Ronald L Barbanell, DDS

I’m completely done with my implant can you tell? No… me neither lol I’m excited no longer hiding my face or teeth. I’m thankful for the staff and crew thank you again for making my experience pleasant…

First of all, Dr. Barbanell is deceased. The fill in dentists are all contracted from other offices. I had 3 implants done 8 months ago, they fell out 3 months ago. A contracted doctor put them back in saying they guarantee their work for a year. Well, they just came out again. These implants are covered the new warranty 1 yr, but now they say no, they do not cover other dentists work… that contracted dentist isnt there anymore. What!!! He worked for the company! 5 months ago I asked for a full accounting because they kept billing me for things i had already paid. ANd my insurance shows that they did not bill properly for items. Still have not received full accounting because they say Dr. Barbanell’s notes are unreadable, missing, etc. What?! I am running as fast as I can outta here. They do not care, horrible appointment scheduling and they cancel all the time! Look elsewhere.

Made an appointment for next next week.
Dr Barbanell, passed away a couple months ago. He «hand picked» Dr. Paz to follow in the legacy.
I hope it will be good. I had great reviews about Dr. Barbanell from friends and Unilocal.I will update this review after I go though the experience.

Dr. Ronald L Barbanell and his staff are fantastic. I am so grateful for the work that he has done on my teeth, and my husbands. He is kind, professional and honorable. He does not recommend treatment that you don’t need. I recommend him to all my friends. True, the wait time can sometimes be long but it’s worth it. He offers wonderful value, it’s not a glitzy office but it’s happy, friendly and honest.

To begin with let me start off by saying I moved to Lake Stevens Washington two years ago May. I went to a Periodontist here and ended up leaving the office in tears. A close friend and his brother who live in Redondo Beach, had implants done by Dr. Barbanell and a sister who is a doctor and lives in New York had a consultation when she went to check on how her brothers were doing after their implants. All of them had highly recommended I go see Dr. Barbanell, when I flew in for my sons graduation in June. So I did and very thankful I took their advice. I flew back to California from Washington State in July and had all 9 implants started that day by Dr. Barbanell. My experience at Dr Barbanell’s office was amazing! Dr. Barbanell and all of his office staff treated me very well. They were all so attentive to all of my needs and were very accommodating. I was made to feel very relaxed during my procedure and had lots of fun with his staff. I highly recommend Dr. Barbanell to anyone looking for dental treatment whether near of far away.
Sincerely,
Melanie

I consulted Dr. Barbanell because I have a tooth that may need extraction and implantation. It supports a bridge and removal would mean missing teeth in two spaces. Since I have had a lot of work in my mouth over the years and this particular situation is somewhat complex, I decided to have Dr. Barbanell assess my teeth and make recommendations. Dr. Barbanell has a busy no nonsense office… no glitzy art and other ammenities to support. I liked his very efficient and pleasant staff. He has extensive paperwork which is very thorough and made me feel he dots all of his i’s and crosses all of the t’s in his practice. I only waited a few minutes as well. Dr. Barbanell explained his philosophy of practicing Dentistry which is quality care as a fair and honest price. no upselling here which seems to be the common practice at dental offices these days. He looked at my X Rays and took a few more of his own. Since I have no symptoms, he shared his opinion «If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.» My X Ray definitely shows root damage but I felt reassured that I didn’t have to do a thing at this time. He explained what possible options there were for me and also explained that bone grafts, although very «in» and a common recommendation, are not that useful or appropriate for many cases. Obviously there are a lot of ways out there for Dentists to make $$ on procedures that you may not really need and might also lead to complications and unsatisfactory outcomes. Dr. B did not charge me for the consultation. The office gave me a prescription for Flouride toothpaste to keep existing teeth healthy and free of decay and they also gave me a copy of my X RAYS. Dr. B has 36 years of experience. He is outspoken about his profession and the many practioners who ‘sell’ procedures that may not be needed and then overcharge for them. I left feeling reassured about my back tooth and armed with a plan if I do need it extracted. Do yourself a favor and go to Dr. Barbanell if you want a competent, skilled and honest Dentist! Hear him out, read his website so you know of his excellent education and credentials.

At first, I was skeptic because of the low price they offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see a full, professional and friendly staff. They, from dental assistants to the doctor himself, answered all my skeptic questions before the procedure. They set me up quickly. However, I did wait on the chair for short awhile since there were other patients that time. Totally understandable, since I wanted Dr. Barbanell himself to do my procedure. The procedure went quickly. They gave me meds, mostly anitobiotics, to recover. It’s been almost a week. And it’s been no pain so far. Can’t wait for the waiting period to be over to get my implant in place!
