Dr. Park’s Biography
Friendly, empathetic, and dedicated, Dr. Clara Park brings a compassionate and attentive approach to dentistry. Known for treating every patient with the same level of care she would give a family member, Dr. Park holds herself to the highest ethical standards in her practice. She believes in truly listening to each patient’s concerns and making sure they feel heard, comfortable, and cared for throughout their dental journey.
Dr. Park was drawn to dentistry in college, where she discovered it was the perfect intersection of her love for science and art, her manual dexterity, and her desire to build meaningful connections with others. One of her proudest moments as a dentist is the trust she earns from her patients, which is something she never takes for granted.
Outside of the clinic, you’ll often find Dr. Park traveling to visit friends and family, exploring new hobbies, birdwatching, or making music. She joined Willamette Dental because of its strong focus on patient-first care and collaborative, supportive environment—values that align closely with her own.

Clara Park is one of the most conscientious Dentists that I have ever seen for service. I cannot speak more highly about her expertise and patience. Great........ The attending assistants with my procedure, cannot go unacknowledged as well...A+++ Thank you

The experience overall went very well. We were very satisfied. However, when leaving we were given the wrong person's invoice breakdown. My husband grabbed it on the way out but we only noticed it was for the wrong person once we got home. We have the wrong person's dental/medical breakdown of services. My hope is that some stranger didn't get my kid's information by accident. I'll bring the wrong invoice when I return for my next appointment and ask for the correct one.
