Five-star Reviews on Google
I’ve been seeing Dr. Guske at Downtown Seattle Dentists for the past couple of years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. I actually followed him from his previous clinic in Seattle because I found him to be a trustworthy/skilled provider. You can tell Dr. Guske genuinely cares about his patients.

They are great! Everyone has always been so friendly and kind. They have great hours plus they are quick! In and out for a cleaning while still doing a great job, being gentle and thorough. Would recommend to friends and co-workers.
I have been going to this Dentist for years. I have anxiety about the dentist. They have always been understanding and very patient with me. I would recommend them to anyone.
Ever since I started going to Dr. Ryan Guske at Downtown Seattle Dentists I could not be happier with the care I’ve received. Dr. Guske and the entire staff at the office are incredibly friendly, attentive and exercised genuine care. They took the time to explain, listen to my concerns, and ensure I was comfortable during the entire visit.

Dr Kim is amazing. Went in for a deep clean/scaling. She is such a professional with such a light touch. Truly painless and easy. The assistants are great and the front desk are so helpful and nice. 10/10.
I have been a patient for a long time and have never been disappointed with the level of service that I have received at this office. The whole team is attentive, caring and a pleasure to deal with... even when you’re getting a root canal!
I’ve been a patient here since moving to Seattle last year and I’m very satisfied with my experience. Dr. Alicia Kim has been awesome for all of my visits. She explains everything thoroughly and her work has been skilled and pain free.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Ryan Guske. His expertise as a dentist was evident during a deep cleaning session where he explained everything thoroughly. The staff was exceptional, ensuring a high level of care and comfort throughout. Highly recommended.
