Dr. Flemming’s Biography

Patient comfort is most important for Dr. Flemming, and this only happens with trust. He’s forthright with patients and sensitive, drawn to Willamette Dental for its evidence-based approach to dentistry and for its family-like atmosphere. He doesn’t just treat but also educates, helping even the most high-risk become cavity-free. And with two other dentists in his family, he’s always understood the importance of oral health. Dr. Flemming is dependable and fair, persistent and calm.

He’s happy to live in the Pacific Northwest, where he likes to spend weekends at home with his family, relaxing in nature, hiking, or camping.

The appointment slot for me kept getting cancelled over and over. I did not appreciate that, but once there and they finally allowed me to keep my appointment time, my experience was great. They really need to allow people to keep their appointment slots.

All good thanks.

5

My hygienist was patient and compassionate. She respected my PTSD face trauma triggers, which she diligently avoided or prepared me for when they couldn't be avoided; not something I've experienced before. The gentleman assistant was the same when doing my x-rays & prepping me. Dr. Flemming was clear & took time to thoroughly explain my jaw problem & remedies. He, too, was respectful of my PTSD. These people are a RARE find, for which I am very grateful. My first experience & now this 2nd time have sealed this office as my permanent dentistry.

I am so very happy with the service that I got there. I happened to be in a wheelchair and on crutches, and I was taken care of like a queen. Dr. Flemming is wonderful, and his assistants are very, very good. Thank you very, very much. I look forward to coming back.

Aug 23, 2025

Thank you it was a very good experience but they should have gave me more pain medicine at the end when I got my tooth pulled besides that everything went well thank you

Aug 21, 2025

5

With all due respect, I'm doing very well. The only thing is that they're giving me remote appointments, and if it were possible earlier, it would be better. Thank you.

That was the best experience I've had there. The dental assistant Jing was very thorough when taking X-rays, the dental hygienist was very kind and understanding to my tooth sensitivity. Dr. Flemming listened to my concerns and took the time to explain things to me. I really appreciated that and my visit was great.

Clean office. Professional people

Jun 24, 2025

I was stunned at how attentive and professional everyone was. The demeanor of the hygienist, anesthesiologist and dentist made the entire process so much less stressful. I was incorrect w where I thought my issue was located, but the dentist quickly located the real source of the problem. I was also SO appreciative that they were able to make time for me on the same day that I called because the pain was severe. I don't think I have ever been this impressed w a medical office before!

Jun 21, 2025

The team was very professional and made it very pleasant to be there with smiles and fun

All the three people I saw at my dentist visit were professional. I gave a 10 out of 10. I was seen almost immediately and I could not find anything they needed to work on. Everything was A++.

Apr 23, 2025

5

Very good experience. I wish my children could go to that same clinic in the future.

Apr 16, 2025

5

It was an emergency situation. We were able to get in soon, but we had to wait 3 hours to see the dentist. It would have been better if we could have been put on call and we could have been there in 15 minutes.

Apr 14, 2025

5

The receptionist are very friendly and helpful. The waiting room is always clean. They have always been right on schedule for us.

By far the worst dental experience I've ever had. Extremely unprofessional & the lack of regard for care is insane!

Feb 16, 2025

5

I appreciated the communication about what to expect. As a neurodivergent person, I think you can up your game for visual supports in making your space less clinical and more warm. Your trauma informed care is decent, but could be great with some minor improvements.

Feb 12, 2025

5

Yeah, the doctor was very nice and all the nurses who helped me also very, very nice and very informative. And also go on extra mile and suggested, you know, more treatment, which I was not thinking of. Thank you very much.

Feb 10, 2025

5

I am very thankful for the human kindness.

Feb 10, 2025

5

I wish there was more knowledge on how to manage dental anxiety in patients. Weighted blankets would be super appreciated as well as calming music. I brought my own as well as other tools to soothe me but I've had a lot of dental trauma due to terrible providers

Feb 10, 2025

5

They are very professional. I am satisfied with the work they have done for me.

Jan 27, 2025

5

Very professional, accurate, fast, and friendly.

Jan 26, 2025

4

It would be nice to be able to make an appointment when I leave. And because they will not allow that to happen it would be nice to have a reminder call for future appointments.

Jan 26, 2025

5

Extremely professional and attentive! Would come again!

Jan 19, 2025

5

Everyone at the facility is excellent, but trying to schedule an appointment without months long wait is awful for the child.

Jan 20, 2025

I had three providers that day. I had a dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth and she did pretty darn well. I had the dentist himself who did well and listened to my needs. And I had one assistant who was sort of rough and not very gentle, especially with some of the tools to suction out of my mouth. I just thought it should be noted that the assistant was a little bit rougher than what was comfortable. And I wanted to make note of that. Okay, thank you. Otherwise, the care was good.

Jan 19, 2025

5

It was the best!!!!!

Jan 18, 2025

5

Very kind staff! We felt welcomed and at ease.

Jan 13, 2025

5

Dr Flemming, Danica and Sindy gave me excellent care. Danica took painless and excellent X-rays and Sindy has such a gentle hand with her cleanings. Dr Flemming was very informative and was comforting to me when he found my lozenge on the rough of my mouth and didn't make me feel judged .I really love my care team and provider I would highly recommend them

Jan 13, 2025

The workers are very friendly and they explain things well and the staff serves you well.

Excellent care from dentist and assistant. Thank you.

Jan 8, 2025

Prescription information wasn't the most clear, and the appointment took a couple months to be scheduled from when I called. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Jan 6, 2025

I have the best doctor.He is very good and professional.

Jan 6, 2025

I loved the treatment since I arrived at Willamette including the welcoming and the attention of all the providers. Each one of them attended very well and explained very well all my treatment in detail. Everything was excellent. I loved my primary provider and the care. I have nothing to complain about. I'd recommend it 100%. Thanks! Have a lovely weekend. Bye.

I want you to know that I had a far above expectation experience. The staff was very attentive, professional and punctual. Each team member went out of their way to offer assistance. The entire office seemed joyous to be there and each individual was a stand out as well as the team. Who goes to the dentist and tells you they are thrilled with the service and skill they received? I just did!

Dec 18, 2024

5

Everything was perfectly done, professionally done. She was very thorough. Everything went well, as she explained. I have no complaints. Would refer someone else there if the opportunity arose. Thank you.
