Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have known a lot of dentists and as far as I am concerned, Dr. Bloomquist is a step above all of them. Her knowledge, compassion and perfectionism come through in every visit. She strives for more knowledge and has the patients whole health as a focus of her interest and concern. This is not just a drill and fill office. Dr. Bloomquist is a fountain of knowledge and a great resource. I LOVE this practice

She is always willing to listen and answer all of my questions,her referrals for services that are not her specialty are always on point. The entire staff experience is what keeps me coming back. I hate going to the dentist but I always keep coming back here because I'm treated like a person and not a number.

I fell and broke a tooth; Dr. Bloomquist was a life saver. She took me right in and was so kind. All my anxiety about implants are gone. No pain (sleep sedative). What could have been a horrible experience turned in to an innocuous, stress less experience.

I have been going to Dr. Bloomquist for many years and always feel I am well taken care of my her staff and Dr. Bloomquist always gives me plenty of time to go over my teeth to make sure all is well and I have No problems or concerns. For the last few years most of my appointments were cleaning related, but when I broke off a cap to my delight she was able to secure it back in place that was three years ago and it has been stable ever since.

Grant in Tacoma, WA – Mar 30, 2016

I would NOT recommend Dr. Bloomquist to anyone. This opinion is not due to quality of care (which is fine), but because her billing department and customer service is among the WORST I have EVER experienced by ANY medical provider. Over the past six months there have been multiple billing errors amounting to overcharges in excess of $600. Despite MULTIPLE attempts to get these issues resolved, we have been completely ignored.

My wife was told by the office we accept Guardian Insurance, so I went in for a checkup, x-rays and cleaning. Then we received the bill - $428. Insurance covered all procedures at 100%, and paid the office $236, which left me owing $192 for a routine office visit! Turns out this practice is out of Guardian's network, so they can charge whatever they want on top of what guardian reimburses. An honest business would have notified me of this up front. This is NOT an honest business.
