Dr. Sekhavatmandi’s Biography
Dr. Sekhavatmandi had quite the sweet tooth growing up, which led to his fair share of dental work. But it was his love of science and working with his hands along with this early exposure to dental care that prompted him to pursue a career in dentistry. At Willamette Dental, he found a practice philosophy that perfectly aligned with his own. He believes this emphasis on education and on patient empowerment along with their strong team culture and group setting translates into improved patient outcomes.
On weekends you’ll likely find him on a bike ride in the city or escaping the cell signal altogether immersed in nature either camping, hiking, or snowboarding in the mountains.

The meeting was great.
Nov 15, 2025
Always considerate with their patients comfort and if they want to take a break. Always telling them what it is that they are doing next. No surprises. Thank you
Nov 13, 2025
I forgot the name of the doctor that pulled my tooth. I can't tell what anyone does with me while being under anesthesia. Not a bit of pain when the anesthesia wore off. Excellent job, amazing job. I didn't take anything for the pain, which is a clear sign of absolutely best work. I'm lucky I had this doctor work on me and you should be the happiest to have him on your team. Thank you very much!!
Nov 8, 2025
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the dental team who treated me; they were highly professional and treated me with utmost humanity and kindness. Thank you thank you

Thank you so very much.
Oct 23, 2025
Great overall experience.
Oct 18, 2025
Everyone who helped my son took the time to explain things to him in such a clear and friendly manner. In fact, when we were walking through the parking lot he told me how much fun he had at the dentist.
Oct 16, 2025
Was the easiest, most efficient visit to the dentist yet! The handoffs between care team members was seamless. Ruben's teeth cleaning was quick and surprisingly painless. My third visit with Dr. Yashar, he was kind as always, and invited any and all dental related questions I may have. Appreciate his time and patient care.
Oct 17, 2025
The doctor and his assistant Rachel were so amazing! I went in to get a check up on my teeth and they told me I can just get my wisdom teeth, pulled there. I was so scared, but Rachel definitely calmed me down and talked me through the whole procedure along with the doctor. They were great !
Oct 17, 2025
Dr. Sekhavatmandi was very kind, considerate, and highly efficient. Relieved my pain, clearly informed me of my options and got me in and out in a very timely manner. Overall great experience.
Oct 16, 2025
I'm so grateful to have this team working with my son on his dental Care. I'll be looking into this for myself when open enrollment comes up. Thanks for your wonderful Work.

the whole team were very kind and respectful of my daughter and I. They reacted quickly when she needed a little break. The work they did do was quick and efficient. She came out of the office with a smile on her face. Mom
Sep 23, 2025
I've never had a bad experience there, and I've been going for a couple of years now. Everyone is very nice and considerate. They listen, and are gentle when working on my teeth. I use to be scared to go to the dentist, but not here. It's the best and I would recommend it to anyone.
Sep 20, 2025
Good
Sep 19, 2025
The doctor was professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. The nurse was also very skillful, doing a great job for my kid. I like them and this clinic and highly recommend them.
Sep 20, 2025
Always love the people at this office.
Sep 18, 2025
Dr. Yashar, Jen, and Amy where so kind
Sep 21, 2025
My experience with Dr Yashar and his team was excellent. Everyone was professional, polite and compassionate. This has been my best dental care visit. I am happy to recommend Willamette Dental to friends, relatives, and acquaintance. Thank you.
Sep 14, 2025
This is the first time in all these years coming here that I was actually comfortable being here. Unfortunately I usually get snarky comments from dental hygienists or a doctor that doesn't listen. I was very pleased with this duo. I have a partial that does not match the color of my teeth and in my past visits I've been told that my partial is discolored from whatever reason over time. Nope. My partial is significantly darker than my teeth. My doctor listened, heard and agreed. I'm actually excited for my next appointment. Thank you!
Sep 15, 2025
Thank you all very much !
Sep 12, 2025
Best dental clinic around. Thanks for always being through and friendly.
Sep 11, 2025
Very professional
Sep 11, 2025
Very good, very attentive care from the doctors. I loved taking my daughters to them. I give them a 100 rating.
Sep 10, 2025
Nothing except your front staff was great
Sep 7, 2025
I think you can most improve by calling people at the right time. I was forgotten about and I had to go back after seven people went ahead of me and then they told me that they forgot about me but they're going to try to hurry and fit me in.
Sep 5, 2025
Everything was fantastic
Sep 1, 2025
The provider was very attentive and caring
Sep 1, 2025
Great service but my daughters retainer doesn't fit after this appointment.
Sep 2, 2025
It was a fine appointment but as someone who struggles with anxiety and adhd I wish there was a little more communication. My provider did his job but he left without saying anything so I did not know if I could leave or not so I just sat there. Also, when he first came in he didn't speak toward me he was facing away so I could barely hear him. He seemed like he was in a rush. Other than that, he was nice and the lady who helped with my xrays on my teeth was the most amazing helper. She spoked to me like she genuinely cared for my health. Thank you!
Aug 31, 2025
Everything was excellent, the care and the work they did was very good.
Aug 29, 2025
The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and positive. Thank you!
Aug 25, 2025
excellent experience. i went in with a chipped tooth (#25) needing repair. i asked for a prescription of 2%i viscous lidocaine for oral pain issues (i bit my tongue accidentally but severely a few days earlier) and that was granted. the whole team was excellent and worked quite well together, and i was out the door in less than 30 minutes. i give willamette dental 5 stars for this visit, well done!!
Aug 23, 2025
Very professional service.
Aug 23, 2025
I need to say that the hygienists gloves smelled like they'd been in someone else's mouth like he didn't change his gloves after his last appointment. This was very disturbing as I had no idea what bacteria, cold sore, thrush, etc that I could have gotten from the previous patients mouth. I will say when doctor was examining it was obvious that he'd changed his gloves in between patients. This whole experience with the hygienist is disgusting to me. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my concerns, and I hope I don't ever have to experience this ever again.
Aug 21, 2025
Excellent!!!!
Aug 20, 2025
They were great listeners, as I am not the best patient and can be very anxious. They did everything that makes me comfortable. The only thing I'm confused about now is how I get my new appointment. I haven't heard contact from the front office, and I was told they don't make appointments on your way out, and I just need to make my first appointment. So that's the only in-clarity I have. Other than that, they were awesome. Thank you.
Aug 17, 2025
Every employee I interacted with were 10/10. The X ray tech, the receptionist, the hygienist and the dentist. All were amazing
Aug 16, 2025
Came early and they got me right back and was taken care of quickly and they were all very nice
Aug 15, 2025
Our appointment kept getting pushed and rescheduled I happened to ask if there was an opening and was able to get in
Aug 15, 2025
Always a great experience, wonderful staff and plus the best dentists!!
Aug 9, 2025
Practically painless fillings, done before my appointment time even came around because I had gotten there early. No guilt, no preaching, just very friendly, professional people.
Aug 8, 2025
They are always very friendly
Aug 4, 2025
My dentist is amazing and the hygienist as well! The process to get an appointment is exhausting I had to wait 3 months.
Aug 1, 2025
Dr. Yashar was very approachable, kind and has a calming manner which made the appointment so much less stressful.
Jul 31, 2025
Very please with the appointment times and procedures

Jul 3, 2025

Jul 3, 2025
I think this dentist office is great with my son who has Down syndrome. Everyone is kind and receptive to my concerns and gentle with his hair when he's there and also very patient.
Jul 2, 2025
I had a great experience with the provider and his team. Thank you
Jun 29, 2025
Everyone was very concerned and knowledgeable about my teeth and my situation and wants to make sure I was held properly.
Jun 22, 2025
Excellent. Service. I recommend it.
Jun 20, 2025
Willamette is best dentistry
Jun 16, 2025
Just thank for the passion and work you do with us!
Jun 12, 2025
Awesome dentist goes above and beyond to help you. The dental assistant was awesome too. I really appreciate that they were able to fit me in.
Jun 12, 2025
I would like appointments that are more productive where I get work done. This appointment they looked at my teeth for a few minutes and discussed my options with me only.
Jun 5, 2025
Everyone one had a smile on their face as they hustled everywhere!
May 25, 2025
My dentist is and has always been great. I recommend everyone including my son to him.
May 25, 2025
The service I received was uppove and beyond.
May 27, 2025
Everything went great, quick and efficient.
May 27, 2025
Not sure who my dentist is or will be, it is a little weird/ different.
May 23, 2025
Jen and Yashar are fantastic.
May 24, 2025
Well, I believe that there should be a bit more communication among the dentists because the person who extracted my tooth told me that it could be replaced. However, when I went to the second visit, a different doctor told me it would be very expensive. So, either I was told one thing during the surgery or I was told something else later; I don't understand. I would like them to agree and communicate so that I receive the correct information, allowing me to decide whether to continue with the process or not.
May 23, 2025
They treated me very well.
May 17, 2025
Excellent service provider, clean facility, friendly staff!
May 21, 2025
It was phenomenal. I'm continuously impressed at the friendliness and attentiveness of all of your dental providers. Your dental assistants and dentists (and maybe hygienists?--not sure what everyone's title is), but you've helped put our kids at ease. Thank you!!!
May 16, 2025
Everything was fine!
May 15, 2025
I used to dread Willamette Dental. Im not sure what happened but they have done a complete 180° from how they used to be. Dr Yashar is the best Dentist Ive ever had. I cant state enough how amazing all the staff are. They listen, they are kind. They arent forceful. Shout out to everyone at the Beaverton/Ground Floor office!!
May 12, 2025
Everyone was caring and professional. I was very nervous at first. I'm not a fan of needles, I believe the Doctor sensed that and calmed me down before doing the procedure. I felt safe.
May 10, 2025
Very good everything
May 9, 2025
Blessed to qualify with willamette dental. Very professional and highly trained staff. Absolutely loved my dental hygienists and the doctors are so attentive and friendly. Thank you!

Apr 30, 2025

Mar 22, 2025
I am extremely pleased with my dentist and staff. They are simply wonderful human beings!
Mar 16, 2025
Thank you for helping me I've needed a dentist for a long time anyway showed me a lot of respect I really appreciate it
Mar 17, 2025
They did a good job, but I understand that there's a shortage of workers in the health profession. And it seems to be ringing true in every department, even with the colonoscopy I just had. And eye doctor as well. It seems like everywhere there's a shortage of staff. And I don't know if there's people moving out or, you know, ever since, you know, the health care has been rattled a bit. So that's all I've got to say about that. All right, bye.
Mar 15, 2025
All good.
Mar 14, 2025
Very professional and friendly
Mar 9, 2025
The only problem is being able to schedule an appointment. We were told we had to wait for a specific dentist to return. Although after waiting so long, we ended up with two different dentists instead. They were both excellent though. Would like to know why this happened.
Mar 8, 2025
Thank you! I recommended to my brother
Mar 11, 2025
I appreciated the hospitality and professionalism of the team in the Beaverton location. I have had some poor experiences elsewhere in Portland and really felt like the staff here was interested in my well being and treated me with dignity.
Mar 10, 2025
People were nice and accommodating
Mar 7, 2025
I have always had a fear of going to the dentist but Dr.Yashar has been amazing answered all of my questions and concerns and made me feel so comfortable!!
Mar 7, 2025
I like the staff they are really helpful to get appointments
Mar 2, 2025

Mar 2, 2025
One the best experiences I've had at the dentis. Great team.
Feb 28, 2025
Wonderful staff, super professional and talented ...a great experience for me...Thank you!!!
Feb 24, 2025
I found the service excellent, very professional
Feb 21, 2025
I am really happy with the dental cleaning. The hygienist did a fantastic job. Dr Yashar.... was excellent. He saw a problem with #3 that I have been trying to get solved for over 15 years. He had an excellent x ray and noticed a fracture. He impressed me. Overall I am real happy with every aspect of the process.
Feb 21, 2025
I like the way they treated me, they are very kind and professional in their work.
Feb 21, 2025
Bad
Feb 19, 2025
Great experience in and out in less than hr for a pulled tooth
Feb 15, 2025
It felt a little rushed. I felt as though they were in a hurry to send me out even though I need to schedule and come back again to get my tooth pulled. Also, it seems counterintuitive that the only way to make appointments is by phone.
Feb 14, 2025
I really appreciated the dentist talking me into us trying to save my lower jaw's back molar! I was really assuming it had to be pulled, and would be a definite loss to me! I'm so delighted l was given an even better option to just have a filling put on it!
Feb 14, 2025
Once you get in the door and passed the headache of trying to make a emergency appointment at the office the dentist and hygienist were amaizing and very professional and fun to communicate with.
Feb 14, 2025
Everything was very good, the attention was the best.
Feb 13, 2025
Appointments are not available in a timely manner.
Feb 12, 2025
I just want to say that your team is always very nice and friendly and they're quick and you never have a problem. We love coming there. Thank you.
Feb 9, 2025
very quick, thorough, efficient and friendly.
Feb 8, 2025
Everyone was awesome
Feb 2, 2025
Thank you all for being there for me and the rest of us, everyone. And yeah, keep it up, all right? Thank you to all of you. Thank you.
Jan 31, 2025
They did what they were supposed to do and prescribed some stuff for my cavity.
Jan 30, 2025
Very friendly staff.
Jan 30, 2025
My son's dentist and supporting staff is awesome. My son's dentist listens to my son's explanations and takes care of him.
Jan 25, 2025
Everyone was very professional.
Jan 24, 2025
Everyone was so friendly.. I almost completely forgot I had extreme anxiety when I go to dentist appointments. Every single person I interacted with definitely earn 5 stars.
Jan 24, 2025
Everyone was very nice and professional
Jan 20, 2025
All good. All the staff were very friendly.
Jan 19, 2025
Love dr yashar
Jan 18, 2025
they were knowledgeable about one of my conditions which affects the way that I have to get local anesthetic, which was very surprising and pleasant that they did their research. They were also very trauma informed about my dental trauma of having teeth, pulled, and made the whole experience as pleasant as getting a wisdom tooth being pulled can be.
Jan 18, 2025
The nurse were very nice
Jan 16, 2025
Everyone was so friendly and kind. We had a great visit
Jan 11, 2025
Very good
Jan 11, 2025
Dr. Yashar and the entire team are excellent. Providing professional timely thorough tooth care and assessments for my teen, who also happens to like her dentist and hygienist a lot.
Jan 10, 2025
He was a good listener and offered preventive options to keep my gums and teeth healthier
Jan 13, 2025
All staff (front desk, DA, RDH, DDS) were incredibly attentive and kind. My only concern is the ability to get in for an appointment quickly. I have a fractured tooth, and I have to wait 2 months, so I'm hoping it won't get worse. I am still very much grateful for everyone in the office and the company. Thank you for all you do! God bless!
Jan 3, 2025
Dr Yashar was absolutely amazing with my 4 year old, and so was Rachel. I'd travel as far as needed to get my son seen by them again!
Dec 22, 2024
Both Rachel and the dentist (sorry can't remember his name) were great! Thank you so much!
Dec 22, 2024
I'm glad I was helped.
Dec 20, 2024
Dr. Yashar Sekhavatmand and his team are wonderful, kind and compassionate people, the energy of everyone made us feel welcome and understood. Thank you very much for so much care and professionalism.
Dec 19, 2024
Excellent attention
Dec 19, 2024
Dr. Yashar Sekhavatmandi and his team were thorough, professional, kind, compassionate, and welcoming. We had a great experience.
Dec 19, 2024
It was good and on time
Dec 16, 2024
All the dental technicians and Dr did so well I was blown away by how they would stop everything, look directly at me and actively listen to what I was saying. It sounds silly to say this but it's hard to find people let alone providers that are willing to just stop and listen intently. Such a great team and I didn't even feel a thing! Thank you Dr sekhavatmandi & team!
Dec 15, 2024
I had good treatment
Dec 13, 2024
Dr. Yasher was really nice. I only had a cleaning . But he seems like a great guy. Great mannerisms. I like how well he listened and was able to give me some advice on how to possibly further my dental care. The team that works with him, including the technician that clean my teeth they were all very sweet very kind. They made me feel very comfortable. I appreciate that as I really don't like going to the dentist other than to get my teeth cleaned.
Dec 13, 2024
When I made the appointment for my mom, the wait was almost 2 months! She has to wait a long time to see the dentist! We don't know what the reasons are!
