Olympia Union Gospel Mission

To start with, the office staff are super friendly and very helpful, they know their information and they make sure you know what you need; on top of that, Dr. Reese is the best dentist I've ever been to, made me feel very comfortable even though I was nervous for my first extractions and he's the only dentist I've been do that made sure I felt no pain! I've had fillings(back when I had insurance) that hurt much worse and took much longer to do than it took Dr Reese to extract 2 teeth! He was so gentle I didn't feel the novacaine shots at all and then he was quick enough it was over before I knew he had started to pull them, couldn't have been even 5 minutes. Great team of very kind and caring people there, 👏 A+++

My boyfriend had been dealing with tooth pain and no dental insurance for too long. They were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. I appreciate the work they do and how they dont in any way make you feel judged. You guys are such a blessing!

I absolutely love this place the staff is very friendly and professional. They care about your needs and get you in and out quick. I choose this place over any other dental clinic around. I've had allot of work done and have never had a bad experience or have ever been in pain. If you ever need dental work done on an emergency bases this is the place to go.

This is the best dental experience I've ever had! The staff made me feel comfortable and the dentist had my infected tooth out so quickly, I didn't feel a thing. It didn't even hurt when he gave me the novacain. I would definitely recommend anyone who has dental fears to come here!

I can't begin to say what a "Great group of Volunteers" that work here. I had dental insurance before I had major back surgery 3 times that left me disabled and was unable work any longer @ the age of 58 that was a major adjustment in itself. Then recently had a stroke and no insurance. So my dental work took a back seat. I developed 2 areas of infection in my mouth and teeth needed to be removed and cleaned. I was given information from the "Olympia Free Clinic that the Union Gospel Center might be able to assist me and get on there diabetic program. I called and a appointment was made. This office is very prorfesaneley ran and very well organized.. the volunteer Dentist's and Hygienists are the greatest to say the least. I feel so respected and welcomed when I come in and I've never walked away feeling as if I was a burden. I can't begin to tell you how better my physical helth has improved and has given me a great boost to how I feel about myself. This is a program that has been long overdue in our community. I don't know what I would have done with out them.. I do hope that those who sponsor this program will see how valuable and needed this program is to the well being of people like myself who have lost medical insurance due to a major medical issue. God defanetly shines a bright light on these gifted individuals who show so much compassion to others.. Bless you all for all you do. Sincerely: Margaritta U, Rodarte

Good ppl and good work

It is a good place. But the one thing I don't like is your spouse cannot come back to the room with you. Every other place expensive or not will let your spouse go back with you. It is a good place if you have a dental emergency.

I wanted to leave a great review for this place after they helped fix a broken tooth and the staff were so understanding back in April. I waited a bit to write this as I had some travel for medical stuff and knew they were going to call me in for a cleaning at a later date. So I thought I'd roll everything all into one nice friendly review.

I thought...

The staff here during the initial visit were friendly and listened to me when I said that my blood pressure always goes high during dental appointments due to PTSD, hypervigilance, a fear of dentists stemming from childhood, etc. They took my BP more than once to see that after a bit of being in the office that it was indeed going down and everything went fine.

That appointment went great and I thought they were awesome.

That was not the case this time...

The initial staff at the desk and taking my x-rays were friendly again.

When it came to check my blood pressure this time, it was as usual just slightly over the mark for what they accept.

This time however the hygienist, whom I hadn't met on prior visits, decided to be aggressive in their handling with me over it.

They kept trying to bring up that I needed to see doctors and get on medications to treat it and would not listen to anything I had to say regarding the situation.

They re-tested me after a bit and I was within range, and even then she didn't stop making comments about needing to see doctors for my heart and weight.

I finally had to walk out after telling them that their behavior was completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

I would honestly rather have all the teeth rot out of my head than be treated the way I was today.

I had a great experience at this place last year, however today my boyfriend did not. If you are black they won't accept you and they'll tell you to go up north because they don't believe anyone of color can possibly live in thurston county. It's disgusting. They'll talk about President Trump and ridicule you in front of everyone in the waiting room for no reason. I understand these people are volunteers (i think?) but why do they have to be racist? :(
