Dr. Nordstrom’s Biography
When Dr. Nordstrom went to the orthodontist for the first time at age six, she loved everything about it from the sights and sounds to the tools they used and the people in the office. She decided that was what she wanted to do with her life, a decision she still considers the best she’s ever made.
A generous and jubilant spirit, she brings that same enthusiasm to the office. She’s thrilled when patients come back to Willamette Dental years later just to say “hi” and see her again. Weekends typically take her to the library, reading with family or discussing books.

Amazing, takes time to explain the options and allows time for fears and tears. Patient kind and makes it all seem less scary.

Dr. Nordstrom has worked with all 3 of my children and there has never been a time when I felt like they were not the priority regardless of the number of patients in the office. Her professional demeanor and high knowledge of orthodontics leave me feeling like we are getting the most out of every visit.

Received braces on a Friday, Saturday night we had an issue, brace fell off. Went in at 7am and staff got us in at 7:10 and we were out by 7:25 with the issue fixed. Staff was very attentive and speedy as we live on the coast and they were extremely apologetic. Although it was an inconvenience, the staff did the right thing and made the situation a great experience. I really appreciate how they accommodated us. Awesome staff!!! ??

Dr Nordstrom is by far the best provider I've ever had at Willamette dental. The hazel dell office is great as a whole, much better than the experience I had at the Mill Plain office. I wish Dr Nordstrom could be my general dentist as well! She's fantastic, kind, and clearly VERY knowledgeable and capable as a provider.

The provider was kind and professional. She awnsered my questions and patiently taught me how to use my retainers. Thank you.

Our appointments are already far apart - but get cancelled or rescheduled, often last minute by the dental office due to lack of workers. This has happened twice in three months, causing us to have to make appointments at crazy times. It is not ideal, for sure!
Mar 21, 2025
Always a pleasant experience with the orthodontist and her team!
Mar 20, 2025
Best office ever!!!

The Orthodontist only works 2 days per week and does not ever flex or rotate for patients. She also does not have late or early appointments in regards to school hours. My kids miss A LOT of school to have straight teeth, it is really sad.
Feb 24, 2025
We are very happy with Dr. Nordstrom and her team.
Feb 21, 2025
The person that worked with my daughter was very patient and helped my daughter who was very scared of having a tooth pulled. The person gave my daughter a lot of grace and only did what my daughter was comfortable with. It was the most patient the staff had ever been with my daughter. Thank you.

Excellent experience

I just want to say that Dr. Nordstrom and her team is always so professional and always make us, they always make us feel warm and fuzzy when we're there. I really appreciate the time and the effort that Dr. Nordstrom and her team puts in to making us feel like we're a part of the Willamette family and that makes us feel good. We live in Gresham and we drive all the way to Hazeldale, so it's amazing to get there and be treated like royalty. So thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
