Dr. Herion’s Biography

Dr. Herion feels fortunate to have a fulfilling career in orthodontics. She credits the influences of two women role models for playing a part in making that happen. First was her own childhood dentist, a woman she admired even at a very young age. Following, she recalls having her youth soccer team sponsored by one of the first women to graduate from University of Washington’s School of Dentistry. In her practice today, Dr. Herion strives to continue to learn and incorporate new techniques and materials into her treatment.

In her free time, she might be found snow-skiing or water-skiing with her husband and children.

I always appreciate Dr. Herion's honesty. She doesn't just slap braces on because she can. She always looks at the whole situation and does what's best for the patient. My son and I really like Dr. Herion and the whole team always makes you feel at home.

Most of them serve you well... but... there are other offices where they don't serve you well, like the one in Burside.

Dr. H is amazing. She really listens to her patients and goes out of her way to be kind. Also, I saw one of the clinicians taking a micro aggression training, and I just really love that they're doing that in the office. Most definitely will recommend to friends and family.

Initially I wasn't sure how I felt coming through to the Lents office but after going through their process I'm honestly impressed. Good care, quality staff and an easy to use scheduling system. No complaints on my end. I'd definitely recommend Tracy and the Willamette staff for anyone with Orthopedic needs.

Love coming here! Everyone is friendly and professional. They were able to accommodate an earlier appointment and it was great - as usual. Almost sad I won't have interaction with the ortho team pretty soon but everyone that has taken care of me has been awesome. Thank you all!
