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.

Gina the dental hygienist is outstanding. Dr. Yi was very responsive and helpful.
Oct 24, 2025
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.
Oct 24, 2025
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.
Oct 18, 2025
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).

Everyone in the Office was terrific. I don't like how difficult it was to schedule my Check-Up. I had to wait over 60 days!

I have significant dental anxiety. They were so kind, calm, understanding, and gentle. That doesn't happen a whole lot. It was GREATLY appreciated!!! I probably wouldn't have made my additional needed appointments, if it wouldn't have been for the way they treated me and handled the situation.

Fasting courteous, very knowledgeable went over Care procedures
Jan 10, 2025
Having to get oral surgery done 30 to 40 miles away is just not acceptable. This needs to change
Jan 11, 2025
Yes, so I have an additional comment and that is Dr. Yi was an excellent physician, extremely knowledgeable and was good at setting me at ease. My blood pressure was a little bit high and she was concerned but was able to give subsequent blood pressures and which did bring it down to some degree. She was willing to consider my status, my nervousness and was able to complete the test.
Jan 10, 2025
Really appreciate their efforts
Jan 2, 2025
Dr. Yi has always been a pleasant provider. She listens and acknowledges what you are saying. I'm lucky to have her as my care provider.
