Hello, Dr. Odegard!I'm not sure if you remember us, but both my husband, Luke, and I were patients of yours when we lived in Renton from 1999 to 2004. We moved back to the East Coast to be closer to family, which has been great for all of us. One of the unfortunate matters we had to deal with our move was trying to find new doctors and dentists. After trying several out, we finally found a family dentist in the area who we really like. I have to tell you, though, that every time we went to a new dentist, they ALL remarked how amazing our dental work was - dental work that you did. I think we went to three or four different dentists and they all commented on your excellent work. Every single dentist. Even today, while I was getting my teeth cleaned, my dentist asked again about you and let me know that most dentists wouldn't bother with the detail and precision you used with my porcelain crowns. I was thinking that it was important you know how impressed all of these dentists are with your work. While we're happy with our new dentist now, we both miss the headset with the movies, the nitrous oxide, the personal phone calls you made on the weekends to see how we were doing, and Betsy's warm smile and willingness to care for my children while I was in the dentist's chair. (Please tell her my "babies" are now 10 and 7 1/2!) Thanks, Dr. Odegard. Lynnette & Luke Peterschmidt You have no idea of the things I've done to help me break dental appointments. Once I called the dental office and told them that I couldn't came in because my uncle was going to marry his widow's sister. The receptionist quickly replied, "That couldn't be true, dear. If he has a widow, he has to be dead." (Oh well it was a good try) Needless to say I was running out of reasons, and I had a hummer of a toothache. Arriving at a local clinic, I noticed that there was a dental office right inside the main entrance. As I reached for the door knob, I noticed that there was a sign that read "Dr.Odegard-2nd floor." He obviously would be a better choice because I could take the stairs and it would take longer to get there. (Anything to prolong the inevitable!) As I entered the stairwell, I took one step up and two back down and before I knew it, I was back in the parking lot deciding to chuck the whole idea. Then it hit me — I'd always wanted to be an Olympic athlete. I quickly re-entered the clinic and proudly climbed the stairs, pretending at the top I would have the honor of lighting the Olympic Torch. Finally arriving at the 2nd floor, I took a deep breath, opened the office door, went in, and promptly burst into hysterical sobbing. Before I knew it everyone was telling me it was ok. They sat me down and talked to me about everything but teeth, and before I knew it my aching tooth was repaired. That was four years ago, and I don't worry about dental appointments anymore. Dr.Odegard (Dr."O" as I call him) and his staff are the best. They strive for patient satisfaction, and demand excellence, and their patients become family. We have shared pool parties, Mariners tickets, and constantly keep each other laughing. If you know someone who is afraid of going to the dentist and wants to join the family, tell them to call Dr."O" (Dr.Odegard). Its that simple. Dial 425-277-4000 and look for the picture of me and my family on his dental brochure. I'm proud to be his patient. Please be prepared to hear about the home run he hit at Safeco Field. Sincerely, Yerda Gesner (Dr. Odegard's patient since 1996) Thank you so much for my portrait. Doug loves it!! It was such a nice surprise! I'm so glad that fate directed me to your name in the Yellow Pages a few years ago. I not only have a great dentist but wonderful friends as well! Thanks again, Carol Today I had my teeth cleaned so thoroughly by Jodi… What a personal competent hygienist! Betsy is always SO welcoming and SO friendly. Rachelle helped me with my dental plan and future work… Nice job. And of course Dr.O gave me a warm welcome. Thanks for all the courtesies and quality care we receive EVERYTIME! Ed & Marge Korney My dearest Dr.Odegard, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much you and your staff mean to me any my family. Coming to your office is always such a joy. Rachelle and Betsy at the front desk are always so professional and welcoming. They really are fabulous. If I were you I would pay them accordingly as not to loose them. Now about you, Dr.Odegard. Your expertise and gentle touch are unmatchable in your field. I have been to many dentists in my life but none can compare to you. You really are a shining star. I cannot imagine ever going to another dentist now that I have been to you. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind and generous gift to me. My family has really enjoyed the "Willy Wonka" movie. That was so thoughtful of you. How did you know that I would like that movie, you must be a mind reader. Just one more of your extensive talents. Here's wishing you and your wonderful staff a healthy and happy holiday season. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Respectfully yours, Lisa Muller When I arrived at Dr.Odegard's office about 5 years ago I thought it was going to be a routine office visit. Much to my surprise it turned into a 5 year "Dentist/Patient" bonding experience due to the extremely poor care I had obtained from my past dentist. Every step of the way Dr.Odegard explained in detail the process and methodically handled every problem I had; which was extensive. I have spent lots of time at Dr.O's office and feel extremely qualified to highly recommend him to others. He is the best dentist I have ever had because he cares! He is not only a top notch professional in every aspect of his dentistry but he is also a quality person with strong ethics, integrity and a great sense of humor. Bottom line, he is real. When I walk into his office I know I will be greeted by not only an amazing staff but by a dentist I trust to be honest and fair in accessing my needs. I am always confident that when I walk out, it will be done right. In emergency situations Dr.O goes above and beyond what most professionals would do regarding phone calls and fixing the problem. He is conscientious and does not hesitate to take the time to resolve a situation even if it involves his personal time. Dr.Odegard is truly amazing and definitely in a league of his own. Carol Cook I want to thank you all for saving me from a TOOTHLESS future. Your skillful and caring work has changed my life. You are simply the best I have ever known. Thank you all. Dennis Just had to write you a little thank you for all you guys did for me when I was having all my tooth pain. I couldnt ask for A better dentist & assistants & staff! You made me feel very lucky. Thank you all again! Tiffany Just wanted to tell you thank you for taking such good care of our friend and employee's wife Brenda. She told me many times how wonderful your office was. It's been said before, that most people will forget what you've done in life, but they will NOT forget how you made them feel. I think you all made Brenda feel special. Thank you!! Have a great week & I'm sure we will see you again soon! Francine I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. It means more than you know. Thank you, Victoria Subject; Dental Services by Dr. Robert Odegard D.D.S. At 50 plus years old, I had my teeth for all of my life. They were not straight. They were not bright. So I went through orthodontics to make them straight but they still were not bright. Many years of coffee and tobacco had taken their toll and what I now wanted was a healthy gleaming smile. I went to see Dr. Odegard and asked him if it would be possible to realize this dream of a gleaming smile. He told me what I wanted to hear so we went to work. It took time, it took money and it took the patience and skills of Dr. Odegard and his very capable staff but now I have that straight healthy set of teeth and also that bright, beautiful smile! My only regret is that I did not have this work done earlier in my lifetime. Gene Robinson |
