I have been with Dr Robert David Mitchell for over 25 years. I am an old fart - 75. Before that I was with his dad R. Dale Mitchell for about 15 years. R Dale was the salt of the earth. A great compassionate dentist and a part-time instructor of the UW dent school program. (He died about 4 years ago (probably from eating too much, like I am wont to do.) I believe David also helps out at the UDub program.
Dale had R David do my first 4 front tooth crowns back in the late '70s. Fabulous. R David graduated #2 in his UW dent school class. David had one of his brothers do the lab work which was impeccable. He later did most of my mouth in crowns.
R David was also one of the most inexpensive dentists in the area. Quality care on the cheap.
In the last 8 years or so, though, he hired a dental assistant or two, to help in the clean-up and smoothing of fillings and crowns to clean away the dust and debris. I like the old days. Nothing like a dentist. He runs the office like a production line.
But the office staff is like family and a great group. His hygiensts are first rate and also have been.
As an established pt you get to see him right away if you have a problem. If you're not, it's like pulling teeth.
