I am so glad I found this office! I had a bad experience at my last dental office (in another…read morestate) and was super weary of dentist offices because of it. I had never had anxiety for a dentist visit before the last place, where they had tried to bully me into procedures that were not necessary so they could make more money. Luckily, there are places like this one, where doctors still care. Dr Schapper, Amanda, and all of the staff were so very kind and helpful throughout the process. The cleaning and the x-rays were even one of the most gentle and comfortable procedures I've had done (you know how those x rays things that go in your mouth can pinch and be super uncomfortable - not so here!) I actually ended up coming here after searching for an office that would work with my new job's insurance. Everyone I had called over the past months merely said, "we do not work with your insurance." When I called into this office, the woman said, "would you like me to call them and see for you? I know it can be tricky." She called, called right back, was able to tell me exactly what would be covered, and I made my appointment. Everything else continued along with this same kindness and help.

I would say Dr. Kendall Wood is one of the best and kindest DDS in town. He has been my dentist for…read more2 years. recently, he has done frenectomy (to remove tongue tie) for my son as complimentary while other pediatricians hesitated doing this for a newborn and asked me to go to Portland for a such a small procedure.

I would give 0 stars to Gental Dental in Corvallis, Oregon. During my first visit, the dentist was…read morecondescending, rude, and aggressive; however, I love Gental Dental in Albany, Oregon.

I've been going there for about 18 months and after each appointment I left feeling like I wanted a…read morenew dentist. I saw three different Dentists, and two different hygienists. The hygienist I liked is no longer there. The feeling I had was that the three dentists I met don't care about the patients. They all took my questions as an insult and got defensive and talked down to me. Like I've never had my teeth cleaned before! The place looks nice, and the receptionists are great but once you're in the chair, the whole experience is not great. I had one hygienist lightly bring up politics (assuming I would agree) while she was cleaning and wanted to scream. Its frustrating that they give out cookies and starbucks gift cards as though they are oblivious that sugar causes cavities. Seems like the Dentists are here for a racket.

Do not trust this dentist office!! Super long review but worth the read…read more Well sad end to many years at this place. They have always been really nice to work with till they changed how they take my insurance. I had a appointment for a onlay/crown and filling. It was just after the first of the year and I knew my insurance would be covering more of the cost as that's how the plan we have works. When I walked in that morning to get my work done I went and made sure I was paying all my potions up front to avoid any back dated billing. Because I have seen this done with other dentist offices in the past. They told me they changed things and my cost was going to be much more now. I said why did you not tell before hand. They said we tried to contact all customers but clearly they did not. The lady was nice and said let's see what we can do and she lowers the bill from like $443.00 down to $139.00, ok well I figure I like them and a $139.00 is worth going to a place you like. So I paid up front for the services of that day and got the work done. Well low and behold a few weeks later here comes a bill for $304.00. I call them and try and talk to them about how I did everything in my power to avoid this and had a detailed conversation with the lady who took my payment. They still stand by the fact I need to pay while admitting they are the ones that changed the insurance plans, but still want me to pay for something they chose to do. Pretty shady way to treat customers that try and make sure all bills are paid up front. And call me crazy but it sure looks like they moved the remainder over from the original bill when I walked in that day. And did not adjustment to cost. You know simple math. And I told them that day it was the wrong amount I would owe.. so in the end the office lady in billing was totally ok with me not returning to them again as a customer. So apparently they don't care about keeping customers. So please think about that before doing business with people like this. Customer service when it matters is important not just being chipper when you walk in.

I heard such good things about this practice but Dr Haslam treated me very rudely. I'm 72 and…read moreafraid of dentistry after some bad experiences in my youth. Dr Haslam talked to me as if I were a child and when I explained that I had some bad memories he said "I'm not forcing you to be here".

I made an appt. for a consultation, I have a large and complicated front upper loose bridge that I…read moreneeded replaced, I was looking for a dentist that could take on this complicated job. I explained when I made the appt. I did not want to waste my time or insurance money with a Dentist that could not do the job I needed.(I had already been down that road a month before) Well when I got in the chair at the appt. Dr.Haslam tells me they need a comprehensive set of x-rays for my entire mouth and this bridge is going to cost tens of thousands of dollars and he will probably need to bring in a surgeon. so they take a couple of x rays and Dr.$$$$ Haslam tells me the same thing again. so I say lets do it! because I need a new bridge. on the way out they make me a 2hr.appt. for comprehensive xrays almost a month out. this bridge is almost falling out and includes 7 teeth. I dont think Dr.Haslam has the experience to take on such a complex job, and just wanted to scare me away. But thanks for wasting my time and insurance money.
