Long time patient of Dr. Wagner, 2 kids, spouse and myself all have our smiles courtesy of Dr. Wagner. Dr. Wagner is a well respected orthodontics, with a warm persona and a stellar reputation with the kiddos and parents alike.It was a sad day when it finally became a reality that his son will not take over the practice...I remembered that last tearful teddy bear hug from Dr. W... I was so skeptical about the new doctor, and yes, I started "shopping" around anticipating things to go wrong. No, Dr. Bhat did not win us over right away and with the curveball of a new business and pandemic mandatory closure, along with others, we were frustrated with the lack of adjustments BUT thankfully we hung around! Dr. Bhat is exceptional kind, gentle and charismatic. Instead of publicly denouncing my child, she quietly pulled me and her aside to the private room, letting my daughter know her dental hygiene is subpar. Dr. Bhat's goes out of her way to accommodate "moody teenager"'s (aka my son :D) bad days. Excellent bedside manners, extensive knowledge and expertise in her field. The "moody teenager" is finally (urgh pandemic!) off braces now and we are constantly receiving compliments on his smile. Thank you Dr. Bhat!

Dr. Bhat is one of the most caring orthodontists I’ve met. She has responded in times of broken wires or extra needs by seeing us outside of regular office hours and going beyond what we expected. She has a calm demeanor and she seems genuinely interested in teaching and listening to her assistants. My son’s treatment has ended in a great smile and my daughter is on her way to one too. :)

Years ago, the glue broke on my bonded retainer and there was a slight shifting in the teeth that Dr. Wagner and I addressed it together, deciding it was so minor it wasn’t worth taking drastic measures to fix. I recently went to Dr. Bhat to have the glue checked as she took over the practice from Dr. Wagner upon his retirement. From the get-go, everything was disorganized, contradictory, confusing, and upsetting. I waited 10-15 minutes after I checked myself in as there was no one at the front desk or in the lobby. All of the staff were unorganized -- we had to take photos multiple times because of missing SD card, using wrong camera etc.-- which added another 30+ minutes before I got to see Dr. Bhat. Dr. Bhat looked at the pictures and told the staff to remove my bonded retainer and that I needed Invisalign (Quoted $4000) since my teeth are so crooked. When I asked about this she said we don’t have to, my teeth aren’t really crooked, and “Look, my teeth are more crooked than yours!”. Dr. Bhat said she could adjust my night retainer—as she had done once before (it hasn’t sat right since)-- & I would need to wear it 22/7. I reminded her that I did so previously on her recommendation. She then told me I was supposed to come in for a one month follow up after that appointment. I was never advised to do so. She then added that I would need to wear the retainer 22/7 for 6-8 months but that it probably wouldn’t do anything & suggested that I wasn’t wearing them as advised since my teeth had gone crooked. I told her I wear my retainers every night, but it’s clear she didn’t believe me. I asked her to check my chart to see why Doctor Wagner had advised that I have a permanent retainer, & to refresh herself on why the teeth had shifted (glue break some years ago). She did not. I asked to have a new retainer made as my old one has yellowed with age which would be embarrassing to wear during the day instead of just at night as I have done. She refused unless I let her remove the bonded retainer. When I pressed, she said no, then yes, then that we could just leave it in but she wouldn’t make me a new retainer, etc. 45+ minutes into the appointment she looked at my bonded retainer for the first time & advised that it’s stable and secure, but "eventually" the glue would break & she would likely not replace it for me. When I went to leave she said, "Maybe next time you'll 'remember' to tell me that you 'forgot' to wear your retainers" or something along those lines. I left feeling like my teeth were awful, & so incredibly confused. I didn’t know if I needed a new retainer or not, needed Invisalign or not, needed work on my bonded retainer or not, needed to have it removed or not. I transferred care to another office after making a few phone calls to discuss options at different clinics. Every office I called said that this is not the first time they’ve heard similar complaints about Dr. Bhat & her office & that this migration of patients after Dr. Wagner’s retirement is something they’ve dealt with quite frequently. The new office said they wouldn't recommend any treatment because there’s "less than 1mm of shifting on a single tooth”, that this is “to be expected w/ aging despite orthodontic work & proper follow up care" & “it's so minor that there would be little to no benefit to any treatment”. They made a new retainer without removing my bonded retainer & advised that even this wasn't necessary as it's clear I take good care of my appliances & wear them as I'm supposed to. I asked for my full chart to be sent to me by Dr. Bhat’s office. They sent me a release with my name spelled wrong, multiple emails, calls, etc. only to tell me ~a week later my old records were shredded after 7 years (per HIPAA rules). UPDATE: After reading this review, Dr. Bhat called me and offered to do Invisalign "on the house" to "make it up to me". I've had two orthodontists I trust implicitly tell me no treatment is necessary or recommended. Even if treatment was necessary, I would not return to this clinic.

Dr.B and her team at Woodinville Orthodontics have made our 8 year old daughter’s orthodontics experience comfortable and easy. Their kindness and gentleness with such young patients is incredible. I highly recommend coming here as they work hard together as a team to make the Orthodontics experience as easy as possible for the entire family. My younger kids can’t wait to get braces on too!

Are you looking for an orthodontist in the Woodinville area? I found one for you! Dr Bhat has treated me for the past three years and she is wonderful, and she is a true professional! She is warm and caring. She is invested in your outcome and treatment, as well as honest and upfront about it. I have been traveling from Mason County for most of the duration of my treatment. She and her staff are worth it! I have come to the end of my braces journey, and I will miss her. I am grateful for my new beautiful smile and bite!

Dr Bhat and team have help with all four of my children’s orthodontic needs for the pass few years and our experience has been great! It’s so nice to be greeted by name from staff. We have had emergency and each time have been dealt with in a timely matter. Woodniville is blessed to have such an amazing team.

Woodinville Orthodontics has been a breath of fresh air for us after a less-desirable experience at another local orthodontia office. The staff at Woodinville Ortho treat us like family, and their communication is exceptional. Their cost beat the former office as well. We will definitely be bringing both of our other kids here when their time comes!

Dr.Bhat is very patient and friendly in answering all our questions with different treatment options, very impressed with her deep knowledge in Dentistry, we're so happy with her services and my kids also happy with ttheir results.i have recommend few of my friends and they're also happy with Dr.Bhat's services. I highly recommend this clinic for both adults and kids orthodontist treatment.
