Dr. Loren Tarr, DDS

Unprofessional and Terrible Communication

Dr. Tarr refused care for a cavity filling to my 15yo daughter with only two weeks notice, an ethical violation and a violation of WA state statutes as well as ADA standards. He set out to sculpt and philosophize. Now he's a dentist who rolled his eyes at me when I stated that I do 100% of the unpaid childcare and 100% of the breadwinning for my office. He's of the special milieu of practitioners who are dying out as they are outdated. His care is the same as any other dentist, not in any way special or outstanding - like other dentists, his office is really about the hygienists. Unfortunately, he fired his most capable hygienist - Danielle was amazing! - without notice to this patient. His replacement hygienist twice tried to choke me, intentionally spraying my tonsils with cold water after I requested warm water and then stormed off. In conjunction with a receptionist who the fired hygienist protected patients from (by interacting with her in their stead), I don't recommend Dr. Tarr.
