Dr. Chen’s Biography
Dr. Chen discovered dentistry in his Junior year of high school, able to observe a dentist practicing across the street from his mother’s coffee shop. Appealing most were those interactions with patients and how comfortably he made everyone feel in his care. Dr. Chen brings the same easy-going personality into his office, where he’s able to foster partnerships with patients and promote a long-term approach to oral health at Willamette Dental. During his career he’s found that the simplest act can be the most meaningful, like offering a blanket or water to put patients at ease.
On days off, you’ll often find him running around the playground or park with his kids.

The client before me caused the dental team to run late for my appointment. I had to pick up my daughter so didn't have a lot of extra time to give. So it was rushed appointment. Otherwise everything was good.

My doctor was very professional, and answered all questions that I had, I didn't feel rush and I didn't feel like he was just trying to schedule me dental work just for dental work
Oct 9, 2025
I liked the kindness of the dental and administrative staff, as well as their smiles and genuine interest in all their patients!
Oct 6, 2025
It would be really helpful if we could schedule our yearly appointments at the end of each appointment. I find it very challenging to remember to call to make one so that I'm not having to push my appointment out several weeks each year.

Fabulous dentist&team. Knowledgeable, adjust to patient's specific needs.Always a great dental visit here! Thank-you Dr. Chen and team!
Oct 5, 2025
Dr. Chen was the best dental provider that I have seen. He was kind. He was calm. He listened to everything I said. He kept on asking me if I was okay throughout the appointment. I really think him and his dental assistant cared.
Oct 1, 2025
Dr. Chen was extremely eloquent with explaining my options in great detail. I really appreciated that. It is a rare trait. Unfortunately, my own dentist is on vacation (at another branch), and no one has called me yet. But I appreciated Dr. Chen, after an hour drive.

Lisa the Hygienist was awesome! Would like to have her again my next cleaning. Dr. Chen was informative and clear. In my personal opinion both Dr. Chen and Dr. Saldana are excellent health care professionals. Overall Kent Willamette has been my choice for dental care for the last 15 years.
May 29, 2025

May 21, 2025
I want to thank the customer service representatives that answered my call. They were empathetic to my situation and offered their services in a calm and professional manner. This was early in the morning, probably right after they clocked in and set down their items. I was panicking because I thought I had an gum infection and the customer service representatives did their best in calming me down and helping me see a doctor as early as possible, which was only 6 hours later. Thank you both.
May 19, 2025
If I say I have an infection let's deal with the infection first .. don't make me wait for an antibiotic until I come in .. I've been going here for 10yrs and have always had a pretty good experience.. after my last root canal seriously thinking about changing
May 19, 2025
I had a cracked tooth and Willamette was able to get me in the next day. And doctor was extremely patient and careful and explained to me all my different options. I could not be more happy with Willamette Dental and how professional they were and how quickly they took care of me. Unlike so many dentists and doctors these days where even in an emergency you have to wait for days. So I very much appreciate Willamette Dental all the time but in particularly when I had an emergency like this.

Dr Chen spent time to explain my procedure and answered my questions.
Feb 14, 2025
Dr. Chen listened to my concerns and was clear about my treatment options. He corrected the mistake of the previous dentist so I could floss where the filling had been placed.
