Dr. Les Seelye, DDS

I am writing this review with a heavy heart and after much consideration, two months post my dental appointment. My visit was for what should have been a routine filling. The procedure began as expected, with the application of a numbing agent before the dentist commenced drilling. Unexpectedly, I experienced a sharp, intense pain during the drilling process that was alarming enough to cause me to react involuntarily.Regrettably, the immediate response to my involuntary reaction was not of understanding or concern but rather a stern reprimand from the dentist. I was taken aback by the manner in which my expression of pain was met with scolding, rather than reassurance or a pause to address my discomfort. This approach, which I perceived as extremely rude, significantly impacted my experience and perception of the care provided.I believe that empathy and understanding are fundamental to patient care, especially in moments of vulnerability. Thus, I do not recommend this Dentist.

Super gentle and soft spoken. Doesn’t make you feel guilty for being an adult with bad teeth. Highly recommend

I find the hygenists knowledgable and gentle. I have not required Dr. Seelye's dental care in a while, but he is available for advice and questions as necessary. Everyone in the office is professional and courteous.

I believe the name of my hygienist was Lindsay. She said she moved to Bellingham about 6 years ago from Portland. This was my first time with her. She was very professional, friendly and helpful. I will ask for her when setting appointments in the future.

I have been in Dr. Seelye's practice for the past few years. Staff explain procedures thoroughly and expertly answer my questions. All are knowledgeable and want what is best for me. They have earned my respect!

I have been to Dr. Seelye's practice about 4 times and each time has been great! Dr. Seelye is patient, friendly, and explains things in detail. I received some fillings here and he was reassuring the whole time. I have also had great experiences with the dental hygienists. I recently had Lindsey and she was so kind, and did an awesome job cleaning my teeth, giving advice for electric toothbrushes, and teaching me new flossing techniques. I actually look forward to going to the dentist here!

I was referred to Dr. Seelye by my Canadian dentist for complex dental restorative work. I am 100% satisfied with the work thus far and have full confidence in Dr. Seelye and his staff, both office and dental. I have a bit of a commute, including a border crossing, to make my appointments but I have no hesitation with my decision to trust my dental care to Dr. Seelye.

I have been seeing Dr. Seelye for years, since he moved to the area. I have always received excellent, efficient and thorough care. He has a very gentle manner, and is very skilled with more difficult procedures. I now take my 2 small daughters to see him and his wonderful hygienists. Highly recommend.

Dr. Seelye is highly recommended. The staff are all very friendly and professional!

The star shaped sunglasses were a big hit with the almost 4 year old. Each staff member was friendly and made sure he was comfortable and knew what to expect.

I’ve been going to Dr. Seelye for years. From Renne at the front desk, to Nicole in the hygienist position, to Dr. Seelye, they are all excellent. They are friendly (always greeting me warmly by my name). Dr. Seelye treats his patients with respect and compassion. They all give honest advice about your care. I highly recommend this office.

Dr Seelye told me he was going to fill two cavities. However, he ground one of my teeth back and left a space that now catches all food and causes me great pain when I consume anything hot or cold. I am extremely disappointed! Neither before or after my appointment did he tell me he'd ground my tooth back. I called to complain and cancel my next appointment. Someone called to confirm my cancellation, but did not acknowledge my complaint. I am now worse off than I was prior to my appt.
