I have been a patient of Alderwood Dental & Dr. Shumaker's for the past 3 years. I've had Invisalign and multiple extractions including 4 erupted wisdom teeth. Dr. S is a majician with a needle, I barely felt a single prick during the numbing process on both sets of extractions. I was very nervous having only Novocain during my wisdom teeth removal and the process was completely painless and suprisingly quick. My Invisalign results have been very good despite being a complex case. Dr. S and his staff are accommodating and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I have been going to Dr. Shumaker since I was born, my mom and her family have been going to him since she was in high school. I have moved around the country and had to try other dentists before and none have ever made me feel so comfortable. The staff feels like family and they really care about you and want to get to know you. I couldn't ask for better. It's fascinating to watch them working, they don't even have to talk to each other, they work as a unit, quick and efficient. I just love them. I don't dread going to the dentist. :)
