She clearly was watching the clock, near the end she was rushing. I think that was very rude. Next time I'll know.

While there was nothing dissatisfying with my visit, I have seen a different provider each check up every 6 months for two years at this location. I am switching dental service providers during this open enrollment period to another service provider so that I can have more consistency.

There's no way to improve because that dentist is a rock star and I will continue to go with her even though it's further away for me. I love Willamette Dental. I've been going for 30 years and she is definitely a rock star and the rest of the crew of the dental team were wonderful.

Dr. Shen was very nice however, she could have slowed down a bit in the conversations. I felt that she was anticipating my response to questions and could have listened a bit better. I did like her though and will see her again next year. Chris the hygienist was great! Funny, engaging and answered all of my questions. He also provided great info. Thank you both! ?

Sep 29, 2025

5

Dental work is a difficult experience for me. The staff were so helpful and kind, I really couldn't have asked for more. They offered a different appointment so I'd have more time, spoke to me about what I needed and offered options, and were so positive and supportive it was probably the best dental experience I've ever had.

This was my first time at this clinic and my first dental appt in 4 years. I am autistic and disabled and have a service dog. The whole team was very kind and respectful and reminded me that I could take breaks if needed. My care was explained to me in a way that I understood. Thank you very much!

Dr. Shen was so wonderful! The whole team was! I have such terrible dental anxiety that I had procrastinated and put off going in for years. Everyone that worked with me was so very kind and caring, no scolding for not coming in sooner. Dr. Shen explained my options thoroughly and with compassion.

We waited 1 hour for a consult. The dentist spent 5 minutes looking at my son's tooth to confirm we needed to make another appointment for a filling. The dental hygienist was super friendly and tried her best to entertain my child.

I visited Willamette Dental clinic in Bellevue first time. Dr Shen's Service was outstanding as always, But I was not happy with Front desk and Dental Assistant customer service and knowledge. Compare Kent office I would say: 2 out of the 10. And Honestly I visited Bellevue office only because Dr. Shen moved from Kent office.

Aug 16, 2025

As the parent of a minor, the Dr never talked to me.

I had just found out my brother died when I was checking in for my appt. I was a mess and the front desk person was very sweet. When I went back for my appt I was a bit out of it. I don't know if the dentist knew what had happened but she was so kind. I was there because I had cracked my night guard after 6 months due to work stress. The dentist talked to me about taking care of myself and gave me a hug. For such a small gesture it meant a lot to me. To all the people I encountered that day, thank you for your compassion.

I was completely satisfied with my Dental emergency treatment yesterday to get a broken filling fixed that was causing me pain and gum swelling when I chewed. The service provided at the Bellevue Dental Team for Willamette Dental was not only competent and professional, but also friendly and timely. THANK YOU! I can eat again! My husband and I both have chosen this dental office, even though we have other options, because they continue to be so wonderful!

May 25, 2025

It's the best experience that I've had. Dr Shen is the best dentist. My left face was swollen. Dr Shen took care of me without feeling what she did to me when she pulled my broken teeth. She is the best dentist I ever had.

May 25, 2025

The technician, Star, was great. I've had her before and she's very reassuring and calming.

Dr. Shen is truly a saint. Every step of my dental journey, she and her team provided support. Her team worked hard to get me in the same day to have my front tooth repaired after I broke it for the second time, so I wouldn't be walking around looking insane. Dr. Shen has extensive knowledge and expertise in her field. Many thanks, Dr. Shen and crew!

The Dentist and Hygienist were exceptional. Upside of those two providers, I encountered 3 other employees and all of them were professional, polite and working hard.

Dental assistant, dental, hygienist, and doctor were all very kind knowledgeable and helpful. Reception desk, while friendly, could use them or organization. They need more stuff. It's ridiculous to not be able to book an appointment until two months out.

Apr 2, 2025

The dentist was a little difficult to understand. She had great advice regarding my teeth sensitivity, but would have liked her recommendations written down or printed out. Not entirely sure that I entirely understood her complex directions on what to do about it at home. It may have been the mask.

Always a great experience
