Dr. Pradel’s Biography

Dr. Pradel came to the United States at the age of 13, knowing few words in English. She can still recall the generosity of a dentist who accepted just $100 she’d saved from babysitting to cover a full crown restoration. Today she credits that experience along with big dreams, determination, and the support she received from family and well meaning teachers for inspiring her along her career path. She was drawn to Willamette Dental for its work-life balance; equally impressed with the caliber, efficiency, and gracious nature of employees throughout the practice.

Physically active, she’s often found at dance class perfecting her salsa or meringue moves. She also enjoys the theater, biographies, and documentaries.

I've had a fear of dentists since childhood. They made me comfortable and were respectful of my past dental experiences that created my fears Great staff that were appreciated. Thank you

Too many times appointment is made and then Willamette Dental calls to cancel it. My appointment ended up going 2 months past original appointment due to this. The staff however are very good and the Doctor was excellent. No pain at all during a procedure that I would have expected quite a bit of pain.

I had a tooth extraction with doctor pradel. She and her assistants took the time to explain to me any complications that might arise and how to take care of myself after the surgery. I was nervous going into it, but with their reassurance and being relaxed by the nitrous, I had a good experience. It was quick and nearly painless.. on day two, after my tooth extraction, it's already starting to heal nicely.Thank you for a good outcome!

Me and my daughter after that apparently felt she was rude and wanting to do something right away and I felt this decision needed more attention and thought, I will be calling to only have one tooth removed at a time due to my daughter recent medical attention needs .

I was very pleased and impressed how the team addressed my dynamic. In that it is often to easy to be critical or agitated, if any of these characteristics were present, they were quickly diminished by the professionalism and attention to my needs for this particular appointment. Thank again for a really satisfying appointment ...

They need to stop assuming that you speak a language that you don't. Do not assume from looks or names. It's unprofessional

Always have an amazing experience with your team at the liberty and Lancaster locations. The doctor listened to my concerns and took my previous experiences at other offices seriously and put my mind at ease with the upcoming procedure

The Oral surgery was great. The appointment was hard to get. I was suppose to be called in 2 weeks after they got the referral. I had to call after a month and they gave me a emergency appt. I always get we will call u 2 weeks. They have never called In 2 weeks I have always had to call them after waiting at least 4 to 6 weeks. I have been with a patient for over 30 years. This company has been around a long time. They should have it figured out by now. Do better!

Dr. Pradel is most gentle in her work and care. Much appreciated. Just a minor comment... when giving care instructions to the patient, do it face to face. Standing behind the patient doesn't result in always clear communication. Otherwise, all good. Thank you!
