Dr. Duffy & his staff completely understand this and have always scheduled me for extra time so I can take "breaks" during routine care or any type of other care. In January I had my routine dental cleaning & check-up and let Dr. Duffy know I had a "lump" on the roof of my mouth. After he looked at it he said I needed to have a biopsy done & he immediately referred me to an Oral Surgeon & got me an appointment with them that day! Long story short, I had a tumor in the roof of my mouth but thankfully it was diagnosed in time & after having another surgery the pathology came back clean on all margins. I am beyond thankful that Dr. Duffy was so proactive, knowledgeable and realized the potential seriousness of the situation. Dr. Duffy and his staff are kind, understanding, thorough & absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend them!! They are very professional, understanding, patient and sincere and the absolute best!!!

With zero amounts of irony, Dr. Bateman has quite literally changed my life…read more I have been terrified of the dentist since I was eight. To the point where even as I child I was having panic attacks. Every dentist I had treated me like a scared little kid even up until adult hood. So I stopped going. My fillings needed replaced, I had a cracked tooth, I had a cavity or two, and I was letting my mouth go to hell all because of my fear. But then I found this office, and everything changed. Dr. Bateman and his staff treated my anxiety seriously. They offered sedation methods that calmed me down to the point of WANTING to get treatment done. They have been patient, kind, and extremely accommodating. Not only can I eat normally again, but my smile looks better than ever and I have a new confidence I lost for years. If any of this sounds like you and your experiences: don't hesitate. You won't regret your time with this team.

They were not able to see me until January 29th leaving with a hole in my front tooth. They then changed the appointment to February 2nd. I voiced m opinion in a letter written to the dentist. He then called me on February 2nd refusing to fix the bridge. I also asked repeatedly in emails to send me my records and the name of the dentist that would work on my bridge. They sent a document that was encrypted and I could not open. They refused to send me my payments that I have made. They also refused to send me the information where the original dentist is practicing. Within the past year alone, this denture has broken three separate times. This is unacceptable for work of this cost and nature. While I understand that the dentist who originally completed the work no longer practices there and that the office has changed ownership, Salem Family and Cosmetic Dentistry purchased this practice and assumed responsibility for its patients and prior dental work. I have also been told that you will not repair the denture unless I pay upfront, allegedly due to my "attitude." I am upset because I have every right to be given that I have had to deal with three failures of a very expensive denture in less than a year. My frustration comes from feeling ignored, dismissed, and treated unfairly.

From great conversations to getting to the business at hand, I had a flawless experience. I typical do not favor going to a dentist office. I also typically experience a bit of anxiety just thinking about going to one. However, that was quickly resolved within minutes of sitting in the chair. Hard to think about anxiety when you're engaged in great conversation with each person, every step of the way. I've never seen anything or experienced anything like it. I'm actually quite impressed. I literally feel like I could take my lunch there, sit and have lunch with them and chat away. I heavily considered jumping at one of the low offers from a different office. As times are a bit tight. However I've learned the hard way you get what you pay for... I was pleased to find out, my walking out the door bill was more than fair and I'm glad I didn't try to go to a low budget place. They're definitely competitively priced here. So with great pricing, top shelf treatment, above and beyond customer service.. it'd be a crime if I didn't review this gem of a find. A+ experience for sure! As long as I live in Oregon, I'll drive here from anywhere. Very well worth it.

He will NOT "shame" you for being lax on your cleanings (like I was) and doesn't ask you questions with his hands in your mouth. I had a filling done yesterday and it was smooth sailing. His office only uses composite (the white resin) so no nasty mercury fillings. The numbing shot did not hurt at all and the drill is so much quieter than it was a few years ago. He explained what he was going to do before he did it and what it would feel like. I know most people might not need that but I definitely get anxious during dental visits. Long story short, I'm not afraid of the dentist anymore! I can't wait to go back to get my other filling done and get started on my clear aligners. Plus free whitening for life!
