My dentist and assistant Annie were very good and very professional. I would only ask that they give a little more info about what they were doing at each step. But they had a very challenging angle to navigate, to fill my tooth, so I am very grateful!

Dr Kayla Walters and her hygienist Israel are the perfect team. They are friendly, kind, and really good at what they do. Israel was thorough with my cleaning but careful and gentle.

Willamette dental is reactive rather than proactive. I switched to WF and my dental health has plunged. It's so disheartening!

The only thing that I would make a complaint on is the fact that our appointments originally kept getting canceled over and over and over. So finally getting an appointment was a little bit difficult, but that's about it.

I've been a member/patient for 7yrs now! From the initial call to make the appointment, to the front office staff & to Dr. Walters & her crew, everyone has been fabulous!

Dr. Walters is #1 fantastic! She gives honest professional advice while respecting my point of view. She's very concerned about my comfort during procedures. She thoroughly explains whenever I have questions. I'm not the best dental patient, I'm probably annoying at times, but she puts up with me, always with patience & understanding.

All staff were amazing and I wish I remember their names but I don't. I appreciated how patient our dental assistant was with my younger one and his sensitivity with the xray. Dental hygienist was marvelous with communicating with my children and myself. Sure made their visit less scary. Their new dentist was awesome and very reassuring which I appreciated greatly.

Overall, my experience was good, but the equipment was not working properly for the x-ray, and so it took several attempts to get an accurate x-ray due to the fact that the equipment wasn't working and we had to go to a different station. So having working equipment would be beneficial. Thank you.

It would be nice if sonicare toothbrush heads could be given as a sample instead of regular toothbrushes, since sonicare are often recommended by dentists and are proven to be much more effective!

I was experiencing sensitivity with a tooth. I got an appointment very easily, and I am scheduled to get a crown in a few weeks. My dentist was excellent and so was her assistant. I couldn't help but notice how meticulously clean everything in the office was. The minute my xrays were finished the whole room was wiped clean immediately. I really love Willamette dental.

I get so much anxiety when I go to the dentist, everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Listened to my anxiety concerns and communicated to assuage them as well as checked in on how I was doing multiple times. Also, always love that no one shames me ever, only just "this is good..." "this is how we improve going forward..." Thank you!
Mar 7, 2024

Very positive and professional. I want to commend Israel, the hygienist, who went above and beyond his duty to make me comfortable during the X-ray procedure. I was ready to give up, but he calmly persuaded me that he would go slowly and we would get through it. Give this man gold stars!!
