My goodness...where to begin! Dr. Koontz is a gentleman and a Wizard!!! He has cured me of any dental phobias that have plagued me in the past. Work in progress is so well done. He deeply cares about his patients! Please do not hesitate, as I had been so foolish to do, and run - don't walk to his practice!! His facility is top notch and his hand-picked staff professional, warm and encouraging. He is guiding me, without pressure, through the extensive work that I had been reluctant to do and I eagerly look forward to successive appointments. Thank you again, Dr. Koontz, for your knowledge and greatest of care! And, to Molly, Marissa, Patty, Kai, and the great support staff at front desk, I deeply respect and appreciate all that you have done for me!! And, lest I forget, thank you to the modern miracle of Nitrous Oxide!

My family has been with North Creek Dental Care for 12 years. I definitely have no complaints regarding how they take care of my dental needs. The staff is very friendly and professional. I've been a shy person since I was little, but I've always felt comfortable with the staff here. When I was an elementary or middle schooler, I would often have to wait in the lobby for longer because one of my brother's appointment would be 30 minute earlier or later than mine. The nice lady at the desk would sometimes offer me hot cocoa or apple cider at some point. She would make me a cup even though there was a self-serve table and I could have done it on my own. When I was a senior in high school, I remember my hygienist and dentist talked a bit with me regarding my career choice since I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do. They talked about their own career paths, which was really nice to hear at the time. As a college/university student, it's cool how my hygienist would sometimes remember what school I went to.

I absolutely love North Creek dental care. From the time you walk in the front door your greeted with smiles. From the front desk to the chair, you'll notice instantly it's a caring staff. Dr koontz has been taking care of my dental needs for two years now. I did not come in an easy patient. I had extreme anxiety and a lot of work to be done. I'm happy to say it's been a painless experience. With each visit I began to trust Dr koontz more and more. I had no pain after my numbness would wear off. He's just simply that good. Okay now that I feel like I wrote a book here. I hope that my review helps ease your mind in making your choice to visit North Creek dental care.

This dental office is amazing! Staff is very kind and friendly. Dr. Koontz is a wonderful dentist, very knowledgeable, and just best dentist I've ever seen. He provided me with very good advice about what is the best plan to take care of my dental concerns. Also I had bad experience at my previous dentist and developed anxiety at the dental office. However, Dr. Koontz was very kind to ask me how I feel during the entire process and it was the most painless dental filling that I've ever had. He is very efficient and extremely skillful, I'm just so happy and my teeth look beautiful and feel great now! His assistant and hygienist (sorry I didn't catch the names) are also amazing, very comforting, and kindly answered all my questions. I received the highest quality of care! Thank you so much!
