“I love my co-workers and the fact that we always try to do what is best for the patient. We are very team oriented and have no production goals. We also get great benefits- excellent coverage on healthcare, lots of PTO, and full dental for my entire family! It’s a good work/home life balance. I love Willamette’s evidence-based dentistry!!! I feel really good about helping patients get the treatment they actually need.” - Glassdoor
“I love our evidenced-based philosophy. I don’t feel like I am selling dentistry - no icky production discussion. We get a matching 401k. I do feel like we have a great team culture; dental assistants & RDH’s join together to make the most of the day & do what’s best for the patients. We aren’t divided. I do feel like I have autonomy as a clinician. I enjoy where I work.” - Glassdoor

"Willamette offers health, dental and vision insurance. Other perks like 401k, vacation time and disability are also available. Benefits like these are hard to come by in a private practice setting." - Glassdoor
"There aren't many dental practices that offer the very generous benefits package that Willamette Dental offers." - Glassdoor
“Great pay and benefits. Willamette really cares about making its employees happy and doing right by their patients. A lot of effort goes into employee development, retention, timely annual reviews, continual improvements in technology, and competitive compensation. For those dental assistants wanting more out of their career, opportunities to work with specialists, or become a restorative assistant are available and supported. Staffing allows the freedom for employees to take vacation when YOU want it, rather than having to take it when the dentist takes theirs.” - Glassdoor
