Northeast Health Center

Everyone is pretty nice here, but I can’t say that it has been my favorite doctors office to go to. They take forever to do almost anything. Get a referral, get you into your appointment, run tests, call you back etc etc.
Otherwise its okay. Just wish they were a bit more attentive to their patients.

When you need some dental help and your options are limited, this is the place to go. A pre exam. Tooth extraction and medicine was less than $ 100.00. The whole procedure took less than 45 min. but I was there for about 3 ½ hrs. So bring a book. The staff are all kind and they have Spanish Speaking staff on hand. As I understand it. You can call ahead and get a translator in a variety of other languages. You don’t get a lollipop at the end but for ¹⁄₁₂ the cost of a regular dentist. I’ll buy my own candy!

If you’re in need of accessible basic medical care, Multnomah County works to have you covered. This is one of a few sites around town that offers such services, and they’ve also got emergency/​urgent dental care — say you need a tooth out but don’t have insurance — they’ll make an appointment and get it out for you, and charge a sliding scale fee to do so.
If you’re looking for the number for the dental, it’s (503) 988‑3664, and you’re best served to call and make an appointment before you go in. Folks there are helpful, if busy, and great at setting one at ease. I had an abscessed wisdom tooth a couple years ago that had to come out RIGHT NOW and they took care of it quickly, cleanly, and efficiently. I would definitely go back… if I had a tooth that needed to get out of my head today, which hopefully won’t be happening anytime soon.
