I do not--and I mean DO NOT--like going to the dentist. In fact, I have such a fear of dental work…read morethat when I was told years ago that I needed all of my teeth removed, I avoided it and instead had teeth pulled one at a time whenever the pain became unbearable. So when I walked into this appointment knowing I would likely need full-mouth extractions, I was terrified. From the moment I sat down, I knew this office was different from any dental office I had ever visited. The staff's kindness and compassion immediately stood out. Patrick, the dental assistant helping with my care, was an absolute ray of sunshine. He treated me like we had been friends for years. I hadn't eaten that morning, and my blood pressure was a little concerning. Without hesitation, Patrick offered me part of his own lunch to help. Beyond that, he was one of the funniest and most genuine people I have ever met. When you're as fearful as I am, having someone who can make you laugh and feel comfortable makes all the difference. My 7-year-old daughter was with my wife and me during the visit. When she heard I was going to have surgery to remove all of my teeth, she became upset and started crying. Patrick immediately comforted her with a hug and helped calm her fears. The rest of the staff went above and beyond as well, taking her to the front desk, letting her pick out a toy, and keeping her company while I underwent my procedure. Dr. Nguyen was equally amazing. Throughout the entire procedure, she continually checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and not in pain. The team even covered me with a weighted blanket to help me feel more secure and relaxed. Every step of the way, Dr. Nguyen and her staff did everything possible to make sure I was comfortable, cared for, and supported. For someone with severe dental anxiety, this experience could not have been more positive. The compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness shown by everyone in this office were unlike anything I have ever experienced in a dental setting. If you're nervous about going to the dentist, this is the place to go. They don't just care for your teeth--they care for you as a person.

She always knows exactly what needs to be done when she knows is something wrong with my teeth and she does an amazing job performing whatever task is necessary.

On April 13, I took my father-in-law, Jack, a Korean War veteran who was 92 at the time and has…read moresince turned 93, to Brookside Dental in Gresham for his first visit with Dr. Robert Kowal and his team. I waited until May 6 to write this because I wanted to let the experience settle. It was that rare. From the moment we walked in, I sensed a different kind of culture in this office. On the way in, Jack had cut his finger, and before we were even focused on the dental appointment, the front desk team responded with such kindness and calm attention that you would have thought we had come in just for that. They immediately helped with bandages and care, without making it feel like an inconvenience. At one point, Jack's walker was blocking the door leading back into the office. A gentleman stood there patiently, smiling gently, with no sense of hurry or irritation. I later realized that was Dr. Robert Kowal returning from lunch. That small moment said a lot. Our hygienist, Deb, was exceptional. I do not say that lightly. She was professional, intelligent, warm, calm, and deeply genuine. She helped with sterile supplies for Jack's finger without hesitation, and then carried that same level of care into the dental visit itself. She was never rushed. She connected with Jack as a person, not just as a patient. As someone who works in the medical and psychiatry field, and as someone who values genuine human connection, I recognize when care is real. Deb has that rare quality. The entire visit felt like we had walked into an office of people we had somehow known for years, yet everything remained highly professional. Dr. Kowal and the team knew exactly what they were doing clinically, but what stood out was the way they treated Jack, with patience, dignity, humor, and genuine interest. This was not a rushed appointment. It was a true getting-to-know-you experience, paired with excellent dental care. At one point I stepped out of the exam room and had a chance to visit with Dr. Kowal. That kind of personal connection is something I have almost never experienced in a dental or medical office. Even the other patients coming and going seemed relaxed and happy. You could tell this was not just special treatment for us; this appears to be the culture of the entire office. I have rarely, if ever, witnessed this level of care in any healthcare setting. Brookside Dental, Dr. Kowal, Deb, and the entire team modeled what healthcare should feel like: competent, calm, warm, respectful, and deeply human. This was far more than a good dental visit. It was one of the most unique and meaningful healthcare experiences I have witnessed. My father-in-law felt the same. Brookside Dental has created something truly special, and I hope the team knows how valuable and rare that is.
