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.

Took a while to be seen but my appointment was classified as an "emergency" appointment so they fit me in . Normally it's usually fast and efficient and it still was once he came to see me . Thank you.

I got in quickly and was prescribed an antibiotic but I have not slept in three days I can't even get 5 min relief from the pain. I can't only take Tylenol and does not help. I would have loved for them just to numb me for the day so I could sleep and have some relief while antibiotics kick in.

Jul 9, 2026

Angela, Andy, and doctor Doma provided excellent service. Angela, at the front desk, was helpful and very sweet. Andy was kind and a great listener, and Dr. Doma was professional and fixed my smile. Thank you

I'm tired of having my blood pressure taken with a wrist blood pressure cuff. I would think that if they were really concerned about a person's blood pressure they would use sphygmomanometer for an accurate reading.

I think the hygienist was great! The dr. Could probably use a little more practice with children, or at least get doctor that seems like they enjoy working with kids and helps with making them comfortable. Just didn't really seem kids was his specialty. Everyone else was perfect!

Mar 14, 2026

My kids should not have been seen at this dentist without me because I'm their Mom. I've called and informed the office of this twice yet they still went in, despite a court order. Highly unprofessional.

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.

Oct 4, 2025

It was an excellent experience, I just put on my shades, leaned back, and enjoyed the epic adventures of dental hygiene -from skilled professionals.
