“Dr. Thomas and his team have managed my dental care for over a decade and I couldn't be happier with how I've been treated. Highly recommend coming in to see him for anyone in need of dental care.”
Betsy Tutland
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“Dr. Thomas is an amazing dentist. At both his Mercer Island and Kirkland offices the staff is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Thomas has been my husband’s and my dentist for over 20 years and has done exceptional dental work. He makes his patients feel at ease with his caring, positive and fun personality. My grandchildren also see Dr. Thomas and he has an amazing way of helping them to feel comfortable and thus, cooperative. Dr. Thomas has the highest medical and ethical standards. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Thomas for any dental procedure.”
Peter Christian
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I did not have a dentist in the Seattle area and choose Thomas Dentistry because they were close and nearby. Boy, did I strike gold! I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I needed some work done to get clearance for a other medical procedure. They were so great in getting me set up and expediting my treatments. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I can highly recommend them for your dental work.”
Vanessa Hoffman
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“This was my first dental visit and I must say they were definitely unorganized as their X-ray machine kept freezing the images delaying my appointment and they’re not put together. The manager Carmen told me I was going to have to pay a $70 balance. Which I completely agreed on no problem. I got a bill for $140 and was never told I had a $50 co-pay on top & they don’t use silver filling so I had to pay extra for a white filling. I was not told about any of these extra charges. The manager Carmen hung up on me over the phone without trying to fully explain everything and was very rude to me. I would not recommend this dentist because they are not truthful and they want you to pay double your bill so please be careful.”

“The best place!!! Great dentists!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
Ronald Folse
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“I’vy been a patient with Dr Troy for fifteen years and have always been impressed with him and his entire staff. I am 86 years old and was hesitant to make my visit, but his whole staff used the best practices to insure the safety in the office. Unfortunately , I will be moving to California ima month or so and will have to find a new dentist , and hope that they will be as good as Dr Thomas and his staff.”
Mary Berry
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Very incompetent doctor dr. Thomas is after money. Don't believe anything he is saying. Other doctors are all recent college graduates with no experience. Don't trust them. Get a second opinion or just go some place else get your teeth done.”
Megan Cosgrove
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“This is the best dentistry in the PNW! Molly at the front desk is so kind and always makes me feel like one of their VIP clients. The dental hygienists are all kind and Doctor Thomas is a straight shooter. Both myself and my Mom visit this office and couldn’t recommend it more!”
Bill Sharpe

“Very happy with the prompt service. I would highly recommend Thomas Dentistry!”
Elaina Sh
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Went to that office last year to get a crown on implant and Dr. Thomas did the ugliest crown possible. Shape and height looked completely different from natural tooth I had in that place before. He did not even try to fix it. This year my new dentist confirmed that the crown should have been done completely different but now Im stuck with this crown for a while because it will cost a ton to re-do it since that is a dental implant crown, not just a regular crown. I guess I missed the first red flag when they said they do root canals and extractions too. Of course, why even going to roots canals specialists and oral surgeons if You can get a “buffet of services” at Dr. Thomas! Also Molly at the front desk is the rudest receptionist I ve even seen, billing office could not get the numbers right and overcharged me for about $800 then refunded but can this office be more unprofessional and thirsty for money?!!”

“I love coming here & I’m always greeted with smiles. It truly makes me feel great that the staff remembers my name & even though I visit every six months for my cleanings, our conversations pick up right where we left off. Marna, Rosie & Dr. Thomas are THEE BEST! I’d leave ten stars if I could.”
