I've been to a lot of dentists over the years and this is my favorite by far. I think one of the best things about Dr. Lemperes and his staff is that they explain everything to you ahead of time and clearly answer any questions that you might have. That really helps to put your mind at ease. I also appreciate that they don't recommend unnecessary procedures or pressure you into big decisions. Instead, they provide specific tips for how to make small improvements on your own, and then give you plenty of time on bigger decisions. That builds trust. Finally, I really appreciate how friendly and encouraging everyone in the office is - I used to hate going to the dentist, and now I don't mind at all. Thanks Dr. Lemperes!

The staff was very welcoming and professional. I appreciated getting in earlier than my appointment time. Dr Lemperes was thorough and knowledgeable. Best dental team in Bellingham.

I am a new patient at Lemperes Family Dentistry and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience so far. The staff is friendly, the facility is clean, and the care being provided is wonderful. Dr.Collins made sure to tell me exactly what was going on throughout my appointment, and answered any/all questions I had. All staff members spoke to each other and their patients with respect. It’s exactly what you want to see and experience as a patient!

My former dentist had retired and I spent too much time putting off finding a new practice. This one was highly recommended to me, and I am so very happy to have found them. They listened to my concerns and nervousness and just truly put me at ease. I appreciate their attention to detail and willingness to answer questions until I understand my choices, as well as helping me decide the best dental care for myself. Truly nice folks from the minute you arrive to everyone who makes my dental visit a positive experience. Thanks.

Dr Lemperes, Thank you for cleaning my teeth yesterday, especially, Kory, misspelled?) who worked hard. After finishing the work, your new partner was introduced to me. She is a fine doctor. The only disappointment was Dr Lemperes himself who didn’t review Kory’s work. Regardless of your management structure, I still like continuing to see him, if possible. Another thing that bothered me is there were a lot of private conversations between the hygienist and her assistant. I would prefer her paying full attention to my teeth. Paul Hashimoto
