Dr. Ramirez’s Biography

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.

When she’s not at the office, she’s often found outdoors with her husband, walking their dogs, or sharing new recipes with friends.

The dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth was wonderful. She had a great way of explaining why she did what she did and what I could do to improve my oral health.

Nov 6, 2025

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.

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

5

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

4

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

5

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.

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.

Aug 10, 2025

5

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

the most important part of making a partial, is the impression...your ppl do NOT know how to take an IMPRESSION for partials.

Great experience from the person who did the xrays and was training, to Chris the hygenist, and then to Dr. Ramirez who explained things clearly and without judgement. I appreciate how kind and supportive of her staff she was and training process.

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

Jun 19, 2025

I would have liked some information before my appointment to know what to expect. I never had teeth pulled before and did not know how to prepare. Otherwise it was a good experience and the dentist was very pleasant and did a great job

Almost 1 hr late. Half of the filling fell out in less than 24 hrs later.

It's nice treatment good job.

Mar 31, 2025

5

I voiced my concerns and they listened. I was more nervous than my son who was getting the procedure done.

Mar 31, 2025

3

Honestly, not a single thing. It was clear that the dentist knew what she was doing and was nice enough, and I could say enough for the woman assisting her, but I am disgusted by Willamette Dental as a business and frankly I understand why you have a security guard in your foyer.

Mar 30, 2025

5

Although the dental staff we got were great we have not had a good experience there outside of this one since they transferred my kids to this branch during covid without letting us know. And they keep saying they can't transfer them back even though I go to a different branch that my kids originally went to. We are not fond of the drive to this location, the location of where it is, and the experiences outside of this one that we have had. I don't like driving my kids through that area and having them exposed to what goes on out there.

Mar 27, 2025

5

I just wanted to say I had a good experience and was actually thinking I would like to switch to that dentist versus the one that I have. I guess I could just call them to do that. That's it.

Mar 24, 2025

5

Really lovely, and the dentist was very educational and preventive about my teeth health.

Mar 23, 2025

3

Alot of technical confusion on how to transfer records. I've signed the release waiver twice and still haven't received them.

Mar 22, 2025

5

I am not the person that goes to doctors or dentists but my experience at Willamette dental was extremely good very nice and friendly workers and they're very clean and organized office and equipment. Very impressed with my experience. Can't wait for my next appointment.

Mar 21, 2025

Both ladies, the hygienist and dentist, were fantastic.

Mar 15, 2025

5

I liked the service providers at the Lents location MUCH more than at the Jefferson location, where I was very disappointed with the dentist. However, both offices seem to have problems running very behind schedule. Usually a wait of 20-30 minutes beyond appointment time before being seen.

Mar 15, 2025

I was hesitant to leave a traditional dental plan for Willamette because I had a poor experience years ago. To my surprise, the facility was fantastic, clean, private, and there was zero wait. Dr. Ramirez and staff were all great and interested in my comfort. Thanks!

Feb 26, 2025

Great staff. Always a great experience.

Feb 24, 2025

Feb 24, 2025

This is still a new office (and dental staff) for me, so time will tell....

Dec 20, 2024

5

Every employee I interacted with today was kind, professional and a delight to talk with. I also really appreciate my hygienist for distracting me from my anxiety haha

Dec 19, 2024

5

I think Dr. Ramirez is her name, was lovely, kind, very aware of my time constraints as a parent in a rushed situation. And the whole team kind of worked together to get me in and out of there super quick. Just very pleased from start to finish from the front desk through to the dentist. And yeah, looking forward to... Not a lot of people look forward to getting teeth taken out of their mouth or pulled out or drilled into, but I can say I'm looking forward to getting a couple cavities filled in January.

Dec 18, 2024

5

This is a new team for me and they are like night and day. I was having to deal with going a day maybe three with no teeth as they fixed my partial. They worked fast and hard and got them done in one day! Best fit ever!!!! Like a glove

Dec 18, 2024

5

I want to say thank you for everythink

Dec 16, 2024
