Dr. Ramirez wanted to change lives through dentistry given it had affected her own life so deeply. Though known for her smile today, she hid it as a child and credits her dentist for revealing that authentically vibrant, bubbly, and energetic personality. It’s the same quality care she provides patients at Willamette Dental, where she collaborates as a team and contributes her own diverse understanding. Cultivating a safe and respectful environment, she helps patients overcome hesitations so they leave with a bright and more optimistic outlook.

Best dental experience I've ever had. Got me in super quick. Was dealing with a lot of pain. The doctor was so patient and understanding with my anxiety also. Addressed the problem and got me out in a timely manner. Will only be asking for this dentist from now on. Thank you again.

My dentist, Dr. Ramirez, is outstanding. She is one in a million.
Mar 21, 2026
All went well ??

Dr. Ramirez is a great educator and clearly communicates to a patient what she is finding and options available. Most importantly I see how she treats staff (communicates needs clear, respectful, and motivated to educate them kindly) and that is very important in a provider.

I was in pain so I made an emergency appointment. They took x-rays and found that I had 2 bad teeth. They would only pull one of them. My experience with this office is that they would rather have a patient come back multiple times so they can make that bottom and top dollar. I am more then willing to elaborate and have this discussion however it will be made to be my responsibility and this office will NEVER accept their part in the accountability so what's the point?
Mar 15, 2026
Dentist and team were very kind. I was very unsatisfied with willamette rentals ability to call me back with appointments I need for treatment. I have to advocate for myself. Seems like nothing is ever available unless you call constantly.
Mar 13, 2026
My team is fabulous. All the members are so caring, professional and trustworthy. I am grateful to have found Willamette Dental on Foster.

The doctor was exceptional, she went above and beyond best dentist ever and on the plus side she speaks spanish

Our dentist was friendly and good at helping my daughter listen and participate in the appointment (opening her mouth, counting teeth). Where I have concern is agency-wide (this is the second dentist we have seen who did this) dentists are hitting their own thumb with their finger to demonstrate thumb sucking is something to stop doing. This was after I shared with the assistant that my daughter is very smart and I wanted reinforcement helping her understand the health impacts of sucking her thumb and why to stop. A dentist demonstrating hitting their finger as if it is bad and deserves punishment is not in line with anything we have understood about child development for decades years. Please train your dentists in more developmentally appropriate and non punitive ways of talking about thumb sucking.

I really liked Dr. Ramirez - she took her time with me to listen and explain things to me. And to investigate my concerns.

Thank you so much y'all!

Ramirez was fantastic! She worked so hard to make sure I was totally comfortable. She noticed nearly imperceptible signs of slight discomfort and immediately took steps to get me back to comfort.
Feb 26, 2026
They did a great job very gentle.

I was a wait-list for quite a while but once I got in then the actual appointment was great.
Oct 31, 2025
Our appt was canceled but no phone called had to be rescheduled to another Dr scheduled and waited 1 hr and was called back 30 min late for the appt time too. Us parents is running on a time frame too please we more on time.
Oct 31, 2025
Very friendly staff
Oct 23, 2025
I hope you resolve the scheduling issues. In hindsight, my dental needs were met, I wish that WD could schedule beyond 30 days, rather than waiting for a call back
Oct 22, 2025
I had a VERY hard time scheduling this appointment. I called for months and kept being told there were no appointments and they couldn't schedule out any further. It was frustrating. I was easily able to schedule my next appointment from the office.
Oct 20, 2025
The appointments system is very clunky. Honestly, the worst I've experienced of any dentist or health care professional. The care, however, is outstanding. Hopefully you can fix the appointments situation to better reflect the company and its staff.
Oct 11, 2025
I wish that your offices would schedule appointments out further. If I am told to come back in four months, I should be able to schedule that appointment without calling you again in the future.
Oct 9, 2025
Was a very clean building and reception area the staff was.very helpful and easy to follow
Oct 4, 2025
The staff whom I worked with were awesome and very helpful.
Oct 4, 2025
My hygienist was extremely thorough. I have had appointments where I felt like the hygienist didn't do anything, but this time my teeth are much cleaner. As for Willamette, the scheduling process is an incomprehensible nightmare. It should not be this hard to get an appointment.
Oct 4, 2025

Aug 10, 2025
My first appointment is a ways off but I expected that. I mentioned that I had a concern about a missing crown and the scheduler connected me with a triage staff member who scheduled a more urgent appt for the same week. I was extremely satisfied and grateful. The dental assistant was wonderful, as was the dentist that I saw. I apologise, I can't recall their names.
Aug 10, 2025

I felt in good hands, with a difficult treatment of Wisdom tooth removal.
Jun 19, 2025
