Dr. Buehler’s Biography

Curiosity in dentistry sparked early in his teens following a highly successful dental procedure, and his interest only grew after shadowing practicing dentists during college. Dr. Buehler’s had the good fortune of offering humanitarian aid in Mexico, Jamaica, Belize, and the Dominican Republic. Finding the ethical practice philosophy at Willamette Dental was just one more positive in a string of professional accomplishments. In addition to these professional accolades, Dr. Buehler is an Eagle Scout, a state wrestling champion, and was named Company Grade Officer of the Year during his service at the Langley Air Force Base.

He often spends weekends with his wife cheering from the sidelines at their sons’ soccer, basketball, or baseball games.

Using the call center instead of calling the dentist directly can be frustrating. The ease of getting ahold of the office is not great.

It was probably the best and most personalized visit I've ever had. My hygienist listened to my sensory concerns and gave me tips on how I could work around them. She was very personable. My dentist was very friendly, knowledgeable, good bedside manner.

Put the actual number for the office online. It took me months to finally get an appointment by calling the 800 number.

They were kind and compassionate.

It would be preferable to be given a direct phone number for the office so that making appointments and getting information would be both easier and more efficient. Frankly, the call center isn't either of those things. The call center staff are polite and professional, but highly inefficient.

My daughter had a dental emergency. When I called the central number, the guy pulled up her chart and was asking for my phone number. Then proceeded to ask if I'd like to receive texts messages. It was not the time for things like that when my daughter was bleeding badly from her mouth. I explained this to him then he proceeded to ask for my email. When I had asked to talk to someone in my local office. Extremely unprofessional.
