Queen Anne Dental Group

I really love this dental office! My first experience with them was back in 2012. I hadn’t been to a dentist in 11 years, and my teeth needed immediate attention (I had recently broken two teeth!). Not having dental insurance, I was looking for a place that would not only provide good care, but would provide options that were affordable. I’m a dog walker on Queen Anne and pass by this business daily, so I decided to stop in to ask a few questions. The woman at the front desk (I wish I could remember her name!!) was so lovely and helpful. She completely understood my needs and assured me that Dr. Calvo would provide me with all possible options for my budget. I felt really good about the office, so I booked an appointment and I’m SO glad I did. Every person in this office is warm, friendly, and gentle (something I need when it comes to my teeth). Dr. Calvo is highly skilled and explains absolutely every step of each procedure, treating me as an intelligent equal (rather than some doctors who tend to talk down to patients). He offered me affordable solutions that solved my problems, and his work has stood the test of time. I truly cannot thank Dr. Calvo and his staff enough for putting me at ease and helping me get the quality dental work I needed within a budget I could afford. I never thought I’d say this about a DENTIST, but I actually look forward to my next appointment!

Dr. Calvo is made me appreciate dentists again! After years of going to horrible dentists, I finally found someone I can trust. I have a difficult mouth to maintain but he always knows what to do and his staff are top notch. Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been going there for 7 or 8 years now and I would never switch, even though I moved 30 minutes away.

Having recently moved to Seattle and also having missed out on the dentist for a few years, I was a bit nervous about finding a dentist I would like. I’m not normally someone who dislikes going to the dentist, but since it had been a few years, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I’m so glad I found Queen Anne Dental Group! They were very friendly right off the bat! The office is very comfortable, the front desk staff is nice, the lady who cleaned my teeth was so comforting and Dr. Calvo is great!
I had to return for a deep cleaning and my very first filling ever. I was a bit nervous about this because my friends and family had told me all these horror stories about their own fillings (at different dental offices). However, when I got there, I had the same cleaning lady and she made me feel so comfortable. Everything went WAY better than I’d expected, and the filling was NOTHING! The filling itself took very little time and I didn’t feel a thing!
They all congratulated me on my first filling (and numbing) and I was out the door with a smile on my face.
I also want to note that I’m comparing my experience to where my fiancé goes to the dentist (I believe it’s prestige dental in south lake union). He doesn’t generally like going to the dentist, but they seemed to do messy work when he got his filling done there (he had a pretty bad hole in his cheek and his temporary filling fell out pretty easily and they would not take him for a few days). He also said that they spent more time talking than working.
This is why I love Queen Anne Dental. They were very pleasant and thorough, told me every step of what they were doing, and didn’t waste any of my time.
I highly recommend them!

I echo the sentiments of the most recent reviewer. Usually, I LOATHE going to the dentist — so much so that I haven’t been in four years! To me, most dental experiences feel like a slow descent into hell or (at best) a scam where unnecessary procedures are forced onto patients. The approach and atmosphere at Dr. Calvo’s office reminds me of the Bastyr Center (which I love!). They spend time, explain what they are doing and why, make sure you are comfortable, and give you options. Everyone is professional yet personable.
The office has an open floor plan, however it’s not noisy! Dr. Calvo is a character — like Joe Pesci on a good day! I learned at least two new things about my teeth and walked out feeling great about myself and my dental health. Now I can avoid having an anxiety attack the next time I want a cleaning! Hooray!

I had a great first appointment! Everyone was really sweet and they give first class dental care. The hygienist even measured my gums (which I have never had done) and the dental assistant did a head and neck exam (also, which I have never had done).
Dr. Calvo was funny and knowledgeable. He performed his dental exam more similarly and thoroughly to a medical exam.
The office is beautiful and clean.
Glad I made the choice to come here!

Best.Dentist.Ever! My husband and I have been coming here since the early ‘90s. We always recommend Dr. Frank Calvo and his amazing staff to anyone who asks us for a dental referral/​recommendation. I just recently had a dental emergency and was able to get into the office quickly. The situation was resolved immediately, plus the at-​home self-​care was expertly described. I’m not the easiest dental patient to handle yet I’ve always been expertly cared for here. Not only is the expertise here great — all the people who work here are wonderful, caring, responsive and genuinely nice human beings! Many of them have been with Dr. Calvo for at least as long as we’ve been loyal clients. That says a lot about this group! They get our highest recommendation!

So happy with my choice to check out this dentist. I just moved back to Seattle after being on the east coast. I got a crown with my dentist out there, and man, it is not cute. Dr. Calvo got one look at it and talked about what we could do in the mean time with it until I can get it replaced. He also adjusted my night guard (made by another dentist) at no cost!
Every dental assistant I have encountered is very nice and professional. They have a parking lot and there is plenty of street parking. As a bonus, they gave me a «referral card» so I could get a gift card to Menchie’s or Starbucks if I told me friends about the practice. I didn’t need the incentive, but it is a bonus!

These guys are awesome! Absolutely the best, state-​of-​the-​art care you can get. Everyone is very friendly (and Dr. Calvo is such a nice guy), and my teeth look amazing. I have some dental challenges, but Calvo and crew keep them healthy and looking good. I’ve been seeing them for 15 years. Highly Recommended.

The BEST dentist! I am a dentist and he is MY dentist.

I have been a client of Dr. Calvo’s since 1991. He does excellent work and has been helpful in providiing me ways to maintain my dental health. The staff and the hygenists are superior.

If you are looking for a great dental team — look no further. I’ve been with QADG for over a decade (two?) and have gotten excellent advise, instruction, insight and wisdom from the entire team. I actually look forward to going to the Dentist! Frank and all the staff are like family who, I think, really care about me as well as for me. They are in a nice neighborhood that is super easy to access from downtown or across town. Parking is free and they have flexible hours that help me make my appts easier.

The 1^st try did not work so here goes again!
My childhood Dentist (Dr Johnny Johnson R.I.P.) retired. I spent many unhappy years wondering through the desert. Then I found my oasis at Queen Anne Dental! Dr. Frank Calvo & his harem of Dental Goddesses hade made a home for my family & I!
Highest recommendation!
ps… We travel all the way from Tacoma!

Dr. Calvo is by far the best dentist I have come across in Seattle. He obviously knows his stuff and lets you know what your treatment options are. The rest of the team at QA Dental is just as amazing, they are always friendly and helpful. The fun and caring environment makes going to the dentist a much more enjoyable experience!

I have been going to Dr. Calvo since I moved to Seattle/​Queen Ann 1998. Since then I have moved to Bellevue but continue to make the drive out to see him and his staff for cleaning every three months. They are wonderful and always so nice. I have had numerous procedures done, 3 implants, 3 crown and root canals. Dr. Calvo is always looking out for your well being and not just to get your money, unlike some dentist. Dr. Calvo’s referrels are always top notch as well.
