Extremely pleased with the dental care provided by Dr. Hal Kussick! The entire team is welcoming, and Dr. Kussick's expertise is evident in the thorough and attentive approach to each appointment. Clear explanations and a friendly demeanor make dental visits stress-free. Whether it's a routine check-up or a specific dental procedure, Dr. Kussick and his team consistently deliver exceptional care. I confidently recommend Dr. Hal Kussick for quality dental services.

The person who has an unreasonable fear of the dentist? That's me. I'm your guy. The staff here were wonderful, and really took care of me and made sure to check in and work with my nerves. They do have state of the art equipment which was very nice to experience including a wonderfully detailed camera so you can see parts of your mouth that you wish you never have.
Dr. Kussick, Jay (hygienist), and the support staff were all so caring and very educated on everything from top to bottom.
Everything from the setting the appointment online (very easy), the communication before, during, and after the care was top notch. The paperwork at the end of it all was simple to read and made sense to me with a treatment plan for what I am after (pearly whites like a movie star baby), with costs neatly laid out and everything. For having such an unreasonable fear for the dentist, this was such a nice experience, and I will highly recommend the Team here to anyone with my fear or not, they will take care of you!

As someone who was looking for a new dentist, I contacted them because the reviews were very good. They offered me an appointment and directed me to their website to complete my new patient forms, which I did same day. When I reached out to them later to see if they were able to contact my old dentist to get my records, they told me I didn't have an appointment, that the time they had given me was already filled and to call to request an appointment. I'm not sure they would have told me that I didn't have the time they offered me if I hadn't emailed them to check-in about my records.

When I called, they told me they had enough info to reach out to my dentist, but that they had not, and that they wanted to do full xrays, which I objected to as I had already had xrays. When we couldn't find a time that worked after a couple of suggestions, the person on the phone recommended I look somewhere else, which I will be doing.

Hal is the best. Took care of me last minute, staff also amazing. I could go on and on but look no further if you are in SLU or Bell Town. Hal even rides his bike to work!

I just moved to Seattle and one of my biggest fears was not finding a good dentist.
I found him!
Dr Kussick proved to be well educated, kind, and with excellent dental skills.
The mouth is a very small place to work and Dr Kussick managed with dexterity to give me painless, precise dental treatments.
His assistants seem happy to work with him and reflect his standard for excellence.
I can highly recommend Dr. Kussick if you are looking for a good dentist.

I have gone to a lot of dental offices and I'm happy most of the times but I have to say I have mix feelings with this dental office.

Pros : it's in SLU so it's very easy to get to. They have this TV screen for you to watch movie when you have your teeth cleaned, which is a great idea.

Cons : I'm in between 2-3 stars but I give this 3 stars because of doctor Jea. I had a deep cleaning session with her and she had to do all the work by herself with no assistant but she was very gentle, attentive and she was so kind to check up on you the next day to make sure things were ok. I'll give her 5 stars.

The 2 stars is sadly for Dr Kussick. I came back for the second session of deep cleaning and it was done by him, the experience was not very positive. First, he injected some numb medication too roughly on my gum that it really hurt. I had this done many times before and other doctors are just much more careful and gentle. Dr Kussick was rough. To make it worse, he had an assistant to work with on my teeth and he kept chatting with the assistant during the session. I hope Dr Kussick knows that's it's one of the top pet peeves for most people. It's so simple, if you work on someone's teeth you don't chit chat, other than talking to your patient. The job was done on my teeth quite quickly and I didn't feel it's the same quality with Dr.Jea's work. His assistant later cleaned my teeth as the last step and the job was also poorly done. I left with residue left on my teeth. Overall my second teeth cleaning session was done without attentiveness, also it felt like a business transaction only, just to get things done/over with. I'm disappointed. It's normally hard to go wrong with dentists. So I'd say I would not come back, but if you do come here, ask for Jea.

Have you ever heard about ACID BURN from a dental visit? I've not till it happened to me recently.

I went in for simple front teeth filling replacements. During the procedure, I noticed some liquid dropped on my face while a lot of splashing and drilling going on. I didn't feel much since my face was numbed for the treatment. During the break, I asked the assistant to wipe the liquid of my face. She done so with a wet tissue and no word was mentioned about what happened to my face. Mr Kussick came in and completed the procedure. Still no words mentioned about my face. I found out only after looking into a mirror with a total shock! Not till then Mr. Kussick started by saying acid split sometimes happened and blamed that my skin was TOO SENSITIVE in reacting to it. REALLY!! Did he just mention it's ACID!! He tried to make me feel it's my skin problem not because of his careless behavior. Not until I asked for discount, they started apologizing. I still paid a big portion of the service. Now I am walking around and go to meetings with a burn on my face while having the emotional scarcity of a scar on my face. Not to mention the cost of special care and medication needed in the following weeks.

Horrible experience. Be aware!!

Dr Kussick is a fantastic dentist who doesn't compromise on standards. He is a perfectionist in every way and his team of dental hygienists & staff are all super friendly. The clinic is new and clean and I have already recommended this place to a few friends. The best part -- their pricing is very fair compared to some of the others downtown.

I'm pretty much a veteran of this office at this point and I can be honest to say that I actually kind of looked forward to going to the dentist because everyone here is wonderful and so accommodating.
Stay awesome dental 888 and definitely keep this place in mind if you work/live in SLU

Excellent experience overall, with easy scheduling, a top notch staff , a brandnew office space with modern modern equipment [I'm used to older offices with wear and tear and dated gear].

The cleaning was fast, painless and professional. They explain everything, including the tools used and how they work.

Dr. Kussick then looked over every x-ray, in detail, explaining what they look for and how to resolve any issues that came up.

Very thorough!
