Joseph C Hwang, DDS

Dr. Hwang has an outstanding staff, the latest in technology and he sincerely cares about each patient. That’s a pretty rare combination.
Nothing but praise from this patient.

If you are looking for a skilled dentist and friendly/​efficient staff, Dr. Joseph Hwang and his team are AS GOOD AS IT GETS! It’s a no-​brainer 5-​star rating from me! My husband has been going to Dr. Hwang’s office for over 7 years, and my kids and I are going on our 2^nd year (we transferred from another clinic which was under my old plan). One can tell Dr. Hwang enjoys his craft and thrives on teaching good dental habits and creating beautiful smiles. He makes the time to create an individualized dental health plan, but also makes time to get to know the individual patient he is caring for! His administrative team and dental staff are all very personable and highly competent in their jobs too. We know them all by first name (which is rare for us with any clinic). One can tell that Dr. Hwang and his team love their jobs and value each other; their teamwork shines through in the excellent dental service they provide as a team. On top of that, Dr. Hwang gives back to the community and has sponsored several youth events and individual activities. My daughter was a beneficiary of such a sponsorship, when she tried out for a pre-​teen pageant– to develop her burgeoning interest in fashion and confidence-​building. It was so kind of Dr. Hwang to sponsor her; we knew he was not only a talented dentist but also a caring, down-​to-​earth individual! Our whole family enjoys our dentist visits because we know the team will ensure that each visit will be as pleasant as possible.

I absolutely hate the dentist. I have severe anxiety relates to dental work and white knuckle the chair the entire experience. Until I saw Joe an his staff.
They do everything possible to make you comfortable. They have noise canceling head phones so that u can listen to your own music and nitrous ready to roll. They also make you a part of the team, teaching you about your own teeth. When I had a question, Joe would take a pic or draw it out for me. No more mystery dentist visits!
I no longer want to run screaming from the chair the minute someone comes at me with a piece of floss. It really is because these wonderful people here!

I’m not so sure about all of these reviews. I sent my husband based on the wonderful Unilocal reviews and Dr. Hwang told him is seals were bad and he needed 8 cavities filled. My husband has had routine dental care over the years and ALWAYS takes very good care of his teeth. He is young without any prior dental problems. I understand Hwang to be very good and detailed, however, I felt like they were just trying to make money off my husband & his insurance. They ran all the insurance benefits and planned out the all the procedures to maximize the benefits, which I suppose was nice…
However, I was shocked and we got second AND third opinions, one included flying my husband 3000 miles to my trustworthy dentist back home. Both 2^nd and 3^rd opinions, said that his seals were fine, he had NO cavities, and they couldn’t find any reason he needed such work done.
I was very disappointed not to find great service here, however my husband has found a wonderful dentist downtown next to his work that has been great.

We were referred to Dr. Hwang by a close friend whose judgement we trust thoroughly. She said Dr. Hwang was very competent in helping her dental problems, but in addition personable and reasonable in his charges.
We have been very pleased to have our first appointment today on a «work in» basis for a toothache and the experience has been excellent, starting with the front desk, telephone reception, and the excellent service by Dr. Hwang himself.
We are believers that the tone of any small office is set at the top, and our experience with Dr. Hwang and his office personnel confirms this belief.

This is as good as it gets — I had a bit of a dental emergency a couple years back (hockey puck to the face) and Joe and his staff got me in immediately and helped me all the way through it — I now «commute» from Kirkland up to Joe’s office a couple times a year for my cleaning and such.
There is truly no one I could recommend more than this Family Dental office.
Thanks to you all!

This Dr. Hwang fellow… I don’t understand how this guy has so much energy and enthusiasm on a daily basis. You can obviously tell he takes great pride in his craft. It’s like an art form to him. He’ll get to brass tacks and more than likely find the gaping inconsistencies your previous dentist failed to address. I’m about to relocate 25 miles away but I will continue to come here to see him and the crew. It’s like therapy for your teeth.

I love Joe and the girls here. I went for a few years without going to the dentist after I moved to Seattle from Central Oregon because my former dentist in Oregon was fantastic. I didn’t want to be disappointed. Thankfully, Joe is the greatest at what he does, always doing the best work possible. He’s also personable… he was humming songs to Rammstein with me while working on my teeth. :) I will forever love this guy. Thanks!

Dr. Joe Hwang and his staff are great! Everyone in the office is friendly, knowledgeable, and it is obvious that they really enjoy what they do. Plus, I know they are considerate of my schedule because my appointments always start on time. I will definitely be back in 6 months for another check up!

Went in for a cleaning and exam after 2 years going without. Everyone there was extremely nice. The hygienist was very thoughtful and conscientious about my comfort level. Dr. Hwang spent a good amount of time examining my teeth and even took photographs of the problems he saw so I could see/​understand what was going on with my teeth. Lastly, the billing person was extremely helpful in making sure I’d know the cost of my follow-​up visits.
This is the first time I feel like I actually understand what is happening with my mouth! Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say I actually look forward to going to the dentist, but now I don’t dread it.

If you are looking for a dentist with a modern holistic approach to long-​term dental healthcare Dr. Hwang is your guy. I have had many dentists in my life, and most were okay, but none compare to the attention and skill I’ve received from Dr. Hwang and his team. Top to bottom these people are the best!

Dr. Joe Hwang has been my dentist for about 6 or 7 years, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fabulous dentist that does QUALITY work and won’t rip you off. Dr. Hwang is a perfectionist and I’ve had the best care for my teeth since I started seeing him. The office staff is wonderful, too! I can’t say enough nice things about this place and the people that work there. Denise is an insurance guru and will tell you exactly what to expect, how much you need to pay, etc. Did I mention that I drive all the way up to Mountlake Terrace (from Renton) for my dentist appointments, since I no longer live in the north end? Completely out of my way, but yes, he is that good.
