Wiley David, DDS

BEST. DENTIST. EVER!
I have been a patient of Dr. Wiley’s for almost two decades. His quality of work, attention to detail, and patient care goes far beyond any other medical professional I have ever worked with. He is a talented dentist, and a really nice guy. I am so thankful to have him as my dentist.

I’v been going to Dr Wiley for more than 5 years now. Always the best service and great friendly staff.

Throughout my life I’ve been terrified of going to the dentist — a fear that actually led to some otherwise unnecessary dental interventions over the years. Thanks to Dr. Wiley I don’t dread those visits anymore. He’s the best, most relaxed and supportive doctor I’ve ever had. Our family of four (including two teenage daughters) has seen him for more than ten years now, and his care has been consistent. If you’re looking for a great dentist with a friendly staff, I recommend Dr. David Wiley

I’ve been going to Dr. Wiley for more than 10 years. Maybe that says it all, but I’ll keep going.
He is friendly, sensitive to any fears or pain you may have, and extremely skilled with the needle and drill. I can’t remember ever experiencing pain from any procedures he’s done on my teeth.
The equipment is modern. The office is groovy. If you’re having a long procedure, you can watch a movie with their movie goggles.
The hygienists are very good, and VERY KID FRIENDLY. (Any kid who’s afraid of the dentist will love Vonda. She’s a goofball but gets the job done.)
His whole staff is personable yet professional, and a few have been with him for as long as he’s been my dentist. That says a lot about him as an employer.
The office is just off NW 23^rd (on Flanders), but it has a parking lot, which helps in that neighborhood.
If you’re looking for a new dentist, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Wiley.

Seriously? I’m giving a freaking DENTIST a five star review?
If you are like me you are asking yourself that question right about now.
It’s true, though. I really am.
Okay, first of all? I am terrified of the dentist. I don’t know why, I really don’t. I do have some kinda scary memories from childhood that occurred at the dental office but I’m not sure that is really enough to warrant this level of apprehension.
My trick over the last ten years has been to swallow a valium the night before ((to help me sleep)) and one on the morning of my appointment. ((To drown the fear.)) It works okay and it’s a nice tradition.
Doctor Wiley, though? None of that. He ((and, mysteriously, the rest of his staff)) missed his calling working at the crisis line. He is sedative enough: calm, patient, and gentle and caring.
He communicates well with everyone on his staff, explains EXACTLY what is happening all the time and really, really listens.
Also? He’s VERY good looking.
At one point during my last visit I actually started to feel suspicious because I really felt cared for. ((Which, maybe, just exposes some of my own personal insecurities and neurosis… but whatever.)) How often does that happen in any kind of medical environment?
Of all of the ((admittedly few)) reviews that I’ve shared on this site I really hope this one reaches someone. Someone who, like me, has dental fear, who values clear communication from a medical professional, and who wants to have a positive experience with their dentist. Go see the man, you’ll be glad that you did.
