    Cleaning, exam and x rays went great. They did not keep me waiting a long time and worked efficiently without unnecessary pain. The front desk, dental assistant, hygienist, and dentist were all nice and good at their jobs. Hopefully everything will go well with the procedures too.

    Mark was very professional and helpful with his advice. I had no problems with the cleaning by the assistant. From booking to actually going to the office, the overall process was smooth. Availability was tough to find as a new customer (had to book two months in advance) but once in the system, it's easy to book the next appointment in advance. The office also provided many reminders by call and text.

    No complaints here. The staff was personable, friendly, and extremely professional. Alanna, my hygienist, took the time to explain what she was doing at every step of the visit, and made sure that we were on the same page. The equipment was new, clean, and I have no complaints.

    Sound Dentistry Seattle and Dr. Waind were great. They worked with me to reschedule my appointment when my plans changed, were courteous and good at explaining what was happening, made scheduling follow ups easy, had a clean office in a convenient location, showed me the X-rays and pictures showing where and why I (unfortunately) needed fillings, and also let me pick what to put on Netflix while they were working on me. I hadn’t done a great job of brushing recently which has made me scared to go to the dentist but Dr. Waind and his staff were very welcoming and made the whole process stress free.

    Easy to set up an appointment and everyone in their front office were super friendly and helpful! I had some trouble getting to the office -- it's inside a large office building. But the front desk folks easily talked me through how to find them! I have a hard time with dental work and everyone who worked on me was very cognizant of it and worked hard to make me comfortable!

    Dr. Waind's office got me in quickly as a new patient. All of the staff were extremely friendly. I really appreciated all of the COVID precautions that they were taking in addition to being a good intake visit for a new patient. X-rays etc were very modern and thorough. Also parking was very straightforward despite being right downtown.

    Probably the best dentist. Excellent work I could not be happier with the results and the staff there is very friendly and great too. If you are looking for a great dentist in Queens this is the one to go to. I will definitely be going back in future for my dental needs I only have great things to say about them.

    Just had my first appointment and the bureaucracy was handled very efficiently, spent maybe 3 minutes at the counter. Dental nurse was just the right amount chatty – just enough to be friendly without forcing me to talk with mouth full of dental hardware. I've met the doctor just for a few minutes to discuss treatment. Other than everything being on-point, I can't say much.

    I’ve been in Seattle 3 years, struggling to find a great dentist. Finally found one! The front desk associate graciously looked up my insurance information because I did not have my card handy. The hygienist was very kind and explained each of her process, which is something that’s never been done with previous dentists. She made me feel very comfortable through the entire process. Finally, Dr. Waind is absolutely the most attentive dentist who takes time with the exam. I don’t recall any dentist that took as much care and attention to details as he did. He asked very important questions regarding my previous care, and was very willing to work with my orthodontic timeline to get filling work done through him. I feel like I’ve finally found my dentist!!

    Laid back yet professional, really modern equipment made this visit efficient and minimally invasive. The staff was friendly and made the whole experience surprisingly pleasant for a trip to the dentist. Both the hygienist and Dr Waind were very careful to make sure I didn’t have any concerns about my teeth and that everything I needed or wanted was addressed.

    I have had several bad BAD experiences at previous dentists so I always walk in to a new appointment on guard, but Dr. Waind's staff was so caring, and patient. The hygienist was very concerned for my comfort and made even my LEAST favorite parts of the dentist (that gum thing where they poke you and say "212" or whatever) VERY managable. The doctor himself was very kind and listened and was conservative about his suggestions for my teeth upkeep.

  • I can't wait to go back.
    Reviewed on April 14th, 2018  •  Verified patient
    I have a very sensitive gag reflex where I always struggled to have my molars cleaned. It's so bad that I couldn't even have the x-ray device put in my mouth for the initial exam. After 3 years, I finally gathered up enough courage to get my teeth cleaned. Sherry, one of the hygienists, used a technique called "scaling" that cleaned my teeth just as well and didn't set off my gag reflex at all. I had been anxious all week for my teeth cleaning appointment and walked out so relieved!
