Dr. Chen’s Biography
Dr. Chen discovered dentistry in his Junior year of high school, able to observe a dentist practicing across the street from his mother’s coffee shop. Appealing most were those interactions with patients and how comfortably he made everyone feel in his care. Dr. Chen brings the same easy-going personality into his office, where he’s able to foster partnerships with patients and promote a long-term approach to oral health at Willamette Dental. During his career he’s found that the simplest act can be the most meaningful, like offering a blanket or water to put patients at ease.
On days off, you’ll often find him running around the playground or park with his kids.

I miss going to Willamette Dental at the Seattle location. They always assigned the same hygienist, which was amazing for continuity, relationship-building, and trust. It's someone new every time at this location. My previous dentist at the Seattle location was personable, warm, friendly, and funny. My current dentist is hardly in the room with me for more than 2-3 minutes and says very little.

Overall my appointment was fine. The tech was so gentle and I really appreciated that! There was someone training and when my x rays were done she had to do it a few times and the mouth piece was uncomfortable.
Apr 12, 2026
My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. I feel strongly that all employees were kind, patient, very knowledgable, an educational. I have had anxiety every time I go to the dentist, I felt none of that while visiting Willamette Dental. Thank you for your succinct explanations, and kindness

I came to get my teeth cleaned, but it was rushed through and only did half because the The dental hygienist had to stop and go to someone else. And she did not finish me. I felt like that was very unfair that I didn't get everything that I came for. But the dentist was great very helpful.

The staff were very friendly and caring with me and my anxiety with having dental work done and especially with the lady that did my injections. I'm usually difficult to get numb but she seemingly did it with ease and was explaining the process as she was doing it and also helped bring a very calming influence to help with my anxiety. The whole experience from the time I arrived to the time I was leaving went about as best as I could have hoped for.
