He cut my mouth at least 6 times and blamed me for moving my tongue around. That has never been a problem in my over 30 years of life. I wasn't moving my tongue and most of the cuts were on the side of my mouth anyway. I was unable to speak or eat properly for a week and a half after my appointment because the pain from the cuts was so horrific. I wasn't able to attend my work meetings because of the pain. BEWARE. I had an awful, haunting, and painful experience. I do not appreciate being blamed for other peoples failures. I do not recommend this place.

Changing to another dentist who is amazing, he had to remove my tooth because it was cracked below the gum line from Dr. Al. My husband who went to him at the same time also had to have a root canal and crown and our new dentist had to remove the same exact tooth that I had to remove. I have not had any further issues after going to the new dentist. Also, I have had many of friends who have had bad experiences with Dr. Al's work. From crowns on infected teeth, resulting in extractions to Dr. Al not even showing up for appointments. He is a much better guitar player than dentist.

I am a rhinologist (a nose doctor) in Salem and Portland. Life is pretty busy for anyone involved…read morein health care anymore. Most dentists do their best to offer dental care to their patients. A few dentists go above and beyond to deliver something more -- often times with no benefit for them. They do this to deliver the highest quality care possible. The problem is, the acts of professionalism and kindness often go un-noticed. Folks will fill out a review if they are angry, but when things go well we are happy to return to our busy lives. This is human nature. So I want to call out an act of professionalism by Dr. Theresa Lindquist. She has repeatedly identified patients with sinusitis and taken the effort to get them treated. My wife is a professor at the OHSU dental school. The students are taught to screen for medical problems, but if any questions arise, they are directed back to their primary care physician. Not with Dr. Lindquist, she gets them in to be seen by the appropriate subspecialist as quickly as possible. Theresa, your patients are grateful. It is nice when the dental and medical communities work together as a team. I believe any patient looking for a compassionate and thorough provider would do well to consider Theresa Lindquist and her team. Douglas Skarada MD Salem + Portland Oregon

This place doesn't even deserve my personal time of writing this review. However, I want to help…read moreothers of not getting into the same trouble I ran into with this so called "dentist" I inherited dr. Lindquist due to my original dentist relocation. I had my regular teeth cleaning routine appointment. At the end of my appointment, she walked in and introduced herself and then briefly looked at my teeth and informed me that I needed a crown and a filling. I didn't had any concerns with the teeth she pointed out. However, I agreed to follow her direction. We set a day and a time. It was a day before my trip to Chicago for two weeks. During my appointment, I was terrified. I never had such an unprofessional and unclean experience. At the very beginning, she was very rough and she was constantly walking out of the room between me and her other patients. I felt brushed off. There were so many mistreatments that I don't want to write about all of them here. In the middle of the appointment while she was out of the room I voiced my concerns to her Technician. The long story short, after many attempts, (she was resizing my crown) the outcome was - an awful crown, not just Aesthetically, it's also big size and cement in between, and I Still can not floss in between. Its also has an open margin to my roots. At the end She couldn't floss herself in between the crown she just placed yet she let me walk out without proper cleaning and big crown. When she was attempting to floss in between, she bruzed my gums and there were a lot of blood, she would wipe the blood out of the floss and then reused the same floss again and again. I was shucked! I couldn't believe it! Its like she was saving her own floss on me. She kept wiping blood and kept flossing again. Then she walked out and I asked her technician to use a new floss for me. And if that wasn't enough, she spilled the water on me and onto the instruments tray, she then grabbed a piece of cloth from the top of the tray, she wiped my mouth, and THE TRAY ON SIDES and placed that same cloth back on the tools that she was using inside of my mouth. She then used tools and wiped them with the same cloth that she just used for my mouth and the tray. I was so terrified that I had to leave to Chicago next day and I was afraid that I will have an infection due to her unsanitizing practices. Sure enough the whole week I had a pain, while out of the state. But to make the matter worse, she inflicted so much pain and pressure in the very beginning of my appointment by attempting to place the tube that was oversized, so than she decided to change on smaller size but by that time I was in so much pain. Due to so much pressure she caused my other crown fell off on second day after seeing her, while in Chicago. I filed a complaint against her with an OREGON BOARD OF DENTISTRY she was found GUILTY in 10 counts of failing testing biological monitoring system on the heat of sterilization. Again, I wouldn't write this review, if she had a heart to fix her problem and now it is my problem. She refused To pay for a new crown and a missing tooth, both of her fault. But that's not it, her administrator Tracy is the rudest person. I asked her to email me my exrays and they won't release them to me. I callled again week after, she said it's not her job and she doesn't know when it can be done. I told her I have been waiting for a week now, but she didn't care. My phone calls got unanswered, literally ignored. All what I was asking for my personal exrays. Please, do yourself a favor, ran from this place if you care about your teeth. Interestingly enough that Reviews that gave her 5 stars (on her website) were written during the investigation. P.S. my review was the first review written here on her name, but as soon as my review was posted immediately someone else (Jennifer) wrote a review with a five starts why not before? Wondering... New update: the review from Jennifer magically disappeared after me mentioning it. What a game!

I have had two knee replacement surgeries so I must maintain my dental hygiene to the maximum because falls and infections are the two leading causes of knee implant failure. I have Dearly LOVED all 7 appointments. Doctor Frankel and Jodie are top professionals. I should know as I have more experiences with dentists in my 69 years of life than most people. I estimate that I have experiences with about 40 dentists in several states. The entire staff is professional, competent, courteous, helpful, friendly, warm and caring.
