Dentists: READ THIS IF YOU WERE A PATIENT OF DR. KINTNER
Over the years, I referred a great many of you to Dr. Patrick Kintner, my beloved and now retired dentist.
Without a single exception, everyone who visited him came back to me reporting that so long as he was practicing they would not see anyone else.
He sold his practice a few months ago. I have been to see his successor. The experience was terrible. I spoke with my parents (both patients of Dr. Kintner) and they had similarly unpleasant experiences. My mom described her behavior as classic gold-digging. When I asked what she meant, she told me that the new dentist wanted to replace a gold filling because "it is old". This gold filling was my grandfather's work and my mom was pretty convinced that her own father would do his best work on his daughter. When she visited another dentist, the dentist straight-up said "this filling will never be replaced. It is old, but it is beautiful. This is work meant to last a lifetime."
Pretty sketchy shit.
I highly advise everyone who formerly visited Kintner to not even bother with his replacement.
Instead, see this guy: Dr. David Russell. His practice is near Dr. Kintner's, just off the Burke Gilman trail. you can call his office at 206-524-6116. His staff was incredibly friendly, he was funny and informative. It was a great experience.
