Jody L Brennan, DDS

As usual, I forgot to call in advance to book a dental appointment for my college student’s holiday visit. When I called Amanda was great. While she cold not book my son in right away, she did offer to call us for a last minute cancellation. Also, the staff are all awesome and take good care of us. My tooth broke while I was unemployed and Dr. Brennan put in a great temporary that has lasted forever. And as others are mentioned, never any pressure for expensive treatments unless you need them!

I was referred to Dr Brennon by a friend. I’ve been coming here for 3 or so years. This dentist is awesome … I never really knew what an awesome dentist would look like until you actually need dental work. Not just cleanings, those are standard.
Last year i was I so much pain, I thought I had a cavity — I called on Monday to get an appointment and they saw me the same day. They basically said come in now. Thank goodness — well turns out it was just an exposed nerve. Then just recently I needed a implant procedure. Normally this whole process would take 3 weeks, to get the impression, then match the color, then actually get the tooth. Dr Brennon put a rush in the tooth — called in a referral for custom color match then squeezed me in on her lunch; all to accommodate me having this complete before a trip to Hawaii. Honestly — way above and beyond what I would expect from a great neighborhood, family oriented dentist. Oh… And the entire team there is amazing too … My husband and I really like the new dentist that just jointed their firm.

I highly recommend Dr. Brennan. My husband and I have been to her multiple times, for cleanings, checkups, fillings, and wisdom tooth removal. She and her staff are friendly, professional, and do good work. And they don’t do any hard sells or pressure you to get unnecessary cosmetic treatments. Thumbs up.

This review is for Dr Brester (I couldn’t find a page for the actual office). She is AMAZING! My boyfriend sees Dr Brennan, so he called to schedule an appt for me bc I had an abscessed tooth. Brennan wasn’t available, but Dr Brester was. She was able to get me in within a couple hours and came in ON HER DAY OFF to pull my tooth. Dentists… they terrify me. She made this the most pleasant dental experience I’ve ever had! Definitely worth the trip from North Seattle!

Dr. Brennan has taken very good care of our entire family. We like that she explains different costs and associated benefits. This approach allows us decide which course to take. We were particularly impressed that Dr. Brennan showed us some problems with an orthodontic procedure that had previously been done on my son. The orthodontist told us that the work was as good as it was going to get… Dr. Brennan went out of her way to contact the orthodontist and got him to correct his earlier work. We appreciate that Dr. Brennan fought for us. Our son now loves to smile.

I know it was my fault that I forgot my son had an appointment this morning. I get that… but to be told the penalty for cancellation within 48hours is $ 50.00 is ridiculous. If the receptionist wouldn’t have mentioned that back in 2012 I cancelled an appointment so this wasn’t the first time I wouldn’t be so pissed. You sound so petty! Way to stay classy Jody Brennan employees.

I don’t like going to the dentist, in fact I have a serious fear of the dentist. Anyhow, I had a cavity that was causing discomfort. So, I went and got it filled. Dr. B did an amazing job! I still don’t like going to the dentist, but, at least I feel confident in her knowledge and skills.
If you are a bit anxious, try this office. They’re cool about it:)

Don’t waste your time.
I called to make a new patient appointment after I chipped a tooth. I was told it would take 3 weeks to do a standard new patient exam and only after that would they talk about repairing my chipped tooth. I asked for an approximate time that it would take to make a second appointment since I was in pain and wanted to know how long it would take to get it fixed. I understood that they have their standard procedure, but wanted to know how long I would have to be in pain for. All they would tell me was «right away». I kept trying to get an approximation, was I going to have to wait another 3 weeks or only like a week. I was only repeatedly told «right away». I made my appointment but never felt that comfortable with it and tried a couple other places locally. I ended up making an appointment with another practice for the next day. The same day I called and cancelled my appointment with Dr. Brennan. A week later I received an email confirming my appointment. Since, I had already called and cancelled my appointment. I tried to confirm that they cancelled it but they are closed Saturday thru Monday and do not «allow» cancellations over the message system, I asked that they confirm they had cancelled my appointment over a week ago. I never received a confirmation that they cancelled my appointment and I am so glad that I saw another practice. I got the feeling that they didn’t care about their patients (even when they are in pain) and that their staff either is inefficient or they are trying to get extra money with their 2 business day cancellation policy.
For the record, by seeing a Dr immediately after chipping my tooth, I may have prevented a root canal. I am pretty confident if I had waited 3+ weeks, I would definitely need one.
**Update. I did get confirmation the morning of the appointment (also to their credit, the first business day they were open after my second call) that my appointment was cancelled.

Dr. Brennan was refereed to me by my last dentist. And I was thrilled. She’s someone you can really trust. And the other staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. When I had issues with my bill they made it easy and convenient for me. I was able to pay what I could when I could with no cold shoulder. And that means a lot to me living on a very tight budget.

This was my first visit to Dr. Brennan’s office after choosing her based on my insurance provider, convenient location in Magnolia, and, of course, some stellar Unilocal reviews. I was thoroughly impressed by their clean and quiet offices; extremely friendly and skilled employees; and general ease of use.
I made my initial appointment over the phone, received plenty of confirmation/​reminder emails (not calls) leading up to the appointment, filled out my New Customer information on a laptop in the waiting area, and had a great experience in the chair for just a cleaning and grinding down of one molar. Pretty easy procedures, but they had me in and out very quickly with no huge hassle dealing with insurance paperwork and without making me feel like «just a number.»
Overall great experience compared to a few other dentist offices I’ve visited in the last few years.

I have been going to Dr. Brennan for a few years now for cleanings and to have cavities filled. I love my hygienist. I could sit and talk to her all day. She is efficient and doesn’t make me hurt or bleed. She is so positive and tells me that I do a great job of flossing. Little does she know…
Dr. Brennan is friendly and professional. She doesn’t spend a ton of time with you when you are getting a routine cleaning, but what dentist does these days? I know I don’t want to be in that chair for any longer than I have to. As far as having a cavity filled, their team has it down! I think I was in and out in 30 minutes. Maybe less.
The office is very open so if you like a lot of privacy with your dental work, this is not the place for you.
Overall, I think they are great.
