This dental office is excellent! Everyone who works here is professional & responsive. They are very busy but they do their best to get you the appointments that you need. Dr. Prakash is very knowledgeable and his techs are all great. I highly recommend Shannon, shes done all my cleanings and she was very skilled and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable!
Dr. Prakash is very kind and always makes me feel comfortable. He takes the time to explain what he is seeing and doing which puts my mind at ease.He provides excellent care and even sends a personal follow up to make sure that everything is going well.Mary and Julie are also so welcoming and make coming to the dentist easy.
This is the best experience Ive ever had at a dentist. I am grateful to have found a dental office I look forward to going to. The entire staff is very friendly and accommodating. I especially enjoyed my teeth cleaning by dental asst Shannon. She was friendly, funny and gentle. My teeth feel the best they have in a long time. Thank you!
A lifetime of brittle teeth led to multiple root canals, then extractions and implants and crowns and re-crowns, I have spend probably more than 100 hours in dental chairs over my life. For the past 20 years I have been going to this clinic every 6 months for, at minimum, a cleaning. At the end of 2020 the practice has passed to the third owner Ive seen, in succession. I do not tolerate mediocre dentistry because Im just tired of going in every other year for fixes, and Ive had a few poor dentists.Dr. Prakash, the latest owner, is a SUPERIOR dentist. He carefully dealt with my gold crown replacement, it fit perfectly, with no in-mouth adjustment! The man enjoys his work, and he listens and provides options and his staff really seems to like him. Julie at the front desk is all over it, an especially top-notch communicator. My crown could not be better, the bite perfect. My highest recommendation.
Doctor Maggie is very nice and patient. No painful during all the process. Great experience
My experience at Fresh Smile Dental is hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Prakash is extremely detail oriented and spent extra time to make sure my teeth were clean and that everything was in order (one of the bondings that attach to my retainer had come loose and he spent an extra 30 mins reattaching it then and there). He was patient and took the the time to explain what he was doing and why (e.g interpreting X-rays), provide advice (e.g. highlight specific areas to focus on brushing), and answer my questions. Throughout my visit, he also made sure I was comfortable and sought feedback to ensure everything was alright. Finally, he seems to treat his staff like family, which creates a really positive environment to be in. 10/10 will come back. This was a perfect experience.
Dr.Zhang is very knowledgable and helpful. She does care about her patients and give us followup calls. Her skills are also excellent and I never felt painful even during deep cleaning. Most importantly, they never recommend unnecessary services to the patients and helped to save their money. I highly recommend this dentist. She is really awesome! BTW, they have private parking on the Capitol Hill!!
I’ve started to come to Dr Zhang since last year and the experience has been amazing. I got a crown for a broken tooth and it’s working perfectly! The receptionist is super nice and Sarah, who cleaned my teeth, is very gentle and caring.
I moved from SF to Seattle 3 months ago and found this office closed to my place. Doctor Maggie took a conservative approach without up-selling any procedure. She explained to me every steps patiently and gently. My dental hygienist Sara is awesome. Im so glad that I made a right choice.
Did tooth clean, fill and implant. Nice doctor to talk and work with.
Dr. Zhang was amazing! My mom had a chipped tooth, Dr was very professional. She was very nice and warm. She fixed my Moms teeth issues. The receptionist was very friendly, got us in right away the next day, no wait time. I highly recommended her to others.
This dentistry is the best that Ive ever been to! Dr Maggie is very nice and professional. So are the other staff. Everyone is very caring for the patients. Would definitely come back!
Our Family have been going to Fresh Smile Dental for the past three years. Dr. Maggie Zhang and her team are very professional, gentle and detailed oriented. She did a couple fillings for me recently. The procedure was smooth and painless and took care of the tooth sensitivity I had before. Every cleaning vist not only I get my teeth checked and cleaned, the also give me useful dental care advices and motivate me to maintain good oral hygiene. I highly recommend this office
Dr. Zhang is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She is awesome! All the staffs in her office are so friendly, and the office environment is so nice. I really could not recommend them enough!
Wow! The staff and doctor here are amazing! I had a really bad tooth that needed a crown and Dr. Zhang was amazing! She made sure I was not in any pain. She was very comforting and super professional. I can’t say enough about the staff and Doctor. Thank you for your great service and taking care of me pain free!! I highly recommend this place! You will not regret it.
I have always had a fear of the dentist - a phobia, really. This is the first time, I completely trust a dentist and feel little trepidation going to an appointment. Dr. Zhang, is gentle, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and efficient.
This is the best dental clinic I have been to so far. The environment is so comforting and the staff are super careful with your teeth. They care more than you do. And if you only speak Chinese, this is the place to go! Dr Maggie speaks fluent Chinese.
I am constantly impressed by the service at Fresh Smile Dental in Capitol Hill. The staff is kind, courteous, and excellent at their job, which makes all the difference when you HAVE to visit the dentist. My procedure to get cavities filled was painless and my teeth felt great just a couple hours later. Thank you so much!
The doctor was excellent at communicating information and personally engaging. I was pleased to see my hygienist still with the practice. Front desk customer service was knowledgeable, accommodating and responsive. Its tough to find a dentist you love. I love my dentist!
Wonderful experience! Friendly staff and nice environment. I felt no pain without anesthetic during the filling. Quick and perfect treatment!
I went there about 1 month ago. This is one of the best dental care Ive been. All the staffs are very kind and patient. They did nice job on my regular clean and dental filling. They also provide free advice to help protect my teeth. Doctor Zhang is very knowledgeable and professional.
Ive been a patient since Dr. Zhangs office opened and am very happy with the level of professional and friendly service provided to me. Dr Zhang is one of the best dentists that Ive ever had and she fully explains your options, each procedures and makes sure you are comfortable during any procedures. Highly recommend this office especially to those of us that are a bit anxious about having dental work done.BTW, the office also offers oral appliance for patients with sleep apnea. I got mine and helped a lot with my sleep quality.
I normally do serious research before making important decisions, as an investor. A dentist is super critical and deserve my efforts. The reasons why I recommend Dr. Zhang are below: a) solid and comprehensive academic background: medical degree in a top Chinese medical university, PhD here in the United States, and professional Dental Medicine Doctorate from UPenn. She has a bigger picture and wider knowledge when solving your dental issues when needed. b) Great reviews from my interviews with her patients and my personal experiences echo too. Specifically, Dr. Zhang is professional, experienced, and caring - trying her best to help; c) If your medical English is actually at the primary-school level like mine is and your mother tongue is Mandarin, youll have a better experience here.
All the staff here are so friendly. They make your visit so comfortable. And the Doctor is a Chinese, make it easier for you if you are not familiar with the dental terms like me.
I dont believe the majority of these reviews are authentic. I went in for a filling on a chipped front tooth to find my other side of my tooth chipped when I left. The tooth Dr. Zheng filled is now slightly crooked from applying too much filament to the back of the tooth and polishing only the front. I know these issues are only cosmetic and can be fixed by a dentist with more skill in this area but its still so frustrating. In order to get this fixed now I would have to open a medical malpractice claim, go into battle with my insurance company or shell out thousands of dollars to get it fixed. Do yourself a favor and shop around before getting any work done, especially if it is as visible as mine.
I’ve had issues with getting a hold of anybody at their office, but Dr. Zhang has been very helpful in getting back to me after all my attempts to reach them. I appreciate that she took the time to reach out to me even though I have almost given up. Thank you!
Everyone, all of the staff, are very professional. My hygienist was great, careful not to totally destroy my gums like some do, but also good about doing a thorough job cleaning! Dr. Maggie was great, very personable, easy to talk with, knowledgable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this practice for anyone looking for a dentist.
Dr. Zhang was very informative and made sure I knew exactly whats happening. The rest of the staff were phenomenal and made sure all my questions were answered and then some. Would highly recommend!
I found it on Google, and saw its reviews were very good. I went to give it a shot at cleaning my teeth. It turns out to be pretty good.
Fantastic Experience at Fresh Smile! When I was younger, I had very traumatic dental experiences which led me to avoiding the dentist into adulthood. Dr. Zhang and my hygienist, Melissa, are warm and caring and genuinely concerned about me and me dental health. I have been going for almost 6 years and I am to the point where I am starting to look forward to a visit.
All staff are very nice and professional. And all the service are very good and comfortable.
Everyone was super helpful and answered all of my questions. I felt like I was heard and like the team works together to make sure client needs are taken care of. Much appreciated!
Dr. Zhang is very professional and her team is so nice and friendly. And Dr. Zhang speaks Chinese, it’s easier to communicate.
Dr. Maggie is an excellent dentist whose main priority is making sure her patients are comfortable and get the best dentistry she can offer. I would recommend Dr. Maggie to anyone who needs a dentist!
Chipped my tooth yesterday morning and Dr. Zhang fixed me right up in the afternoon. It was a great pleasure to meet my new Dentist. She did a great job. I would highly recommend her to others.
I found Fresh Smile on google and came for the proximity and female dentist... and I lucked out completely! Everyone is so lovely and Dr. Zhang is very calming and encouraging. It had been so long since Id been to a dentist (from living abroad) and I had quite a bit of work to do to get me back on track. I was pretty worried about it all, but Dr. Zhang and her staff made it as painless as possible!
I always have a great experience at Fresh Smile Dental. They hygienists are always very thorough and efficient. Dr Zhang is very professional and does a great job of explaining your visit.
Dr. Zhang and her hygienists are awesome! Very gentle and calming. The receptionist is also nice and helpful! A+!
Staff is friendly and professional. My hygienist knew her job well and made sure I was always comfortable. Dr. Maggie was gave clear explanations of my overall dental health and what I can do to better maintain my teeth and gums. No one tried to upsell me on whitening ect. I highly recommend Fresh Smiles if youre looking for a dentist in the Capitol Hill area.
I have my wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Zhang. I was worried about the pain but it turned out to be a great experience. Dr. Zhang is gentle and skilled at this, and I barely felt painful during the rest of the day. Front desk representative and assistants are also super nice of explaining how to take care of this after the appointment.
I have to admit, I was leery about the new dentist. Whenever you transfer a business over to a new person, things are not the same, and change is difficult. Its especially difficult when the original dentist is so well loved. The new dentist, Dr Zhang was very nice. I like that she wasnt pushy or tried to sell me anything. Ive had bad experiences with dentists in the past trying to upsell me. She was kind and her demeanor was calming. Im happy with my recent visit, and hope that the future experiences become even better as we get to know each other. Thank you. I am looking forward to having fresh smiles from now on!Thank you againShawn Smith
So far so good with the office now being owned/run by Dr. Maggie, vs. Dr. Felix Marcial (who I thought was excellent). I walked into to my 6-month cleaning telling the hygienist and Dr. Maggie that after this visit I would probably see a dentist near where I live (Ballard) vs. trekking across town to Capitol Hill. When I moved away from Capitol Hill in 2005 I kept visiting Dr. Marcial because of his excellent work. Well, Dr. Maggie won me over and Im going to keep making the trip and give it a go with her.
Ive been a patient of this office since I moved to Seattle in 2011. Dr. Maggie truly care about my oral health. She took time to explain all dental needs. No upsale for whitening or any other procedures. The treatment plan was also explained clearly.I am so happy that when Dr. Marcial sold his practice that Dr. Maggie retained the previous staffs including my hygienist. Dr. Maggie is very professional and kind. I recommend this practice with no reservations at all.
In moving downtown several years ago, one of the reasons I made the move was to assemble a top notch healthcare team at my disposal. Dr Maggie Zhang is an important part of that team. Whether to take care of a last minute dental emergency, a dental hygiene appointment, or to plan my dental future, Dr Maggie and her team are there. Shout out to Nan, Dental Hygienist, second to none. Oh, did I mention that Im a wimp when it comes to pain and needles? They take this into consideration as well. They even have proprietary numbing cream they apply before needles! And youll find the front desk staff to be kind, considerate, and always smiling!
People are friendly and they take early appointment which helps me to schedule work after the dental appointment. I would recommend it to my friends!
I am so happy with my experience!!! Thank you so much for seeing me and for the excellent care!
The appointment went well, especially given I did not feel well. Both the doctor and hygienist made it all very easy and knew what they were talking about.
I went for a cleaning & evaluation this morning, and was impressed by the skill & attention to detail of everyone here. The front desk staff took the time to research & explain my insurance to me and create a plan that fit my budget. The hygienist and xray tech magically did their jobs without any of the painful jabs Ive had to suffer through at other dentists offices. And Dr. Zhang was great at listening to all my concerns and helping me prioritize solutions.I especially appreciate that they stayed focused on my health instead of my wallet. Im used to other dentists trying to sell me on the latest fad in expensive, needless cosmetics, or trying to do procedures that would be safer with a specialist, but they didnt hassle me with any of those things here. Dr. Zhangs professionalism & responsibility are a breath of fresh air.
I had been a patient of Dr. Marcial for years, and the practice recently changed to Dr. Zhang. I was seen in a relatively timely manner (within about 15 minutes of my appointment time), and I was done with my x-rays and cleaning within less than an hour of showing up. Melissa was really friendly and made me feel at ease, and it was great to meet Dr. Zhang - she talked to me at length and was clear about what work I needed done. Id recommend this place to my friends.
Did not push any product endorsements! Everyone from receptionist to dentist was friendly and helpful!
I was a longtime patient of Dr. Marcials and had more than a decade of positive interactions with him and his office staff (especially Nan - worlds best hygienist!). After learning that the office had changed hands recently, I was sad and disappointed, but trusted that Dr. Marcial would have only passed his practice to someone of the highest caliber, so I set up my first appointment with Dr. Maggie Zhang.In a nutshell, my experience was outstanding! I was pleased to learn that Nan was still my hygienist, and her work was thorough but gentle, as always. The front desk staff was helpful, polite, accommodating, and friendly - a 10/10! Most importantly, Dr. Zhang definitely lives up to the good words Id heard about her. She was gentle, friendly, listened (and heard) my comments and concerns, and clearly explained all aspects of my treatment plan. She truly seemed to understand my goals for dental health, and worked with me to develop thorough short and long-term plans for care. I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Zhang and her team, and look forward to a long and positive relationship to achieve my goals for my oral health and wellness.
Great service, friendly, very professional.
Dr Zhang is professional and friendly.
Very good experience.
