I heard from a colleague that this Dentist was a good choice. On her recommendation I visited Barry, who insisted I get a couple crowns to prevent future root canals.
Although I was not in any pain whatsoever, I trusted Barry and was fearful as I've heard horror stories about root canals. Long story short and four months later, the pain culminated in a fever, sinus infection, flu and a root canal on the very tooth Barry drilled into. I went to see another dentist and an endodontist who were both hesitantly, but truthfully scrutinizing Barry's work. The endodontist concluded that at the very least, "your dentist exponentially accelerated the death of your tooth." Barry decided to bill me for the crown, all the follow-up check-ups to see what was causing all the pain, including the final emergency check-up where I was in living hell; losing four days of work, three days of sleep, flu, sinus infection, migraines, etc.
To add insult to injury, I received a $350 bill later that month. After paying my co-pay each visit with my credit card, I didn't expect to see any additional bills. I was wrong.
This dentist caused me much distress, money, health, and proved himself to be very, very unethical and deceitful in his billings.

My very first visit was positive but after that every visit following that was progressively less so. In all, I had a very negative experience, suffering through several painful routine cleanings with a different temp hygienist every time. The doctor whisks in quickly only when the moment for his expertise is needed, then vanishes. The ultimate was being "asssured" that I would soon have intense pain in a certain tooth, by the doctor himself, and that I should go for a root canal immediately--to his colleague/friend. I didn't--three years later, still no pain. And that was my last trip to his office.

Dr. Kaimakis and staff are the most pleasant, professional dental office I have ever been in. I've recently moved to Tampa but when I move back to Seattle will immediatly return as a patient!

Dr. Kaimakis is a no nonsense, get-it-done dentist. He is pleasant but not chatty, efficient but not rough. You're in, you're out. And he does a very good job. He fixed some bad dental work that another dentist had done on me, and I have had absolutely no problems since Kaimakis did the fix. I have been going to him for years, have recommended many people to him, and am very happy with him.
