“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
