This dental clinic has a full page ad in the Natural Choice Directory as a "holistic" dental provider. My experience led me to believe that these people are marketing blatantly false and misleading statements with the intent to deceive people into believing they offer "natural" treatments when in fact, they do not. They also supposedly specialize in treating children - NOT! Dr. Kelley was so rough with the injection, my daughter was in tears and shaking from the pain! She did not even address the problem I brought my daughter in for, and proceeded to fill a non-existent cavity, insist on several more fillings and recommend extractions (which I found out later were totally unnecessary). When I asked for the MSDS sheet on the composite material she was using, she acted like I was being ridiculous when a real holistic dentist would gladly give that information. Its important for any parent with a chemically sensitive child to consider the long term affects of BPA in the filling material, and that was my concern. She didnt address that at all, instead she just brushed me off and said something to the effect of "We use the latest composite materials and anyway, BPA doesnt remain in the system very long". She is either ignorant, or deliberately falsely marketing herself as a holistic dentist. Either way, she should be ashamed of herself! When I had mulled all of this over after my daughters appointment, I called in to discuss my complaints with Dr. Kelley. She argued with me the whole time, and refused to address any of the points of contention I had. Although I can’t stand dishonesty in any profession, my BIGGEST problem with her was her ineptitude with regards to not diagnosing and treating the original dental problem and her rough treatment of my daughter. I found out later (from a reputable and honest holistic dentist) that my daughter had a cracked filling – that was what I was seeing and was the reason for my visit and Dr. Kelley. She claimed not to have even noticed that during her exam! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE OVERALL!

Dr. Kelley and her staff are a treasure. State of the art equipment, As a past Dental Administrator for a very large practice in Lynnwood, am soo happy to know that Dr. Kelley, her hygenists who have been there for over 20 years, are bar none the most indepth and through a cleaning as you would ever find. I have never felt more then a slight prick when getting novocaine. Between numbing the gum and gentle procedure they also offer nitroux, for us real scaredy cats. Music, neck pillows and blankets all make the experience truly enjoyable. I had gone too many years neglecting my teeth and found through Tammy, my hygenist and Dr. Kelley they were able to put together a plan to save the teeth they could and design partials for the ones I could not afford to save. I am a small business owner with no insurance and yet they came up with a plan that I am so happy with. I am without any infection, so much healthier and the partials Dr. Kelley designed are like a second skin. From Jackie and MaryAnn at the front desk to the assistants, hygenists and Dr. Kelley you will be in professional and caring hands. I recommend to all my family and friends.

I have gone to Kingsgate Dental for about two years now, and every experience has been excellent. Dr. Kelley is very knowledgeable and very thorough with her analysis of the issues that I have faced with my teeth. The staff is polite and always happy to answer any questions that I have and give me pointers to improve my dental hygiene. I will continue to go to Kingsgate Dental/Dr Kelley for years to come.
