KidSmile Dental

"Had to wait over 2 hours for my son's appointment and then they put more crowns on his teeth then they told us. Also didn't even give us a choice on the type of crown and put the metal crowns in. They not only failed to inform of us all the work they were doing to my son but made us wait an ungodly amount of time for our appointment, I've never had to wait that long for a dentist appointment. Shame on them for not informing the parents all the work they were doing. This is malpractice and a lawsuit if I really wanted it to be. Legally you have to inform the parent of all the work your doing not part of it. We were told only 4 temporary crowns but they put in 8 all together. Will never take my son here again."

"Our son has major challenges, including autism, sensory processing issues, anxiety, problems with proprioception, and low muscle tone. Plus, he HATES the dentist. And he’s big (5’8.5” at 12 years old). But he needed extensive dental work done. Knowing it would be tough, we scheduled him for general anesthesia. Although the wait was difficult (we were supposed to checkin at 10:30am, then bumped to 12:30pm, and he didn’t go back until 1:45) that really doesn’t matter compared to how the staff handled everything that came next. Walking back willingly, our son got stuck at the doorway. Then it got really tough. The staff (and especially the anesthesiologist) were AMAZING!! They were patient, understanding, flexible, creative, and listened to us and our son really well. They were also very gentle. At one point, as we were considering different options, the anesthesiologist said he was trying to consider what he would do if it was his son. That statement reflects the heart with which this team approached a very difficult and complicated situation. We have been going to KidSmile Dental for fifteen years, since before our youngest son was born. Dr Joel Blake has been caring for our kids’ teeth for years, and has worked with our son on multiple occasions. This was our first experience with Dr Ryan, and we were delighted to discover he’s gracious and patient, just like his uncle. If you have kiddos with challenges, finding a dentist can be really tough, I know. Our experience at KidSmile Dental has been excellent. We are very pleased with Drs Blake and Ryan and the staff at KidSmile Dental."

"It is my delight to share that Dr. Joel Blake and his staff are amazing. All five of my children (Alex, Melana, Vialeta, Leo and Grace) enjoy every visit at Kids Smile Dentist Clinic. My family has benefited from this professional friendship for more than 13 years. We are thankful and blessed they oversee our dental needs. Kids Smile Dental Clinic, thank you for the friendly service and competent work. What a nice addition your clinic is to our Spokane area community!"

"Our first visit went really well. My daughter felt comfortable and everyone in the office was kind and welcoming."
