Christina Blatchford, DMD

After an accident in August, aka The Great Fall of 2013, I found myself in a most horrific dental predicament, and my regular dentist could not fit me in for over a week. I like him, but I could not wait that long, the situation was too painful.
My boss referred me to Dr. Blatchford and I’m so glad she did. My experience there was five star start to finish, from the website, to scheduling, to reception, to treatment. I even got a follow up call to check in, plus a call from a surgeon she referred me to.
After a great run with my long time dentist, I will be making the change for future dental needs. The office itself is welcoming and bright. My chompers and I look forward to the next visit.

Christina Blatchford is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. I was actually a little offended reading some of these ridiculous reviews. I wasn’t aware that calling a patient the next day to see how they’re feeling is a marketing scheme? In my world that’s called patient care, and it won huge points with me. Plus it IS your responsibility to know what your insurance covers, and you shouldn’t have procedures done without checking first.
After being treated by Dr. Blatchford for almost 3 years now, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She has given me exceptional dental care, including referring me to a great orthodontist for myself and my daughter. I was terrified when I first started getting dental work again because I knew I had a lot to complete. But from the start Dr. Blatchford was kind, professional, and goes above and beyond to make patients comfortable and keeps them pain free. She has personally called me after every procedure just to make sure I’m doing well. I’ve never had this experience before with a dentist or physician and it really makes you feel like you’re not just another patient.
Her staff is wonderful and every time I get a cleaning or routine check up they make me feel like I’m a part of their family. I would highly recommend Dr. Christina Blatchford and her staff.

avoid this place or get a second opinion. I used a coupon and still paid a lot, overly friendly staff that asked me loaded questions. Lame cleaning with a waterpick and pushy doctor… My estimate for work was over 5900 $!!! My old dentist checked me after that and said the work was unnecessary. What a scam!

This seemed like the perfect place for me and my daughter. The office was nice and seemed very professional. So I made a appointment for a cleaning. I was a little upset at the appointment because I didn’t want X-​rays (not a big fan of X-​rays) and I was told I wouldn’t be able to have my teeth cleaned without them. So I went ahead and allowed them. So now I get a letter from my dental insurance and apparently I was given X-​rays that are considered major and I wasn’t covered under my plan, and the cleaning they gave me was not a basic cleaning and I am not covered for that either. Now keep in mind my insurance covers basic cleaning and basic X-​rays. So because of the upgrades at my appointment, I am stuck with a bill for 297.00 dollars! I promptly call the dental office and I am told It is in their notes that I was informed of all this and agreed! Well, after rather rudely being told I should be more familiar with my ins plan in which I said I do know I get free cleanings and X-​rays, I got nowhere with these people! And to top things off, I get a letter today from the dentist saying they don’t think I’m a good fit for them and they are severing my doctor patient relationship! Seriously? I call and question my treatment and that’s how they respond? So my suggestion is Stay Away from this place!

I would like say this dentist office has surpassed any expectation I had. From the warm greeting that Jill gives, to the great bedside manner of Laurie, and the great warmth of dr. Blatchford… this office is so welcoming. They explained all my options for some procedures and even worked a payment plan. Thank you!

My visit to this dentist office is the worst dental experience I’ve ever had. First I was bombarded with questions about what I do, where I live, why I moved here and spent a good 20 minutes not even talking about my teeth. Things got progressively worse, Christina Blachford told me I needed about $ 10,000 worth of dental work which included 11 fillings, 2 crowns and some other procedures. When I tried to ask which teeth were more at risk and needed to be filled first I was given no answer except you should start on the right side. I am young with fairly healthy teeth and left the office horrified and in tears. I went back to my old dentist who assured me the dental work that had been recommended was outrageous and unnecessary. I will never return to this office again

I have had several services completed at Dr Blatchford’s office and have founf them to be very competant and professional. The staff is friendly and helpful and make every visit easy and efficient. Dr Blatchford explains all procedures and always answers all of my questions. I feel comfortable and welcome at their office. I highly reccommend them!

Great job! It is always a pleasure getting to see you and your team! Thank you for all of your help. :)

Christina Blatchford took over my dentist’s practice in Milwaukie OR. I was away from the area for a while and visited another dentist in another state, who was excellent.
Upon returning to Oregon, I visited the office that Blatchford had taken over because I didn’t want to expend the energy to seek a new dentist and thought I would give her a try. My experiences comprised of 2 cleanings and 1 filling. They were competently done, but then again, these are fairly routine tasks for a dentist and a hygienist.
What I found odd was that Blatchford called me the day after the filling and left a message to see how I was doing. I have never been called by the dentist, or any health professional, afterward for any reason and the filling was a completely unremarkable event. It came across as a marketing tactic. Consistent with this, the prospective amount of dental work she had identified as wanting to do was more «aggressive» and quite «different» from where I left off with my out-​of-​state dentist — within the previous year, and I see the dentist semiannually.
I liked the dentist who previously owned this Milwaukie OR practice and the relaxed middle-​aged dental and office staff, none of whom are working there. I found the previous practitioner because he was recommended by a relative and we were very happy with the office’s services. On the other hand, I wound up visiting Blatchford’s practice by «default.» At this point, I will be seeking another opinion — and another dentist.
