Dr. Russell Nomi

Dentists keep the neighborhood functional. Dr. Russell Nomi handles routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency care without fanfare. The practice sits at 6507 132nd Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98033, a low-slung strip near the freeway overpass where traffic thins after rush hour.

Patients show up for check-ups, root canals, and extractions when the pain outweighs the dread. They also schedule cosmetic work—whitening, veneers—though the parking lot suggests most people come for necessity, not vanity. The place doesn’t advertise sedation options, but the steady stream of cars implies they don’t need to.

Call (425) 881-9333 to book an appointment. Directions are straightforward: map here. The office shares a block with a dry cleaner and a taqueria, the kind of mix that keeps Kirkland’s east side unpretentious.
