Paul P. age-53, Librarian
I suffer from a moderate case of "dental anxiety" and hence I am very
sensitive about dental care, even to the point of neglecting check-ups, etc. I
have found that Dr. Yaremko’s manner, and that of his staff erases nearly all my
fears. I have never met a dentist who is so concerned with his patient’s comfort
as Dr. Yaremko. He has the ability to put me at ease. I know he cares about the
fact that I have dental anxiety, and he has the caring and skill to alleviate
it.
Melanie R. age-57, Sales Assistant
I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Yaremko to all of my friends. He is
an excellent dentist and totally understanding and helpful. If you have any fear
about going to a dentist. He goes over in great detail and procedure a patient
needs. His office staff and assistants are very professional and personable and
go over all details to help you financially. Dr. Yaremko is very meticulous in
all he does and leaves you feeling no fear at all to visit the dentist.
Dolores V. age-73, Retired teacher

professionalism and that of his staff to meet all my expectations in choosing a
dentist. I’m very satisfied with the excellent quality of the work done on me.

The sincere effort to make patients comfortable, and acting on their wants or
needs truly sets this office apart. My whole family has transferred their dental
care to this office, and have enjoyed the personal care received by Dr. Yaremko.
I personally appreciate the patience staff exhibits with nervous patients.
Stuart P. age 53, Insurance Sales
Dr. Yaremko has been our family dentist for (about) 10 years. Even though we
moved out of the Bellingham area 4 years ago, my wife and I continue with him
because we know we’re receiving the best dental work both from him and his great
staff.
Trish B. age 44
While I don’t enjoy having the dental work done, I certainly do enjoy
relaxing in the massage chair, listening to the music and watching the videos.
Of course the drugs (novocain, valium, what-have-you) help too. I don’t panic
any more about going to the dentist.
Joyce S.
My experience with your practice over the last few years has been nothing but
care and concern for my dental health as well as making me as comfortable as
possible. Initially I chose you practice because you do not treat multiple
patients, skipping from chair to chair.
I have had just about every kind (at least it seems that way) of dental
procedures as your patient. Each procedure has been explained to me; if there
are any choices those are also offered so that I can decide what is best for me.
Jo Anne A. age 80, Retired
I have been a patient of Dr. Yaremko for several years. And feel very
satisfied with all he has done for me. Finally, after many years to find a
dentist who is gentle, painless, and also who does beautiful work is wonderful.
My husband, daughter and son-in law are also patients and feel as I do.
Catherine P. age 56 Sales
Since my first visit to Dr. Yaremko approximately 10 years ago, I have had
absolute faith in his knowledge and service. Besides being both personable and
professional himself, his staff is one of the best I have ever encountered. My
teeth have posed some challenges, but I have never worried about the care I have
received. I would highly recommend Dr. Yaremko to anyone who desires a very high
level of service and experience along with an attitude of sensitivity to the
personal needs and/or challenges of each patient. Since my move over 3 years ago
from Bellingham to Snohomish County, I still drive to receive my dental care
from Dr. Yaremko. Dr. Yaremko and his staff have always put the patient ahead of
themselves, and in that respect they understand the nature of true service
professionals.
Doug N. age 42 Realator
Dr. Yaremko has a very pro-active approach to taking care of my teeth. He
looks at what I need for the long run, which I appreciate, not just how to get
things fixed for today. I also love how gentle Sue is in general cleaning and
checkups. I will highly recommend Dr. Yaremko and his staff!
Mary G. Librarian
Eric Yaremko is one of the few modern day dentists who does gold inlays which
match the ones from my childhood.
He is the most caring and thorough dentist I have met. He, like myself wants
my teeth to be perfect and wants me to feel satisfied. When necessary, he sends
me to a specialist, as for an implant. And always before treatment, he explains
my options in detail, answering all my questions and dealing with my concerns.
Rodger T. Age 58 Retired Principal
As a child I grew up dreading the dentist because of the pain and discomfort.
Since I have been going to Dr. Yaremko I don’t have the some feelings as I did
as a child. During my several years as a patient of Dr. Yaremko I have not had
any pain associated with his dental work. I have had the opportunity to relax in
an inventing environment and also watch movies as my dental work is completed. I
appreciate the caring atmosphere and high quality of dental work that I receive
from Dr. Yaremko.
Nancy A age 60 Retired Nurse
Feel free to point out that you’re the only dentist who took the trouble to
find a substitute for epinephrine and that "Nancy has seen a million dentists
and says Dr. Yaremko is the best ever."
Susan M. Age 43 Legal Assistant
Hi, my name is Susan and I’m 43 years old. For a long time I "hated"
dentists! In fact, my dislike was so strong that I avoided them for over 10
years. My biggest fear- the shots. Then I found Eric Yaremko who understood my
fear and worked with the resistant me to find ways to overcome my dread.
Recently, I have had some major dental work done because of a childhood
abnormality. Now, because of these wonderful things called drugs, I don’t worry
about upcoming dental appointments and it doesn’t matter what the procedure is.
My anxiety management plan includes Triazolam, an under the tongue pill taken an
hour before the appointment that makes me feel groggy and relaxed, with an "I
don’t care" attitude, but no anxiety. Also Eric uses a numbing agent on my gums
and nitrous oxide (gas). Sound like a lot, but it’s not and I wouldn’t do it any
other way. I guess my message to those who are afraid is- there’s a way. It may
not be my way, but you can find it!
Rusling age 38
It is my pleasure to testify to the excellent care you have provided
throughout the years. The first comments that I have already made to those who
suffer the same level of dental anxiety may or may not be helpful in you
campaign.
I explain that Novocain shots, nitrous oxide and prescription muscle relaxing
drugs can be dispensed by any dentist. What solidifies my commitment to your
office is the assessment of what treatment works best for my level of anxiety.
The amount of time and sincerity invested in the delivery of care for my anxiety
has built a foundation of trust. It is that trust that treats true deeply rooted
anxiety. The quality of repairs and commitment to craftsmanship is obvious,
admired and depended on.
Over time, the anticipation of a construction worker standing on my chest
with a jackhammer in my mouth prior to an appointment has faded away. My anxiety
may never completely vanish, but I know that when I leave your office, I have
received the best technical and emotional care I have ever experienced. It’s all
about trust my friend. The hygienist and office staffs are all on board with my
history of anxiety. That same commitment to care is experienced throughout your
office and has represented continuity and consistency throughout the years.
Thank you so much for your God given talents and skill.
Paul C. Pre-press, Typesetter, Imagsetter
Dr. Yaremko has always explained my options when treating me. He, and his
staff, seem to place my comfort high in their priorities of my dental care.
Pat M. age 46 Design Engineer
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts on your method
of treatment.
First of all, in my 46 years I have had more than my share of bad experiences
with dentists. When I met my wife in 1982 I had not seen a dentist for 10 years.
My gums and teeth were in very bad shape.
We moved to Bellingham in the summer of 1990. Our daughter was 14 months old
at the time. She came to see you when she turned 18 months old and that started
our history with you. You are the only dentist she feels safe with. She is
terrified of needles. Which brings this to me. I fist came to see you in 1992 I
was very nervous and scared. You from the fist moment we met put me at ease.
When you began to treat my multitude of problems you were direct, empathetic,
and sympathetic to my fears. I have since almost become comfortable in you
chair. I still have some fears about needles and root canals, but with out your
sensitive and kind outlook I would have let my teeth go bad.
My family and I would like to thank you for your never ending excellent work
when it comes to tooth and gum health and repair. You have become a most trusted
and welcome family friend and we appreciate all that you do, for us and the rest
of your clientele. Thank you so much.
