Dr. Herion’s Biography
Dr. Herion feels fortunate to have a fulfilling career in orthodontics. She credits the influences of two women role models for playing a part in making that happen. First was her own childhood dentist, a woman she admired even at a very young age. Following, she recalls having her youth soccer team sponsored by one of the first women to graduate from University of Washington’s School of Dentistry. In her practice today, Dr. Herion strives to continue to learn and incorporate new techniques and materials into her treatment.
In her free time, she might be found snow-skiing or water-skiing with her husband and children.

Dr Herion and her team are amazing! Everyone was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. Especially Carmen! She is so personable and goes above and beyond.

My daughter got her mold for palate expander done. I appreciate the teamwork demonstrated and how the assistant working with her asked his more senior colleague for help when he was unsure of something.

We were a walk-in for broken bands on a trip and 6 hours away from home. I googled a Willamette near us and they were so kind, professional, and happy to help us in our time of need. Everyone in the reception area to the office was amazing! Thank you

The wait time on the phone to get a hold of Wilamette Dental is exceptionally long. I have called multiple times and have been on hold for over 30 minutes! This has been going on for months. It seems like they need to hire more people to remedy the problem.

I am not happy about the care I received. While the dentist herself was professional and nice. The assistant who put on my braces does not know what they're doing. A few hours after having my braces and spending $1k out of pocket one of the brackets fell out my mouth. I called was told to break the wire. If I just spent 1k and the glue was not put on correctly what else in my mouth is going to break? And they told me to just wait a month for my next appointment to fix it. Very unhappy

Charging 280 for a retainer is outrageous ! When the one you gave us was a year 1/2 old. Shameful
