Dr. Jeppson’s Biography

Dr. Jeppson comes from private practice, where he was the only root canal specialist in the state contracting to provide endodontic care to low-income patients at no cost to them. The personal fulfillment in treating and meeting patients who wouldn’t otherwise have the means to afford this care surpassed any lost revenue. Today, Willamette Dental provides the freedom to focus solely on patient care and less on administration. Strong in biology and health sciences, dentistry is his perfect fit where he can grow proficient in the care of just one aspect of the body.

He enjoys weekends skiing on the slopes, hiking trails, or playing games around the house with his wife and children.

I was told I was going there to have an abscess tooth removed. When I got there I found out they were trying to save the tooth. The tooth from old procedure was so old it just started to crumble and I had to leave and reschedule with my regular office. They can't extract until Nov 5!! In the meantime the abscess is causing horrible symptoms in my body and my primary care provider is trying to help me manage these. I am so miserable.

I believe his assistant's name was Shannon; she was very knowledgeable about root canals. She and Dr. Jeppson addressed each of my concerns with care and confidence.

I was getting a root canal and I should have just spoken up but it was really really cold in that room so for about an hour I was very uncomfortable in that manner. And I was told up front that I should have asked for a blanket because they are provided back there. But other than that it was very excellent care.

I've been in constant pain for over two weeks and now after FINALLY seeing a specialist I have to wait ANOTHER FOUR WEEKS FOR TREATMENT. Completely unacceptable, I am asking my company to drop your insueance. All employees registered from my branch will be switching providers at the earliest open enrollment. Thanks for taking my money and providing ZERO HELP!!
