Dr. Hussein’s Biography
Hussein H. Fakih, DMD is known by his peers as hardworking, kind, empathetic, and professional. His passion for dentistry began in childhood when his pediatric dentist helped ease his own fears about dental care, inspiring him to provide the same comfort to others.
One of Dr. Fakih’s proudest professional moments came when he worked with a patient who was extremely anxious about dental treatment. By taking the time to explain each step, answer questions, and create a sense of transparency, he helped transform their fear into trust. For Dr. Fakih, moments like these are what make dentistry truly rewarding.
Outside of the dental office, you can often find him exploring the outdoors – whether hiking or visiting the coast. Nature provides him with a sense of calm and adventure.
Dr. Fakih chose to join Willamette Dental because of its commitment to conservative, patient-centered care. He values taking the time to build trust, understand patient concerns, and make each visit as comfortable as possible.

I just want to say, I had Dr. Fakih this time because my old Dr. is not with WD any longer. Dr. Fakih was fantastic!!! He talked me through a few things, answered my questions. Even identified something I need to talk to my PCP about. I am so grateful for his care yesterday. Thank you!

The dentist was great. I appreciated that he did not lecture me about not wearing a night guard for my bruxism. He respected my priority for good sleep over the night guard.

The dental hygienist was amazing! He was incredibly thorough and I don't think I've ever had my teeth clean! The doctor was just fine and all of the staff was awesome. It was annoying to have to fill out all of the health paperwork again. I love Willamette Dental

I thought that they were friendly, they were professional, and they helped me understand what I was going through. Thank you.

Theresa/Teresa (spelling?) was responsive to my request for additional accomodations due to tooth sensitivity, and did a quality thorough job with the cleaning. Dr. Faki was knowledgeable about options and didn't rush through the exam. Thank you!
Mar 2, 2026
Excellent service. They speak Spanish, which is very important for those of us who don't speak English fluently. It's a huge help. I loved it. Thank you for providing your services and for being so competent with such qualified professionals.

My original Dentist left, and I met my new Dentist. He is amazing, introduced himself etc, and made me feel very comfortable and confident with the changes. My Dental Hygienist is fantastic, as were the ones I've had prior. The front desk is always friendly, professional as well. The interiors are always clean and inviting. I am new to Portland and feel the practice makes me feel I am at home

Wonderful service

Overall the dentist was ok, but didn't really talk to us as equals. He also called my daughter he even though it clearly showed she was a she on the images he was looking at.

Very attentive, thorough and friendly staff. Thank you!
Jan 22, 2026
Good job.
Jan 21, 2026
I was disappointed in the initial phone call that went to a central system, as they could not schedule an appointment for me. I went directly to the office and staff there was wonderful and immediately set up an appointment
Jan 21, 2026
I was very pleased of the information I received regarding my appointment and the problems I'm having
Jan 13, 2026
The hygienist was excellent! I hope I get her again in the future.

Gabe was amazing! Gabe was so kind and friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. He explained what things meant, was also nice to the other staff members and made me feel at ease and not shamed like hygenists at past dentist offices have made me felt. The dentist was also nice! I always think "this is the time I'm going to get someone who makes me feel bad", but every time I come I get someone even nicer than before! Please keep doing whatever you're doing at this location! It's a great patient experience.

Good and efficient care in office. A bit difficult to schedule appointments. Would love an online scheduling option. Also the calendar should be open much further out. At all previous dentist/orthodontists we've had, we scheduled our follow up at the appt. Never had to waste time on phones/chats after establishing care.
Jan 7, 2026
No phone tag, good communication, good bedside manner. Very professional and everything was done timely
Jan 5, 2026

Dec 19, 2025
Dr. Fakih was great. I saw him to fix a broken filling because my regular dentist was not available. He was caring and thoughtful. I would recommend him highly.
Dec 19, 2025
Better than the last dentist

Great
Dec 12, 2025
All the staff and doctors were very kind and sincere and humble. I love them all.
Dec 5, 2025
I felt like my needs weren't fully addressed. I left home with a mouthwash and that was it and my problem still is persisting. And they didn't fully listen to how bad my pain was. Told them it's been difficult to eat and everything. So just being prescribed a mouthwash for it left me still in pain and disappointed. I have to make another appointment to readdress the same issue I was hoping to address my first visit.
Dec 5, 2025
Dr. Fakih is very thorough
Dec 4, 2025
Hygienist was really nice
Nov 23, 2025
The hygienist was excellent - professional and skilled. However, the dentist spoke to me like I was a child. He needs to work on speaking to his audience.
Nov 18, 2025
I just think that with my dental issues that it takes a very long time to resolve my tooth or teeth problems. I started a root canal procedure during the summer and I still have not completed my root canal and have to continue to take antibiotics due infection keeps coming back. Appointments are too far apart. My last appointment was canceled due to illness.
Nov 17, 2025
Good experience and attentive customer service.
Nov 16, 2025
My first visit was wonderful! Everyone was so kind and helpful. I felt like the staff really listened to me and were very compassionate. So glad to be a new patient!
Nov 16, 2025
This doctor I had, I can only remember his first name Hussein. So great. Explained everything and the reasons why he would do things. I haven't had an experience like this since I was at The Weidler Office and my first dentist over ten years ago. I understand the staffing issues, but this had been my best experience in years. Thank you.
Nov 14, 2025
the office and hygienist were not kid friendly at all. we waited 45 minutes for our 3 year old to see the dentist and he was expected to sit in the chair surrounded by stuff he couldn't touch for that whole time. we won't be bringing him back to this office
Nov 10, 2025
Everything was great!
Nov 17, 2025
Great!
Oct 31, 2025
It would be really helpful if I could book my next appointment on the way out. Even though you send reminders, it is much more immediate to set a time while it is fresh on my mind. Please open up appointments 7 months out.
Oct 27, 2025
I have always been treated very well at Willamette Dental my kids and I have been going here fir over 20 years I am also have anxiety from my childhood dentist So I would always every time recommend you folks !!
Oct 26, 2025
Friendly staff n very personable
Oct 25, 2025
I hate the dentist but I love you guys!
Oct 24, 2025
The doctor was kind, patient, and compassionate. He took ample time to listen to my concerns and answer questions. He asked the other dentist on staff to take a look at my tooth to get a second opinion. I really appreciate the care I received from both dentists yesterday.
Oct 24, 2025
The dentist was very nice, and explained what was happening, and my options for care. I appreciated that. DH
