Dr. Douma’s Biography

Dr. Douma has enjoyed both sides of Willamette Dental, having been a patient and now a practitioner. And it was the great treatment he received in the dental chair that convinced him to join the practice. He takes his time to do quality work, both in and out of the office. He’ll never forget an experience at the age of 10, when changing to a new dentist transformed his whole outlook on dentistry. It was at that time when he decided to become a dentist with hopes to make the same impression on someone else’s life.

He and his wife both enjoy golfing, an activity that combines relaxation and physical activity with friendly competition.

It is difficult to get ahold of someone over the phone - wait times have been over 15 minutes when I have called on different dates and at different times. It seems like the ladies at the front desk have plenty of down time where they could be answering phones . I have sat in the waiting room many times waiting for my kids appointments and have heard lots of small talk and I always just think man, it would be nice if they were answering phones for people trying to get through on the phone rather than just sending everyone to one central line.
