Dr. Gorman’s Biography
Before pursuing dentistry, Dr. Gorman earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. This is knowledge she carries forward into her practice and is most proud of her work in helping patients feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed. She enjoys the rich sense of community Willamette Dental has to offer, where she can collaborate with other dentists and hear their perspective on diagnoses or treatment plans. The emphasis on evidence-based dentistry and preventative care was just as appealing to her.
A fan of the Portland food scene, she’s known to spend weekends sampling new cuisines or trying out her own recipes at home. She’s also a certified rescue diver.

It is really hard to reschedule an appointment when I canceled due to a family emergency. But due to a cancelation from another patient,I got in. I have to rely on another cancelation to get my filling repaired. Not an emergency thankfully.

You know, when you go to the dentist and it's fun because the hygienist and the dentist both have a great sense of humor, it just makes it all that better. I mean, just, yeah, 10 out of 10. Thanks.

I've always had a fear of going to the Dentist office, but these guys or should I say these girls alleviate all my fears and are very welcoming and professional. I look forward to seeing them when I need services.

I hate the fact that I broke a grown that was already weakened, and yet instead of fixing it first I have to finish my other while my tooth has no grown on it and I have to wait when it should be first.
Sep 1, 2025
Thank you Dr. Gorman and team for taking care of me. Although you were understaff that day but yet you still managed to keep things flowing. Great job!
Aug 31, 2025

My doctor is so exceptional. I was terrified of a dentist, and she has worked with me and is very patient and very kind and very sweet. Her associate, Dr. Gorman's associate, is also very knowledgeable and very kind and sweet, and I extremely appreciate their patience and time and effort that they have taken it a lot better with me to be there. Thank you very much, Dr. Gorman. I'm so grateful for you and your assistance and I'm so thankful that I have found you.

Cindy was amazing! Dr Gorman is great as well, but Cindy was kind, explained things thoroughly, was very calming and just a great support to the Dr. Really enjoy them both!!
Aug 15, 2025
All good.
Aug 10, 2025
Everyone listened to my concerns and answered my questions in a way I could understand. My only concern is the scheduling process. It would be very helpful if I could schedule my next visit when I am already in the office for my visit.

I felt like there was a long wait time especially for the dentist. This can be challenging especially with kids. Also, it was difficult to find appointments at the same time for my 2 kids.
Jul 12, 2025
Willamette Dental continues to be professional and friendly. Love it!
Jul 13, 2025
I love my Dentist Dr Gorman. Which is amazing for me to say since I really hate going to the dentist. She is the only dentist i have ever known who can administer Novocain and it barely hurts. She is so compassionate. Cindy my dental assistant is top notch!! Even when she is not assigned to me she greats me and asks how I am doing. But it is not just that, she is GOOD! The two crowns she did fit perfectly. I wish I could always have Cindy. Don't loose her, with all the new technology coming you need someone who can quickly grasp and master it.
Jul 12, 2025
So glad for the emergency appt that was open!

Very good
Jun 30, 2025
This place is run as well as a government entity. Make me go to a dentist when we want a dentist. Huge waste of time. Why does a dentist need to approve a second set of dentures. Nothing efficient or organized about that s place.
Jun 30, 2025
I have always had a fantastic experience coming to Willamette Dental. The staff is fast and professional and they care about your needs.

Jun 20, 2025

Jun 18, 2025
The experience was great but this the second time I've been there and at the end of the appointment we don't schedule the next appointment. I have to wait for a call to schedule or call and do it myself. I not used to doing it that way.
Jun 19, 2025
The team is caring and friendly.
Jun 14, 2025
Great people, great care
Jun 10, 2025
Very friendly staff. Rosie and Cece were fun to work with. Cece was very good in instructing/informing the visiting student on how things work. Dr. Gorman as always is very nice and thorough.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and ultrasound (US) would be nice alternatives to radiographs.

The staff was awesome. Thanks
May 26, 2025
Went in for an emergency appointment. The temporary tooth broke. The person took it and glued the same piece back on. I tried making an appointment at the front desk as I was told by the person on the phone. She was so unhelpful and short. Like she didn't know anything

My son has sensory processing disorder and this was his first dental appointment and the team was amazing and listened to his needs and answered his never ending questions about the equipment. They were patient and kind, quick and processional. It was definitely worth the two hour drive!
Apr 7, 2025

Mar 25, 2025
I inquired about whitening strips and the office was totally out.
Mar 22, 2025
You caused my problem at a previous visit to your Beaverton office last year. Now I was barely helped and sent to a specialist who will do nothing more than charge me outrageous prices. You and your corporate dentistry are a disgrace to the dental field. You should spend more time helping patients and less time thinking about how to get people's hard earned money.
Mar 20, 2025
Don't look forward to seeing you soon for more work.
Mar 17, 2025
They were unsure how to proceed but have given me a follow-up quick follow-up. I have hope that all will be fixed soon!
Mar 16, 2025
I had a dental issue that was resolved quickly and professionally. My overall health was taken into consideration when treating me
Mar 16, 2025
After many years of being fearful of going to the dentist, Dr. Gorman has done an extremely good job, professional, kind, all of the above, to settle my nerves. It actually has become one of the most relaxing times of my day. So I thank her greatly.
Mar 9, 2025
I have already recommended Willamette Dental to quite a few people we will see how the next few appointments go perhaps I can promote you on my media platforms
Mar 9, 2025
They very friendly and professional,I really like the team
Mar 9, 2025
The appointment with Dr. Gorman went fine. The check-in went fine. Everything went fine there. I think the one part that I would have liked more assistance on is the conversation prior to coming to this dental extraction. I have a child who has anxiety, and nobody even mentioned that I might be able to give him or do something at the clinic that would help him with that. Nobody even bothered to ask me about it, and I hadn't even thought about it until the day of the appointment when Dr. Gorman did tell me. That's it. It was mostly just about the pre-appointment.
Mar 9, 2025
I've been with Willamette Dental for decades now, excellent service and the most professional attitude, will continue with Willamette for a long time.
Mar 8, 2025
Thank you
Mar 5, 2025

Dr Gorman and the entire staff were very helpful and attentive to my needs.
Mar 2, 2025
Everyone was friendly and helpful from the moment I checked it to the moment I checked out!
Feb 27, 2025
I would like to be able to talk directly to the clinic instead of going to a call bank. I was running late that day for my appointment, but every time I tried to call, it went straight to a call bank, which was closed, and I could not get through, and I was a little bit upset. So if I could get a straight, direct call to the clinic that I'm going to, that would be appreciated. Thank you.
Feb 24, 2025
Dr. Gorman and Rosie were the best!
Feb 24, 2025
I love Willamette Dental. I love my dentist. We all love them. They're very great people. And Ms. Gorman is our dentist for the whole family. Thank you so much for the great work. Thank you.
Feb 21, 2025
When I was checking out it was weird. I was almost accused of asking the the shortage time to my appointment. I did not. I am retired. Every day is a Saturday. When I called for my appointment, this was the date time and place that was given. Nothing was said about getting the same dentist as last time. I can see getting the same dentist. This option was not presented to me. I did not appreciate the banter between me and the check out person. So next time I will do your schedulers job and verify the dentist I am getting.
