Very attentive, kind & professional :)
Nov 23, 2025
Super quick visit, they did a great job and I liked that they seemed to remember me from last visit!
Nov 23, 2025
Very friendly and great care!
Nov 20, 2025
Amazing
Nov 19, 2025
It's awesome. I like it. Yeah. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot anyway. You are helping my health.
Nov 17, 2025
They took great care of both of my kiddos. They offered good tips, and I was happy with their recommendation for treatment of a pre-cavity. Thank you
Nov 15, 2025
The doctor is great. Scheduling is awful. They cancelled multiple times and you have to reschedule very far out.
Nov 14, 2025
Dr. Rosales was wonderful with my son. The hygienist could have been more patient and compassionate towards my son and not layer on negative remarks "you must have short term memory" and "sometimes you have to do things you don't like." Verses playfully smiling and saying, "I remember you!" and being empathetic, "yeah, not everyone likes going to the dentist. I'll try to make this as painless as possible." Not trying to reason with my child without any regard, "You have to let me do my job."
Nov 14, 2025
My new dentist is very nice I appreciate her and the oral hygienist was very sweet and the assistant
Nov 13, 2025
The team were very professional and very kind. They explain to me everything that was going on in detail and what steps I needed to take next. I look forward to seeing them next time.
Nov 12, 2025
All the staff were amazing and very kind. They were also very caring and I felt like they were more concerned about my comfort with the procedure than even I was. I get very nervous going to the dentist and the staff made me rethink that entirely. Thanks.
Nov 16, 2025
The only issue I have is, it takes at least 3 months at a time when I make a appointment.
Nov 9, 2025
The staff at the Lents office were very nice and professional.
Nov 8, 2025
Great staff & Professional
Nov 8, 2025
Excellent care
Nov 7, 2025
Yeah, it's just, it sucks.
Nov 6, 2025
While my expectations were low based on past dental care I've received from California to Oregon, they fully exceeded way beyond my low expectations and I would recommend them to anybody, even people who are able to afford the best kind of care. Thank you.
Oct 28, 2025
The machine was broken it was dripping water it got my turtle neck shirt wet I had to go home n change
Oct 18, 2025
I thought it was a phenomenal experience and I'm looking forward to coming back.
Oct 13, 2025
Just getting difficult to get appointment that mostly they can keep the schedule booking and canceling multiple times and then they only have one available option for me at all in for seeable future and it's way early. It's going to take an act of God. Annoying
Oct 6, 2025
Such nice people.
Oct 7, 2025
I wish I would get the same amount of attention and understanding as my grandson when I go to the dentist. It would make going to the dentist much easier.
Sep 26, 2025
Dr and assistant was very knowledgeable and caring . Got there early but they got us in right away and took great care and very patient with my son
Sep 25, 2025
I just would like to say that I started out at the Stark location and they have a wonderful staff there and I realize that I could not keep making the trip so I switched to one that was closer to myself and I cannot express how well they have treated me and how kind they were at this office. I'm very pleased With not just my dentist but the Medicare team that helps along with it. They are fantastic.
Sep 19, 2025
I appreciated that she checked to make sure I was okay throughout the procedure.
Sep 19, 2025
It was amazing
Sep 13, 2025
This experience was great. The dental providers are professional and kind. The receptionists on the other hand, are lacking. They would benefit from additional training when dealing with emergency patients, more training when it comes to diffusing difficult situations, and better compassion when dealing with patients in severe pain. They refused to look me in the eye. They let me sit in the waiting room for hours while in pain without telling me when i'd be seen. They we extremely rude when I expressed my problems and did not seem eager to help solve the issue. I had to prompt them multiple times to suggest solutions. They whispered to each other while I was in front of them and seemed extremely hesitant to assist me while upset and in pain.
Sep 13, 2025
All the staff was friendly and professional. Unfortunately I have been very disappointed with the inability to get a appointment. Took almost a year to finally get one tooth fixed. I had to call multiple times and was told your office would call me but never did.
Sep 13, 2025
Well, the care was very good, but for me, the appointments are too long to wait. I went for a checkup, and they gave me an appointment for three months. That seems like too long to me when you need something more immediate.
Sep 12, 2025
It was excellent.
Sep 4, 2025
I had a really good experience being in the office. I don't really have anything to point about when it comes to the work and the staff. It's been a good experience, it really has. But the only thing I would say that would be a downfall is how long do you have to wait to get into an appointment? It seems ridiculous, going six months to clean, or four or five months for one cavity, or to get it cleaned, or can't do more than one case, but I guess that's because you have lots of people, but that would be my only complaint. Thank you.
Sep 4, 2025
We are slowly trying to transition away from Willamette Dental. We've been with y'all since y'all were at the Eastport Plaza, and that has meant zero good doctor's leave because the practice has gone to a Walmart style of dental care where you're more likely to pull a tooth out than fix a tooth, and the staff can be incredibly obnoxious, dismissive, arrogant, and generally not customer service focused at all, not client focused at all. That's just been our experience, a family of four. Others may have different ones. At times, it's been good, but then those doctors leave. So, we absolutely would never recommend you guys, and I think your practice is not very good at all. So, I'm an honest person, and as soon as we have a few more pieces to the puzzle, we'll be switching out of Willamette Dental and into a better provider.
Aug 31, 2025
I had a scheduled tooth extraction, but it couldn't be done yesterday because I had not obtained a signature from my doctor. (I'm on a blood thinner. ) Also I had taken a blood thinner recently. The dentist and assistant were totally friendly, did not blame me for my oversight, and explained the situation clearly. I will happily reschedule.
Aug 31, 2025
The whole team is wonderful and cares and sincerely listens to what the family and patient wants and needs instead of going in with a preset auto pilot script of how things will go.
Aug 28, 2025
Everyone was very kind
Aug 26, 2025
Thanks for being friendly and welcoming.
Aug 22, 2025
I'm always impressed by the doctor and dental professionals. I appreciate so much the racial diversity in this practice and how inspiring that is for my son who is BIPOC. His questions are always answered and this time he was invited by the dentist to shadow at the clinic when he's older. Thank you!!
Aug 21, 2025
It was professional. It was warm. She listened, with compassion and patience.???
Aug 18, 2025
Absolutely amazing staff, such a clean place, my son felt so comfortable and happy visiting this office. Thank you!
Aug 17, 2025
Very friendly and attentive during my visit.
Aug 16, 2025
I like it, they do a good job.
Aug 15, 2025
Excellent staff
Aug 15, 2025
I got the best dentist dr. She was super nice slow with her teams.
Aug 12, 2025
Great Dr
Aug 7, 2025
It is always great energy and efficient. Fortunately, my son's results were great. NO cavities, which is always the best!!
Aug 3, 2025
All the team members were so kind and conscientious. As a person who has had traumatic experiences with dentists, it's always a high anxiety experience. It was so helpful to have everyone be so open, kind and understanding.
Aug 3, 2025
Aside from limited appointment slots , especially for nitrous , so scheduling is so far in the future, the team is fantastic and the most caring, thorough, positive , patient and actually makes sure she's fully numb before doing painful procedures instead of insisting she just deal with the pain like other locations and providers have done in the past. Thank you for the great experience
Aug 1, 2025
Everyone was very helpful, and nice and explained everything.
Jul 25, 2025
The staff was amazing. The dental hygienist told me things I never knew before.
Jul 25, 2025

Jul 21, 2025

It was good.
Jul 11, 2025

Jul 9, 2025
Appointments are given after a long time.
Jul 6, 2025
Had a very good first time treatment/assessment from all three who attended my case. Just forgot thier beautiful names , my only questionable challenge is the time it takes to wait for the next scheduled appointment. Too long !
Jul 12, 2025
Well, I like the receptionists services.
Jun 27, 2025
I've been a member for quite sum time, and I've noticed that the dental technician r becoming greater at there jobs for the causes that come to them, an the motivation of effective efforts they put forth too solve them, with hesitation is beyond the sky's...please continue to grow the world of dentistry with the care as u've already shown....and I'm looking forward to wat more ur entirety has to offer us, the ones that truly care too!! Again thank u....
Jun 26, 2025
Best team ever. The dentist makes me so anxious and they're always so accommodating and very sweet.
Jun 26, 2025
Very professional and relatable friendly team
Jun 23, 2025
My providers were very kind
Jul 3, 2025
The team was very professional and friendly. My grandson has a good experience with this provider.
Jun 22, 2025
Make the experience pleasant and comfortable
Jun 19, 2025
Both the dentist and her technician were extremely polite and very professional. I left there with a new found confidence I haven't felt in a very long time. So thank you very much!
Jun 15, 2025
They take good care of my kids
Jun 14, 2025
Really complicated to get scheduled
Jun 12, 2025
Having to call back the next day to schedule an appointment instead of right there in the office after an appointment is ridiculous and wastes the patients time. Also, having to wait 2 and half month to fix a broken tooth that is causing pain is not ok. This problem had stopped for a while but is now an issue again. Do better.
Jun 9, 2025
The staff was very friendly, professional and thorough. I would happy highly recommend. Glad to have found such a great new dentist!
Jun 5, 2025
They are my dental team and I would like to keep it that way, I would like to make appointments at the desk though and not have to call in.
May 31, 2025
I had a great experience. I've had bad experiences in the past with unprofessional dentists and that has not been the case at Willamette Dental.
Jun 3, 2025
To educate children's and adults on prevention care.
May 30, 2025
Keep up the great work
May 25, 2025
I enjoyed every person I had an interaction with. Everyone felt very genuine with their conversations. Much appreciated! I felt very safe
May 24, 2025
Very positive experience at this location. I experienced less positive experiences at the SW Jefferson branch, so this was a pleasant surprise.
May 24, 2025
Staff are nice, and helpful
May 19, 2025
The appointments are way to spread out. Dr Jen and team are VERY good
May 15, 2025
Jennifer Rosales is a very good dentist along with her assistants. Dr. Rosales made me feel less stressful about seeing the dentist and very comfortable.
May 10, 2025
The care was excellent thank you
May 9, 2025
Amazing staff!
May 18, 2025
Everyone I interacted with made me smile!
May 15, 2025
Dr. Jen is professional, caring. I can see her passion from her job. I am glad to have her as my dentist. Her team is amazing, always check on each other. I always feel comfortable coming here. Love Willamette Dental!
May 3, 2025
Everything went well, and there was friendly, good vibe.
May 1, 2025
Everyone was very professional and pleasant to deal with.
Apr 27, 2025
Everyone was super nice and it was super quick and not painful
Apr 27, 2025
Not allowing patients to schedule more than one appointment at a time has caused profession in my child dental decay. I have to now wait 3 months to get a filling I was not informed we needed.
Apr 25, 2025
There was no easy way to get a hold of the Lents office to confirm my antibiotics prescription taking an additional day to request it and make sure it was ordered.
Apr 27, 2025
Friendly and attentive practitioners!
Apr 24, 2025
Dr. Rosales and her team were friendly, professional and I felt I was in good hands the entire time.
Apr 21, 2025
The only problem was it took 8 months to get an appt.
Apr 21, 2025
Cared about how'd the dentures would look and took time to make sure they looked right and answered all my questions plus
Apr 18, 2025
Very friendly staff. Easy check in.
Apr 17, 2025
Most ppl do NOT listen.
Apr 17, 2025
Everyone has been kind and wonderful to work with
Apr 14, 2025
Very professional friendly thank you
Apr 10, 2025
My daughter hit er is extremely nervous at the dentist and both the hygienist and the dentist were absolutely fabulous!
Apr 10, 2025
I had a great experience with my new Dental DR as well as her staff. Everyone was very friendly and polite. Also I'm very thankful that the Dr fit me in between her schedule to continue to work on me, so that I didn't have to come back on another date. Truly satisfied
Apr 4, 2025
All in all I love the environment and the people they are friendly and informative and everything is done efficiently and professionally
Apr 4, 2025
So appreciate listening to me about my issues with my permanent retainer and helping me come up with a solution! I've made lots of changes based on previous visits and now they always say my teeth look good.
Apr 7, 2025
I was told I needed a prescription for a mouth rinse which was never called into the pharmacy. They had me by their toothpaste there but the mouth prints. I said I would get from the pharmacy and the prescription was never called in and I also was supposed to call the next day to make an appointment for six weeks out to finish what they had we're doing and was not able to get an appointment. They told me I had to go on standby because my information still wasn't into the computer to be able to make me an appointment. I had been in there the day before shouldn't I've been in their computer to make an appointment again, strange to me.
Apr 6, 2025
Excellent service from all the staff!
Mar 29, 2025
Great!
Mar 26, 2025
The team was so comforting and kind, and the environment was great.
Mar 26, 2025
Yes, I just would like to give kudos to the dentist and her assistant. My daughter was very nervous. It was her very first appointment and they did try multiple ways in order to get her teeth cleaned. Even though she still ended up refusing in the end, but they were very open and understanding and very patient with her. So I really appreciate that for her first time dentist visit.
Mar 24, 2025
Great communication , also very comforting to the children .
Mar 21, 2025
Excellent
Mar 13, 2025
I thought your service and everything's good. Thanks.
Mar 8, 2025
A very good appointment.I liked the light heartedness but yet very professional in what they did.I had a root canal and it went beautifully
Mar 8, 2025
I have had so many terrible mishaps with dental professionals and my lifetime and I have to say Dr Jen hands down was the most gentle kind informative thoughtful considerate gracious dentist that I have ever seen and I had told their assistant beforehand that every time I've come to that office each dentist that I've seen has been more thoughtful than the one before them and she takes the cake I just I'm crying right now sending this message because I have never had such a wonderful experience before she's just an amazing amazing doctor.
Mar 5, 2025
The assistant was very pleasant to speak with and remembered what we spoke about last time I was in. Always good to meet a bookworm. Doctor was very communicative and clear in her operations. I felt well cared for. 10/10
Mar 2, 2025
I, truly enjoy my excellent dental care, that I've received...
Mar 2, 2025
I was very happy to come see you guys. Any normal apprehensiveness I may have felt coming in was quickly dispelled by the kindness and respect shown to me by all. THANK YOU.
Feb 27, 2025
Every one was so nice and caring I've had alot of self conscious situations where I felt not to good about the whole experience,, I felt so relieved and that they cared genuinely about me and my wellbeing thanks so much for everything,,,can't wait to get my problems taken care of ....
Feb 24, 2025
Kayla and Jennifer were amazing they made my dental experience great!
Feb 24, 2025
I live my dentist she informative and caring
Feb 24, 2025
I am very grateful and happy for the special treatment of all the staff who have attended to me.
Feb 24, 2025
everyone was wonderful from front office staff to back office staff . thanks so much .
Feb 21, 2025
Dr Jen took very good care of me.
Feb 24, 2025
Staff was amazing. Especially the two that helped me with my temp filling.
Feb 16, 2025
My experience was excellent, and I was also given more information about other options that are available.
Feb 15, 2025
When I first went in, they said I didn't have an appointment which frustrated me so I went out to my car. I pulled up the email and realized that they put my appointment underneath my son's name, but then they fixed it.
Feb 8, 2025
Very professional
Feb 9, 2025
You guys are magnificent people. Thank you. Bye. Bye
Feb 7, 2025
Thank you.
Feb 6, 2025
My dentist had her hygienist put the filling in
Feb 2, 2025
Your staff are friendly. However, we had to wait a long time to get the treatment. And it sounds like you don't have enough doctors there. So hopefully this can be improved in the near future. Thank you.
Jan 31, 2025
you're actually the best and sweetest people that know how to make appts super comfortable
Jan 31, 2025
I just felt like they took so much care and time on my teeth. I really appreciate everything you did and they worked so well together.Thank you soo much
Feb 8, 2025
Waited too long to be seen by the dentist.
Feb 2, 2025
I wish I don't have to wait so long just to get a dental appliance fix. and having to do several visits to do that...
Jan 28, 2025
Unless you have and immediate issue that needs urgent care, you cant really get an appointment no sooner than 2 or 3 months out. Ive been waiting for them to finish pulling the rest of my teeth and finish making my dentures for almost a year now. Ive have wax fittings and picked the shade and did all the choosing needed and been just waiting on extractions and delivery of the dentures now. Its frustrating.
Jan 27, 2025
Great place and good care
Jan 27, 2025
to tell the truth on your documentation.
Jan 21, 2025
Everything is super great except appointments. Too far out
Jan 18, 2025
Having to call a call center for an appt rather than the front desk of the office is hassle. Having appts booked three months or more apart is not encouraging especially when the work is already started there. It was frustrating and still is trying to get my procedure fully done and at this rate it will be close to a year with only four appts needed.
Jan 17, 2025
Been going to Willamette Dental for over 20yrs and now both of my girls will go to them as well
Jan 15, 2025
It's nice that I've had the same dentist for more than 1 year. I really like my current provider. I also like the SE 89th Willamette Dental office / staff.
Jan 13, 2025
They were great.
Jan 11, 2025
Very friendly
Jan 10, 2025
I liked the way they treat patients and they are very kind.
Jan 9, 2025
It's the best experience I've ever had from the minute I walked through the door. Every person I dealt with was professional and friendly and parking is a breeze because they have a parking lot.
Dec 27, 2024
Excellent service and expertise!
Dec 19, 2024
Only improvement that I'd like to see is availability of appointments. I had to wait about 6 weeks to get in and have a chipped front tooth repaired.
Dec 15, 2024
The team were great and work together well. Keep up the great work. Thank you
Dec 13, 2024
Don't change a thing.
Dec 13, 2024
She was great
Dec 13, 2024
Dahlia and Kevin went above and beyond to make me feel less anxious when my childcare fell through and my toddler had to come with me to my appointment! My hygienist and dentist were attentive, reassuring and thoughtful. I highly recommend Willamette dental and am glad that they accept my insurance so I can continue to go there!
Dec 13, 2024
The dentist and assistants were all very professional, the lady skin my X-rays was aware that when I had to bite down on the X-ray thing, it caused me more pain and she made sure that she was quick as possible so that I didn't have to be in pain longer than necessary. They were all very thorough and explained everything so I understood. Great team!
