Ballard Pediatric Dentistry

We absolutely love Ballard Pediatric Dentistry! Everyone in the office is so kind and professional. Dr. Mamiko is amazing with kids — she’s patient, gentle, and really takes the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Jola is wonderful too! She’s so sweet and great at helping kids feel at ease during their visit. The whole office has such a warm and welcoming vibe, and they make what could be a stressful appointment really fun for the kids. I can’t recommend Dr. Mamiko and her team enough — they truly go above and beyond. Thank you BPD!

We've had a decade of amazing care at this Ballard Pediatric Dentistry. My daughter is now 13 and I she needed an extraction due to a growth issue. I just want to say I was so impressed with how Dr Mamiko treated my daughter. She took time to explain everything and I really appreciated her both educating my daughter but also having fun while she did it. Both my daughter and I would highly recommend Dr Mamiko and her team. PS: also The front desk people were courteous and professional.

We are incredibly grateful for the care our daughter received in addressing two severe cavities. Dr. Mamiko went above and beyond. She fit us into her schedule when we couldn't get seen for oral surgery at our regular dentist for 2 months. She was very sensitive to our 4yo daughter's pain and followed up with us to ensure antibiotics and tylenol were working while we waited for the surgery. The biggest thing is she took the time to thoroughly explain options to us. Our prior dentist wanted to pull two teeth and hadn't gotten quality xrays (due to child not cooperating well). Dr. Mamiko's staff were very patient and gentle and got great images. Dr. Mamiko counseled us not to pull the teeth because it would create misalignment as adult teeth grew in - something the prior dentist didn't bother to point out. The surgery went very well. We were very impressed by the professionalism and genuine care shown by Dr. Mamiko and her staff. We will always remember it and will point other families here if they have young children needing dental operations. I wish she was in network with our insurance. But the charges did not end up being that much more out of pocket than the in network patien

Even though we were notified well in advance by e-mail and snail mail that Dr. Mamiko would no longer be in network with our dental insurance and we would be fully responsible for the costs, we decided to stay with her practice for the top notch care. In addition to many cleanings, our kiddo had a very gentle tooth extraction with Dr. Mamiko. She was so kind and caring before and during the procedure. Afterwards, my kid was requesting that all her baby teeth get extracted in the future by Dr. Mamiko because it was such a positive experience! I highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants high touch and attentive dental care.

We have been bringing our children here for many years as Dr Mamiko is wonderful and excellent at communicating and teaching my kids about tooth health. She and the hygienists make their visits very fun and my kids look forward to them. Sadly, the newer receptionist at the check in desk was unfriendly and had a negative tone both in person (when I was there at the most recent visit) and on the phone on more then one occasion when I called. She made me feel uncomfortable and I didn’t appreciate her attitude. Due to these poor experiences with her I do not recommend this office.
