PATIENT REVIEWS

After reading all of the reviews and doing much research on the practice owner Dr. Harvey and her associate dentists Dr.Takasaki and Periodontist Dr. Lena Arvidson, I decided to reach out to Dr. Harvey personally. I know that seems a little un orthadox but I have learned how to make certain that I am utilizing my benefits and getting the best for the money I work hard for. Dr. Harvey called me back the same day. I explained to her what I have found with all of my research and expressed to her I was worried about the negative reviews until I realized a few of them may not even be real as they are from out of state and seem a little fishy. Those reviews would have completly turned me off to coming to her practice if I had not looked further into who she is and what she does. She is a teacher at University of Washington, she is kind, knowledgeable and great leader in the Dental world as well as a strong leader for women in general. She has that old school quality mentality. So often these days all the newer Dentists coming into the field opening offices are all about quantity how much they can get from each patient. When Dr. Harvey is more then generous in many cases because she wants your mouth to be healthy. I heard in her voice how passionate she is about dentistry and how much she cares for patients. I was intrigued. Wondering how in the world can this sweet amazing woman get those bad reviews. It boils down to possible miscommunication because the quality dental work and patient care are outstanding. I should know because I chose to make an appointment to see for myself what kind of care I would get. I am very happy I decided to come here. My whole family has been in already. Her team worked with me and helped my family utilize the benefits we pay for and work hard for before we lost them, as i have learned use it or lose it. I don’t know about you but I don’t like throwing money away. lol. Our family had the opportunity to see all three dentists. Dr. Takasaki (Dr. Sonia) is so kind, up beat, sweet, welcoming, warm, and Tech savvy. Dr. Arvidson served our country for many years in the military, Thank you for your service Doc. She is informative and empathetic to anxious patients. She does sedation for surgery and she is good at it. My husband got crown lengthening with her and my son will be getting his wisdom teeth out with her as well. Lastly the hygienists and assistants were the cherry on top. They care for you as your their family and treat you as such. Alexis (assistant) and Ashley(hygienist) have been with the practice for many years. T and Prianka are newer but fit in just perfectly. So all together as a family treatment we received was fillings, a root canal with crown lengthening, cleaning, exam, digital x rays, invisalign consult (clear retainer braces), and stellar care. Just a few more pieces of info. Dr. Harvey wrote a book on her journey should be out soon, sounds like a great read it is called Into the light forever, I believe. I cant wait to read it. Life lessons I have learned about dental insurance before even coming to Fremont Family Dentistry is… Insurance is not going to cover everything at 100%, If you don’t use it you lose it, Dental offices try their best to give you an estimate of what your out of pocket expense will be with the covered benefits information they collect from your insurance company and also bill the insurance as a curtacy, it is essentially your responsability to be sure all is correct by calling your insurance company.

I have been coming to Fremont Family Dentistry for almost two years, and I could not be happier. Dr. Harvey is great and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I had gum disease when I first came to Fremont Family Dentistry, and I didn’t even know it. Jen is the most amazing hygienist I’ve ever had work on my teeth. With her help, my gums are healthier than they’ve been in 20 years. I see her every 3 months, and I actually look forward to having my teeth cleaned. I am so thankful to have found Fremont Family Dentistry!

rI was seen at Fremont family dentistry a couple weeks ago Dr. Harvey greeted me with a nice smile and a warm handshake. I was nervous I have dental anxiety but she made me feel right at home she explained everything to me in terms I could understand. All in all I had a great experience and I’m excited to go back to get my cleaning which is crazy because I’m literally scared of the dentist. Looks like that’s changed thank you Dr. Harvey and alexis can’t wait to come in again And thank you for helping me face my dental fear

Dr.Harvey and her staff are wonderful!! I have the worst dental anxiety and I was 7 months pregnant when I went there. I had a dental emergency and I was having a hard time eating food and they had to fit me in. Even though I was such a pain to work on Dr.Harvey was so caring, nice, and understanding, made me feel right at ease. I had my deep cleaning with Ashleigh (hygienist) and she is incredible!! She is very kind and knowledgeable, great if you have anxiety about going to the dentist. I can’t say enough great things about Fremont Family Dentistry!!!

Staff at Fremont dentistry treats you like family. Great service, professional interaction, and flexibility in arranging visits are a few of the reasons I like going to this clinic. Dr. Harvey’s calm and peaceful demeanor makes going through the dental procedures super easy. On top of all of these, I enjoy receiving my little gift bag (toothbrush, travel size toothpaste, and dental floss) after each cleaning. So fun! Thank you so much!

Astounding care, truly stellar staff! Fremont Family Dentistry embodies the heart of community and neighborliness. From the very first phone call to schedule a new patient appointment, I so appreciated how present and kind and funny the receptionist was. She made me feel like an old friend, while also maintaining great professionalism. Turns out the entire staff is like this! When I go for appointments, I feel safe, I feel heard, and I feel welcomed, not just as a patient but as a unique person. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Plus, I love supporting a women owned and run dental practice! Dr. Harvey and Dr. Takasaki are exceptional at what they do, and so is their team.

I had an accident and I chipped my front teeth. I went to Dr. Harvey to repair them for me. It was my first time going to her office. She did mouth examination and told me that I have few Cavities on other teeth. She showed me the extend of the cavities in X-rays and took intra oral photos to show me how they look like clinically. so we decided to remove the caries and fill them up with tooth color filling material. She did a great job and my teeth are not sensitive any more. I had another dentist before and every time I had tooth color fillings I had sensitivity for few months after those fillings but this time with Dr. Harvey’s fillings I didn’t experience any sensitiveness in my teeth,which is great. My front teeth are now look beautiful and function well. I am so grateful that I find Dr. Harvey and I like to keep her as my permanent Dentist for ever. She is super skillful and knowledgable and explains everything before she start to work. She is kind and I feel calm when I am on her dental chair. I recommend her to every sensitive person. She is a five star dentist

Everyone at Fremont Family Dentistry (FFD) treat you like family. They are always professional helping with setting up payment plans, scheduling, and rescheduling. Natalie at the front desk is AMAZING! She has helped me more ways than I can count over the years. I am afraid of needles and she has calmed me, recommended ways for me to feel more comfortable, and explained procedures in ways I can understand when I have felt anxious or worried about costs. I recommend FFD to every person I know looking for a dentist in Seattle. If you’re even slightly unhappy with your current dentist, run (don’t walk) to FFD!

I was a little nervous going here after reading some of the reviews. I have a dental discount plan (no insurance) and this is the only dentist in town that takes my plan. However, I’ve now been going to this dentist for nearly four years and I have to say I’ve never had a single bad experience. The staff is really friendly. The first time I went in, they recommended some intense work due to gum disease (I hadn’t seen a dentist in years). I explained that I didn’t have insurance and they helped prioritize the work for me so that I could get what was necessary done first. There was never any pressure to have more work done than I wanted. Through the advice of my hygienist and regular cleaning, I was able to save a lot of money. I’ve had several fillings with them since my first visit and have never had any issues with the treatment I’ve received. As good as any dentist I’ve ever had, if not better.

I was a little nervous going here after reading some of the reviews. I have a dental discount plan (no insurance) and this was the only dentist in town who I could see with my plan. But I’m happy to say that I’ve found them to be incredibly helpful. My first visit went well. It was the first time I’d seen a dentist in years, and they had a number of recommended treatments for me. Once I explained that I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t afford everything all at once, the hygienist was able to prioritize the treatments for me and there was no pressure to get anything done that I didn’t need or want right away. Since then I’ve been back for three or four office visits. I’ve had a few fillings done (no issues there) and several cleanings. They have a friendly staff who remember me and have been able to accommodate my work schedule in making appointments. What more do you want in a dentist?

Never a fan of visiting the dentist but have nothing but great things to say about this practice.  From my first phone call, the staff has been truly professional from the front desk (Kate, I think) to the manager (Natalie) to Dr. Harvey–ALL outstanding and easy to deal with.  The attention to my individual needs was fantastic and will definitely be going back.  Highly recommend!

I have went to DR Harvey for three years now and since the first of the month I had relocated to kent wa and am happy to still go and drive to balled just to continue to keep her as my dentist because they are so nice and are willing to put my teeth first and working with me on getting what I need to keep my health because now that I have type 2 Diabetes and my teeth are important to keep my Diabetes in check.

I cannot recommend a better Dentistry. For anyone who is anxious about seeing the dentist, I can promise you will feel comfortable and well taken care of at Fremont Family Dentistry. I am from out of town, and I had an extreme pain in my front tooth the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Fremont was able to accommodate me that very Monday. It turns out I needed a Root Canal. They immediately told me my options, explained the problem and explained the simple procedure to me. I had it taken care of that day and walked out pain free and ready for the holidays. The entire process was made so comfortable by a friendly and caring staff. They treated me with a genuine and professional manner. All the employees wanted to be there, helping and doing their best job. The entire atmosphere was so friendly and pleasant to be in. This Dentistry is family owned by an amazing woman, who makes you feel at home in her business. For anyone nervous about trips to the Dentist, or just looking for a caring, professional Dentistry this would be the place for you. I take great pride in my smile, and Fremont Family Dentistry made me feel confident and at ease the entire trip. I cannot thank them enough for saving my front tooth and holidays!

Always friendly, always gentle. I have sensitive gums and don’t numb very well, so sometimes it takes a while. I have been going here since they opened their doors as I used to live in the neighborhood. But even after two additional moves and about 15 years, I still travel across the lake to see them every 6 months. I just recently did invisalign with them. I wish we had that instead of braces when I was a kid! Keep up the good work!

I had the pleasure of being treated at this practice during my short time working in the neighborhood. They took excellent care of my teeth,and all the ladies there were very gentle and mindful of my anxiety with getting dental work done. I had multiple repairs and a root canal,all done fast with perfect attention to detail. They are very caring people and I’m going to be taking much better care of my oral health in the future thanks to them!

I absolutely love this office! They’re are so friendly both on the phone and in person. Every person I’ve been lucky enough to have contact with has been the absolute best. I have been here numerous times and I have never seen anything less than smiling faces and chipper attitudes. I do have a special place in my heart for Amy, though. I was having a lot of gum inflammation on my left side and she suggested antibiotic injections. I have never felt better!! I didn’t realize it was so bad…maybe I figured it would just go away if I swished with salt water several times daily. Anywhooooo, Amy gave me these antibiotic injections (no needles, I just don’t know what else to call them–they go under your gums in the form of a gel) and my world was changed. I would recommend this dentist office to everyone. Thanks!!

Here in the big city, I feel lucky to have found a small caring family practice like Fremont Family Dentistry. Dr. Harvey and her staff are always friendly, gentle and competent. As a cash-pay patient without insurance, I can say their pricing is fair and reasonable. At Fremont Family Dentistry you are aren’t just a number, you are a friend, a neighbor and a valued patient. (I also see Dr. Koshy on the medical side of the practice, and she is great, too!)

I’ve been a dental patient of Dr. Harvey and her staff for over 7 years. Over that period, she and her assistant Robin have replaced all of my childhood metal fillings with beautiful porcelain, replaced one old poorly installed crown, installed one new crown, performed a root canal and various other smaller procedures. All of the work has been top notch. I can’t imagine letting anyone else stick there fingers in my mouth. The hygienists are great at being stern but friendly when telling me I need to floss more and not be so hard on my gums when I brush. And the office staff is always welcoming and helpful. Thank you Dr. Harvey and staff!

So you have extreme dentist fear? Then this is the place to go. I am a grown ass woman who, after making an appointment for a deep cleaning was shaking and sweating and even attempted to cancel my appointment. The women who work in the office are incredibly patient and empathetic. After a Valium, a playlist and a stress ball, I was barely able to get through the local anesthesia. The hygienist even held my hand and they kept reassuring me through the process, in a totally non condescending way. Ashley was very professional and gentle. I’m telling you guys I was CRYING in the chair based on past traumatic experiences, and I don’t think I could have gotten through it at another practice. I highly recommend them, especially for folks with dental phobia.

I have been a patient at this clinic for quite awhile.  All of the Docs, assistants, and hygienists are wonderful.  The care is top notch.  I had some issues with the former clinic manager on a couple occasions regarding scheduling, payments, etc. That being said, it hasn’t influenced my relationship with the clinic, especially since the manager has since left the practice.  Dr Harvey, Dr Sonja, Dr Lena, Ashley, Alexis and everyone else I have forgotten will take great care of your needs.  I am grateful to have this team navigating my path toward better oral health.

I must say before posting this yelp I was browsing through others and was baffled when I came across the bad reviews that said such heinous things. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Honestly. Go see for yourself before making a decision on those low reviews. FYI there is no Natalie in this office at least not since we have been going there. I am very particular about my dental care and my dental treatment as well as the care and treatment for my family. Ihave to say I love how genuine everybody in this office is. This is the first time that I actually felt people in the dental office truly genuinely out of their heart cared for me and my family. I can’t wait to have my in-laws come here. I feel like the way the dental offices are these days are all about money and all about quantity. This office is about the care and the quality I’m very satisfied with the service and the care that has been given to my family so I just want to say thank you to everyone in the back Ashley Dr. Lina the periodontist Dr Harvy with her kind heart and Quality wor I also had the pleasure of meeting Dr Sonia and my husband got treated by Dr Sonia he’s very happy with the work done and told me he felt cared for from both Dr Sonia and Dr. Lena. He also said he felt like he fit right in and has known the assistant Alexis for years.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Harvey for the last 5 years. I’ve had multiple cleanings, fillings, all wisdom teeth extracted & can honestly say that I am 100% satisfied with the work that they have done. I had a particularly tough extraction of a wisdom tooth and was near panic but Dr. Harvey was very gentle and reassuring throughout the procedure and it helped calm me down. I’m currently one year into my Invisalign treatment and I’m very happy with the results. She has made the experience much less intimidating & anytime I feel anxious or uncomfortable she has talked me thru it & explained just what is going to be happening and what I can expect. The scheduling & billing have been easy to deal with even when issues arise the staff in front is very easy to talk to and accommodating. I’ve had multiple insurance plans & even an HSA and they helped me out with all of them. In conclusion, I really feel that Dr. Harvey is the best health care professional I’ve ever had.

My whole family has been going to Dr. Harvey and her team for about six years, and I can’t recommend them enough. After moving to the east side last year, I thought we should find a dentist closer to home, but after going to another appointment, I was again reminded why we make the trek across the bridge. The staff is always helpful and patient, even when I show up with all three noisy kids in tow. The hygienist that usually works on out teeth is incredible. She has taken my squirrely, dental phobic kids (after being scared by previous dentists) and turned them into kids that can calmly sit still and have their teeth cleaning, x-rays, and exams done. She is patient, kind, and listens carefully to each of them, as does all the rest of the staff we’ve encountered. Dr. Harvey herself has done lots of work on all of us, and she has been amazing about working with my autistic kiddo especially. She’s always listened carefully to all my concerns and questions, and has graciously helped us out when we needed it. Parking is a little dicey (there isn’t much of it), and the waiting room is tiny and shared with the doctor’s office side of the business. I can’t recommend this place highly enough though. We’ll still be going to Dr. Harvey, Jen, and the rest of the crew until we move too far away to make to commute!

So helpful and efficient. I had a niece come to town for the holiday and she was in pain.  I called and got an appointment for that day and Dr Harvey went way above and beyond to get her taken care of.  Not only that, but she stayed after hours to complete a root canal so that my niece would not have to go somewhere else when she got back to school in Pullman.  Dr. Harvey took such a personal approach to the situation, knowing she did not have a car and it would be difficult for her to finish the process when she went back home.  It was an amazing experience with a dentist who really cared about the situation we were in.  We were able to enjoy the rest of the week, pain free and worry free.

I do not like going to the dentist. I know nothing about teeth except that they are pain in the ass that have to be taken care of. But if I have to go to the dentist, it will be to Fremont Family Dentistry. Dr. Harvey and her staff are as pleasant as they are courteous and efficient. Moreover, they explain things in such a way that you begin to actually understand what needs to be done and how best to care for your teeth. Most important, Dr. Harvey and her staff never talk down to you. Most dentists do, and I have found this to be the sign, in fact, of an inferior dentist. The work is done quickly at Fremont Family Dentistry, and the prices reasonable (actually, EXTREMELY reasonable when you consider the extraordinary quality of the work. Worth traveling a few extra miles if not right in Seattle for these people.

I came in to have a filling that fell out fixed, only to discover I had over 5 cavities! I was mortified, and nervous about having to spend that much time in the dentist chair, I have had bad experiences in the past. The dentist could not have been more thorough in her examination of my teeth. She set my nerves at ease as she walked me through her recommendations. Honestly, I had been neglecting my dental hygiene. We came up with a plan and they got me in THE NEXT DAY, unheard of as a new patient! All the staff in this office are lovely. What I liked most is that everyone told me what they were doing as they did it so there were no surprises, and they educated me about all kinds of things I didn’t know about my teeth and the ecosystem in my mouth. It made me excited to start taking care of them. Anyway, the vibe in this dental office is amazing, I honestly felt like I was hanging out with friends (very smart friends!). It was the best dental experience I had ever had (and I was there for 3 hours getting so much done). I actually want to go back and get my teeth cleaned with them, they do an intense cleaning. Seriously, who WANTS to go back to the  dentist!? I cannot recommend them more! Take it from me, I have been to over 10 dentists (had veneers and a ton of other dental work), you won’t find a better dental office, technitians, or dentist than here.

I had the most amazing experience at Fremont Family dental. Amy helped me the majority of the time and between laughing the entire time and feeling like I was just hanging out with old friends, she managed to help me get on a treatment plan that was perfect for my current situation (wisdom teeth). I recommend these guys to anyone who is looking for a chill, professional, educated and clean environment to have their teeth taken care of.

I have been coming to Fremont Family Dentistry for almost two years, and I could not be happier.  Dr. Harvey is great and the staff are so friendly and helpful.  I had gum disease when I first came to Fremont Family Dentistry, and I didn’t even know it.  Jen is the most amazing hygienist I’ve ever had work on my teeth.  With her help, my gums are healthier than they’ve been in 20 years.  I see her every 3 months, and I actually look forward to having my teeth cleaned.  I am so thankful to have found Fremont Family Dentistry!

Traveling from out of state with an infected tooth, I was successfully treated for my problem at Fremont Family dental. because of a seven day (including one weekend) Seattle schedule, all work-permanent crown removal, root canal, form fitting, and permanent crown replacement-had to be completed on an expedited basis. The work was completed on my last day in Seattle I returned to the East Coast with a permanent repair, no infection and no toothache. That is only part of the story. Based on the extensive x-rays taken to diagnose my condition, Dr. Harvey discovered additional infection caused by problems of adjacent bridgework. As result I was able to act on this advice with corrective dentistry back home. There’s more. Also while at Fremont the oral hygienist measured pockets of infection in my gums and corrected this with the best oral cleaning I can remember. At all times I was aware of a very professional team working together on my behalf. Finally, I came away with a much better understanding of what I have to do to maintain what for me as an important quality of life feature-the health and vitality of my teeth. Thanks Fremont Family Dentistry and the Dr. Harvey team.

Fremont Family Dentistry has been a little dental “heaven on earth” for me.  When I selected Dr. Maravash Harvey from my provider list 7 years ago I wanted her to pull all of my teeth and give me dentures so I would never again have to suffer the torture of dams. qauze, drills, hands, suction devices, and cold water in my wide open mouth.  I was sure I would die as I struggled minute by minute to prevent an ever increasing accumulation of fluids from slipping into my lungs and choking me.  I am still alive and every tooth has been saved.  I can’t say that I have come to love the process but my dentist has been kind, skillful, respectful and responsive to my needs each time I have visited. Dr. Harvey has built her practice on a genuine interest in the well-being of her patients, generosity and an admirable emphasis on family.  Over the years her hygienists, desk staff, and office managers have been consistently capable, friendly, helpful and happy with their jobs because they are supported and encouraged to do their best.  Dr. Harvey is flesh and blood; a real person.  I have been very pleased to get to know her and am grateful to have found a dentist I can trust to take care of my needs and the complexities of insurance benefits and bill paying.  I’m saying thank you in every way to Fremont Family Dentistry.

I have been going here for years and I continue to do so for one reason–Dr. Khajavi-Harvey. She is amazing. No matter how busy she is she always takes time to talk with you and to explore all options. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her profession. I always leave feeling well cared for and well educated. I appreciate Dr. Khajavi-Harvey’s honesty and I can tell that my well being is her top priority. Like some of the other reviews, I have had problems with the office in relation to my insurance, however, when there was a communication problem, they fixed it and did not charge me. It is good practice to always, no matter where you go, double check that the procedure being preformed will be covered by your insurance. Overall, I highly recommend Fremont Family Dentistry, especially Dr. Khajavi-Harvey!

I never write a review, however, Fremont Family Dentistry deserves the recognition. From Natalie, the Practice Manager, to Nicole at the front desk, to the dental hygienist, and the doctor that I saw – they’re all great. First, they use ZocDoc, the app, which made scheduling my very first apt super easy! Second, they called my old dental office in Boston and had my records/images sent over (saving me a 25$ processing charge had I requested them myself), took new x-rays (free of charge to me – as the ones that were sent were not legible), and fit me into a calendar filled day when I needed some work to fix a filling that was causing my bite to be off. Fremont Family Dentistry made my “not so favorite thing”, much more enjoyable. GO SEE THEM! They’ll certainly continue to get my business.

Dr. Harvey and her team are top notch. When asked who we use for dentist or orthodontic care, I always recommend the practice to all my friends! I went to Dr. Harvey this spring for the first time when I was told by my dentist, I needed to consider Invisalign. At the time my daughter was told by her dentist she needed a retainer. During our search for our orthodontic care we discovered Dr. Harvey. She was the only doctor that took the time to meet with us and discuss our options and the treatments. Plus she was the best price, which was a bonus. All the other offices we visited only sent their office staff to go over their recommendation, no options. My daughter and I started orthodontic care with them this spring. The doctors and staff have been so wonderful that we have switched to use them as our primary dentist as well. What is better than a one stop shop, especially one that is friendly and great with your kids. I have also changed my son’s dentist over to Dr. Harvey. She has such a great bed side manner with the kids and her staff is always kind and helpful!

I go to both the medical and dental side of this practise, and I’m thrilled with it. I’m a lousy patient, due to biology (hard time breathing through my nose) and past experiences (see other review…), and they’re great about it here. They’re willing to work with my doctor to get a Valium prescribed before my appointment, and while I don’t think it does much, I really appreciate the gesture, and the sensitivity to my anxiety. The work done has been solid, and I really like that I can call with questions from the safety of my own house, as opposed to sitting in the chair when I’m feeling panicky and wanting to bolt. The receptionist laughs with me when I spaz out and show up an hour early to my appointment, and they’ve helped me with insurance weirdness and to reschedule at the last minute when I’ve had to run out of town for work. I’m never going to look forward to going to the dentist, but it’s about as good as it gets.

I was in a bicycle accident this past summer and went to Dr. Harvey to get my upper four front teeth repaired. I had four veneers placed. I cannot express how pleased I am with the work performed and the professionalism of the staff. Dr. Harvey and her staff are top notch. Natalie the office manager is also awesome! I was also very impressed that they brought their lab in to perform custom, chair side color matching to ensure the perfect smile. I would highly recommend them and will be be referring all my friends and family if they are in need of a great dentist and office.
