Willamette Dental Group - Tumwater

"Israel was literally the BEST hygienist I have ever had. I have been going to the dentist twice a year since I had teeth come in and I am 53, so that says a-lot! He was careful, thorough, pleasant, knowledgable, kind, and tidy! No pokes, squirts or negative comments! Dr Sierra was wonderful as well! She was thorough and did not ask a question then shove her hands in my mouth when it was time for me to respond! Wow, she listened and showed genuine interest and concern!! This is the first time I did not have some sort of stress or anxiety at the dentist and where I left actually feeling positive, and not that I have an abnormally small mouth, and made their job tough. Also this was the first time I was sent off with kind words rather than some kind of intense warning or message about future challenges if… I have always felt I took good care of my teeth floss/brush daily, and this was the first time I felt good, like I am ok, and doing things right! The sweet front desk lady was as nice as can be (I forget her name -pretty asian/friendly smile). I have finally found a dentist office that I will not dread going to! Well done!! Ps… the back lit large ocean picture across from dentist chair was a comfy touch! Very relaxing!"

"I have a fear of the dentist - which I know is silly in my mid 30’s. My experience with Willamette dental helped me get over my fear. My 8 year old daughter was finally able to complete a full cleaning due to the patience and care provided by Anna. I am so thankful for the care we received and would highly recommend Willamette in Tumwater to anyone who will listen. Thank you!!"

"My entire family prefers the Tumwater Willamette office. It's conveniently located and a comfortable atmosphere. I can't imagine going anywhere else."

"Terrible experiences here both myself and our boys, if you can go elsewhere do it! Botched work causing more damage then we started with more than once over thr years. Only stayed because of insurance reasons contracted through Willamette, but after my last incident it was the last straw. Will never go again, would rather pay cash!"

"Update: From 2 to 1 stars. I had a tooth removed 6 months ago (well partially, the roots could not be removed.) I was told by Sarah Kang that she would get me referred to a surgeon to remove the rest of the tooth. That never happened. I went in for a cleaning, which they denied due to high blood pressure (although I have the proper documents on file from my medical doctor stating general cleaning was safe.) At that time I shared with this random new doctor who was seeing me that my referral was never placed. Thanks to the random doctor, the surgeons office called me 3 days later. Sarah Kang treats her paitents like dollar signs just checking off the boxes to move people through. Open enrollment for insurance for state employees is this month and the timing could be better. I've received better car at Sea Mar clinics. My advice, go literally anywhere else. Previous review: I have been a paitent since I was a child. I didn't go during the pandemic for obvious reasons, but once returning as a patient and enrolling my child I have been extremely disappointed. Growing up, I saw the same person for almost a decade. Now going in, I've seen a different person everytime for my child. All saying different things. There's no consistency. BONUS: there's a new hygienist named Maddie. She is AMAZING. Even being newer to the office, she was understanding of my concerns and made my child feel comfortable."
