Dr. Heisch’s Biography
Every situation and person is unique for Dr. Heisch, some needing him to listen, others hoping to be taught, and others looking to learn about his work ethic. To this end, he tries to adapt his approach to the individual. Willamette Dental allows for this type of personalized care along with a focus on what matters most, the patient. He remembers first becoming interested in dentistry around the age of seven, impressed by how cordial the dentist and staff were during his first dental visit.
After a long week at the office, he likes to get out and enjoy nature, walk his dog, or take him to play fetch at the local park.

Bailey, Diana, and Dr. Heisch are all amazing! They took so much time with me making sure I was comfortable and all my needs were met and a plan set!

Everyone was very kind

My last dental hygienist provided a terrible experience. However, the hygienist and provider at my visit took some time to go over my concerns and explain incorrect information given at my last appointment. I'm truly thankful for them taking the time to go over my concerns.

I had a filling fall out and was able to get in quickly in which they did an incredible job filling two teeth. They did so good matching the color of the filling that it looks like my real tooth. I'm very pleased and thankful! ????
Oct 19, 2025
Great team, doctor is awesome.
Oct 13, 2025
Appreciate being able to fix the filling on the same visit. Wish I could have been seen sooner.
Oct 12, 2025
Everyone was very professional and friendly. Great customer service. My only complaint about Willamette Dental is that it is apparently understaffed and that makes it very difficult to get appointments. Earlier this year, I lost a filling and had a hole in my tooth for a month before they could see me. The difficulty getting appointments is making me think about changing to another insurer. Great customer service doesn't mean much if you can't be seen in a timely manner.

Phenomenal care and compassion.
Oct 14, 2025
Everyone was wonderful to us when we came. I like they didn't push any dental work except what was needed. My last dental office was pushing more crowns. We didn't need them. Thank you for a great experience! See you in a year.

This was my second visit with the same hygienist, Bailey, and she has done an incredible job both times! First time seeing Dr Heisch but was very impressed with his professionalism and care.

Everyone was really friendly. It was a really pleasant atmosphere. And I'm very happy to be able to chew my food without pain again. So thank you.
Sep 15, 2025
Dr. Heisch and his team are excellent.
Sep 8, 2025
The Liberty office location was the most wonderful experience even with the nature of what is going on with my mouth. Thank you!
Sep 4, 2025
It takes a really, really long time to get into for you guys. That's my only issue. Otherwise, Percival and nice.
Sep 3, 2025
It seems that the team is working as a whole unit. The lady who assisted did an extremely wonderful job w/the filling that fell out.. From taking the X-ray to setting up my mouth w/all the things needed... She also found a little more decay and got it cleaned out before she created the new filling... I will be back soon for the crown.
Sep 3, 2025
When I called I needed my dentures fixed, which was explained to the associate. They said they can make me an appt to get them fixed in aprox 1 and a half months. I asked if they new of a place to get my dentures fixed they stated they could get me in sooner so I agreed, when I arrived I was informed that this was a new patient visit and they couldn't fix my dentures at this office. I was not happy with this liberty office at all, (being lied to is very disrespectful) now im still with broken dentures and have no idea as to when I can get a real appointment to get my dentures fixed or new ones. Thank you Liberty office for little to nothing, all I can do is super glue my dentures, and the best i can and hope for is that the lancaster office will call within a month or so.

This dentist actually made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety without being condescending. Not an easy thing, considering I have dental terror.

A great, straightforward time, and what a relief as well! I'm very glad to have been told what was going on with my teeth and what my next treatment steps should be.

Mt hygienist was friendly, and she explained when I had questions about what she was doing.
May 26, 2025
I was very anxious going in and had 4 additional teeth that had issues that I was worried about. The dental assistant listened to my concerns and spoke to Dr. Heisch. Dr Heisch was able to fix all 5 teeth in one fairly short visit and honestly have me my smile back! Thank you so much!
May 26, 2025
Dr. Heisch is kind and very professional. He explains what my options are and the pro's and con's in layman terms. I had the option when making my appt. To see another dentist and I waiting until Dr. Heisch had an opening. He never dissappoints me. It really is a pleasure to see Dr. Heisch. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Heisch.
May 21, 2025
They got me in and out quick as I was on a time limit and did a very good job at fixing a hole in my tooth from a filling that had just fallen out unexpectedly
May 19, 2025
I got major pain relief from the adjustment of my denture.
May 12, 2025
I loved the dental hygienist that treated me because she was nice and told me what was going to happen beforehand etc.
May 14, 2025
It was the first time to see this dentist(Dr. Heisch), but he had thoroughly reviewed my chart and knew my history, especially on the tooth in question. That made me feel confident in his evaluation. He also explained 3 options of care, and the pros and cons of each. He listened to my questions and answered my concerns.
May 5, 2025
Scheduling was a difficult process. I had to strongly advocate for myself to get an appointment within a few months of my due date.

Hygienist (don't have her name) was so kind and very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and provided extra info. I hope she has a wonderful maternity leave!
Mar 10, 2025
We were called back about 15 minutes late, with others who came in after us called back significantly ahead of us, while the waiting room and parking lot were empty. A bit frustrating, but overall ok.
Mar 10, 2025
They were kind, gentle, and let me pause when needed during exrays, as I have a small mouth and bad gag reflex. I very much appreciated that!
Mar 8, 2025
Dr Heisch does a great job of explaining treatment options in detail and listens carefully to patient concerns. He also keeps the patient informed of what is happening during any procedure and is mindful of patient comfort.
