Co worker told me of south family and I'm so happy she did. They are all so friendly and take the time to explain everything. Genuinely cared 🥰binbin ★★★★★ I have always been scared of the dentist, and I always leave this place smiling.The front desk staff is wonderful and I feel so cared for the whole time I'm there. The dentists are gentle and make sure I'm not feeling any pain, and the assistants who do the numbing needle are very skilled - I normally do not even feel the sting.There is not a bad thing I can say about this place. The atmosphere is great, and hearing the smalltalk between the staff always puts me at ease. The waiting room is cozy, even their bathroom is spotless and has great smelling soaps!Their prices seem to be similar to other dentists in my area, but this place feels like a hidden gem that I got so lucky to find.Thank you for all the great appointments, look forward to many more.Ingrid.Marlene StaleyMarlene Staley ★★★★☆ It has been some time since I have been seen at your practice. It was with great regret that I had to leave the area due to an extremely hostile and dangerous living situation and could not complete my dental care with you.I wanted to say thank you for your outstanding dental services. My dentist, her assistant, the front desk staff, and especially my amazing dental hygienist were professionally proficient in providing me the best care. I have yet to find a dental facility as on Point as yours.The only exception was the one female staff member who informed me that I did not require teeth in order to sing, which stung.But that doesn't take away the fact that you are one of the best dental practices in the NW.Stong Work!Cheryl MyrickCheryl Myrick ★★★★★ Dentists and dentistry are my least favorite physical appointments. I literally would rather have my left arm removed. However, I had an emergency and HAD to see a dentist. From Nicole answering the phone and answering my questions up front, all the way to the end of the visit with Dr Ladowski and Wendy I felt I was dealing with honest, caring moral characters! No money hungry, seeking fame and fortune characters here!I have found my home with dentistry.Knowledge, honesty, efficiency and respect still exist.Grateful to have found my forever dental staff.Shari LienShari Lien ★★★★★ I have been looking for a good dentist for awhile now.

We switched to go somewhere that was closer for us. Dr. Tomlinson is amazing, treats on the conservative side and is a mom so she understands kids. Brought my 13 year old in for a cleaning. I had to drop her off and run to GK for another kid. She said she was scared. When I picked her up, she was smiling and said that her Dental Hygienist was so nice! They had cotton candy flavor tooth polish and fluoride. She said it tasted so good. I recommend Meridian South Family Dentistry. They have always been so good to us and my kids like it there. The front office staff is super friendly also.Marilyn EubankMarilyn Eubank ★★★★★ We have been patients of DR Ladowski’s Dental clinic for over 23 years.

The office is very clean and organized. The staff is courteous and nice and my dental hygiene was super gentle.I saw Dr Tomlinson and I liked her a lot because she was very detailed with her exam and very gentle as well. She recommended I get a couple of fillings to protect some tooth recession, but wasn’t pushy. Also, the estimate was very affordable making it so that I will take care of my teeth for sure. My next 6 months cleaning is already scheduled and I love the convenience of the office being very close to home. I loved the TV on the ceiling; it helps making the exam less stressful.Patti WilliamsPatti Williams ★★★★★ I recently moved to Washington from out of state.It was an amazing experience as my first time here!Atmosphere was warm and inviting.The Doctor and all the staff was so friendly and very knowledgeable.Definitely found my new dentist family🤗Patti WilliamsJ BJ B ★★★★★ As a new patient, with dental anxiety, I was happy with the staff. The hygienist was careful and compassionate, and the dentist thoroughly explained the recommended course of treatment in which she suggested I see a different dentist who offered full sedation in light of my anxiety about being difficult to numb properly. I felt they were kind and professional (which has not always been the case elsewhere) and will return for my first recommended treatment.Tammy OpelTammy Opel ★★★★★ Dr Ladowski, his assistants and front office staff are always so kind, and genuinely care! Make me feel like family. I have been going for over 20 years, and highly recommend.Liz RothLiz Roth ★★★★★ Dr. L is a consummate and kind professional who knows how to give a nerve block like no other!! I am THAT patient; the one who always has an unusual amount of “injection anxiety” yet, he never fails to surprise me with his painless administration of just the right amount of pain-prevention. He a true and trustworthy medical practitioner. Thank you.C FC F ★★★★★ My sibling’s root canal was done quickly and painlessly. This was important to me because my brother is an elderly, disabled man who required special care. Dr. Ladowski did not hesitate to take on this challenging patient. Dr L is highly skilled and brings modern techniques to his practice. Our entire family have had various procedures done over the last 25+ years. His staff is friendly and helpful, many have been there as long as we’ve been patients. It’s the kind of established dental practice that alleviates the stress and anxiety sometimes associated with dental care. I highly recommend.Karen HendersonKaren Henderson ★★★★★ I always like the cheerful atmosphere there. Natasha, my hygienist was very personable. We’ve been there since 1983 when they opened. THANKYOU Dr. Ladowski for all your service to our family!Gma BGma B ★★★★★ I had an urgent matter. They got me right in. All staff were very nice. They patiently listened to me ramble on.

Even my 5 year old who was very nervous loved being there and told me she loved her Dentist!Terry SickmanTerry Sickman ★★★★★ Every person from front to back had smiles and the most welcoming attitudes. The receptionist was more than helpful in finding info I could not provide and the dentist and assistant were calming and pleasant... keeping me at ease through it all.Debbie SaulsmanDebbie Saulsman ★★★★★ I’ve been going to this dentist office for years. The staff have been the same, which usually means they are happy where they work. It also means they are happy when working on my teeth! I’m getting close to retirement, so over the many years I’ve used other dental offices and have never been 100% happy time after time. I can’t say that about this office, every time I’ve had an awesome experience. Keep up the good work!😍Donna WoldDonna Wold ★★★★★ Everyone is so professional yet friendly here.. I love that the Dr gave me honest assessments and didn’t try to pressure me into doing things that are costly and actually said I should wait on my partial until I have healed more so I wouldn’t have to come in for a reline as soon if I waited. Also she noticed that I was better ( health wise) since I last saw her (a few months ago) Most places would not have noticed. I’ve always gotten excellent care, and I will continue to go there.Toni AndersonToni Anderson ★★★★★ This is an exceptional dentistry. Have been going for years. My lasr review was a bit negative---and should not have been. I had some more oral surgery and r Ladowski helped me out. All staff kind, considerate and knowledgeable. I highly recommend. Good people. Toni L. AndersonDebbie VieselmeyerDebbie Vieselmeyer ★★★★★ My family has been going here for years! Absolutely the BEST in town! Today I had a new hygienist who was a temp!

Thanks Jessica for the royal treatment today! 👍👍👍Tracy FisherTracy Fisher ★★★★★ I refer my friends, family and loved ones to Meridian South Family Dentistry only.
