It has been exciting to begin a new career in the field of orthodontics and wonderful to work in such an organized and professional office.

Dr. Engen went above and beyond to make sure the procedure gave the results I wanted and was done right. I had a great experience from the first consultation through the post-op. Through some discomfort with numbing, etc, Dr. Engen was extremely careful and comforting. The staff is friendly, there is great energy in the office, and I am extremely satisfied with the results.

I had to have a gum graft and was terrified to need oral surgery, but Dr. Engen made the experience wonderful. I had practically no pain at the graft site or where the stitches were in place (the soreness from the numbing injections was worse) and healed very fast. He was patient and quick, only took maybe 30 minutes! His staff is incredibly sweet as well. If I ever have another dental issue I will come back to Dr. Engen!

Best Periodontist in Spokane. I have been seeing Dr. Engen for over 2 yeqrs now. I just had gum grafting surgery yesterday, I was so nervous because I listened to other people's bad experiences (I will never listen to other people's bad experiences again) I am having very little pain. I can eat soft foods with no problem. If you need a Periodontist, please consider going to Sr. Engen's office.

My mother in law's had an unpleasant experience with the office staff and Dr. Engen. First, she had to wait in the lobby for over than 50 min. passing her appointment time. When she asked the front desk if she needs to reschedule, she was told that this is their lunch time. During the exam Dr. Engen was rude and impatient.

I was told by the billing person Starla that my insurance only covered $600. I called my insurance company and they told me that they were out of network providers. What Starla failed to tell me was that if I went to a in-network provider my coverage would be $1,500. I felt she should have informed me of this and will take my business elsewhere. Buyer Beware!

I had a very positive experience with both gum graphs that Dr. Engen performed. The prescription he gave me helped me get a good nights sleep the night before and I had no anxiety before or during the procedure. I healed very quickly and I'm very pleased with the results. The staff and Dr. Engen are very friendly, professional, and eager to answer any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Engen.

I had a good experience with Dr. Engen & staff. Office and exam rooms are clean and sanitized. All of you have shown sincere concern. Small acts of kindness and words of comfort are more meaningful than you know. Special thanks to all of you, especially Barb. Shirley Durkin

Teenager had a tissue graft at two spots. Dr. Engen and his staff were excellent. They did a great job explaining everything, providing prep and post surgery information, and following up with personal phone calls. They were friendly and seemed to genuinely care about patient satisfaction. Highly recommend!

I had Invisalign and an implant done over the course of a year. They did a great job from start to finish. Most appointments were quick and efficient. The surgery went extremely well. They always did a great job communicating the next steps and expectations. The staff is friendly and extremely kind.

I had a grafting procedure with Dr. Engen and it was surprisingly great. The staff were extremely friendly and genuine and the office was clean and sanitary. The procedure itself was far less intimidating than expected and the healing time was fast. Great group of folks and I'd highly recommend them to all!

They were recommended by a close friend dental assistant working in Spokane. My experience was fantastic. The full spectrum of periodontal care was top notch. I experienced very little discomfort during procedures, recovery, and healing phases, Dr. Pizzini (periodontist), Olivia (periodontal assistant), Starla (billing) and all the front desk staff put me (patient) first and were skillful, courteous, kind, communicative and efficient. I was grateful for the aftercare availability of my periodontist - which I find to be somewhat limited most places I've been. I recommend Engen, Hahn with no reservations!

Great Dentist, awesome assistants. They were always so nice and really cared about my care. Just needed some minor changes to some teeth that had moved, Invisalign worked great. I'd recommend Dr. Engen and his staff to anyone.

At 62 years old I have been a patient of Dr. David Engen for a very long time. When I introduced the idea of braces he was informative, direct, professional and friendly. He guided me through the process like a pro. I never worried once about the results as he's shown me to be a very caring and competent orthodontist. His staff is just as friendly and professional making their job very personal, truly a gifted staff. The results I benefit from is a renewed confidence in my appearance and smile!!!

Excellent group of people and they run on time. You're sitting in the chair when you appointment time starts, not hanging out in the lobby for 15-20 minutes like most places. Everyone is very happy and helpful. Doctors are top notch, they are very helpful to tell you exactly what they are doing and the pros/cons, along with their professional suggestions. Like most people, I hate dental work, but this was a painless experience. Would recommend to anyone who needs this type of work.
