Dr. Yi’s Biography

“Listening is a large part of delivering compassionate dental care,” says Dr. Yi , who listens to understand, answering questions and addressing any concerns her patient might have. She’s most proud of those moments when patients tell her that their experience was positive or that it changed their outlook on dental visits as a whole. Dr. Yi is a strong proponent of Willamette Dental’s proactive, preventative, and evidence-based care philosophy, finding it the ideal fit for her professionally.

Typical weekends take her outdoors, where she likes to stay active and appreciate all that nature has to offer.

This was my first visit with a new Dr and got zero time to get to know him. I had to change from having Dr Yi due to her availability and enjoyed her and her team. There was no time taken or given to get to know my new team. They were kind enough and my HYG was extremely nice and gentle during my probing. Thank you. It was a nice enough appt but left with nothing more I could say.

Gina the dental hygienist is outstanding. Dr. Yi was very responsive and helpful.

Dentist was great. Said everything looked really good. Hygienist got on me a bit for allegedly brushing too rough and causing darkened areas that I have previously been told were from grinding my teeth. It's frustrating to have been taking good care of your teeth for over 40 years (twice daily brushing and daily+ flossing) and have the hygienist say you're doing it wrong.

They were able to schedule an appointment for my tooth issue that was very accommodating. The hygienist was very professional and the dentist provided the solution that worked! She was very good.

Waited 20 min for provider to see me; had to tell her that I had a partial solution on my tooth - she was recommending no need for any dental work.( my broken tooth was fixed temporarily- the solution was clearly temporary).
