Jaime Lee, DDS

Dr Jamie Lee has taken great care of my teeth for the last 5 years. I had been out of the country for a few years and away from regular dental care. A friend recommended her and I’m still grateful for that introduction. She fixed the problems I came in with and I have been very happy with her work. I highly recommend her.

I would not recommend this dental practice to anyone unless they are planning on going receiving cosmetic dentistry. I went to this dental practice for several years and they constantly attempted to push unnecessary and expensive procedures with almost the same fervor that they placed on my dental health. At every visit they told me that i «needed» veneers (which would have cost close to 10k) and never truly listened when i said no. Although the staff were friendly and the cleaning’s and minor procedures i received seemed to be high quality, the negative high pressure environment will keep me from ever recommending this practice to anyone. I would strongly caution anyone from ever going to this place under any circumstances – it took me too long to realize that. Look elsewhere.

Today it was my first visit and everybody was super nice and friendly. I had a ton of questions and they gladly answered all of them. Very happy with the cleaning and the exam, you can tell they take the time to do things right and it feels like a very good choice to me. I will be back soon!

I was a patient of Dr. Mobley, who retired and turned his patients over to Dr. Lee. They immediately got rid of his long-​time hygienist, who was my favorite. Every time I went in they tried to upsell me something: deep cleaning, filling replacement, etc. They tried to bill my dental insurance for some of the procedures I had and the insurance wouldn’t pay because they were deemed unnecessary. They called me literally 11 times in two months to «remind» me I was overdue for a cleaning, even though I told them again and again that I would call them. I finally got so tired of all the pressure that I went back to my old dentist, the one I had before Dr. Mobley. I never had bad dental work from Dr. Lee (like some reviewers have reported) but I felt like I was a source of income for them, not someone they knew and had a personal relationship with, and that is one of the most important things to me. After a while, the phone calls felt like harrassment.

I went to Jaime Lee for many years but got tired of the constant pushing of products and «preventative» services. They were always kind and friendly but I go to the dentist for a cleaning, not to be sold products. When I decided to switch dentists, they called and harassed me for weeks to find out why I left them. I guess I should feel flattered that I meant that much to them.

Dr. lee was my (sister’s) orthodontist for 3+ year. When my sis went to see another DDS for a general check up we found out that she would lose her front 2 teeth within 5 to 10 years. She couldn’t belive so went to other dr. and they said the same.
Her front teeth looked ok but the root had not moved at all. She had to start all over again, three more years.
how sad… how lame. beware.

Been here for a cleaning and was in and right out very quickly. I have never liked going to the dentist so I really appreciate when the visit is very short and streamlined.
No complaints; the staff was super nice and accommodating and it’s easy to make an appointment through them with my slightly weird schedule.
Definitely recommend!

Very expensive and once they have your money they do not bother to follow through on the service for which you have paid. For instance, having been fitted for a mouthguard over a month ago I am still waiting for the mouthguard. This should have taken a week. They ignore my phone calls and I have been ripped off for $ 500. Meantime the bruxism has gotten worse from all the stress!

What a greedy little dental office!
I just found out from my dental insurance company that Dr Jaimie Lee’s receptionist charged me for an office visit ($ 70) for the appointment I had to go into due to the work Dr Lee screwed up on. Her implant crown failed, and caused a huge pool of gum bleeding where an implant post was placed. I expected that emergency follow-​up visit to be free as it was Dr Jaimie Lee’s fault. I am REALLY MAD AT THIS dentist office now. How unethical for them to charge my insurance when I suffered from an iatrogenic mistake. I’ll never go back to this office, EVER.

I think Jaime and Evergreen Family Dental are great. I went here for several years but then had to stop going because I changed jobs and they were not on my new insurance plan. I’ve changed jobs again, and they are once again covered by my insurance so I made an appointment right away. I have tried several dentists in the Seattle and Eastside areas over the years, and this is by far my favorite place. I haven’t needed any major dental work, only routine cleanings and sealant on some of my molars one time, but I trust them and am looking forward to going back.

I am shocked by the negative comments! I have been seeing Dr. Lee (Dr. Jamie, as we all call her), for 7 years. I have only had incredibly positive experiences with her and her entire office.
They seem to stay on the cutting edge of technology, and when I go in every 6 months, they are either offering new services or have new equipment to make the services they provide more convenient or of a higher quality. The staff is very outgoing and welcoming.
I have referred 5 friends to her practice over the years. All have been very happy, and have, in-​turn, referred more friends.
I have had great check ups (look mom, no cavities!), old damaged crowns replaced, a new crown installed, bite guards fitted, retainers made, teeth whitening kits purchased – I feel like over 7 years and many procedures I have only seen the best of what dentistry has to offer.

If I could give this place negative stars I would! I am furious with them. So that root canal they «performed» on me never really happened. Odd because my insurance was billed and I payed a couple of hundred dollars copay… I moved back to Oakland and went back to my amazing dentist who noticed that I needed a root canal, odd I thought because I already had that done in Seattle. Well, not so. Apparently Dr. Lee’s office started it and never finished it and charged me anyways. I was led to believe that it had been completed so I never thought twice about it. My insurance didn’t want to pay to do the same procedure twice, but after my new dentist sent them current x-​rays they asked Dr. Lee’s office for their money back. Where is my refund? Now I have to take this botched root canal to a specialist that is going to cost me way more. How could people like this be allowed to keep practicing!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! There are much better dentist out there who will not rip you off.

I came here a couple of years ago because i was looking for a dentist on capitol hill and i believe that Jamie Lee had good ratings on Unilocal at that time. Now i’m shocked at all the negative ratings.
As others have said, it’s not the best dental experience i’ve had but not a nightmare either. She did sort of push some procedures on me (fillings on the surface of my teeth where the enamel had begun to deteriorate near the gums). I was skeptical that i needed all of these, but ended up getting them anyway. The receptionist was very open about telling me how much all of it would cost after my insurance, and spacing out scheduling of the fillings so that i wouldn’t have to pay for them all at once. However, it was still a lot of money and I was left with the feeling that it wasn’t completely necessary.
She also recommended replacing a couple of old fillings because they looked like they *might be* letting food in to cause cavities underneath. Again, speculation, and I didn’t feel like it was necessary, but she pushed it anyway.
That said, the quality of the work was all right. One of the fillings she replaced caused my tooth to be sensitive for about two months, but it eventually subsided, and I wasn’t charged for return visits to smooth/​grind it down.
**EDIT** one of these fillings fell out recently, after less than two years. reducing my rating to 1 star.**

I was very disappointed with this practice. I went three different times, the first time I needed no work done, by the third time (all of a sudden) I was told I needed 12 (twelve!) fillings! The third appointment was over two hours long, and i sat there and waited for 30 minutes to be seen by the dentist (who was on lunch). Although the Dr. tried to be patient as I tried to discuss my concerns with her about the treatment recommendation, she insisted that I need to have all 12 fillings done. She explained to me, essentially, that my teeth would implode if i did not take care of all of the fillings right away.
B.S.
I felt very uncomfortable with the whole experience and decided to get a second opinion. The dentist I saw next found that I needed nowhere near 12 fillings — and that my teeth hadn’t been properly cleaned either. Plaque was left on my teeth.
They have a fancy office with fancy equipment, but a serious lack of quality of care. Contributing to this practice was a waste of time and money.
Thank goodness I was able to get a second opinion.

I have been in for 3 different appointments over a 9-​month time frame so far, (2 cleanings, and a filling) and haven’t been too disappointed. This isn’t the absolute least inexpensive place Ive seen, but not outlandish either. The office only has women on staff which is great, and they are all super friendly.
The one problem Ive run into was the billing. The gal up front is very clear with you about what the estimated payments are before billing your insurance company, but also asks for half of the sums upfront on the spot. (which, for my little «ignore the dentist for 3 yrs» shenanigans ended up being a four-​hundred and some-​odd dollar check the same day they drilled.)
(I’m personally used to getting a bill/​payment plan in the mail. in the privacy of my own home a few weeks later)
They also ask that you remit your later ‘half-​o-​bill” in just 10 days from the day they send it out, which I thought was a tad speedy.
Just don’t plan on spacing the payments out with this dentist office!
Definitely expect to pay half of your bills on the spot here for anything spendy. even if numb and puffy.
That aside, they are very great about answering questions, and all super cute! If i have to be starring up at someone from a chair for an hour, I dig that. I’m sticking around.

This is one of the worst dental practices I have ever been to. I know it’s nerdy, but I *love* getting my teeth cleaned/​keeping up on good dental health. This place was a nightmare and the work was HORRIBLE. Not ‘horrible’ as in painful, but ‘horrible’ as in they did dental work on me, it came loose a handful of months later, then they charged me to fix it. I completely agree and can relate to some of the other «one star”-ers of this place. My advice is to search for your beautiful smile elsewhere! The front desk people are nice, but is certainly not worth it in the long run.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Great hygienist. No nonsense.
They were even very kind and understanding when I had to give them up because of a change in health care coverage. I wish I could afford to keep going there.

I found Dr. Lee from Unilocal,and based on the reviews made my first appointment there for a new patient exam. That went without a hitch, and the office seemed nice.
I just came from my second appointment there, two weeks after my first appointment, for a follow-​up recommended deep cleaning. I have about $ 21,000 of cosmetic veneers, and when I left my appointment, I noticed one veneer on the bottom had been chipped during the appointment, and the hygenist did not say anything to me. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I am not sure how she could not notice a piece of porcelain breaking off of a tooth and not say anything to the patient about it.
I made a call to Dr. Lee’s office upon noticing the breakage and will see if they will resolve it.

Very nice staff. Pain free dentistry. They worked with my insurance and I didn’t have to do anything.
I was recommended here by a coworker and am really happy with it!
My former dentists had been telling me I needed my wisdom teeth pulled (which would have netted them big bucks) whereas Dr. Lee said that she could give me a referral if I wanted one but, that based on my X-​Rays I didn’t need to get them implying that my previous dentist was just out to make a buck. Saved me a bunch of money in the long run!
If you’re looking for a dentist in the heart of Seattle, this office is a great choice!

Everyone that works here is very nice. They make everything easy to understand and they will gladly answer any questions you may have. the exam rooms are nice and bright. They even have coffee/​tea in the waiting room.
I have never had a problem getting an appoitment here when I needed one.
