I adore Dr. Curtis - I tried several dentists in the Seattle before I finally found one I was happy with. I just had a cleaning yesterday and there was temp hygienist filling in for the regular one who was on vacation. The temp was a bit rougher than the regular gal. I think the costs are pretty standard. Dr. Curtis is conscious of what procedures will cost you, which I appreciate. The office which also displays art is lovely, but the set up of the reception desk is a bit haphazard.
