Bellevue Park Dental

I went to Park dental for the first time last week and it was wonderful. I was scared to get my painful cavities fixed (I have very sensitive teeth) but it was absolutely painless. I couldn’t even feel the numbing shots! My teeth feel great. Plus the dentist couple is so kind and funny yet professional. I think I finally found the perfect Bellevue dentist!

I completely agree with one of the previous review. Dr. Park’s office is unethical and liars! Dr. Park is a contracted dentist with my insurance, that is the reason I chose him. My insurance covers 100% of the work I needed to do. When I came to do the procedure, I was provided an estimate for over $ 400. I was given an explanation that he doesn’t perform the type of crowns that are covered, and will do a different one that is not covered. Thus, I need to pay 100% of the cost!!! I had to leave his office. He is definitely doing some scam with insurance and doing unethical billing of his clients when the work should be all covered. Stay away from him!!!

In lotus bldg. Korean male doctor is main. Recently uw graduate dr. Hong joined.
I found them conscientious & proper.
Clean lounge with coffee tea and TV.
Closed on Wednesdays. Dr park is good with kids as he has his own.
Both doctors are surgical trained.
Overall they don’t make up stuff just to get paid.

I really like how Doctor Park and his crew do their job and I strongly recommend everybody who has problems with their teeth to have an appointment with Doctor Park. He did amazing job fixing my teeth, he always explains everything very clearly and makes sure that I understand that. Also, he teaches how to take care of the teeth to not only resolve problems with them but also to prevent problems.
With time I started trusting him taking care with my teeth. Visiting a dentist was always a nightmare for me before, but now it’s different. I just come to his office, lay on the chair and keep my mouth opened.
When I came to US my teeth were in very bad shape. I didn’t know how to take care of them properly and I didn’t like to brush them, because my gum was always bleeding when I did that.
My first visits to his office were complicated since I had very deep cavities, but Doctor Park was spending over his working hours to fix my teeth. Those visits were actually much harder for him then for me, because he was giving me anesthesia and I just had to lay in the chair, but he had to be very concentrated and attentive working on my teeth for 2 – 3 hours without any breaks.
After few visits I got regular habits of brushing my teeth, flossing them regularly after eating, my gum stopped bleeding and I actually started to like taking of them. Now I have much less problems with my teeth. Recently, we were even able to do a filling in the tooth without using anesthesia (for the first time).
I’m very happy that Doctor Park is my dentist and I thinks he deserves 6 stars.

I’m a FAN!
Dr. Park is gentle, precise and attentive to my major anxiety with Dentists and needles. He talked me through everything and even gave me options to relax me during the procedure. I was a mess!
He’s been the only one I’ve referred people to go and see.

The worst dental clinic I ever been in!
Liars! DR. Park is a total liar! He said my insurance covers the cleaning and exam 100 percent, which it does but they send me a bill that I owe $ 60!
I gave them a chance two times, last year I paid $ 76 for a filling the day of the appointment, 3 months later they send me a bill for $ 76 which I paid and have prof with my bank statement. If I paid cash or didn’t have prof I would of owed them $ 76 again!
Total liars!

I have been using Dr. Park for over 1 year and I am a happy customer with his work to keep my teeth healthy (xrays, cleaning, crown). Dr. Park has always given me all the explanations in details about status of my teeth and suggest reasonable options for any necessary works. The office has very nice and comfortable atmosphere and all the staffs are kind.

After reading the other reviews on here about how empathetic, gentle, patient and kind Dr. Park is, I’m left scratching my head. He is definitely very thorough and meticulous, but gentle, patient and kind he is not. He had no empathy what so ever when he was poking and prodding my teeth. He actually appeared very frustrated and somewhat angry when I would say that it hurt when he poked and prodded.
At the end of the cleaning I mentioned that there was one area between my teeth that I would appreciate him going over again a bit and he got very upset with this and when he finally did go over the area — he was so aggressive with the tool, even ignoring me while I made distressed sounds of pain that after I came home I saw that I had a red mark on my gums where he had gone over them. I thought it might be some leftover food, but after swishing with water and gently touching that area, I realized that it was actually a small wound on my gum.
Also, I felt that since I had a living social voucher I was treated differently than the other patients that were there. He took the time to chat with them before they left. As I was leaving, he did not even acknowledge me and completely ignored me meanwhile talking with the other patient who looked like he was a regular. There were some other things that made me uncomfortable like the repeated questions of whether I had a regular dentist, amongst other things.
The parking lot is a nightmare to maneuver out of. My car is not that big, a medium sized sedan, but there was so little space to back out that I bumped the back end of my car and scraped off a good chunk of paint on the enclosure that was made out of rocks and was so close to the parking spaces that I don’t know how cars bigger than mine even manage to get out without completely damaging the back bumper.
On a positive note, the dental assistant was very nice and empathic and made me feel very comfortable. All in all, a mixed experience. I’m still somewhat shaken though from how rough and aggressive he was with my teeth. I usually hesitate to do a negative review when I have had a horrendous experience, but this was an experience that I would not want anybody to repeat.

Dr. Alex Park and his staff are very courteous. They did a good job cleaning my teeth. They did not suggest any unnecessary procedures. I was in and out very fast. I would recommend this clinic highly.
Cons:
They advised me multiple times to buy Sonicare toothbrushes

Great first impression. Valerie and Dr. Park are knowledgeable and very considerate of patients’ time/​money. Will be going for my 6 month check up!

I got the Groupon for my Mom for an xray and cleaning. She had been having some tooth pain and without dental insurance, you know it’s going to cost an arm and a leg! Dr. Park was thorough in explaining that she will need a root canal. Valerie was very patient and helpful in pricing out everything for us. She was able to give a significant discount considering my mom didn’t have insurance but unfortunately was still higher than what another dentist was able to offer. But as far as customer service, Valerie is amazing!

had a living social coupon for annual xrays and cleaning. Clean and peaceful atmosphere. everyone very professional. Dr. Park explained my issues clear. No pain or discomfort. privacy very much respected, and upon leaving I was informed of payment arrangement for my future dental care which I will definitely be interested.
overall great dental clinic and I highly recommended.

My experience here was great! The location was pretty convenient and the staff was friendly. Dr. Park was very empathetic with me as a patient. Unlike other dentists I’ve seen, Dr. Park was transparent with the process and always informed me the reason behind everything. He would answer any question I asked him and took care to make sure I understood what he was doing. It’s true that he is very informative and gentle and made me feel like I was the only patient in the office. He is a wonderful and caring dentist! I’m only in the Bellevue area for the summer but wish Dr. Park is my dentist back home on the East Coast. I highly recommend others to Bellevue Park Dental and Dr. Park!

Went here because I had a groupon. The front desk was really friendly to me and even took me in earlier than scheduled because I got there too early and needed to go to work as soon as I could. Dr. Park was very gentle and quick. He showed me my x-​rays and actually explained to me what was going on and what I can do to prevent it. Nice, peaceful atmosphere. Great experience overall.

All the staff and clinicians are friendly, knowledgeable, competent. Valerie, a front desk lady, was especially personable. Dr. Park was thorough with his explanations of my teeth/​gum x-​rays and was meticulous/​patient/​gentle with the rest of the examination and procedures. When he detected a cavity, I trusted him enough to schedule another appointment right away, which they were kind enough to do so the same day of my cleaning/​exam/​xrays. Knowing I didn’t have insurance, Dr. Park even gave me a discount without altering quality of care. That shows a doctor who puts his patients first. My conclusion: After some searching, I think I’ve found my new dentist! I highly recommend this clinic. You’ll feel relaxed and comfortable.
