out of Read Reviews for Dr. Kate Mckinney
Bulk treatment. Quantity focused. Fast paced. Too aggressive. Not too concerned with the patient's well-being, but more concerned about getting the patients in and out as quickly as possible and get as many teeth done as possible.
She does not even do the follow up adjusting but let the hygienist do the adjusting.
About Hygienist: Don't feel comfortable the hygienist drilling my teeth.

Dr. McKinney is wonderful! I like that she does onlays ("partial crowns" that are made of porcelain--a lot of dentists aren't trained on how to do these) instead of crowns when she can. She doesn't have to remove so much tooth structure. The office is beautiful and every member of her staff is pleasant and fun to be around. I also like that I was offered gas, even for my cleanings. It's nice to be able to RELAX at a dental office! They also have headphones at every chair and can play anything you want. Blankets, hand warmers, neck rolls, the works! You can really tell that your comfort is a top priority here. They even make sure my eyelashes aren't hitting the safety glasses by putting a little cotton roll under the brige. Haha!
I did a lot of price comparisons in the area (Eastside) and Seattle and found that Dr. McKinney is comparable, if not cheaper. All the high tech equipment (everything is new, digital and top-of-the-line) and "extras" made me think she would have higher fees, but she doesn't.
Dr. McKinney takes the time to listen to your concerns and explain her suggestions for treatment. I've never felt pressured and rushed. She also doesn't overlap patients which is GREAT because I never have to wait!
About Hygienist: Inga is FABULOUS! She is the most gentle hygienist I have ever had clean my teeth. Seriously. And she does a great job--I love how my teeth feel when she's done with them! I've also been struggling with painful cancker sores my whole life and Inga suggested I let them use their laser on them. It's only been a couple days since I had them treated but they are feeling so much better. Apparently the laser works on cold sores too--having Dr. McKinney laser it right when you feel it coming on supposedly keeps it from erupting.

I needed an implant on my front tooth because i got hit in the mouth. Dr. Mckinney referred me to a great doctor to have my implant placed. I later saw her for my crown to be placed over the implant. It was been a long process but totally worth the time. it looks great and i am very happy with my results.

Dr. Mckinney runs a great operation. It doesn't really feel like you're going to the dentist!? She's extremely professional and is very knowledgable in her field. I like going to her because of her staff's customer service and state of the art equipment in the office.

Dr. McKinney's gentle touch combined with her extensive education and experience make her an incredible practitioner. Her contemporary office, funky music and supportive staff make dental visits actually enjoyable. She has done a lot of work in my mouth from laser gum surgery to Invisaline and I have complete confidence in her. I highly recommend Dr. McKinney!

It is always a pleasure going to Dr. McKinney's office. Not only is she excellent at what she does, her office offers a very fun and relaxing environment. Everyone from the front-desk manager to the hygentist are personable and extremely professional. My bi-yearly cleanings are the best I've had in over 30 years, the technology at this office is amazing!

Dr McKinney & her staff are just awesome. Going to the dentist is never fun, but Dentiste makes the grade. Dr. McKinney's entire staff is friendly and a pleasure to work with. The office is very modern with all the latest techniques to keep everything as thorough as possible. I liked the touch of being able to listen to the sattelite music in chair while they did their work. I would highly recommend Dentiste to anyone in need of a dentist.
