I had an emergency and they took me in right away. I was very pleased with the professionalism of the entire staff. My emergency precipitated a root canal which they perform next day. Dr. Knight, his assistant Cayla and the entire staff were wonderful, respectful and highly professional. I can't speak more highly for a Dental office! read more

Sitting in the parking lot, 5 min before my very first appt and I almost turned around and left. I popped open Yelp and saw some pretty scathing reviews & I panicked. I decided to take a deep breath & try them anyway. I am SO glad I did. It all started before I even got there - Alyssa (front desk/receptionist) was so communicative about my insurance benefits & offered options to make it possible to get the services I needed. Upon arrival I was greeted by & got X-rays from such a sweet, hilarious & very knowledgeable tech named Hallie. They constantly asked about comfort & gave options for how to be cared for. I was extra nervous to meet Dr.Knight, based on previously mentioned reviews... to my delight he was awesome. He communicated clearly, was kind, told some pretty funny/dry Dad jokes that put me at ease. He was present & answered all of my questions. On to my cleaning with Erik - who's done this for 10 yrs & it showed through their patience, communication & tenderness during the whole experience. Jokes were told, consistent checking in with what I needed & just the right amount of silence truly made me sooooo glad I listened to my gut, to give this place a chance. I'm so happy with the experience and hope you give them a chance too! read more

I gave this office a 5 star review when it was Dr Morrow. Dr Knight, however is a shister. I immediately got a shady feeling from him after Dr Morrow left but brushed it off due to my naturally cynical look on things. Fast forward a couple years and he tells me that I have SEVEN cavities that need to be filled immediately. What a coincidence they are the same teeth that I declined cosmetic treatment on (aka not necessary, just vanity) due to high cost. After the seven cavity diagnosis I decided to get a second opinion. New dentist (Moreland Neighborhood Dentist-highly recommend) said I had two MINOR cavities. They were both filled without ANY numbing substance at all. Dr knight on the other hand told me the dental work would be so extensive that if I didn't break it up into multiple visits my entire lower jaw would be rendered useless and for a couple hours I wouldn't be able to talk?!? Wtf??? Avoid this money hungry shister at all costs (pun intended)! read more

I hate to say I agree with the reviewer who says that this office is not what it used to be after it changed doctors. For me, who doesn't experience much anxiety around dental work, the change was fine. Not great but fine. However, I am appalled by how the doctor treated my husband who does experience anxiety about dental work. Dr. Marrow, the previous doctor, was great about it and would prescribe anti-anxiety meds when necessary. When my husband asked his hygienist if Dr. Knight treated dental-related anxiety in a similar manner she answered "Dr. Knight does not believe in that." And later, when talking to my grown-adult-man of a husband, he was super condescending and told him coming to the dentist is like any other responsibility, like making your bed in the morning, you just have to do it. His attitude toward anxiety is ableist, condescending, and if I am perfectly honest, laughable. "Oh, you don't believe in treating anxiety and it IS just like making the bed, thanks doctor! All cured." Giving them two stars because I will say I LOVE my (now former) hygienist. She was so great and accommodating. Always making sure I was comfortable and a cool person to boot. read more

Mount Tabor Dental is the absolute best. Dr. Morrow and his team are prompt, kind, SO pleasant, and they all really seem to care about their patients. Last time I was in, my hygienist Nichole recommended a really wonderful floss that is a thousand times better and more comfortable than any floss I've ever used and has changed my flossing game totally (though I still don't do it as much as I should.... sorry Nichole lol). The ladies behind the front desk are wonderful. The office is sparkling clean, bathroom is stocked with all necessities (and also just nice thoughtful touches like hand lotion), and it's SO cute and decked out for the holidays right now. Just a really wonderful clinic atmosphere with really great people giving excellent care! I called yesterday with a tiny, but very sharp and annoying chip in a tooth, and they were able to fit me in today for a quick visit to smooth the edges before the holiday so I didn't have to deal with the discomfort while I was out-of-state! It was driving me absolutely nuts and I am SO very grateful. I just love these guys. Like enough to review my dentist twice LOL. You should go see them! read more

Mt. Tabor Dental - Dr Morrow and Mila and I are about to drop the hottest trap album 2019 has ever seen and this is obviously our album cover - General Dentistry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I don't do dentists. I had a very traumatic experience 25 years ago and have had years of therapy to try to get into that dreaded chair, and I've been to countless dentist intro exams over the years to try to find one that can meet me where I'm at to help me get the care I need. The only dental care I've had is emergency extractions under full anesthesia, anything less than that caused panic attacks and increased trauma. Thanks to recommendations from friends with similar trauma, I finally found Mt Tabor Dental. Dr Knight and his team truly listen to me, I feel in control and have been able to make it through numerous procedures I never dreamed possible without full anesthesia. I'm so grateful for their help in finally tackling my greatest fear!! read more

I had a bizarre experience with Dr. Joseph Knight at Mount Tabor Dental at the end of 2023. Dr. Knight was very unprofessional and rude. He seemed really disconnected during my check up and every time I asked him a question he got defensive and seemed annoyed with me. In the middle of our conversation he got up and walked out of the room, and I never saw him again. The dental assistant acted like this was normal behavior and went on with the dental cleaning. I then had to ask her more questions to get any information about my teeth. Everything felt rushed and the staff assumed that I would agree to an expensive procedure with barely any explanation from them. The doctor disrespected me, didn't answer all of my questions and literally left the room without saying goodbye. I deserve better treatment than that. Dr. Knight needs sensitivity training and to learn some basic communication skills. This experience was a complete waste of my time and now I have to start all over at another dental office. read more

This office used to have a great dentist (hence all the 5-star reviews) named Dr. Morrow. When I returned for my first appointment post-COVID, he'd been replaced by Dr. Knight. Please, do yourself a favor and DO NOT use this dentist. I was appalled by how unprofessional he is. He laughed off my anxiety, misdiagnosed my problem, and actually caused me a great deal more harm than good (I ended up needing a root canal that I would not have needed had I seen a dentist who took care of the issue when I came in for it). Not only that, he actually called me on the phone saying he had "lost trust in me" as a patient because according to him the front desk told him I had threatened to sue...which I definitely did not...what in the world!? Beyond weird. If you have dental anxiety, like being treated with basic kindness, or need something fixed fast, avoid this place. read more

I have spent a lot of time in a dental chair in my life; this was the best experience with a dentist I have ever had. Dr. Morrow and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable while they worked their magic. From coffee and La Croix in the lobby to a beautiful garden view from the dental chair, I had never seen a dental practice quite like it. Milynn and Josh, Dr. Morrow's assistants, were both friendly, calm, and accommodating. Dr. Morrow is a real pro. He is everything you hope for in a dentist. He is gentle, he is kind, he explains everything clearly, and above all, it is clear that Dr. Morrow holds himself and his work to the highest possible standards. Dr. Morrow's commitment to quality work would have been enough for me to walk away satisfied. The Mt. Tabor team's mastery of the patient experience has made me question whether I could ever go anywhere else. read more

I really miss the previous dentist, Dr. Morrow. He was absolutely outstanding - kind, gentle, and put me at ease during each and every visit. The new dentist Dr. Knight needs some serious work on his bedside manner. He comes off as glib and dismissive, which is really sad because I think he is a nice guy and does care about his patients. But I was frankly glad when my insurance changed and no longer covers this place, because I'd like to find someone more like Dr. Morrow. Dr. Morrow, if you're reading this, come back to dentistry - we need you!!! I'm giving 3 stars because the staff, hygienists, and admin are still excellent. Milynn (sp) in particular is exceptional at intuiting her patients' needs in the middle of long procedures. That's a real talent that cannot be overstated. read more

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my experience at Mt. Tabor Dental. I just moved to Portland a few months ago and finding a dentist in a new city can be such a gamble. I was referred to Mt Tabor from a friend and have been very impressed with this office. The office got me into an appointment immediately. I had to have a crown replaced. Dr. Marrow was very friendly, gentle, thorough and used scented gloves that smelled like grapes. It was a nice touch. ;-) Afterwards, his office staff sent me home with little bags of ibuprofen and aspirin for the pain. Staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. All the small amounts of customer service and appreciation that is needed to make a good impression were there. I'm happy to be a new patient! read more

Had a root canal performed by Dr. Morrow recently and was incredibly surprised at how painless it was! Outside of the initial numbing injections, I didn't need any pain medication whatsoever -- not even tylenol -- and was back to eating regularly within 8 hours. For anyone who fears procedures like root canals, I can't recommend Mt Tabor Dental any more highly. read more

Easily the best dentist I've ever been to. Absolutely no other dentist's office has compared to the level of care I get going to Mount Tabor Dental. Carole at the front desk is awesome! So nice and helpful and super friendly! Jenni always has a bit of insight with my insurance or treatment plan. Lisa does her best at making teeth cleaning almost enjoyable! She also is always happy to answer any questions I have about self care. And last but not least, Dr. Morrow is just amazing. I can't even tell you how confident I am to have my dental care in the capable hands of this thorough and caring dentist! Thank you Mount Tabor Dental! read more

My Husband and I have had very bad luck trying to find a dentist office we're comfortable with and have been to very many! We found this one and decided to give them a shot based on their amazing reviews. We've never felt more comfortable at a dental office! Their entire staff is so patient, kind and gentle and I can't say enough wonderful things about them! They listened to all of our concerns and respected our strong opinions to a tee! There is even a beautiful atrium the staff made so there is something beautiful to look at during your visit! You can really feel the great energy in their office and tell that this team loves what they do, I highly recommend their office! read more

Mt. Tabor dental has been my favorite dental/cleaning office for over 5 years now. I can't say enough good things for Dr. Morrow's expertise and his excellent dental hygienist. In particular I'd like to thank dental hygienist Asfala for doing such an excellent job for my last few visits and providing me with great dental advice and follow up results. Asfala really makes the whole cleaning process smooth and enjoyable...not something I was used to in the past at other dental offices. My hat off to you Dr. Morrow's and your excellent staff. read more

I had an experience that was not the best and Dr. Morrow reached out to me personally and apologized and explained the situation to make me feel at ease. Very kind and thoughtful dentist! read more

Going to the dentist isn't exactly a great time, especially if something has gone wrong and you are in pain. Dr. Morrow's staff from Abby to Milynn they are nothing short of being professional and so kind to my needs. Dr. Morrow will now handle my entire families dental needs. A lot of doctors these days have lost the ability to listen to their patients needs. He really has treating patients well down to a science. I can't recommend this office more. read more

Had to find a new dentist when I moved to Portland and am so glad I found Mt. Tabor dental! Highly recommend!

I have had anxiety about going to the dentist for years and thus have avoided it for years. The staff here was beyond welcoming and helped me understand that my dental issues were not a source of underbrushing. Denise was incredible and Dr. Marrow was beyond friendly and so easy to work with. Can't wait to go back! read more

Dr. Beck and staff are great. Modern technology mixed with friendly informed guidance on how to take care of my teeth.

I had my first appointment with Tabor Dental today and I am so happy to have finally found a new dentist that I want to go back to. Dr.Morrow and his staff were very nice and took their time listening and making sure I was comfortable. Great experience! Would recommend them to anyone. read more

I bought a group-on for a dental exam, x-rays and bleach kit. I went in for the exam to find out that they recommened a deep cleaning and I needed 3 cavitys filled.They had also told me I had "Deep Pockets". That bill came to $1800, which for me is WAY to expensive! I dont have insurance or that kind of money so I went to my school(MT Hood Community College dental program) and made a appointment. I got the deep cleaning done for $35. When I asked about the cavity's, they said I had NONE. I also asked about my "deep pockets" and they said they had NOT found deep pockets as Dr, Beck did....HMMMM? I also talked to a few people who had went to Dr Beck and they gave me huge money stories and horror stories as well. I beleive this office is MONEY HUNGRY and tells you that you need things that are NOT needed. PLEASE, save your money and dont go to this SCAM ARTIST!!!!! read more

I love my dentist. Have ben going there for for several years now and I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. The review claiming that they are all about money is garbage. I actally have two teeth that I I felt needed filling but was talked out of that work being done by Dr. Beck and his staff. I have ben treated with nothing but respect since being a pt. I have been treated very courtiously and respectfully even when I didn't pay my bill quite on time. I would recommend this dentist and staff to anyone who has fears of going to the dentist also. They do a great job at putting your mind at ease. I could go on but I hate reading long reviews. The point is you should give them a try. They're not on my preferred provider list but I go there anyway. Does that tell you enough? Go there! read more

This team is happy, gentle, kind and through. The place is clean and comfortable. Easy to find and they are super punctual. Literally everything I could ever want in a dentist. read more

Have been going to Dr. Beck for years. Friendly, approachable staff, great advice and welcoming to all communities. Would strongly recommend anyone needing a dentist or a change of dentist check out Mt. Tabor dental. read more

This is the only dentist office I've used, in my adult years. So I guess I don't have much to compare them to. I felt compelled to add my two cents after seeing some of the harsh reviews here (including some in the "not recommended" section). I've never encountered any shenanigans at Mt Tabor. If they're recommending unnecessary work, I certainly haven't been a victim. I think in the last 5 years I've had one filling, and I think I paid three-hundred-something for it. So no, this place isn't a racket trying to get at your money. Info from OHSU regarding previous owner Todd Beck: "...has affiliate faculty appointments in the Departments of Restorative Dentistry and Community Dentistry at the OHSU School of Dentistry. He serves as Chair for the Dental Health and Wellbeing Committee for the Oregon Dental Association and is on the Board of Directors for Multnomah Dental Society." Doesn't sound like a charlatan to me. And when he partnered with Jacob Morrow, I have to assume he didn't put his reputation on the line by bringing a charlatan into his practice. So yeah, I trust Mt Tabor to take care of me. I'm sure they make a nice profit, but I see no evidence they're trying to stick it to anybody. Dr. Morrow's demeanor is good. He inspires confidence. I haven't had any work done by him yet (and hopefully won't for a long long time), but when the time comes I suspect I'll be glad he's the one doing the work. Insider tip: I've been told by somebody who works in the field that Dr Morrow is meticulous and conservative. If there's any question as to the best course of action, he'll preserve as much tooth as possible. That's just one opinion, but my source has demonstrated they can be trusted. One reservation: I was a bit disappointed in the lack of transparency when the practice was sold. Oh, almost forgot to mention, they updated the waiting area last year, if that matters to you. It was pretty awful before. Gone are the ugly uncomfortable chairs. Much more welcoming now. read more

Had such a great experience here. I hadn't been to a dentist in 3 years and everybody was very friendly and accommodating. The dental hygienist was super thorough and explained everything she was doing. I'm excited to go back :} read more

Such a genuine, detail-oriented first time exam! The office staff were welcoming and helped answer all of my questions about their in-house Tabor Smiles Dental Savings Plan which is such a great value as an alternative to unaffordable dental insurance through employers. The hygienist, Denise, was friendly, attentive and thorough about everything from all of the new patient intake questions to the cleaning. It is the first time in years that I feel like I left the dentist with cleaner teeth! Dr. Morrow was great too and gave 100% of his focus and time even though the office was getting busy. He had helpful feedback on preventative care and took care of a rough patch of sealant that had separated from my back molar, smoothing it out in no time. The office atmosphere is peaceful, hygienic, and happy. Everyone and everything about this visit went above and beyond my expectations! read more

Yikes! Sounds like many previous reviewers have had a similar experience. I went in with a Groupon. They told me I had gingivitis and needed a deep cleaning...it was going to cost roughly $1,600...and as someone who doesn't have dental insurance, I decided to ask around. Turns out that I absolutely didn't need a deep cleaning and that it was essentially a scam to drum up business. When I got a second opinion all I needed was a regular cleaning and barely that. Taking advantage of the doctor patient trust is serious in my opinion. What if your doctor told you you had cancer and you had to pay him $20,000 to get rid of it? If you later found out that you didn't, how would you feel? Sorta defeats the purpose of consulting a professional if they lie through their teeth to you (pun intended). Beware...you can't trust these people... read more

Who writes a review while still recovering from a wisdom tooth extraction? I do, because truth is, when Dr. Beck left Mt. Tabor Dental, I really missed having him as my dentist. I figured nobody could replace the guy. But Dr. Morrow has somehow pulled it off. First, when one of my daughter's teeth was a bit discolored, he fit her in that day for a quick look, discovered it just needed polishing (and she needed to be using the SonicCare!), polished away the discoloring, and then sent us off--no charge. Then today I had to get a wisdom tooth pulled. I was super nervous. He told me exactly what to expect at each point and was done in probably 20 minutes. His assistant, Kaitlinn, was equally great. As are the folks at the front desk. And Diane, my usual hygienist there is amazing. And in spite of all the people they see, it feels like they know you when you come in. Can't recommend this place more! read more

I've had such good experiences at Mt Tabor Dental. They are so great that even though I live in Hawaii, i still get my dental worl done here whenever im in town visiting family. The entire staff is so friendly. They instantly made me feel like I had known all of them for years. It's so obvious that Dr Morrow and his staff truely care about each and every patient. read more

Have been a patient now almost 5 years and I never cease to be impressed with Dr. Beck and his staff's commitment to delivering the best care possible. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly yet very professional. You will be hard pressed to find this level of care at other practices. read more

Love this place, yes they have a very cute dog in waiting area. Place is clean, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.

Dr. Beck isa caring, compassionate dentist. He is gentle and generous. Not only does he run a great practice, he also volunteers his time to teach future professionals at OHSU School of Dentistry, and he volunteers his services to uninsured, underprivelaged patients with Medical Teams International. I couldn't recommend a better place or a better dentist! read more

My entire family has been at this office for years, and we have recommended many friends. Great customer service and dental care.

There aren't enough stars in the world to show how grateful I am to Dr Morrow. He's amazing. Helped me with an out of hours cosmetic emergency (ah yes u know that sounds odd but it was!) I'll never go to another Dentist in Portland. read more

Okay, so I'm 30 years old, and before this morning, I hadn't been to a dentist in.... over 10 years. Yikes. I have a whole list of excuses, but yeah, it's hard to get over the fear of going back to the dentist after such a long absence. Turns out a toothache at 4am and the accompanying thought that you're going to suffer imminent death by tooth decay is enough to overcome that fear, so this morning I called and left messages with four nearby dental offices. Mt. Tabor is the only one that called me back, and when I explained that I was worried about some tooth pain, they said they could squeeze me in an hour later! Yay! My appointment started exactly on time, and less than 10 minutes after sitting down, I'd already been x-rayed and had the doctor tapping on my teeth. I was out the door less than 20 minutes after I got there, with the great news that the toothache is being caused by sinus pressure (yay!). I scheduled a full new-patient appointment for next month, and I'm so relieved to know that I'm finally acting like a grownup and taking care of my teeth. The visit was very reasonable ($75 including 2 x-rays), I was thrilled by how efficient it all was, and the exam room was much more pleasant than what I remember from dentists offices when I was a teenager. read more

Fantastic customer service, friendly staff, prompt service, and Dr. Morrow is really down to earth and nobody tries to up-sell you ridiculous amounts of services. Oh, and their chairs vibrate, so there's that. Well, they can, it's not like a malfunction thing...they have massage mats on them. Anyway, yeah, and their dental plan for people without dental coverage is very reasonable. Check them out. You'll be glad you did. read more

Approximately once a month I receive ads in my mailbox from Mt. Tabor Dental. I've called them a couple of times and asked to be removed from their mailing list. Despite the fact that *their* office initiates these mailings they say, "Sorry - we can't do anything about it." I dislike the repeat junk mail in my mailbox. Those are (were) trees. Let 'em live and stop turning them into junk mail with my name on them. read more

I have been quite happy with Dr. Morrow's work. He is thorough, professional and efficient. I have had some substantial work done, and feel that it has all gone smoothly and economically. I have had emergency work done - on weekends; I have had to cancel appointments, and work out payment plans - all the while the office has been very flexible. Since taking over the practice in 2014, Dr. Morrow has been diligently building a solid reputation as a good craftsperson with a fair sense of responsibility to patients and business practices. read more
