out of Read Reviews for Dr. Natalia Duvalko
My husband just had his crown done with DR. Duvalko's office and what a pleasant experience. He was given a treatment plan that was very understandable and financially achievable. She was very attentive and my husband had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend her.

I would not recommend this Dentist to anyone. She has issues with her infection control, and not to mention has board actions on her license that is open to the public. All you have to do is search her name. She has horrible chairside manner, which includes answering phone calls in another language while with a patient. Answers the phone with dirty gloves while she is in your mouth, and then puts her gloves back in your mouth after they were just touching everything else.

This dentist could not diagnose a root canal that another dentist, an endontologist, and a periodontist later said a 1st year student should have spotted in the XRAY (and she was VERY reluctant to give me the XRAY- I needed a doctor's note). Since the pain was in my gums at the tooth root, but the tooth looked fine superficially, they tried to do a special kind of XRAY that worked with soft tissue, but couldn't get the software working and the assistent literally clicked the XRAY machine like 8-10 times before she gave up trying. I pray that I was not getting radiation doses each time, but I'm sure I was. Then she recommended an MRI at a local hospital!! I bailed and had a root canal done last month and the pain is gone now. The endontologist said it was routine and obvious. What's worse is that when I went to a new dentist last week and showed him the projection receipt with the recommended cavities Duvalko said I needed to have done (but luckily waited to do), he said that those two teeth were fine and didn't need any fillings at all!!! I can't believe I continually tried to give her and her "specialist" chance after chance to find out that she tried to SCAM me too! I wasn't going to write a review, but that was the last straw.
About Hygienist: It was her first day and she couldn't figure out the equipment for a while. It was the most painful cleaning I've ever had, but she was nice.

I know Dr. Natalia for 7 years. She used to be my neighbor in Battle Ground before they moved. I had only positive experience to report, during all this time she took great care of my teeth and my family's. Recently she placed 2 implants into my jaw and attached my lower plate to them, my teeth fit so snugly, I can eat whatever I want now. My dentist made my life more enjoyable . She is the one !

I went to see Dr. Duvalko and learned real fast that she is a major hack. While she is very nice and warm, her bedside manner cannot make up for incompetence. Her office looks like she has the taste of a cheap leprechaun. Her staff comes across like they started on the job yesterday. The two times I went to see her, I waited in her reception room a total of an hour and five minutes.
She told me I need 4 silver fillings. I told her that I didn't want mercury in my mouth. She said that there was very little mercury in these amalgam fillings. I left her office and did some research. I found out that so-called "silver fillings" usually have about 50% mercury in them. I want be going back to her!

Our friends are amazed when we tell them that we actually look forward to seeing our dentist. We feel that way because we trust Dr.Natalia...she takes her time to listen and also to explain not only what needs to be done, but why. Plus her pleasant personality helps make an otherwise tense moment relaxing, even fun. That means a lot, especially when the patient is one of our children.
