Aspen Dental

Haters gonna hate. Aspen dental clackamas is a great office! The staff is friendly and creates a comfortable environment. Dr. Brady is extremely personable and explained my treatment plan in a way I could understand that was not reaching for high dollar amount. Definitely recommend!

Please, don’t go here! It is definitely set up like a used-​car dealership. I was glad they got me in last minute (and didn’t charge for the exam because I didn’t have insurance) but after the dentist looked at my teeth the business manager took me to her office and explained I had 10 cavities and needed a crown, plus they were going to include a 2-​visit cleaning session and an electric toothbrush. .. quoting me a cost of $ 3,500! The next week (after my pain cleared up) I went in to see my old dentist who also took x-​rays and said my teeth looked great – NO cavities and no real need for cleaning even! (The pain, I guess, was due to stress grinding, and it went away on its own).
Aspen Dental is a PREDATORY practice and they capitalize on people who are in pain and worried about finances. I already complained to the BBB!

I normally Hate going to the dentist, as does everyone I’m sure, but becaues I have had painful experiences in the past I was nervous and sure I’d by emberassed by how many cavities I had.
However, I really enjoyed my experience here! Everyone was super friendly, and transparent about costs. I don’t know what the other reviewers are refering to as far as pricing-I’ve done my research and Aspen was BY FAR THE CHEAPEST the for someone who doesn’t have dental insurance.
As far as being a «coropration thatmaximizes profits» I’m prerry sure all buisnesses want to make some type of profits. But I didn’t feel like Aspen was just using me for my money, they were very genuine, kind and considerate and helped me come up with all of both my own and my boyfriends dental needs.
I love everyone here and am actually looking forward to going back for my next visit. If you’re looking for a new dentist, you should definately check this place out!

Well to start off their prices were off the wall! So expensive compared to other dental clinics. This place was a joke. Very pushy about the most expensive option. The doctor wasn’t very nice. I told him how much pain I was in and he said «well you can talk to my assistant». He didn’t talk to me at all after that, he told his assistant what needed to be done then left. The receptionist was the only comforting person there. I will never go back.

I took my mother here because she needed a tooth extracted. She doesn’t have insurance and they said that was fine. They said she’ll be able to get a full exam and X-​rays for free! Lies! I’m not sure what happen when my mother went in but after her exam and she was in billing room and called me in with her. They charged her for a «limited exam» which apparently cost. And said that’s what my mother wanted. Wtf?! Ok yeah like who in the right mind would choose an exam they had to pay for over a free one?! Since it was already done I had no choice but to pay for it. I was pissed how they mislead us and took advantage of my mother who doesn’t understand English that well.
We had to come in the next day since she had to get her tooth extract. I went in with her in the beginning and the assistant who took her blood pressure didn’t start the machine and my mother was sitting there with the machine on her wrist over her chest for ten minutes. When Dr. Kremer came in and we told her. She seemed all bitchy about because she grabbed my mom’s hand, removed the blood pressure machine and strapped the machine back on her wrist and forcefully push my mom’s arm on her chest. I was appalled how she was forcing my mom in that way like my mother was a child. It’s not my mother’s fault your machine didn’t work! After this experience I’m never coming back here. All for profit and all fake smiles and services here. STAY AWAY!
My mother said the doctor was really rude to her during the procedure. Numbed her up and didn’t even talk to her to let her know how long she needed to wait. The doctor walked right out after numbing her. After the procedure, they didn’t bothered on giving my mother extra cotton or any tissue to help with the blood or saliva. There was no CARE my mother as her patient. We payed full price for everything and these people didn’t even bother on making us feel welcomed other than our wallets! Horrible.

The people here were quite wonderful and very helpful to me. I had lost my dentures and needed to have them replaced quickly to attend an upcoming job interview as a translator Julie (office manager) was even able to make an affordable payment arrangement with me. But more than that, the service was wonderful and rarely have I encountered such dedicated professionalism in any field. I definitely recommend the Happy Valley Aspen Dental as the best dental experience I. have ever had. The dentist, (Dr. Kremer) was very skillful and provided excellent care. I am checking in at the Happy Valley Aspen Dental now to ask Julie for a DNA sample, because through cloning her, the world will be a better place. That really goes for everyone there. So, bring your teeth, or ask for some like I did. Either way, you will not be disappointed, unless you go somewhere else.

My dental plan changed recently, and I was assigned to Aspen Dental office, Happy Valley branch. So I made an appointment to get the routine first-​visit stuff done. This is a new, clean, and modern facility designed for one very specific purpose– to maximize profits for it’s investors.
I got the feeling that they are set up like a car lot where they first qualify you on your spending capacity, and then sell tie-​ins, expensive warranties, and paint protection treatments. I have healthy teeth and good oral hygiene, and this doesn’t sit very well with their model of dental practice. I was told by the dental assistant that I needed this expensive dental cream that only they sell to protect the enamel on my teeth. The dentist on duty then visited with me briefly, but made no genuine attempt to get to know me, or to know my lifestyle. She did however discover two teeth that needed crows immediately. I was then ushered to the business manager who started to print elaborate pricing sheets for future treatments, and resisted my simple question of what do I owe for this visit.
I am not going back there. I recommend the same to the reader. Find a non-​corporate local dentist who has a good reputation. Ask around, and do a «get-​to-​know-​them» office visit. Walk away if you feel their hand in your pocket! Please also see Aspen Dental’s reviews online, including a story by PBS called Patients, Pressure & Profits.
