This is my first time going to Pacific Northwest Periodontics. I went there because my dentist named Dr. Beack gave me a referral about my gum recession needing to be checked. The people there are really great people when I visited for my checkup first time with my father. I forgot to mentioned that Nettie is the one that helped me walk through for my pre-surgery checkup. She answered all my curious questions and she’s awesome. I am about to get my gum graft surgery taken care of for the very first time and I know it’s going to go well. The ones that I’ve met, I just wanted to say thank you. When I know the names, I will edit the review.
Edit on Feb 27 2026: I just finished my suture removal for my upper right gum graft follow up surgery with Nettie and I have to say that it was a great experience especially it being my first time. I just wanted to say thank you Dr. Song, Krystal, and Nettie for the great support and assistance! I know I have another gum recession that needs to be taken care of next year for my upper left, but if it does recede more, I will definitely go back to you guys for another gum graft surgery when the time comes. If friends/family need their teeth to be check, I’ll let them know about you guys. And yeah, thank you guys again! 🙏

I had an outstanding experience at Pacific Northwest Periodontist with Dr. Song and her treatment care coordinator, Carmen. I was only in town briefly for work and reached out on very short notice, yet they both went above and beyond to accommodate me.
Dr. Song was precise in diagnosing my issue and explained everything in a way that was clear, detailed, and easy to understand. Carmen was equally supportive and made the entire process smooth from start to finish.
The treatment itself was quick, painless, and handled with such professionalism that I felt completely at ease. I’m truly grateful for their care and expertise. Highly recommend Dr. Song and the Pacific Northwest Periodontist team!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Riccardo Di Gianfilippo He is not only highly skilled but also possesses a truly wonderful bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease.
Dr. Di Gianfilippo is exceptionally warm and kind. He patiently answered questions, clearly explained the procedure, and ensured I was at ease throughout the entire appointment.
His exceptional kindness and a compassionate demeanor reminds me of Dr. Rappaport!
I highly recommend Dr. Riccardo Di Gianfilippo to anyone needing periodontal care. He's not only an expert in his field but also a genuinely caring practitioner.

The whole team is very friendly, and you can tell they enjoy what they do. They answered all of my questions thoughtfully and I would say consistently go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a Periodontist!

This should be zero stars, not even a 1 star, I am so upset. I saw Dr. Song for a consultation and waited 45 minutes past my appointment time. When she finally walked in and saw the photos on the screen, she exclaimed, “Wow, just wow!” I was startled and didn’t understand why she was reacting that way. She immediately started questioning my health, suggesting I might have diabetes or high cholesterol, which I do not. When I told her my last blood test was just last month, she ignored that.
Then she examined some mild gum inflammation above my two front teeth, diagnosed it as lichen planus, handed me a sheet, and scheduled a biopsy just a few days later. She even said it could be cancer, claiming only the biopsy could confirm it. I was terrified.
I canceled that biopsy and sought a second opinion from another periodontist in downtown Seattle. He immediately recognized that my gums were simply irritated from over-brushing, not diseased. There were no signs of cancer, no lesions, and no lichen planus. He prescribed a softer toothbrush, and within days, my gums began improving. He said my mouth looked great and very healthy!
This office is completely unprofessional. A periodontist should be able to tell the difference between normal irritation and serious disease. Instead, I was scared, misled, and almost scheduled an unnecessary invasive procedure with a $785 price tag. Patients deserve honesty and competence — this office provides neither. Avoid this practice if you want an experienced, trustworthy periodontist.
