Dr. Isaac’s Biography
Dr. Michael Isaac is an energetic and ethical dental professional who brings enthusiasm and compassion to every patient interaction. His personal experience with dental anxiety – overcoming his own nervousness during wisdom tooth removal – helped inspire his path into dentistry. Today, he uses that perspective to create calm, comfortable experiences for his patients, always treating them with the same empathy and respect he would offer his own family.
Dr. Isaac has a particular passion for clinical preparedness and is proud to have delivered trainings on the management of medical emergencies in the dental setting. He believes that exceptional care combines clinical skills with a commitment to safety, ethics, and human connection.
Drawn to Willamette Dental for its high standards and patient-first philosophy, Dr. Isaac is proud to be part of an organization that shares his values.
Outside the office, you’ll likely find him exploring nature with his family. A lifelong learner and avid traveler, Dr. Isaac enjoys discovering new places and cultures, something rooted in his own experience of living abroad during childhood.

He was very professional. I was very nervous about getting my tooth extracted but he answered all my questions and accommodated my request for nitrous oxide. The extraction was extremely quick and painless and I was given very thorough aftercare instructions.

I recently had a tooth extraction at this clinic and I was extremely impressed with the level of care I received. The procedure was done quickly, smoothly, and with great professionalism. The dentist and staff were kind, reassuring, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Highly recommended for anyone needing dental care

was told by dental assistant that prescription was sent to fred meyer pharmacy. After waiting in long line was told there was no prescription. had to call back and found out it was safeway. both my mom and I heard her say fred meyers. Maybe if this info was printed with the post surgerical instructions it would help eliminate this mistake.

Angela, the tech, Nicole medical provider and the doctor, Dr. Isaac, were both fantastic. They met every expectation and then some. They talk to my son who has autism like a person and made eye contact and spoke with him first rather than to me, which was exactly what I hoped for. Well well done.
