Dr. Purcell's Biography
Dr. Purcell's favorite part of dentistry is finding just the right solution to satisfy both his patient's desires and their clinical requirements. This calls for a great deal of compassion, understanding, and creativity, traits he has cultivated throughout his professional career. He was drawn to Willamette Dental Group for its evidence-based practices, its upstanding principles, and the built-in backing that leads to exceptional clinical care.
When he's not at the office, he's often drawn to the outdoors where he enjoys everything from seasonal camping to winters on the slopes. You might also find him exploring Portland's parks or taking in the views at Mt. Hood.

It's always a pleasure to visit this provider/office. Staff is always friendly and supportive. The only down side, is that making appointments lately has become very tough since providers are always booked.

the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth was excellent. one of the best experiences having my teeth cleaned.

I can't wait for a call back to get my wisdom teeth out and my fractured tooth smoothed. It will also be a relief to have documentation for any legal matters I have to attend to in the future from damages caused by another environmental cause than myself.

Hi, besides for trying to schedule the appointment, which has nothing to do with the Beaverton office, everything was great. Everyone was very caring when I was at the Beaverton office, the dental hygienist, the people in the front that you see when you come in, and Dr. Purcell always does a great job, and I'm able to trust them completely when I come in with dental work. So I really appreciate the care I get at the Beaverton office. Thank you.

Honestly, it was amazing. My mom was with me the whole time because I'm lucky my mom works there honestly a piece of advice to get you a mother that works in dental care because your anxiety will be zero unless you don't trust your mom, but I trust her she's been doing my teeth since I was little.

It was frustrating because I broke my tooth two days before my appointment to get my fillings. I showed them my tooth, it wasn't addressed, no one offered me another appointment, no one offered anything for me to do, and then I came out to the car and called in and now I can't get in until for three weeks. So that's disappointing because I have a broken tooth. So that's what I don't like is not being able to get appointments in a timely manner. Thank you.

The waiting time for the appointments is ridiculously long. We had to wait almost 4 months. They never schedule your next appointment after your visit, but instead you have to wait for somebody to call you and schedule. We waited for 3 months before they called me and then another month for an appointment. Other than the waiting time I'm satisfied with the dental care they provide.

Yeah, Dr. Geoffrey Purcell did the finest work that I've ever had done on my teeth in a timely manner and I've had other teeth worked on similar that I ended up with a lot of pain and weeks to heal. I'm healed today already. It's already closing up on where he extracted the tooth that he had to take out and saw out in pieces because they never want to come out. I've had four done now and no pain whatsoever. I didn't need any pain medication. He didn't cut my gums all up like the others had. He did it really quickly, really professionally, patiently. He was kind and I've never, I never expected to come out without a bunch of pain. So I mean I couldn't be happier with the guy's work.

I'm an older lady who fell on hard times, like lots of people, particularly during the pandemic. I never, ever liked going to the dentist; perhaps I used lockdown as a bit of an excuse not to go. After so long I was fearful and even tearful. Everyone was so welcoming, compassionate and understanding that I felt much better after a short while.

Tried to make an appointment to fill teeth but told they would call when they had appointments available. Disappointing since has to change offices that I have using for 5 years because they had too many clients. I really liked my dentist at old office

The employees are awesome and do great work! However it's extremely hard to get an appt. I have had three spots in a row get canceled. I have many fillings I need. I used to be able to get an appt in at least every two weeks or monthly a few years ago. But the staff is incredible at their job

Willamette dental was not accommodating to my child's needs for an orthodontist issue that was causing him pain. Instead of referring him to the correct providers they prolonged seeing him for 4 days which caused him discomfort. They did not have the adequate tools at the dental office to correct his issue with his retainer. They are not skilled with working with children and the dental assistant appeared irritated when my child was experiencing anxiety and had trouble keeping his mouth open wide. The overall experience was very uncomfortable for us both. Please prioritize young patient's needs and have more staff available that are familiar with working with children.
