Dr. Lee and Haelee were absolutely amazing. They gave me a one day crown that they scanned and…read moreplaced all in the same visit. My last dentist, it took weeks just for them to then turn around and have to seek approval from the insurance a second time because designing the crown took so long. I cannot overstate how nice it was to just get it all done in one vist. Both doctor Lee and Haelee were friendly, included me in their conversation even when I could only respond with a thumbs up and they even went the extra mile of getting rid of calsification even though it wasn't originally in the plan. If you are looking for a Dentist, I highly recommend McKenzie Dental Center. Their hours are flexible, when I say I need an appointment while my kids are in school, they make sure to find something that works for me and I never have to wait long for anything.

What a fantastic dentist. After researching all the options in Eugene, OR I chose this one because…read moreof his desire to use the best materials for any dental work. Think of him as an organic, vs. a conventional farmer. Instead of offering you the super cheap pesticide chemical-ridden tomato, he has gone out of his way to find the best quality organic tomato from an organic farm stand that tastes delicious and is actually good for you. There is a cost difference, but you are getting a different service. This one will support your health and immune system. And (as a recent transplant from Los Angeles), his pricing is really not that crazy at all. So, if you are sold in his method of practicing, you wait until you visit. The staff are incredibly friendly, you are made to feel super welcome. When you are in the chair, everything Is explained to you in words you can understand AND they go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable. The facilities are super clean and spotless. (I have seen some awful dental practices in my time) and finally, when you are all done and ready to leave, I was offered the carnation in the picture. Now I cannot guarantee they'll give you a flower every time, but for a business to go above and beyond like that, they deserve a solid review explaining how much they care that you have a good experience. I am a paying customer with no affiliation to them. Go support them and your health of you and your family. You will not regret it.

Dr. Wicker and his team were good to me in the beginning. I really enjoyed the teeth cleaning and…read moreWicker is a master with the drill. So bonus points for that. My husband went to his appointment after me and they were completely different with him. Very pushy and aggressive about what he needed and he felt bullied. My husband is the sweetest and kindest human being and did not deserve to be like this. He came home upset and stressed out. And that's no way a person should ever feel after visiting the dentist. I called later to reschedule my cleaning as this was one of the reasons that I signed on with them in the first place. They were always able to get me in in reasonable time. They mentioned that they always have room for their clients. Instead, they told me that they didn't have another appointment for 6months, making it clear that they couldn't even put me on a cancellation list. My takeaways: Their prices are extremely high, double and triple the going rates. Insurance generally not accepted or rather insurance won't pay because of their exorbitant rates. They are very aggressive and pushy. They are not as accommodating as they claim to be. They use the terms holistic and wellness in their description, which is attractive to those of us looking for what would be a more natural approach, but they are inauthentic when it comes to what you really need. Unfortunately, I can not recommend this dentist office.

Writing this review makes me sad because I have been a patient at Gentle Dental for nearly 15…read moreyears. Last year I went in for an exam but it had been a few years since my previous cleaning and my teeth were in rough shape. The dentist wanted to remove 7 of my teeth! I was shocked and declined the removal. Instead I sought out other alternatives. I had each quadrant of my mouth "scaled" - a deep cleaning procedure that I've had done before. Then I got a water pic and started to up my daily maintenance. When I went back for my 6 month exam this year I received high praise on how good my teeth were and nobody said a thing about those 7 teeth still needing to be removed. Thanks to MYSELF I managed to save and retain all of my teeth! Then, just recently I started experiencing some pain in my gums. It felt like one of my wisdom teeth was trying to grow sideways out of my gums. After a week it hadn't really gotten better so I scheduled a short appointment just to have it checked out. The hygienist took an x-ray and then the dentist came in. He took a quick look and told me that it's not infected, just a small cut in my gums most likely from eating something sharp. He said it's healing fine and I don't need antibiotics. He then shocked me when he said "I recommend removing the wisdom tooth." Then the next thing I knew he was numbing my gums and preparing a shot. That's when I freaked out!!! I was on my lunch break and told him I needed to get back to work. The hygienist said "oh that's fine, you can go back to work." These people clearly do not get to know their patients. First of all, I immediately started to sweat and shake and panic and felt light-headed. I had so many questions, and even if I did decide to have my tooth removed I would need anxiety medication beforehand, someone to accompany me AND to drive me home afterwards, pre-purchased foods at home to eat while my gums healed, and definitely time off from work! I'm also a smoker, so knowing that I wouldn't be able to smoke after having a tooth removed I would need to mentally prepare and plan ahead for that. These people are so quick to jump to "we need to remove your teeth!" Beware! They didn't give me any time to think, just react, and my reaction was to leave. Perhaps if they had sat down calmly and gave me some information to help me understand WHY they thought the tooth should come out then I could at least understand my options, but I was aghast when they didn't even give me any post-surgery instructions beforehand, what to expect, etc. They didn't even give me any time to register what was about to happen. If you have dental anxiety like I do I DO NOT recommend this place. I DO however recommend taking their advice with a grain of salt, stand up for yourself and don't let them pressure you into unnecessary tooth extractions!

I've been going to see Dr. Elford since I was... Probably about 13 years old, or so. Even now that…read moreI live in Ashland, I still make a trek up to go see him. I'm too attached, what can I say? He's always been the nicest dude ever. One might say overly nice, and generally I would too, but he isn't creepy about it in the slightest. One reason I have been going to him (and will for as long as I can do it) is that he knows me, and doesn't just treat me like I'm any patient or just a number. I hadn't been in to see him in over a year and a half (since long before last summer when I moved to Portland for a while) and he saw me and asked how my job and how Portland was treating me. Just little things like that, when doctors/dentists actually remember little things about you. I appreciate that kind of stuff. And I told him that I was in Ashland now, and of course he said, "wow, you're just all over the place these days." Yes... yes I am. Anyways. The second reason I will always go to him is that he never tries to sell me stuff I don't need. When I lived in Portland, I decided to see a new dentist in Hillsboro (or something) and he had told me I needed a ridiculous amount of work done on my teeth (totaled up to about 2500$ of crap) and I thought... Yeah, you're probably full of shit because I would probably be in major pain if I needed all that. So I had them send Dr. Elford my X-Rays and such and he basically said what I thought. That that other guy is a typical city dentist trying to squeeze money out of me for work I don't need done. Turns out I actually do need a root canal (and a few fillings... yikes), but that was found way later. ...I have weak teeth. It's a curse. He knows it, too. He KNOWS I take care of my teeth. There's no helping it. In conclusion: I will always recommend Dr. Elford to anybody looking for a dentist in the Eugene area. He's a super cool guy, the hygienists are always great, and the front desk lady (she's been there since ever) is super nice (although chatty) and also knows me fairly well.

I went in after my mouth had healed 8 months after having the root pulled where my tooth broke off in March. I set up an exam went in and was made an appointment to get my implant and a bone graft at the same time in 9 days from my first. I thought I would have to have the graft put in then wait to see if it took. The people are nice and helpful. Everyone is so friendly. I am now waiting to heal. In February I will be able to get my implant exposed and my crown put on. If all has healed well. No guarantees everyone is different in how they heal. Or accept or decline the implant. So far so good. The stitches after the implant healed very very well. Marina was impressed. Marina Michael is my dentist and she is so kind and gentle. I really appreciate her and her staff.
