I LOVE Terwilliger Dental and ALL the Staff and Dr. Kim!! They are always friendly, caring, flexible, knowledgeable, sensitive, and have always been able to fit me in on ER visits! Even though I have moved across the water, over 2 years ago, and it takes me @ 1.5 hours on the bus for my commute, I still go back to them as my ONLY choice in having a Dentist! *****

This is by far the best dentists office in the Portland area! The people here are very professional and proactive!
I have been going to this office for several years, however a couple years ago I moved to California and was forced to get a new dentist.
About a week ago I came back to the Portland area and decided to get a cleaning at Terwilliger Dental. BEST DECISION EVER! They cleaned my teeth and took X-rays (the dentist I have been going to for the last couple years never took X-rays). Dr. Hoang quickly noticed 3 cavities and 2 potential cavities in my mouth (all of which had gone unnoticed at my new dentist office). I now have an appointment to come back and get them all fixed!
From now on I’m going to schedule all my appointments with Dr. Hoang. I’d rather fly back to Portland than have my teeth rot out from having a bad dentist!
Thank you everyone at Terwilliger dental for being so awesome!


I’ve had a great experience at Terwilliger Dental. Not only is the staff very friendly but it’s 100% covered by the OHP dental plan which is awesome, especially for low income folks / those financially affected by COVID. I recently had bonding work done and they did a great job!

I chose Terwilliger Dental, from a list of providers that took my insurance. And boy was I pleased and happy with my random first choice! I read no reviews on them before I had chosen them, I still haven't read any until today! I called and made an appt, after not being seen at a dentist in 3 years, I'm from Seattle. Been in Portland for a year now, best move I've made when it comes to dentists and doctors here!!I called and set up an appt with Letty, she was amazing over the phone.. I felt extremely comfortable as we talked and she set up my appt! She was able to get me an appt for the next day! I came in the next afternoon, which I had to take my 1 month old daughter with me, her dad works until early evening so it was my only choice!Of course I get there and she decides she wants to wake up while in her car seat, I rock her myself until I get called to the back. Janna greeted me in the waiting area (I later on learned how much I loved her!) she talked me through what was going to happen this initial appt, of course baby starts crying in her car seat, which she then offers for someone to rock her while I get my x-rays done! Thank you, Rosie! For doing that even though she was still fussing!Then it was onto my cleaning, & Dr Hoang was welcoming and wonderful! She warned me of all of the times I'll be back for work done... LOL, I knew how bad my teeth were. But she didn't make me feel bad about it! She made me very comfortable! Her & Janna are an amazing team! All while I was getting my cleaning done, my daughter was so fussy, so they asked Letty the front desk (manager ? I think?) to rock her and soothe her, she came and did that with no problem! I am so blessed to have had the experience I had, these women are amazing! THANK YOU to all of you @ Terwilliger Dental!I was so satisfied! Like never have I everExperienced a dental appt like this. YOU HAVE ME AS A FOREVER PATIENT!

Dr. Hoang has been our family dentist for close to twenty years! We've never had any problems.The staff are friendly and know us by name. They did a great job of guiding our kids through their first dental visits, regular checkups, cavity fills and also referred us to a great orthodontist when the time came. 5 stars!

My husband and I have been going to Terwilliger Dental for a little over a year now. Every time they've been wonderful! Their staff are friendly and professional. I've got a particularly small mouth which has resulted in additional discomfort as other dentists have done routine care and cavity fills. With Dr. Hoang, she's also been kind and gentle in the work she does.

Terwilliger Dental is fantastic!! I love going to the dentist but Dr. Hoang and Jana (the assistant) make it so much more fun! 🙂 I am a dental assistant now and they gave me the opportunity to extern for them while I was in school and because of them I felt so prepared going into the dental field. I now am going to school to be a dental hygienist all with the encouragement and help from Dr. Hoang. She is absolutely wonderful and her patient care is excellent. I don't understand how she remembers each and every patient and their story but she does and helps make everyone feel comfortable there whether they're anxious going to the dentist or not. Come here if you want great dental care!!!! Highly recommend.

The best dental care I have ever experienced! Professional, courteous, and friendly staff made me feel like family. All the people here were very gentle and kind to me. They explained very well what was going on. Thank you Terwilliger Dental! I would highly recommend to anyone!

I have been coming to Terwilliger Dental for over a decade. I will never go to another office. The staff make you feel you’re walking into your favorite family members house. They take care of every procedure with the utmost care. Once you finish your first appointment you will never look for another dentist.

From the moment I walked in the door I felt so comfortable. The care I received was top shelf. She was honest about my treatment plan and with the lady's help at the front desk I saved a ton of money so I really trust them. Every time I go there I leave with peace of mind and a little bit brighter smile than I had before thanks for all your hard work ladies!Tara Johnson


I have been a patient of Dr. Hoang for many years. She has always been very kind and takes the time to get to know her patients, which creates a positive experience and relaxing atmosphere. Routine cleanings are timely and thorough. The office has been very accommodating when I have needed to reschedule, even on short notice. Great team and dentist.

Great family friendly practice! It has been years since my last dental visit. I had a very bad tooth extraction in the past. Lots of pain and abscess. I needed more teeth to get extracted due to my age and oral care. After letting her know of my concerns, she educated me and advise me before and after my appointments that I wish I went in sooner. Dr.Hoang was very kind and understanding to work with me with my financial concerns. I like that she talks about many different topics to distract me of what is going on in my mouth and engages with me not as a patient but as a friend or family member. I appreciate her knowledge and truly feel that she cares and not over charging for every little thing like some other offices wanted to do. Prices are reasonable considering her years of experience and knowledge, nothing to complain about. She worked with my anxiety with dental treatment and her staff created a payment plan that I was able to do. Thank you very much Dr.Hoang and her amazing and kind staff who are always smiling while running around. Thank you for your time and dedication. I'm glad I found my dental home. Highly recommend!

I consulted with Dr. Hoang on a second opinion for a wisdom tooth extraction. I was able to be seen quickly, and they updated my X-rays. Although I was nervous about exposure to the virus, the staff was masked and gowned, so I felt comfortable. As an out of town college student with limited time at home, I greatly appreciated the flexibility to be seen on short notice.

I’ve never been one to enjoy my dental visits, but that has all changed because of Dr. Hoang. Her positive energy and happy to see you attitude really puts me at ease. She is also supported by a staff of friendly and competent assistants and office staff. All of my treatments have been a success, and dare I say.....I’m looking forward to my next visit!!
