Dear Patients of Hucrest Family & Implant Dentistry,…read more Over the last several years, I have slowly transitioned out of general dentistry and focused on my specialty of dental anesthesiology. Dr. White has been the primary general dentist of the practice since coming aboard in 2015. He has provided excellent patient care, while gaining their trust and respect. My intention has always been to retain some ownership of the practice and have Dr. White join as an equal partner. Due to a series of "life events" my family has experienced; things haven't gone as planned. In January 2024, Dr. White purchased the practice and is now the sole owner of Hucrest Family & Implant Dentistry. Dr. White will continue his role as the primary dentist with the same focus of general and family dentistry. Additionally, he will maintain some level of specialty referrals for those requiring my expertise to facilitate their dental treatment with the priority given to children and those with special needs who are candidates for in office sedation/anesthesia. To provide context to these "life events" I would like to share a couple of things that lead to my decision to sell the entire practice. Like most people, my tendency is to be keep my "life events" to myself, but I felt it important to reciprocate the same level vulnerability and trust that has been given to me by the patients over the years. The foremost reason for stepping back is related to my wife being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in the fall of 2021. She has fought through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and multiple surgeries related with her disease. Due to her health, I am choosing to prioritize time with my family, especially now that my daughter is close to graduating high school and will be leaving for college soon. Many of you know I have provided continuing education to other dentists both locally and nationally by mentoring and lecturing regularly in Portland, Las Vegas, and Chicago among other cities. Being one of only 300 board certified dental anesthesiologists in the country provides many opportunities to educate dentists and shape the future of dentistry. In fact, I recently accepted a position of clinical professor at OHSU's School of Dentistry a couple days per month in hopes to establish a future Dental Anesthesiology residency at OHSU. This position allows the opportunity to share my expertise as a Dental Anesthesiologist to the next generation of Dentists and various Dental Specialists by overseeing their sedation/anesthesia cases in OHSU's post-doctorate clinics. The ability to share my expertise and set standards for patient safety for the future dental providers is a very important component within our statewide and national dental community. As I have stepped back from my owner responsibilities, I have more time to dedicate to my family, provide mobile anesthesia services to dentists, explore opportunities within my specialty, and still work back a few days per month in the dental office that has been my home base for the last 15 years. It was my privilege to earn your trust and build relationships over the years. Please accept my heart felt "thank you" for allowing the opportunity to be part of your dental health. For the review the that attempted to shame me and questioned my professionalism, I hope this letter provides some perspective. Although, my availability at the Hucrest office is less than before, I am still working back to continue care for those requiring my services. It must be known that some insurances required patients to be referred back to their primary office due to specific contractual agreements. While I understand your frustration, I do not regret placing priority on my family during this time in my life. I feel no shame on my decision and wish you the best. Sincerely, Jeffrey A Kobernik DMD

Took too long to write I went to them for sedation dentistry…read moreafter a great phone conversation , and they had a long wait unless there was a cancellation. Luckily there was . my procedure was going to take two visits little did I know that they would be space a year apart , they did not tell me that. First appt. went fine no issues til after recovery and since. strange metallic taste in my mouth when the gave me a call I did tell them of the nasty taste. they ignored that , and then they had to change my appt. from July to November of 2023 and than they had to change that to very early morning and I living 80 miles away could not do that appt. so they changed again . and than I get a call to tell me they He had sold the business and would not finish the work he started. What professional does that starts a job and does not finish leaving me to live for over two years with a bad taste in my mouth He was suppose to go over a plan of dentures or implants or partials I got nothing no back teeth on my right side so only chewing on my left. I write this today as I can not deal with the taste anymore and searching for a new sedation dentist to Only find out Yes He SOLD the practice , BUT he still works there . How can a man of honor throw away his patients and not finish what he started . I would never reccomend any one go there as they may say they will fit you in if there is a cancellation I can not believe that no one cancelled their appt. for over a year leaving me to deal with a half finsihed job in my mouth SHAME ON YOU

Going to this office is one of my bigger mistakes in life. For a year he didn't listen to my…read morerequests, he gave me a $1000 crown, which came off,and then he was going to do a root canal on that tooth as well! Another $750. All done he got over $5000.00 for me to be left with more pain, teeth I shouldn't have had to keep and a demeaning feeling from Jed. I had constant infections,severe pain and open wounds that lasted months instead of a week or two. I hated it. Jed Norman is a fraud. He is a selfish. He has Terrible bedside manner- always talking over me,about me!! Stopped helping me with pain because he thought the pharmacist would look at him funny. Absurd. All this along with a shattered top jaw "to grow bone" and this went over a year! I went to Aspen and had everything done in 3 mo ths. Minimal pain. Talked to Me, not at or over me. And I was listened to. Bam.

I just wanted to get on and give another review about how awesome Dr Norman is. I have severe…read moredentist anxiety and today was my third appointment him and his staff are very caring, according and they listen to my nervous nonsense and talk me thru it. Dr. Norman keeps good convorsation going, keeps you in the loop of what he's doing . His staff seem very personable and attentive. I look forward to getting my teeth back to healthy and just wanted to let everyone know if you bad dental anxiety, or dental fears this is your place to go the whole office is great I have not one complaint, the appointments are made in a timely manor, after hour emergencies addressed very timely, I would highly recommend this office and Dr Norman for all dental needs. Thank you guys.

Very condescending .. very expensive $19,000.00 !!!! to fix a 3 unit bridge and that is with 2 implants !! I then went to another dentist I only need one implant. And Sutton doing it immediately after the extraction is not a good idea which is what he wanted to do. I had the extraction, it was vertically split tooth and it's not healing an immediate implant would have failed..he also said I had decay? That's not at all what happened I had radiation.!!! if you want to spend thousands of dollars go there., I'm not convinced their dental care will last either after my experience..very nice office ..very attentive staff..BUT....THE actual dentist not so much...

Anyone considering Dr. Lee Willis and his staff as your family dentist should do extensive, thorough due diligence before selecting this dental office! Thank You

What a great office, cozy, modern, professional, painless!…read more I was referred by a friend and I was happy I did. The office is clean, modern, and it almost doesn't make you feel like you are in a dental office. I appreciated the phone call 24 hours in advance. During the visit I was comfortable, never rushed and best of all I didn't even feel the shot! The procedure was a breeze. Total TLC!! I'm glad that I've found Dr. Liesinger and I would recommend him to anyone..

Fast forward to my latest set also made by Cascade. First, I feel compelled to remind myself and others that just because I have been an adherent of the WIT (Whatever It Takes) method of customer service for many years, it does not mean all others are! The latest set of dentures have never fit well, and the suggested solution was to use an adhesive. In all the years of wearing prosthetic teeth, NEVER have I had to resort to gluing them in.

He is so kind, patient, friendly so positive and is always genuinely happy to see you. He is extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to educate you, and explain where your teeth are in the journey. He has the biggest heart and truly wants all of his patients to be successful in their orthodontic journey. Dr. Peterson is also a perfectionist when it comes to the end result of your orthodontic journey. He wants your teeth to be perfect, and in my experience good enough wasn't good enough...they had to be perfect. I love all the little extra thoughtful touches that his office provides you like Chapstick, chew sticks (which help lock Invisalign in place) and they even send you a birthday card with a free coffee coupon. Dr. Peterson and his office staff go above and beyond and if you are searching for the best Orthodontist in Douglas County, look no further. I would highly recommend Current Orthodontics

They have two hygienists so we were able to have our appts at the same time. My daughter really liked her hygienist Kelly and Shaylene ( sorry if I got this wrong) was good as well. The Dr. Wilson has a great bedside manner and was very personable. He was great and informative about what was going on in our mouths. My daughter's insurance is out of network. When I offered to call the insurance, They were very kind and offered to call on my behalf. My daughter has to go back to have some fillings done and she's not afraid of the dentist anymore. Pretty reasonable; cleaning, exam and xrays $175.

The negative is they supposedly checked my insurance and I paid my half (due to out of network) the same day. Two months later I get a bill for another $681.41. They obviously didn't call. Do yourself a favor and check with your insurance yourself. It's a very assembly line sort of place. Get you in, get your money and get you out as quick as possible. On a side note my tooth is still very sensitive.
