Dr. Morrison’s Biography
Dr. Morrison was hooked on dentistry as soon as he performed his first filling on a model tooth in college. He was excited to see that he could use his hands to improve someone’s health. Since then he has traveled as far as Peru to do just that, participating in gratifying humanitarian efforts throughout several cities plus a remote village high in the Andes where many had never seen a dentist in their lives. “Prevention is key”, he says, joining Willamette Dental to break from the constraints of fee-for-service practice.
He’s also drawn to challenge and relaxation and, weather permitting, visits the golf course to recharge.

Dr Morrison is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. He's kind and takes his time to explain things to me. I have huge dental anxiety from childhood trauma. I went years without seeing a dentist. Then we found Dr Morrison and I am a regular patient. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else ?

The dental hygienist was rough with my daughter even after my daughter had expressed so.

Sep 25, 2025
We've had Willamette Dental for years and I've almost always been completely happy with the staff. The one negative thing I have to say is that lately it's been difficult to get a routine appointment. Appointment dates are booked far out. When I call I'm offered one appointment and if that doesn't work for us then I'm told the calendar isn't open far enough to schedule. This results in a long game of phone tag as I work and can't always answer my phone. It shouldn't be this hard to schedule a routine appointment! I realize your offices are limited in Clark county, which may be part of the problem. The actual staff, including those poor people trying to schedule me an appointment, our great.
Sep 18, 2025
The dental hygienist was amazing. The dentist himself, Dr. Morrison, was very short and didn't stick around for questions. And I didn't feel like he cared that my daughter's teeth were hurting her and have been for the past two years. And anyways, thanks.
Sep 17, 2025
A very good experience for someone with high dental anxiety. A job well done, thank you very much.

Our provider and the staff at the Mill Plain location are wonderful. Scheduling appointments, however, is quite challenging with limited availability. I had to call four times to get appointments that worked for our family because time slots were filled and scheduling farther out was not yet available.
Aug 31, 2025
I called at least 5 times to get an August appointment. They kept telling me to call back and then there were no appointments. I got on a cancellation list. They need more dentists in Vancouver WA.
Aug 22, 2025

Apr 27, 2025
The staff was great! They provided the care I needed. The only complaint would be not being able to be seen sooner, I was in excruciating pain for a couple of days before I was seen without medication that could provide relief.
Apr 23, 2025
Dr. Morrison was great
Apr 23, 2025
Yeah, you guys were awesome. The, I don't know the titles, but the hygienists, perhaps both of them, I don't know, were very, very good. I felt no pain and it was nice to be told I didn't have any cavities despite the Red Bulls that I've been drinking. So keep up the good work. And with that, keeping my teeth healthy. Thanks guys. Always a pleasure.

We love you guys! We were early and you got us in early! Very professional and kind. Thank you all!
Mar 23, 2025
Sending us to a pediatric dentist to replace a filling he put in (but fell out) is fine, but now we have to wait a month for that appointment, just for that dentist to confirm the filling is missing, then make another appointment to have it filled is ridiculous. Especially because we can't make that last appointment until after the next even though it's needed. So it will be likely another month and a second trip into Portland interrupting his school day again and more time off of work. All because the first filling was poorly done. It's disappointing and very poor service and "care". There is no care in this model.
Mar 21, 2025
I so appreciate that they are not just trying to upsell you with more expensive procedures but they will only do what is needed. I had just come from a dentist that recommended anything and everything to boost their bottom line so this is refreshing to say the least! Dr Morrison and the rest are excellent and caring and knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!

Dr Morrison is the G.O.A.T! He was fast, no pain, and is the only dentist I will see after a lifelong fear of going to the dentist. He needs to receive the Willamette dentist of the year Heisman award!!
