The hygienist was amazing! Very detailed, took her time, and did meticulous work. She gave me tips on more effective brushing techniques. Dr. Perry is great! He does great work as well and I have a follow up appointment scheduled to replace a crown that is failing.

Most improved, they need to take x-rays on your teeth. I didn't get no x-rays. That's the only thing I would say. I would get x-rays for cavities and that. That's the only thing I would say. But Dr. Perry is one of the best doctors ever and it was excellent. His partner was there and she was great too. So I had a very good experience. Thank you.

Nov 1, 2025

My hygienist was very informative and thorough. They reviewed my paperwork prior and made sure I was comfortable during my visit.

GREAT TEAM FROM FRONT OFFICE TO BACK.

This was first filling (replacement) I've had in years, and was surprised and so happy with the new process and material. It was quick and from what I remember of the old school silver filling this was much less painful or uncomfortable.

Oct 24, 2025

My appointment was definitely a 5 Star visit and the dental provider was skilled, patient and overall; exceptional.

Oct 18, 2025

Oct 11, 2025

I came in to schedule an appointment and was able to get in immediately due to a cancelation. Dumb luck for me. Everyone was great. They listened to me carefully and gave me some options for treatment and described a very realistic timeliness for treatment. Gals at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you.

Oct 10, 2025

Staff were very professional and kind. A pleasant experience.

Oct 5, 2025

Dr Perry explained everything clearly and was very professional.

Oct 5, 2025

The dentist was great, the dental assistant was terrible and made multiple mistakes during the visit. She acted like she had no idea what she was doing.

Oct 5, 2025

You guys are great!

Oct 5, 2025

It was exceptional

Oct 5, 2025

I had to schedule 4 apts for 4 weeks bc I couldn't get apts together. Very annoying.

Oct 5, 2025

This place is great the only issue I have is the schedule is so far out usually to be seen.

MJ was great. Her calm, friendly demeanor combined with her gentleness and efficiency made my cleaning session a pleasant experience. Dr. Perry was quite informative about my teeth, and addressed all my concerns. I appreciated his in-depth, but understandable, explanations. There was also another technician whose name escapes me, but she had long, braided red hair. She was also quite helpful, and I felt like the team as a whole was kind and cohesive. The scheduler and the front desk person were also fast and fantastic. All-in-all, my visit was top notch from the moment I walked in the door. Your text reminders are also INCREDIBLY helpful. I can't always answer my phone or listen to a voicemail, so having a text reminder I can glance at is perfect! I'm actually looking forward to my next dentist appointment.

Sep 28, 2025

5

I'm very thankful!

Sep 26, 2025

5

I want to say that the dental hygienist, the dentist, and the people up front, and also calling for appointments, I would say be a 10. I'm so glad to be able to be a part of the dental service that you guys give, so kudos.

Sep 20, 2025

5

Thank you for the great service. I appreciate the thoughtful listening to my concerns on pain and procedures.

Sep 13, 2025

Both the dentist AND dental assistant were great. The dentist was informative, helpful, and explained what was going to happen. The dental assistant that brought me to my chair was extremely friendly, upbeat, friendly, and outgoing. Please make sure to give her a shout-out as iny experience, these staff members don't always get the credit they deserve.

Sep 4, 2025

They were very compassionate and caring and gentle and providing service for me. I've had really horrible experiences in the past with previous dental providers, but Willamette and Dr. Perry and his team have done an excellent job.

Sep 4, 2025

Best service from a dental provider I've had in a long time.

Aug 31, 2025

5

Dr Perry, as always, is an amazing provider! He patiently listens and goes over all the options for treatment. I had a hygienist today that I had not had before and I was very happy with her work, would love to see MJ again in the future!

Aug 30, 2025

5

I can't really recommend to family or friends because this service is provided by my work.

Was told to purchase a toothpaste from provider without knowledge.

The only thing I really dislike is the whole phone tree situation. It's super annoying!!!

Aug 16, 2025

5

Dr. Perry explains every aspect of the procedures he's performing. Interventions are pain free and expedient. I don't believe I've ever had a better dentist!

Aug 16, 2025

5

STaff is always super friendly and helpful, hygienist and assistant were prompt, friendly and helpful. Denist is always respectful, friendly and helpful.

Aug 7, 2025

Appointment was great. The only part I find annoying is being asked three different times to take a survey.

Aug 4, 2025

5

The Spokane staff are amazing ! Dr Perry and all the staff were very professional and friendly !

Aug 4, 2025

5

I like Dr. Perry and the staff. I prefer it not to be hard core Profesional.

Aug 3, 2025

5

The entire staff is very professional and makes a great team. Congratulations, and I hope everyone continues to work like this.

I was very happy with everyone I was involved with at my dentist appointment.

Great bedside manner

Jul 27, 2025

Went into the local office to find out why I got a text message stating that I needed to make an appointment when I had already had one. Was informed that the appointment that I had was cancelled. It would be nice to be informed about the cancellation instead of just telling me that I needed to make a appointment.

Jul 20, 2025

5

It was a great experience and as always the people were great to work with

Jul 18, 2025

5

Dr. Perry and his team go beyond providing excellent care/treatment; they make me feel welcome and relaxed.

Jul 15, 2025

5

Dr. Perry and Ronnie were amazing. They both took the time to make me feel comfortable and calm. I'm not the ideal patient. Going to the dentist is not the first thing on my list. They made this appointment a great experience. Thank you.

Jul 14, 2025

5

I usually go to the N. Spokane location but was able to get in to the valley one. Everyone was extremely nice and professional. I had been able to be on a cancelation list and got in sooner for my toothache. The only thing I have against Willamette Dental in general is that you need to be able to respond to urgent issues sooner.

Jul 12, 2025

5

Best filling ever! Dentist did a great job!

Jul 9, 2025

Everyone was absolutely lovely.

Jul 5, 2025

the staff at my dentist is top notch. I actually enjoy my visits!

Jun 30, 2025

5

Dr. Perry is excellent! I had a root canal and went in very apprehensive and came out very satisfied with it being done so I had NO pain! Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do, but I'd recommend Dr. Perry to anyone!!! Him and his assistant were the best!

Jun 28, 2025

5

Dr. Perry and Staff are the best! Thank you ?

Jun 23, 2025

The overall experience was great. I would like to bring up the application of the flouride was a bit sloppy. She got it all over my lip and mustache.

Jun 20, 2025

5

This was a dental emergency and they got me in quickly & resolved my issue until I could get a regular appt. I love Willamette

Jun 7, 2025

Very professional and caring.

Jun 6, 2025

Great experience and the dentist and hygentist were awesome. The downfall, is canceled or hard to get appointments.

Jun 2, 2025

I'm enjoying my new tooth... Great job done by all...

Jun 2, 2025

very good

Jun 1, 2025

Things are getting done. Just seems like everything is always pushed out months and have to have multiple appoints when it could be in fewer appointments

May 30, 2025

5

They hygienist who cared for me in this visit was AMAZING. I'm embarrassed that I can't remember her name. She is normally at Pullman, and was only working in Spokane for a few days, but I would drive to Pullman for future visits to schedule with her again. Give her a raise, or whatever you need to do to make her very happy to stay at Willamette.

May 30, 2025

Excellent professional staff!

As someone with severe anxiety about going to the dentist Dr. Perry and the dental assistant that helped him did a great job. They walked me through every step of what they were doing, which definitely helped me get through the appointment without to much anxiety.

Nice folks professional and quick service. I felt welcomed and very comfortable during my visit. Thanks to all.

Apr 5, 2025

Both my children came in at the same time. They made accommodations so they could be seen at almost the same time. The staff was efficient and seemed to do a good job. Dr Perry was helpful and listened to my concerns about my sons possible orthodontic needs.

Apr 11, 2025

Great experience, especially as someone who is TERRIFIED of going to the dentist!

This was out of town by almost 2 hours. The dentist and his staff were as excellent as my local branch.As a retired state worker, I cannot recommend a dental carrier to anyone. I am with Delta Dental and am completely satisfied with the office and all the employees.

Mar 31, 2025

Always amazing care. Everyone at this office is professional and caring. Best dental office I've ever been to.

The day after my Root canal.... I was pain free!!!

Excellent service, thank you all.

Mar 23, 2025

Dr Perry was so thorough and explained all options for my up coming appointment of having a tooth extraction.

Mar 17, 2025

5

consistently, across the board, with all of the different staff; it's a wonderful experience. For years, I avoided going to a dentist and I so appreciate the care that all of the staff at the location I go to uses. It makes ALL of the difference

Mar 15, 2025

5

Appointments book our very far in advance so the office should reach out earlier before a patient is due for their checkup so they can actually get in close to their annual date.

Mar 14, 2025

5

Just as it's important to build a relationship with the dentist, the hygienist is also important. Yet, it's often difficult to schedule time with a particular hygienist, or at least has been in the past.

Mar 16, 2025

5

Nice clean facility and nice staff!

Mar 15, 2025

5

Friendly & professional

Mar 5, 2025

outstanding service

Mar 3, 2025

Yes, I really appreciated being able to get in as soon as I was able to based on the discomfort I was going through. Everybody that was at the office and had any assistance with my care, definitely a five-star experience as far as Dr. Perry, incredible dentist, caring, sincere, and very knowledgeable. I would say that not a lot of people like going to the dentist, and I wouldn't be, I'd probably be one of those.

Mar 2, 2025

Everything about my appointment was good except scheduling an appointment. There was almost two months between calling for the appointment and the appointment. Would like to think I could get in sooner.

Feb 27, 2025

Impressed with how well organized you guys are.

Feb 24, 2025

The staff was super efficient and kind! Couldn't have had a better experience!

Feb 21, 2025

Nobody is supposed to be thrilled going to the dentist, but this place is great!

Feb 21, 2025

All good, great Staff at every instance.

Feb 19, 2025

The Spokane Valley Clinic is amazing from the minute you walk in till you leave. Their front desk staff is amazing. Their hygienists, their assistants, and their dentists are all just wonderful to deal with. I am someone who absolutely hates the dentist and has had terrible experiences and therefore probably don't do the best I should and they are just amazing.

Feb 16, 2025

5

I had my very busy body son with me and my hygienist was amazing with him! The way she talked to him, let him do things with her, and was so patient with him! It made my experience and visit completly less stressful and fun! Thank you!!!!

Feb 16, 2025

I love this office and all the employees. They are professional and extremely friendly!

Feb 16, 2025

Dr Perry and his tech were awesome at explaining my dental problem to me which I appreciate. The front desk staff provide great customer service and are always helpful.

Feb 15, 2025

It was excellent and everyone was so pleasant, and no pain not even from the injection(and I'm a baby when it comes to shots). They made the experience comfortable. I would definitely recommend this dental office. Awesome doctor and staff.

Feb 13, 2025

5

It wasnt just the dentist that was so comforting. Literally, everyone i worked with. Precious, MJ, Dr Perry and the scheduler. Every one of them made me feel very comfortable. I am TERRIFIED to goto the dentist. It had been almost 7 years. All of them were calm, caring, answered all my questions. They were very careful in my mouth. Extra Gentle and worked effeciently but slowly as to not make me any more uncomfortable. Thank you all!!!!

Feb 13, 2025

Good team work to keep the appointment time minimal

Feb 16, 2025

Was scheduled as a new patient and told to show up 15 minutes prior to my appointment which was scheduled for 12:20. I followed instructions, only to be met at the door with a note that everyone was on a lunch break and wouldn't open until 12:20. So being told to show up early is unbeneficial and time consuming when the office isn't even open. Upon opening, was greeted by an individual who didn't know if my paperwork submitted online was in the system, leading to further delays in my appointment even beginning. Once finally through the door, my appointment went well, speedy and no hiccups.

Jan 6, 2025

5

Had to wait for the dentist a bit, but overall good.

Jan 5, 2025

Outstanding

Jan 3, 2025

I love everything about your Spokane Valley Clinic specifically Dr Perry but the entire staff is so professional, personable and competent. I have nothing but good experiences there and Trust Dr Perry's expertise with any issue

Jan 3, 2025

My family likes Dr Perry very much.

Jan 3, 2025

Every visit is like my first. Very pleasant and they tell you what they're going to do before they do it.

Jan 1, 2025

I had a positive experience once I got in to be seen. But the wait to get in as a new patient was extremely long

Dec 15, 2024

We love Dr. Perry. He's a very good dentist and makes the kids feel great about going to the dentist. And I also enjoy seeing him. He makes the dentist not scary and not enjoyable, but it's not scary, so that's good.

Dec 15, 2024

5

This was a great visit! It was kind of an emergency appointment and they were fitting me in but I never felt rushed or that they were cutting corners to get me out. The doctor and assistant were very friendly and professional.

Dec 13, 2024

Thought I'd get more information on retainer for my grinding or a quote, wasn't too satisfied with that

Dec 13, 2024

Great experience. I came in with a broken tooth I thought I would lose. Dr. Perry and his assistant was able to save it! Everyone in the office was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Perry!
