It was so nice and breezy, and it was an emergency of sorts, so I was so relieved to get an apt so quickly. Also, the staff were so professional and fixed it so perfectly.

The team took care of all my dental issues and I was very grateful
Oct 31, 2025
Dr. Martin is a wonderful, highly skilled dentist. He has saved more than one of my teeth. He is also very personable and friendly. It is clear that Dr. Martin truly cares about my health because he patiently and clearly explains my condition (e.g., pointing out things on the x-rays) and what I can do to maintain good oral health. At my last appointment, he noted some bone loss in a previous x-ray. Before I left, he had the assistant take a new x-ray. As soon as he got the images, he called to let me know that the bone loss had not progressed, which was a relief.

Oct 14, 2025
Dr. Martin is great! He always makes me feel like he's happy to see me and looks me in the eye when he greets me. I feel he is competent and compassionate at the same time. All of the hygienists and assistants are also great.

Both the Dentist and his Assistant WERE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! Friendly, funny, efficient and kind!!!!!
Aug 31, 2025
This is the best Willamette Dental, or any dentist, I've ever been to.
Aug 31, 2025
I have some pretty severe PTSD about going to the dentist. It's NOT something I like to do on a regular basis & have even cried because I had to go. Your staff has REALLY helped me with this & have been very patient & sensitive to my issues! Thank you for that!
Aug 18, 2025
Hygienist was too rough as she was the first time I had her clean my teeth.
Aug 18, 2025
The hygienist that worked with me was very thorough with the process and I'm very satisfied with the result.
Aug 18, 2025
They canceled our original appointment and called a couple days ahead of time. There were definitely communication issues with the person who called to reschedule and we had to take a very early appointment that was not great for our schedule that day. We had to take it or my kid wouldn't get seen at all before moving back to the dorms. I don't know if she was coached to be tough on people or that was her choice. If she was my first contact with Willamette Dental as a new customer, I wouldn't continue as a patient. That is the reason I wouldn't recommend your business. The dental care was just fine. No issues.
Aug 15, 2025
Highly recommended!
Jul 14, 2025
The staff was friendly and cheerful, prompt, thorough, and complimentary of my dental hygiene (which is always a plus at a dental appt!). Thank you, see you next year ?
Jul 13, 2025
I am not getting regular reminders of my appointments. And appointments are hard to get.
Jul 14, 2025
Absolutely love this team! Everyone is super friendly and professional, there is a great positive vibe in the office. The only thing that lets WD down in general are the wait times for appointments. I often tell people, it's a great dentist once you manage to see someone, but that could take months!
Jul 11, 2025
My crown replacement doesn't fit well. I explained to the girl, but it was already well past 5pm and she had weak excuses for her reason for the poor fit for the crown.
Jul 7, 2025

Jun 24, 2025
My front tooth had a hole in the back, after I left, the hole is less but still there,,,,wasn't sure why?
Jun 14, 2025
The staff was amazing and the Doc that took care of me was absolutely perfect. I wish he would be my Doc at every appointment!
Jun 13, 2025
I was pleased they could get me in on a emergency
Jun 13, 2025
Good service
Jun 14, 2025
Hygienist was not at all gentle and not particularly apologetic about it.
Jun 9, 2025
The staff were amazing however I was disappointed by the treatment I received my the dentist. He was aggressive with me over my decision to decline an xray while pregnant. He asked at least 3 times and then gave me "fun facts" about how safe X-rays during pregnancy are and belittling me. I felt like he did not respect me and my ability to make my own decisions about my care. I repeated I was willing to come back for X-rays in 2 months after the baby is born. I expect my dentist to respect my decision the first time.
Jun 8, 2025
Dr Martin aka TM and the whole staff have always been amazing!!! Enjoyed my 15 years at Willamette dental in Hazel dell!!! Look forward to Willamette dental in Idaho!!!

Apr 21, 2025
I was surprised to hear that appointments are annual and not every 6 months.

It was thorough and informative :)
Mar 24, 2025
Horrible at scheduling. It shouldn't take 2-3 months to get an appointment.
Mar 24, 2025
Thanks
Mar 23, 2025
Good they didn't shame me for not being afraid to go during covid and then just not getting around to it for a couple more years. Cleaned my teeth and didn't seem to do anything unnecessary.
Mar 23, 2025
Happy with care and info they provide
Mar 21, 2025
X-ray technician and hygenist were excellent and so kind, they listened to my concerns and offered solutions. The dentist spent little time with me and did not address my concerns.
Mar 20, 2025
Friendly, professional, and a pleasure!
Mar 20, 2025
Great experience, zero complaints. Suggested your facility to a patient I worked with today.

Great service
Feb 26, 2025
I've been seeing Dr. Martin the last several years and am so pleased always with his knowledge and patient care. We absolutely adore Dr. Martin and his assistant Kelly! They are both fantastic and we always look forward to seeing them.
Feb 24, 2025
Everyone I encountered during my visit was very well mannered and friendly. It created a nice environment and a pleasant experience!
Feb 21, 2025
I just wanted to look at my X-rays, never happened.
Feb 13, 2025
You're doing very well.
Feb 8, 2025
She did an excellent job with zero pain!
Feb 6, 2025
The hygienist was a little aggressive with her water spray and a couple of times I felt like I was being waterboarded. Water going down my neck was unpleasant. She was also asking some questions that I considered fairly intrusive about my mental health diagnosis. Dr Martin was as pleasant as always but the vibe at the office was off.
Feb 6, 2025
I have been going there about 8 years now, and I have never had a bad experience.
Feb 4, 2025
I love my Willamette Dental Team!!!
Feb 3, 2025
Staff was courteous and professional and treated me with respect and kindness
Feb 2, 2025
I called and explained that a wisdom tooth was sore and loose, which was causing me some pain. They got me in the next day, sat down explained everything to me in detail as to the cause of the pain. The wisdom tooth unfortunately couldn't be saved and needed to be extracted. They did the extraction and was on my way in less than 30 minutes. It was great not having to wait days and also the team there was professional and calm.
Feb 1, 2025
Overall, great experience!! Dr. Martin, Anna and Erica were great!
Jan 29, 2025
I appreciate Dr. Martin's gentle care and professionalism. From someone who suffers from dental anxiety due to past childhood dental visit trauma, Dr. Martin has listened to my concerns and has gone above and beyond to make sure my procedures have been pain free and provides a calming presence.
Jan 28, 2025
Very smooth and professional
Jan 27, 2025
Dr. Martin and his whole team are Top Notch and very personable. It was clear from check in to check out that they all really care about the patient!
Jan 27, 2025
Hygienist (I didn't get her name) was also very helpful and knowledgeable.
Jan 24, 2025
Overall experience has been outstanding.
Jan 23, 2025
It was a unfriendly visit not sure why, as well I wasn't given the bag at the end of the visit with a toothbrush floss witch seemed odd but as unfriendly as the office was it didn't surprise me
Jan 14, 2025
Wonderful and knowledgable providers!
Jan 11, 2025
The technician was very gentle and helpful and also put up with my many questions and lame jokes I made during my visit. 10/10 would get cleaned again by them. You rock! Oh! And check out my band on Spotify: Werehouse. It's, well, it's rock.
Jan 8, 2025
My hygienist was excellent fast and gentle!
Jan 5, 2025
I had questions for the one who took me back concerning my appointment and and what I wanted them to look at and she was proactive and took an exray. I had questions for the one who checked my gums and cleaned my teeth and she had good answers for everything. The dentist was very friendly and also had good answers for all my questions as he told me about my teeth especially the tooth I had a concern with.
