'If you want to know how good a dentist really is, ask a dental assistant. No one gets an unadulterated view of their work like we do. That being said, I was fortunate enough to assist for Dr. Wesley Johnson for a couple of years. I can say, without a doubt, he is one of the very best dentists out there! He puts his heart into everything he does. His dentistry is ALWAYS performed to the highest standards. His funny and warm-hearted nature makes patients feel right at home. I would 100% trust Dr. Johnson with my familys and my own dental care. Im so sad that hes relocated. Cle Elum, you guys really lucked out with Dr. Johnson!' Meaghan M.
'This picture always makes me laugh. I share it as a self-deprecating reminder of Polaroids, pajamas sewn by frugal mothers, and dreams of backyard Nerf-football glory.Clearly, with my mouth agape and the focus of a thousand lions, I was destined to become a dentist.' Dr. Johnson
Dr. Coder graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 2019. She was a dental assistant and personnel manager for decades before returning to school to become a dentist.

We are so excited to have Dr. Coder as part of our Swiftwater Dental team!

Horrible customer service and lackluster quality. I had one cleaning here about nine months ago and was surprised how my teeth didn't look or feel any cleaner, and the office staff was rude. Then, due to a last minute scheduling conflict I called to cancel as soon as I was aware and they decided to charge a $100 cancellation fee. I would hate to see how many thousands of dollars they scammed out of people during the COVID-19 pandemic due to this cancellation fee. It would be best to find a different dentist who cares about their patients instead of only caring how much they can line their pockets.

I'm writing in place of my husband who had the appointment with Candace for cleaning. She has been our favorite hygienist for a long time and dearly love her. She does a great job, is personable and caring. Dr. Coder has become a jewel in our eyes as well. She takes time to explain things very thoroughly and does a wonderful job on tooth restoration. We hope the two of them stay here forever.

Though "the dentist" is my least favorite place to spend my time, I can count on Dr. Johnson (and staff) to be prompt, professional, friendly and straightforward when communicating pros/cons of procedures. I highly recommend Swiftwater.

Been charged TWICE randomly with no explanation for these charges MONTHS after an appt. and they deny they happen. got charged $15 out of no where and they wont explain why and today got a $54 dollar charge again with no explanation. Will be filing a fraudulent charge in the morning.
