Meridian Dental Care - Puyallup (WA)

2 /5 Amanda Bohl: Mixed feelings because I just had my worst dental experience ever in this office. My first two experiences with their office were fantastic. The staff is kind. It’s why I felt confident in booking all my dental work that I’ve been putting off.. But… 1. My medical history wasn’t well considered when selecting my sedation for a long procedure. And it was poorly communicated to me. I also had to ask them about it 2 days before my procedure. It seemed like they had completely forgotten about it. Pretty sure I wouldn’t have had any sedation if I hadn’t asked. 2. It took a combination of my own personal medication and their prescription to get me sedated enough that I could deal with having the procedure done. So now I’m short on my sleep and anxiety medications. 3. I had to pay a lot of money to be “monitored” during the sedation when they use a common bedtime medication for their sedation. When I was previously prescribed this medication for sleep, no one came to my home to monitor me in my sleep. 4. When I arrived the hygienist was surprised they only gave me 3 pills instead of 4, which is what they normally prescribe. She clearly stated this is less than what they normally give patients. 5. A cap was being placed over one tooth, but I wasn’t really told what that meant. The (what I’m guessing is a temporary) cap fell off my tooth a couple hours after getting home and it caused major panic. I hadn’t realized they were going to shave the entire tooth down the way they did. I’m not ever sure how I’m supposed to care for it. I would expect a little information about what’s happening and how to take care of it since they can see I’ve never had anything like that done before. 6. They have no way to help patients with anxiety in office. Everything is outsourced. They will just ask you to reschedule, which just doesn’t work for most people these days. I’m terrified for part 2 of this dental work (have the permanent cap put on)

5 /5 Chimene Ehli: I have to admit I always have anxiety when going to the dentist. On 1/17 I had an appointment to have a filling fixed. I honestly am so amazed the dental hygienist and dentist must have magical powers because wow! Pain free, quick and they were both so attentive. A++++ THANK YOU!

5 /5 Reynolette Ettienne: Ive been a patient here since 2019, and honestly, I have nothing negative to say about my experience, care, and the staff. As a military spouse, having to find a new provider every time we move can be frustrating, but thus far, my experience here has been nothing short of excellent. Granted, I have (and never have had) cavities, fillings etc., the most I need during a visit is a cleaning, and Im appreciative that they let me know which areas to focus on more and also encouraged a switch to an electric toothbrush last year or so. We usually joke that Im likely one of the easiest and quickest patients when I come in every 6 months. I highly recommend their office if youre in the Puyallup/South Hill area.

1 /5 Taylor Camacho: I came in for the first time in 10 years last week (this was my childhood dentist before I moved away for 10 years) for a limited exam and I had no prior poor experiences, so it was an easy choice to schedule here. And my experience with the staff (not the dentist) were all lackluster and lacking in customer service... If you have the choice to spend your money elsewhere, you should, because they certainly dont care if you end up being a patient there.

5 /5 Jennifer Midlo: Dr. Hobson ROCKS! He is so patient and kind. His compassionate care and attention to detail to the dental work he provides is appreciated beyond words.
