TenderCare Dental

I’ve seen both Dr. Thompson and Dr. Seeger for checkups and fillings. All dental assistants and office staff were great! They were on schedule, didn’t try to sell me stuff that I didn’t need but made sure I had good information to make a decision. They were also up front about pricing since I was paying out of pocket for the work to be done. Very clean office too! I felt comfortable and safe at both locations. Great work! I will be booking my return visits soon. Thank you for a great experience.
Make sure you grab their lip balm on the way out, it’s the best I’ve ever tried!

I wrote contracts for 10+ years, so I ask LOTS of questions before I sign anything. Denise at TenderCare was very patient with me as I filled in the many forms required for my visit. Mostly I went there to ask the dentist some questions about how to improve the appearance of my teeth without going through the hassle of braces. My approach to my visit seemed to challenge the staff’s set routine for processing clients, but all was well in the end and I felt very good about my experience.
Dr. Thompson was respectful and efficient. The office has a nice ambiance, too – for an office, that is.
I should note that I don’t fear dentists. I think TenderCare specializes in services for people who do. After my visit I can say that they also deal well with patients who are just generally pains in the ass, too!

I absolutely agree with Scott’s 5-​star review. To start off, I hadn’t been to a dentist in 8 years out of complete fear due to a traumatic childhood experience. Just the thought of hearing the drill would turn my stomach. The time came a few months ago when the pain was no longer bearable. Aside from the pain, I also had developed an infection and since I was pregnant I had to address the issue to prevent any complications.
I made my initial appointment at a dental center in Beaverton. I wasn’t impressed at all! Not only did they not show any concern for the amount of anxiety I had but I didn’t feel any type of patient/​care provider connection. Not saying I need a hug but a little compassion for my situation and fears isn’t too much to ask. Especially for the price! Needless to say, I did not go back there.
After a few more days in denial (and pain) I called up TenderCare to see if they could get me in that week. I immediately felt comfortable there. The staff is amazing. Caring, compassionate, and extremely polite. Dr. Thompson immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He listened to my concerns and understood my anxieties. He created a treatment plan that wasn’t overwhelming for me and took extra time to explain exactly what was going on and what to expect as far as the vibrations/​sounds/​sensations I’d be feeling throughout the procedure. Several times throughout the procedure he offered to take a break so I could catch my breath. The assistant was there to help calm my nerves and even let me squeeze the you-​know-​what out of her hand. I felt zero pain throughout any of the procedures (and I’m a big baby!!) and no discomfort afterwards either.
I’ve been back several times to have work done. I NEVER thought I’d be able to walk into a dental office without anxiety. I was so impressed with Dr. Thompson and his staff that I have taken my children there as well. They love ‘Dr. Andy’ and have asked me to take them back there to see him again. Weird, right? I agree but it just goes to show his ability to connect with patients of all ages. Their prices are totally reasonable (even offer financing!) and the care they provide is exceptional. An exam, root canal w/​crown, and 1 extraction later I would give this office nothing less than 5 stars! So happy I called them.
So, if your mouth is stinking, tooth is aching, decay has crept in or you just need a good cleaning, call them up!
P.S — ‘Dr. Andy’s’ wife, Dr. Seeger is also located at this office. My daughter went in for a filling and although she wasn’t having any of it (5 y/​o and very cautious) Dr. Seeger did an amazing job connecting with her and respecting my daughters nervous behavior.

This excellent dental center is run by a team of married dentists: Mari Seeger and Andrew Thompson. Both dentists are very skilled, professional, and personable. Mari and Andrew also have experience in things like root canals and extractions so you don’t have to be referred to a specialist.
The office itself is very clean and comfortable. Tendercare also has most all of the latest dental technology. They also have TV glasses so you can enjoy television while you’re getting your teeth worked on.
The administrative staff at Tendercare is excellent. Your insurance claims are courteously and promptly handled. Dental assistant Tracy and hygienist Renae are superb.
Haven’t experienced pain in my mouth or in my pocket book since I’ve been attending Tendercare Dental Center on Saltzman Road. Thanks to Tendercare I no longer dread going to the dentist.
