Dr. Morrison’s Biography

Dr. Morrison was hooked on dentistry as soon as he performed his first filling on a model tooth in college. He was excited to see that he could use his hands to improve someone’s health. Since then he has traveled as far as Peru to do just that, participating in gratifying humanitarian efforts throughout several cities plus a remote village high in the Andes where many had never seen a dentist in their lives. “Prevention is key”, he says, joining Willamette Dental to break from the constraints of fee-for-service practice.

He’s also drawn to challenge and relaxation and, weather permitting, visits the golf course to recharge.

We really appreciate Dr. Morrison and the whole team. My daughter has had horrible anxiety with other dentists but feels comfortable with going to Willamette. Dr. Morrison is so good at putting her at her ease. Thank you!

The dental assistant was so great with my daughter. She made her feel so brave throughout the whole thing. The dentist was just as patient and gave us the recommendation for their pediatric dentist in another office for better service for our daughter. We appreciated the team for making me daughter more comfortable at the dentist office.

Overall perfectly fine experience and no issues. Just can tell this is a corporate dental office and staff not as personable as I have been used to at previous private practice dental offices.

Dr Morrison is just so wonderful! He called me, prescribed medication and helped me get out of my discomfort. He was able to also squeeze me in for a procedure same day (rather then having to wait 2 more weeks) So appreciative!! And the support staff was great too, returning my calls and listening to my issues. Tooth pain is the worst and having that help is memorable, so thank you!

Everyone is very friendly. The person who cleans my husband's teeth is very professional and does an excellent job. It's just very difficult to make appointments because every time I go, the receptionist tells me I came too early to make the appointment, and then when I return, she tells me there are no more appointments in the morning. It's very frustrating.

I had a great experience, I just wish my dentist told me what was happening. He said I would need a root canal and then just went in and did it. I didn't know what was happening or what a root canal was, or how long the procedure would be or anything like that.

Dr Morrison was kind and gentle. He made sure I was comfortable and mouth numb before the procedure. I definitely recommend Dr Morrison to friends and family. He even asked what he could do to make my next procedure comfortable. We found a solution, and I'm ready!

Dr Morrison is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. He's kind and takes his time to explain things to me. I have huge dental anxiety from childhood trauma. I went years without seeing a dentist. Then we found Dr Morrison and I am a regular patient. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else ?

We've had Willamette Dental for years and I've almost always been completely happy with the staff. The one negative thing I have to say is that lately it's been difficult to get a routine appointment. Appointment dates are booked far out. When I call I'm offered one appointment and if that doesn't work for us then I'm told the calendar isn't open far enough to schedule. This results in a long game of phone tag as I work and can't always answer my phone. It shouldn't be this hard to schedule a routine appointment! I realize your offices are limited in Clark county, which may be part of the problem. The actual staff, including those poor people trying to schedule me an appointment, our great.

The dental hygienist was amazing. The dentist himself, Dr. Morrison, was very short and didn't stick around for questions. And I didn't feel like he cared that my daughter's teeth were hurting her and have been for the past two years. And anyways, thanks.

Sep 17, 2025

Our provider and the staff at the Mill Plain location are wonderful. Scheduling appointments, however, is quite challenging with limited availability. I had to call four times to get appointments that worked for our family because time slots were filled and scheduling farther out was not yet available.

I called at least 5 times to get an August appointment. They kept telling me to call back and then there were no appointments. I got on a cancellation list. They need more dentists in Vancouver WA.
