    I have been going to this office for almost two years now and it's always a great experience. The…read moreoffice is calming and comfortable, the staff is excellent, and the dental care is top notch. Loved my take home bag and great view!

    RUN- AVOID THIS "BUTCHER" AT ALL COST- Destroyed My Life in One Visit…read more Infection, Permanent brain Nerve & Vision Damage, Front Teeth Loss, Fraud, and a Lifetime of Pain from a First Time Visit I wish I could give zero stars. As an Ivy League MBA with a successful career, my life was shattered in ONE visit to Dr. John Holt Jr. This "father-son" practice (dad quietly returned to retirement after baiting reviews) is a deceptive trap: Sparse office open 3 days/week, marketed as experienced but run by a 1-year nepo newbie doing restoratives 2 days/week. They bribe other dentists for referrals and pursue direct mailing to target local victims. Went in on June 23, 2025 for EMERGENCY fix on a single chipped front tooth. This inexperienced dentist (in his 20s, less than 1 year doing crowns) aggressively pressured me for a bridge, full mouth exam which I declined. This aggressive, arrogant, rushed "provider" ignored everything, pressured me into crowning BOTH front teeth (despite the adjacent one being healthy and essential for eating), and turned a quick visit into irreversible horror. Botched anesthesia: John Holt Jr. used epinephrine anesthetic contraindicated for heart conditions. Reckless drilling: Aggressively removed sound filling from healthy tooth, cut gum without consent, no disinfection or core buildup (confirmed by other dentists), damaged nerve, refused to disinfect the area, and ground my teeth to tiny stubs--left bacteria, causing infection. Rushed work: He injected without numbing my gum (I screamed in pain). One oversized temp crown for BOTH teeth. Fraud billing: Overcharged co-pay (claimed 40% vs. 50% coverage which I corrected him twice). Billed undone core buildup/incomplete crown work. Only pre-X-ray submitted--no proof (No post crown prep X-ray) Weeks after I informed him by email that I would not be returning, the Delta Dental supervisor contacted John Holt Jr. twice to request the refund. He falsely claimed he was still waiting for me to come back to complete the crown work and refused to return the overpayment. He ignored my request for antibiotics on day one. Instead of evaluating my pain, he forced ill-fitting crowns and pushed on my injured teeth, told me "crowns don't have to touch the gum" - a dangerous lie that invites infection. When he caused the intolerable pain shooting up to my head, he accused me of "wasting his dental glue" and kicked me out with exposed teeth, and pushed me to "come back and do it all over again." Despite my email begging for one amid escalating nerve pain and symptoms, John Holt Jr. Refused to provide an endodontist referral, and lied in notes. Delta Dental confirmed the single temporary crown for two teeth and overcharged co-pay are fraudulent. Result: * Lost two front teeth * Near Blindness in one eye with blurred vision and constant pain, 24/7 unbearable headaches * Nerve damage, dizziness, light/sound sensitivity, confusion, can't type as eye hand coordination is off or walk straight * Live in a dark room, can't eat or work * Disfigured & isolated, even have to wear mask when getting mail Delta has investigated/recovered funds, but the damage is done--I'm pursuing the Oregon Board of Dentistry for license review. Stay far away - John Holt Jr. is dangerous.

    My husband had been funneled into Dr. Dose's care after his Dr. Kimbrel retired a few years ago…read more Recently, my own dentist in West Linn retired and I had trouble clicking with the new dentist at that office. I'm squeamish about novocaine shots, and have trouble with the pain of the pre-dental-work injections with panic and overactive reflexes. My husband invited me to try the services of his Dr. Dose, and I agreed. The gal in the front office was a long-time acquaintance of my husband, and she was very kind to me. With trepidation, I scheduled a date for some replacement fillings, and after a "meet and greet" with Dr. Dose and his team, I felt more comfortable with my dreaded date of service. My husband accompanied me for support, and the team took special care with my fears of pain and panic. Before long, I was numbed up without a lot of fanfare, and the work was done very well, with some hand-holding, and for a fair price. I don't need a lot of dental work, but I will no longer procrastinate going to the dentist because of the positive experience I had in Dr. Dose's chair. Thank you! LJ

    Dr. Dose is a very talented and professional dentist, my issue was with the front office. I went…read morehere for years and decided to stop going because of the greedy business practices. I am a student, and when I needed to get lots of work done, I was required to pay the FULL amount up front, including what my insurance would be covering. When my insurance paid them, they KEPT MY MONEY as "credit" for future appointments. The crazy part was, the credit apparently can expire? It was very frustrating but I didn't know any better being young at the time. Before this I had asked if there were payment plan options, I was met with a horrified look as if I were trying to steal! I have parted ways with this clinic and since going to other clinics I realized how unfair and strange this whole situation was :( I was offered many options for payment plans at my new office as this is a very normal practice especially for students who are trying to make ends meet without compromising their dental health. Nicholas is a wonderful dentist, and I hope he makes some changes with his office because it all felt very unwelcoming and classist. I should have moved on right when they told me they were keeping my money, but I truly didn't know any better at the time.
