Hello, my name is Thomas Quickstad. In our practice patients and staff just call me Dr. Tom. I was born and raised in Seattle and spent most of my educational years east of Lake Washington, in Bellevue. I went to Newport High School and graduated in 1976.
My undergraduate college days were spent at the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). I attended the University of Washington for my undergraduate degree in Zoology and then got my degree in dentistry (DDS) at the University of Washington School of Dentistry. During my undergraduate years, a big part of my life was soccer. I played for the Huskies all four years and captained the varsity team my senior year.
In 1980 I was accepted and entered the University of Washington Dental School. I enjoyed my time in dental school and still spend Friday afternoons teaching the freshmen students at the dental school. Following graduation in 1984, I traveled to Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where I started my first job as a dentist. I was the school dentist for many of the children in the Canton of Schaffhausen.
I should note that while in Schaffhausen, my wife and I were married. Her name is Allison and she is also from Bellevue. We met during dental school and got engaged shortly after my graduation. We were married in a small church in Buchthalen, near Schaffhausen.
Following one year of working in Schaffhausen we moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, and I worked as a dentist in the Polyclinic. At the Polyclinic I treated mostly adults which really rounded out my postgraduate experience.
In late 1986 we decided it was time to end our expatriate ways and head back home. We rented an apartment on Capitol Hill in Seattle and I started working at a few different dental offices as an associate. In 1989 I opened my private practice in Issaquah. We have grown with the Plateau community and continue to enjoy getting to know and help all our great patients.

I've been coming to Dr. Quickstad's office for many years. He is a fantastic dentist himself, and his entire staff is very good. Never had any issues with the work he has done. The facility is clean and well equipped. I intend to be his customer for years to come.

Dr. Q handled a filling for me and had me out the door in 45 minutes and with virtually zero pain. His calm demeanor, professionalism and skill (and the same for all of his staff!) made for a most excellent dental experience.

I have been going to Dr. Quickstad for over 15 years and the quality of care & expertise is exceptional. I recently referred a client but they chose to go to another dentist instead who was part of a business networking group to "save a few bucks". For the next couple of months I had to assist them with their health as they dealt with multiple complications from a botched root canal at a significantly higher cost of time, money, energy and emotional stress. Dr. Quickstad's office corrected the damage simply and conclusively. They are now a loyal and grateful regular. More importantly, they no longer ignore my infallible advice! I am always alarmed when I hear people tell me about uncomfortable interactions with dental staff at their current dentist. The idea is so foreign to me. First of all, the staff at Dr. Quickstad's is kind and friendly in a genuine way that carries outside of office hours and into the rest of the world. Secondly, why would you keep going there if you have nothing but negative interactions??? Is proximity to you more important than proper care?! Do you have the narrowest dental insurance available on the market?! Baffling. I recently started working with Dr. Wang and can offer nothing but glowing recommendations. Thorough, careful, proficient and comfortable. I have never experienced pain or discomfort. So much so that I feel terribly sympathetic when people tell me of their own professional dental discomfort. It must suck. If only there were a solution.....

I have been going to see Dr. Quickstad for over 20 years. He and his staff have always gone over and above what I have expected with excellent dental service, attention to detail in all their work and a friendly, comfortable environment. Even though it is a bit of a drive to get there, the quality of dental care and the the result are always worth it.

I consulted Dr Gene Wang about a dental issue from a previous aesthetic dental concern, and learnt what to do ahead. Thank you for a professional approach to my problem. You certainly can be my future dentist.

Dr. Quickstad was treating me for at least 25 years. He always did and does the best treatments anyone can dream about. He is also very loyal to patients and respect their needs. Dr. Quickstad is the most knowledgeable in dentistry in the state and the best in the state of Washington Dentist Doctor. I remember when I've had a complications with my tooth, Dr. Quickstad didn't go to the tournament, he usually going with his family, and came to his office on Saturday to treat me. There are not very many doctors now days as responsible and helpful as Dr. Quickstad. I always recommend Dr. Quickstad as the best dentist in this state.
