I've always been happy with my care here. I trust my provider emphatically.
Nov 18, 2025
Unfortunately the dentist was not able to provide a solution for my tooth pain.
Nov 20, 2025
I'm glad I was able to get an appointment so quick during their busy schedule. Thanks!
Nov 10, 2025
Had a tooth removed; afterward, pain level of 1 (out of 10). Later that night, it dropped to 0.5. Excellent work!
Nov 10, 2025
Very professional. She listened to my concerns and gave me options on how to proceed with my treatments. I was very happy with her advice!!
Nov 7, 2025
The staff is always cordial, timely, and professional

Oct 29, 2025
Professionalism all around!

I have to go see an oral surgeon in Tigard, Or. too far
Sep 29, 2025
Well I don't recall getting teeth polished. No plaque removal scraping.
Sep 27, 2025
Thank you
Sep 24, 2025

Sep 13, 2025
My child did so well getting her fillings done. She was anxious, but birth dental assistant and doctor were great with my 6 year old with her first fillings. They directed her well to make sure she was less anxious and knew what to expect with shots, numbing, and drilling. She wasn't afraid to go back for the next one.
Sep 14, 2025
The staff were wonderful and did a great job listening to me and answering my questions. I would appreciate being able to get appointments sooner.
Sep 12, 2025
Ana, Cori, Olivia, Dr.Nordstrom and Dr. Pelton all did such a great job.
Sep 12, 2025
I was very pleased with the care I was given. I was there for urgent care I was treated very well. Thank you all.
Sep 7, 2025
She listened very patiently to our concerns and offered new treatments to help improve oral health. Specifically, she offered fluoride treatment at home to help reduce cavities. We didn't know that was an option before and we look forward to working with her more. We hope to preserve as many teeth as possible. The patient (my wife) has a lot of dental issues but is committed to doing what she can for her health, including any at-home treatments.
Sep 5, 2025
The doctor and assistant were so accommodating, kind and thorough. I had lost my crown and called Willamette Dental. They got me in the next day and fixed my tooth. I am so pleased with the whole experience. Thank you for being awesome ?
Sep 1, 2025
Witness teamwork and diligence with my hygienist. Very impressed.
Aug 31, 2025
Extremely hard workings staff but most importantly they have very good customers service and very helpful
Aug 31, 2025
The team was great!
Aug 29, 2025
I had a great experience, I was just surprised how long it would take to get back in to treat my cavity.
Aug 24, 2025
Very nice and friendly. Thanked me for being so patience while waiting.
Aug 24, 2025
Hi, I was very upset with the dentist because my husband went in, he had 11 teeth pulled by the last dentist and hemorrhaged. And then this time when we went in, because he has one cavity that is kind of hurting him, she wanted to pull the rest of his bottom teeth and give him dentures. I think that is horrible. I am a nurse and I would not let that happen. He already hemorrhaged when he had his other teeth pulled and she took offense that I didn't want my husband's teeth pulled and there's only you know, a tooth that is causing him a little bit of cold sensitivity, there's no reason to have all of his bottom teeth pulled out. This is really odd to me. I worked at the VA, and when they did heart surgery, they pulled everybody's teeth, and I think that's horrible, because they get dentures, they don't fit, they don't go in, they don't stay in, they can't chew food, they lose them, they never get new ones. It's lots of problems. And I was very put off by this
Aug 20, 2025
Dr. Pelton and Cara make such a great team! I felt completely at ease during my extraction appointment. Dr. Pelton took the time to carefully explain my treatment and made sure everything was done with patience and kindness.shes an amazing Doctor! Cara, the amazing DA, ensured I was comfortable the entire time. It's her attention to details that's remarkable. Their bedside manner is truly the best. The whole Hazel Dell team works so well together! I absolutely love this office!
Aug 16, 2025
Yes, I'm missing my front tooth and I was wondering why they didn't issue me a flipper and my appointment isn't until October the 6th. I have to wait all that time before I get anything.
Aug 15, 2025
Thanks
Aug 14, 2025
Cori and Dr Pelton were so kind to me! I'm always embarrassed coming in but they showed no judgment! I know this is the right place for me!
Aug 10, 2025
I'm not really sure why I had to go in. They looked at my teeth for about a minute. Slopped some fluoride on my teeth in about thirty seconds then escorted me to the receptionist. The last time I was in they said we'll see you next year, i was surprised that they told me I had to come in?
Aug 5, 2025
Dr. Pelton and Cori provided a great experience for my dental procedure. The appointment was smooth, efficient, and very easy. The doctor and her staff did an excellent job for the filling I got on my front tooth.

I am so thankful Willamette Dental got me in quickly after a tooth broke on vacation out of the country. My dental team is always friendly and professional. Thank you!
Jun 7, 2025
Advised needed follow up care, but in NO way, tried to "up sell" unnecessary treatments or procedures. Very satisfied so far!
Jun 2, 2025
I had a great experience with Willamette dental from the very first time I called in to the very end when they checked me out, everybody was gracious and helpful and it was a great experience
Jun 2, 2025
I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the practice. The only reason I wasn't provided a timely appointment was because coordination is needed with another provider.
May 25, 2025
Fast and efficient visit. Listened to my concerns and addressed them.
May 25, 2025
I was able to get a much needed dental exam to clear me for my hip surgery. I was offered same day appointment, but took the next day for my schedule. Thank you Willamette Dental. Your services and skilled team never disappoint. ?
May 19, 2025
It's my favorite
May 22, 2025
Anna and Dr. Pelton were great as someone with high anxiety with dental appointments they put me at ease and were super caring. I also appreciate that Dr. Pelton is able and willing to do a procedure in office I was referred to an oral surgeon for in the past. I would highly recommend this team.
May 16, 2025
I am Deaf and staff there were helpful without an interpreter provided. Couple staff there knew sign language which made me more comfortable.
May 10, 2025
Staff and doctor were very professional experience was so satisfying.
Apr 27, 2025
This dentist gave me clear and direct information regarding my dental situation. She was amazing and the staff was a pleasure!
Apr 27, 2025
They were 30 minutes behind schedule because some people were late so instead of taking me they took the person that was late. Doing that made it so I was only able to get limited care during my visit because I had to go to work. Now my next appt is like 2-3 weeks out. Getting appts. Are very difficult.
Apr 25, 2025
Nice patient staff that listens and really friendly
Apr 24, 2025
Everyone is always kind and efficient.
Apr 14, 2025
Dr Pelton was the best provider I've had in the years of going to Willamette. She's caring and knowledgeable and I would only like to use her going forward
Apr 11, 2025
Everyone from front desk to the provider were kind, comforting and non judgmental. I've never been treated so well at a dentist office.
Apr 11, 2025
The hygienist was the best I have ever worked with. She was professional and caring and educated. I was really thrilled bu the service
Mar 30, 2025
I would like to have had more discussion of what was going on as it was happening.
Mar 29, 2025
There were no problems, the staff was very nice.
Mar 26, 2025
Please provide some armless seating in your waiting room. Every single seat had arms and was too small for the 3 plus sized patients in there. This is not accessible.
Mar 22, 2025
Excellent job
Mar 21, 2025
Thank you!
Mar 20, 2025
Overall, my appointment was probably one of the best dentist appointments I have ever had. Going in, I was anxious not having an appointment in the last two years. The dental hygienist was very wonderful, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed her teaching me different things about mouth, the health of your mouth, and such things. It was very informative and I really appreciated it. The assistant tech was also very nice. And the new dentist that I saw was better than the last. I really enjoyed her. Glad that I have her now. Thank you.
Mar 15, 2025
Can I give 100 stars to the team that helped my daughter yesterday? I would sure like to, as they did AMAZING / SPECTACULAR / FABULOUS!!!! My kid has been horrified of the prospect of getting her filling because she's afraid of needles. The hygienists were so patient with her, kind, and funny. It made all the difference in the world. She has to go back for a second filling, but experience yesterday was so positive that she knows it "won't be that bad, after all." Thank you!!!!!
Mar 14, 2025
Staff is friendly and helpful and don't do unnecessary dental work
Mar 9, 2025
I had to change providers last year but was able to switch back this year. It was like coming back to family.
Mar 8, 2025
As a relatively new customer to Willamette, I have been very pleased with the dentists and supporting staff that I have been exposed to.
Mar 9, 2025
The dentist and the assistant dental hygienist were extremely professional and exceeded above and beyond my expectations for my visit. However, you could use improvement in your phone answering because there's nobody at the front desk and my hold, I was on hold for several, several minutes and then finally was told that you're not receiving calls. So I think that's probably an area you need to work on. But as far as the dentist and the hygienist, excellent. Thank you.
Mar 3, 2025
Very smooth appointment
Feb 24, 2025
Excellent care, as always. Very friendly front office staff.

Feb 2, 2025
I had some really bad experiences prior to visiting this office and staff. I was ready to leave and look for dental care somewhere else. And then, I went to this office. I was not the best patient, but everyone at the office treated me with such kindness, care, and respect so I changed my mind. Thank you very much, and take care. I look forward to my next visit
Jan 29, 2025
The staff is always so friendly and helpful.
Jan 27, 2025
Having to wait two months when I'm in pain right now to have a tooth pulled is asinine.
Jan 27, 2025
Providers were kind and professional. It would be helpful if appointments could be made sooner---
Jan 27, 2025
Wish I didn't have to drive so far.
Jan 25, 2025
I was surprised by how many people worked with me for my initial visit! From exrays to final setting of future appointments. Facility was nice. I've been to the facility on Mill Plain and that felt like a military meat market.
