Dr. Lei has been nothing but kind and understanding. We have been knocking things off my treatment plan and that has this far included; wisdom tooth extraction, root canal, deep deep cleaning and soon to be cavities being filled. He and his Dental assistant Lexie are a huge reason on why I’ve been back and turning the health of my mouth around. Just be sure you are ready for some country music!

BEFORE I START IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT GOING HERE DO IT... YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER PLACE IN WASHINTON. IF I COULD GIVE DR. GREGORY DELGADO AND HIS TEAM MORE THEN 5 STARS I WOULD IN A SECOND. I was suffering from a infected tooth for days and days.. every place I went to told me my roots were too long and that I would need oral surgery. in my time trying to find a oral surgeon the pain become so bad that I went into "emergency tooth dr" in Vancouver. they were unable to get my mouth numb and even with nitrous I was still able to feel pain. after wrenching on my mouth for about 25 mins with no luck I ended up vomiting from the pain and wayyyyy to much nitrous.. after that the dr ended the procedure with my tooth still in my head and 10 times more pain and swelling then before... I had to go 2 days like that and was about to lose my mind... until the AWESOME PEOPLE at gentle dental heard my story and made me feel like they felt my pain... they made a special appointment for me to come in at a time they would not have normally have done a oral surgery /general anesthesia. FROM THE SECOND I WALKED IN I FELT LIKE I WAS AT A PLACE THAT WAS GOING TO REALLY HELP ME! everyone I talked to were VERY professional. THEY TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME AND TAKE IN MY POINT OF VIEW ON EVERYTHING IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH UP UNTILL THEN. I knew that I was in good hands and that everything was going to be taken care of from that point on... I cant explain how grateful I am to all the people who work at gentle dental.. YOU SAVED MY MOUTH! and stopped the pain! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! by far the BEST PLACE IVE EVER BEEN FOR DENTAL PROBLEMS I will be recommending everyone I know to come here for now on. THESE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU AND ABOUT HELPING YOU MORE THEN JUST FILLING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONEY. I AM BEYOND HAPPY WITH THE OUT COME. I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH THANK YOU ALL!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Doc was great! Zero pain and quick fix of broken filling that had been filled 40 years ago. He kept me entertained reminiscing about the old shows Love Boat and C.H.I.P.S. Lol

I have crummy teeth and landed at Gentle Dental after another dentist recommended a complex surgical extraction. Dr. Slater not only saved that tooth, he repaired another broken molar and replaced some fillings to restore function AND aesthetic. I've put off this restoration for nearly 5 years because of the cost, but Gentle Dental's up front estimates and reasonable prices made getting my teeth fixed easy, painless, and affordable. I can eat a cheeseburger again for the first time in years! Best dentist and staff ever.

As someone who hasn't been to a dentist in forever, I was hesitant to see a dentist because my teeth really needed cleaning and cavities filled. Going here, I had a great experience meeting the staff who were super friendly, non-judgey, and the dentist Jay Slater was very knowledgeable. He listened, was patient and best of all - provided me hope with what needed to be done, and what can be done. Michelle - his assistant was also nice and the whole place was a wonderful, friendly atmosphere which put me at ease. Gentle dental is indeed a great place and I no longer am hesitant to see them. I highly recommend them. :-)

Let me start by saying I've been extremely afraid of the dentist for years because of multiple bad experiences. It got to the point where I didn't have a choice but to make an appointment. From the very beginning gentle dentle has been amazing. Every single person I have interacted with here has been so wonderful in making me feel comfortable and having all of the answers to my questions. I will never switch dentists again. Because of the good experiences I've had here, I'm no longer afraid of the dentist.

I really liked the interaction of the staff with each other and patients. I will most definitely go back to the Grand Central office and staff.
