Dr. Minhas’s Biography
Dr. Minhas spends plenty of time discussing treatment plans. But he also loves talking about hobbies, learning about interests, and building those trusted relationships. And he has always enjoyed helping others, like the time he joined the school volunteer group while earning a BDS in India. This took him into the countryside to treat so many in need. He finds the best parts of Willamette Dental are its preventative practice philosophy along with its commitment to patients and employees. His father, also a health care professional, showed him through example how to provide the best patient care.

It's extremely hard to get an appointment. I waited 2 months to get an appointment

Great job
Nov 26, 2025
Everything about my apt was very good. Somewhat disappointed that X-rays were not taken- I am used to having that done yearly to check on possible unseen problems.
Nov 23, 2025
All my experiences have been amazing the team has been very respectful and courteous.
Nov 20, 2025
Ct very good experience
Nov 20, 2025
The service at Olympia was wonderful. Willamette dental overall, however, is troublesome with appointments. I often have to wait two or more months between appointments, and I have significant dental needs. Two months is a severe wait.
Nov 17, 2025
The appointment was great. From beginning to end my dentist and the assistants were attentive and helpful with my service. I felt no pain and had no issues with my care. One of my best dental appointments ever.
Nov 16, 2025
First assist gloves really smelled awful Disgust with front desk personnel Said they would talk to manager ?
Nov 14, 2025
Very helpful. First time at this clinic and had heard I might not like it but was pleasantly surprised with a great visit thank you
Nov 14, 2025

Oct 23, 2025
Everyone was professional, helpful, and kind during my visit.
Oct 21, 2025
My family and I have always been treated well by our providers at Willamette. It must be a wonderful place to work because we have had the same staff for years which is a testament to this company's well being as a whole. Thank you to everyone here.
Oct 20, 2025
Dr. Minhas is wonderful. All my life I've had painful experiences with dentists but not with Dr. Minhas. He listens and he's very patient and he has never hurt me. He's very kind and regularly asks me how I'm doing in each phase of the procedure and always explains as he goes. He gives me confidence and is reassuring.
Oct 20, 2025
Excellent treatment.
Oct 13, 2025
O have a consistently wonderful experience at this office. Dr. Minh of is WONDERFUL!
Oct 12, 2025
Dr. Minhas is highly knowledgeable and clearly knows what he is doing. Mike was awesome and equally supportive throughout the process.
Oct 12, 2025
Always a great experience.
Oct 11, 2025
Only the lengthy wait time for my appt was a hindrance but the care wa phenomenal. My hygienist was kind, thorough, and patient. Thank you!! ?
Oct 8, 2025
Wait times between appointments is crazy. 2 months in between appointments can be the difference between dental issues getting worse . I also don't think I have ever been sore long after being numbed. I have been to several dentists and this is the first one that my numb site was so sore after . My wife said the same thing
Oct 4, 2025
My doctor, the assistants, the office staff were genuinely lovely people. They were professional yet personable and they laughed with me when I told my stupid stories.
Oct 6, 2025
Dr. Minhas and his staff provided excellent care!!! One of my teeth broke and exposed a filling. The clinic got me an appointment as soon as possible. Dr. Minhas saved my tooth. I have been going to this clinic for over 20 years now and absolutely love the service and professional care.
Oct 4, 2025
Thanks for making going to the dentist as comfortable as possible. I appreciate it!
Oct 2, 2025
Each team member provided me with timely information. Each team member has been kind and respectful. I misunderstood a team member and caused myself grief. I will do better next time. It is always a good idea to bring a second pair of ears to hear the same thing. After going thru extensive care from your wonderful team my brain does not work efficiently because of dental anxiety from the past. I'm a work in progress to overcome my dental anxiety.
Oct 1, 2025
An online hub would be nice to schedule appointments, refill toothpaste, etc. Allowing scheduling further out would be beneficial. After getting the text reminder to call for an appointment, the wait was almost three months. I would suggest either like i mentioned before allow pre-scheduling to be further out or adjusting text reminder time frames. Then the doctor wasn't available that scheduled date so then I had to wait an additional almost two months. If you ever have to reschedule, the patient should as a courtesy be placed on cancelation list. I was asked if I was a mouthbreather which I'm not - I know it was meant for dental health questions but my brain won't let go of that one. :/
Sep 29, 2025
The extraction went well without any pain. Only lots of blood for the next 14 hours. But only oozing is happening now and a sour taste. Glad when it heals up and the oozing stops. Will be nice to be able to finally chew food again as for now, only can eat soft foods.
Sep 28, 2025
The lead dentil hygienist was very helpful, respectful and kind.
Sep 26, 2025
I was extremely impressed with how quickly I was able to get an appointment and how fast and pain free the procedure was. Willamette dental has been an efficient, dependable, and caring provider for me and my family for over 20 years. Thank you!
Sep 21, 2025
Thanks. Very pleased with Willamette!
Sep 20, 2025
Minimal contact with dentist at this appointment and almost no conversation. Dental assistant was excellent. This clinic has NO assigned dentists. Dentist for this appointment is assigned to a different clinic. Every appointment I am assigned a new dentist so there is no continuity.
Sep 19, 2025
Taking care of an emergency on off hours was difficult. The help I received 3 days later was perfect when I went in to the office. My doctor was able to describe and work with me about my concerns. The team and staff at the offices were outstanding and helpful.
Sep 18, 2025
Scheduling appointments and getting thru to a person is challenging
Sep 18, 2025
Nice people!
Sep 17, 2025
Provide useful information and always listen and answer questions.
Sep 13, 2025
The best team
Sep 7, 2025
This is a very pleasant office, I've never had any issues or concerns.
Sep 8, 2025
Dr.Minhas and team have always treated me with respect. Always feel welcomed at Willamette, Lacey.
Sep 7, 2025
Nice people
Sep 6, 2025
Thank you for a relaxed non traumatic appointment. It's not always easy going to the dentist, but you made it a pleasant experience.
Sep 5, 2025
Dr. Minhas is a master practitioner. He is very empathetic and notices the slightest thought of discomfort in me and stops to check in with me. He explains what's going on and explains the options for a step-by-step approach with course corrections after what is learned from each step. No better dental problem solver in the business. As for the staff, same goes. Love Dr. Minhas and his Team.
Aug 31, 2025
Great staff. excellent wait time.
Aug 23, 2025
I appreciate the quick appointment to get me in for a broken tooth. It was stellar service.
Aug 20, 2025
Needed a filling was quick in and out. Thank you
Aug 15, 2025
All the staff were very professional, caring and efficient. From xray tech, Dental Assistant, Amy (I believe) and Dr. M. and the office staff.
Aug 10, 2025
Employees are are rude and unprofessional. Except the financial lady.
Aug 9, 2025
Always treated with the utmost care and attention , great staff , I highly recommend !! So professional
Aug 8, 2025
Takes way too long to get an appointment.
Jul 27, 2025
It took a very long time to get an appointment. Months out. It seems they are very busy and could benefit from additional dental staff. Overall good experience though.
Jul 26, 2025
The crew of people that helped me from the second I approached the front desk to when I left were very kind and professional. Careful and skilled.
Jul 26, 2025
The recommendation score is largely because I don't often give recommendations, but if someone asks, I would say my experience with Willamette has been largely positive.
Jul 26, 2025
Ali did a great job with my child. She explained what she was doing and why.Dr. Minhas is the best! My whole family has seen him for years. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Both Ali and Dr. Minhas made the appointment fun!
Jul 25, 2025
They did a good job. They were aware of my needs and provided solutuons
Jul 20, 2025
The staff at the Tumwater office is always warm, friendly and professional. They really care about their patients and they go above and beyond always.

Jul 18, 2025
Very good
Jul 19, 2025
Dr Minhas and I share a great sense of humor. This is always a great pleasure.
Jul 18, 2025
I love Dr. Minhas, he is calming, understands my phobia and doesn't make me feel bad about it. He fixed my chipped tooth and it looks great
Jul 12, 2025
Hire the dental assistant that worked with me at the 3pm appointment. She's amazing.
Jul 12, 2025
Rad friendly staff! Dentist was awesome! Very clean office!
Jul 12, 2025
The dental hygienist we had must have been new, she seemed lost and was wandering a lot.
Jul 6, 2025
I had a very positive experience with the dentist and assistant!
Jul 8, 2025
My hygienist possesses fabulous bedside manner, and the dentist himself is pretty good, too!
Jul 5, 2025
It's outrageous to wait four months to fix a chipped tooth-are we living in a third-world country?
Jul 5, 2025
No issues or concerns from start to finish.
Jul 4, 2025
Cordial office folks
Jul 2, 2025
Everyone works with kindness & professionalism except for one front desk employee.
Jun 28, 2025
Had an excellent experience and glad to be under the care of Dr Minhas again.
Jun 21, 2025
Everybody was very professional, very nice to me, good atmosphere in the office, and they got me in and out, and good work. So, thank you.
Jun 19, 2025
Great
Jun 19, 2025
I was very appreciative to get in earlier than expected. It was my mistake that I came in a week early, but they still fit me in that morning.
Jun 19, 2025
I appreciated that they took the time to help me. My issue was resolved and I am thankful. I was glad they could get me in promptly to their schedule.
Jun 15, 2025
Very friendly , knowledgeable staff!!
Jun 15, 2025
When I was a kid the needle pokes for numbing were painful and never took hold fast enough so all my memories of past dental experiences were having my teeth grinded away while I was fully conscious and aware of the pain of doing so. Needless to say I've always been anxious about dental work since but the level of skill that was shown on both sides made the entire process painless and easy.
Jun 15, 2025
A very pleasant experience
Jun 14, 2025
Excellent staff from all providers and my visit
Jun 8, 2025
Appointment I wanted to get in, shd've been sooner. Since I were coming back for the same service as before
Jun 7, 2025
Very good service
Jun 6, 2025
Filling complete. BUT per dentist the upper molar broke because the cap that Willamette dental did is to high!!! So I have a molar that fractured and now have a filling because of prior work completed at your business!
Jun 4, 2025
All were very kind and understanding!
May 31, 2025
I would like to not having to go thru the call center when making an appointment it gets very enjoying to have to answer the same questions.
May 30, 2025
Dr Minhas is excellent. I have been going to him for a few years now and I really appreciate his care and how he has taken care of my teeth. He is a good listener, great communicator and has a good sense of humor. He is knowledgeable and has great attention to detail.
May 26, 2025
Greatvl people working there
May 24, 2025
I visited the dentist because one of my gold crowns became loose. I was initially given an appointment that was over a month away. I consider that an excessively long wait to see a dentist.
May 25, 2025
The dental hygienist was extremely thorough but could use some practice around gum lines and being a little bit more gentle. I also just want to stress how much I appreciate how thorough she was.
May 24, 2025
Great staff, I love Willamette Dental!
May 19, 2025
I chipped a tooth and the nerve was exposed. They were great about getting me in and taking care of it. I really appreciated the fast kind service
May 19, 2025
Best tooth repair ever, thank you
May 18, 2025
I wish I could have gotten in earlier. There need to be more providers at this office. However, they took care of my problem immediately. They listened to me. I did not need "numbing" - I had a partially broken tooth and they took care of it in a few minutes!!!! The assistant also explained to me about what tooth paste for sensitive teeth and whitening teeth actually does - I had no idea!!! I was grateful for the information!!!
May 21, 2025
Staff were great, very friendly as well.
May 18, 2025
Everybody was great
May 17, 2025
Takes too long to get appointments
May 16, 2025
Wonderful hygentist , dentist & front desk team. Thank you for a great experience !
May 18, 2025
I would have liked a moment to get settled before having my blood pressure taken. It felt rushed which caused a bit of anxiety and elevated my result.
May 15, 2025
I loved how the tech learned from the hygienist how to take Xrays in a way that does not trigger a gag reflex. It changed my whole experience with getting Xrays done. I have a very small mouth.
May 15, 2025
Everything about this appointment was very good. Prior to this appointment, there were some delays. Thank you.
May 14, 2025
The dentist was extremely helpful. He adjusted my night guard so I could get it off more easily, it no longer makes my teeth ache, and it no longer pinches my cheek when I put it in.
May 13, 2025
Very good
May 10, 2025
Everyone is so nice and just a pleasure to be around
May 9, 2025
As someone with a big fear at the dentist, I really appreciated the kindness and compassion I was shown! They were able to help me out the day I called. Thank you so so much!
May 9, 2025
A friendly staff that obviously enjoys working there makes it a better experience.
May 3, 2025
Thank you
May 3, 2025
Just glad they were able to fit me in as they are quite busy, or shorthanded.
May 2, 2025
The place is welcoming and Jasjit is great
May 2, 2025
Very helpful & clean clinic.
May 1, 2025
Thanks for getting us all in!
May 1, 2025
It is a weird thing to say, but 100% true- my dental visit was the highlight of my day! They were kind, thorough, and downright pleasant. Sounds like an oxymoron, but it truly was a lovely experience.
Apr 25, 2025
Jasjit, was Awesome. She is very Knowledgeable, Gentle, answered all my questions. She is Professional, Polite. She is very Caring. What a Little Cutie. Thank You Jasjit for your Kindness and Professionalism.
Apr 25, 2025

Apr 25, 2025
Great dental team! Only complaint is that it you have to waite weeks/ month to get an appointment!
Apr 25, 2025
Appreciated Dr. Minhas customary professional AND tuned in manner. Also appreciated Mike, Dental. Very centered in the importance of his role and provided excellent care.
Apr 24, 2025
They were kind and gental ,and carring
Apr 24, 2025
I really like this clinic. It is friendly, professional, caring,. I would highly recommend it.
Apr 21, 2025
Dr. Minhas is by far, the best Dr. dentist I've ever had. He knows exactly how to fix my teeth, fitted me for my Appliance and gives me options which no other Dr./dentist has ever done before.
Apr 19, 2025
Very professional, and thoroughly addressed concerns and answered questions.
Apr 19, 2025
Due to a previous appointment, I was unable to have my treatment today and the dentist was very respectful of my time and schedule.
Apr 19, 2025
My Dental Hygienist has a perfect "bedside manner"! Top professional, calmly, quietly, and with good humor answered all my questions and responded appropriately to my concerns. She's "A Keeper"!
Apr 18, 2025
The Willamette Dental dentists and hygienists are always friendly and professional. They use layman's terms when answering questions or explaining procedures. They are always concerned about your comfort and make sure you know what is being done.
Apr 18, 2025
Everything was fine except the wait time. My last two visits, I've had to wait about 1 hour between getting numbing and the procedure starting. It's way too long to sit there and wait.
Apr 16, 2025
Very personal and with great professionalism.. good people
Apr 15, 2025
I appreciate the team was aware of my severe anxiety and walked me through everything, even when I was panicking.
Apr 14, 2025
They were good
Apr 14, 2025
Great team
Apr 14, 2025
Quick in and out. needed a filling. painless.
Apr 7, 2025
Excellent customer service.
Apr 6, 2025
I appreciated the dental assistant that when I was getting a shot in the mouth, that she would remind me to breathe. And that was very helpful.
Apr 5, 2025
I appreciate my hygienist she is very helpful since I have tremors and I have to take short breaks
Mar 31, 2025
I had a really bad toothache and I was able to be seen that morning. I'm glad I got in, as my tooth was infected, I was given antibiotics, and now will have to have a root canal and crown.
Mar 31, 2025
The hygienists were awesome. I have some breathing issues and they all including Dr were respective and I always know I am getting the best care,
Mar 30, 2025
Everyone in the office- from front desk to hygienist and dentist- was super warm and friendly. great experience!
Mar 30, 2025
Hygienist was super, as usual.
Mar 29, 2025
Have always gotten great service.
Apr 1, 2025
They made sure my experience was pain free
Mar 26, 2025
I was extremely nervous - it has been over 5 years that I have been seen (lots of huge life stuff going on). I was worried I would be judged or scolded. I was not at all and I appreciated that.
Mar 25, 2025
I am always treated with kindness and respect .All my questions are answered in a way I fully understand .
Mar 23, 2025
Best Dentist Office I've ever been to.
Mar 22, 2025
Excellent customer service. Caring and compassion along with professionalism and integrity!
Mar 22, 2025
The hygienist was excellent!
Mar 21, 2025
Thanks.
Mar 19, 2025
Love my doc! Thanks for another great visit!
Feb 15, 2025
Overall, very satisfactory. The office was clean. The doctor was good. Totally satisfied. Thank you.
Feb 15, 2025
Professional swift and very caring. Looking forward to my next visit here soon which is not something I ever thought I would say about a dental visit.
Feb 14, 2025
Thank you
Feb 12, 2025
I typically do not voice any concerns about my dental care as Willamette always strives to be top notch. I just want to share that the hygienist that morning had some small amounts of blood splatter on their gown that was a little off putting and I am uncertain how unhygienic it could have been. I didn't want to embarrass them so I didn't say anything but it was really distracting. They provided excellent care and conducted themselves very professionally, so I wouldn't want this to affect their work performance, but if they could use a sanitized toilette to check their gown and wipe down between patients, that would be great. Thanks so much.
Feb 12, 2025
Took a month and a half to get an appointment for a filling that fell out
Feb 9, 2025
I don't recommend, but you are always great.
Feb 9, 2025
My dentist was very informative and I've been Uber his care for years. I trust him total with my dental care
Feb 8, 2025
It was my first visit and everyone was so nice. I hope the great journey continues!
Feb 2, 2025
My dentist did a great job!
Feb 2, 2025
I was incredibly satisfied with the service that I received during my last visit at Willamette Dental. I came in with quite a few anxieties with being in the dental office. That's something I've experienced most of my life. I have some kind of sensory processing anxieties that occur, if that makes sense. It was very tough for me and they made it very easy. They were very kind and understanding and patient with me. I was there for an emergency appointment due to extreme dental pain and had to have an extraction that was quite difficult. And overall, just extremely pleased with my experience and very thankful for the professionalism that I received while I was in office by not only the dentist themselves, but as well as his assistants. Everybody was just extremely kind and understanding. So my thanks to them.
Jan 23, 2025
Dr. Minhas has been consistently outstanding as a my dentist. He has cared for my teeth and gums for a few years now, and always is very clear, knowledgeable and helpful in helping me keep my teeth and gums healthy. He is such a kind a lovely person, and his staff is great as well. Under his leadership, they excel at explaining things clearly to patients, and take such care with treating their patients like me. Thank you, team Minhas!
Jan 20, 2025
Thank you so much for making me feel at ease with my procedure. Dr Minhas was awesome and I would definitely recommend his services for the future.
Jan 20, 2025
I was very pleased with the quality of care and thorough answers to my health questions.
Jan 19, 2025
All stay were very kind and caring and were professional.
Jan 18, 2025
I always recommend friends and family to choose Willamette
Jan 13, 2025
Everyone on staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I'll be staying with your office going forward, worth the 90 minute drive. Thanks!
Jan 11, 2025
Good service as usual.
Jan 9, 2025
Need to be flushed after you clean.
Jan 7, 2025
I have a fear of going to the Dentist and so far both my appts have been as pleasant as they could have been. Great staff!!
Jan 6, 2025
The dental hygienist, the gallon who took my exams, and the dentist himself were all extremely kind, compassionate, and honest and upfront about my teeth and dental health. I was very open about having dental anxiety and the hygienist, dentist, and xray technician took extreme care to make sure I was comfortable and at ease while still ensuring to provide incredibly care. It was by far the best dental experience I have ever had.
Jan 1, 2025
The hygienist went above and beyond.
Dec 30, 2024
I was VERY pleased, happy with my care from the dental team Thank you!

Dec 21, 2024
It's was a great experience
Dec 20, 2024
For my entire life 50+ years I have had extreme anxiety when going to the dentist. When I joined Willamette Dental, the professionalism, kindness and concern that was shown to me by the staff and Dr. Minhas has put me at ease. I don't fret over my appointments and don't worry about being lectured and I do not have the anxiety that I once did. The entire staff that I have dealt with have been very kind and welcoming.
