

Experiencia fantástica: This is my all time favorite dental office! Emma is such a lovely, positive and professional hygienist! I really appreciate her and the rest of the team! They all ROCK!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Eckland and his team are amazing - professional, efficient, and friendly. I've been a patient there for a couple of years and am continually impressed with the high level of service I receive. No one likes going to the dentist, but if you're going, I strongly recommend Dr. Eckland and his team!

Experiencia positiva: Doctor Colby is great. I’ve been her for four years. But the front desk Mila is not doing her job at all. She knows nothing. She asked me to come to do gum therapy but she never sent me the necessary and correct information of billing. When I came to the office, she told me she never got pre authorization and she didn’t know how much I would pay out of pocket. But I called so many times to ensure I should get all the information. She simply doesn’t know how to do her job and maybe shouldn’t get a job in the first place.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a patient of Dr. Colby Eckland for years. He and his staff are expert, professional and personal. They use the latest technology and always office good advice. Emma makes teeth cleaning a pleasant, comfortable experience. I highly recommend them.
