Tigard Family Dental

This is the most professional dentistry office I have ever been to and I recommend them to everyone! The employees/​dentist are very kind and welcoming. I have always despised going to the dentist but not anymore thanks to Tigard Family Dental!!! Please visit for yourself to see how amazing they really are. They did a amazing job on my teeth and I finally feel proud to smile again. Thank you again Tigard Family Dental I’m no longer scared of the dentist :)

Had xrays done at another place that no longer served ohp clients, was told only one tooth needed filling. Had to have another exam here, which they never asked after initial consult if I would like an appointment for, so I called months later. I had to change appt and the office manager said oh wait you need two fillings no wait that is three, no four… I’m like what? Asked why two dentists had completely different views after seeing me within months of each other. She told me their dentist left and I believe was no longer in profession. Too tired to go into every detail, but office manager was defensive and very rude and agreed I should go elsewhere.

I contacted Tigard family dental for my 4 year old to do a check up and to get my daughter familiar with the dentist and what they do. She was very shy and they were able to do a cleaning and an exam. The next day she asked when she would be able to go back to the dentist. Dr. Friberg was very thoughtful and kind and could not have been better.
I went back and re-​read some of the reviews and the dentist is new there. He allowed my wife to go in the back and our daughter sat on her lap during the whole process. I found it to be very kid friendly. They never went past my daughters comfort levels.

Great doctor, excellent hygienist for the yearly cleaning, friendly staff. And very reasonably priced, too. I also think it is a great place for kids. When I went with my son, it was totally fine for me to sit with him while Dr. Han worked on him. And he was very good with my son, too. Friendly and engaging.
And very reasonably priced, too. I’m very satisfied.

Dr. Phil Han, DMD, is a young and rising star among the dental community. He makes it painless and has all the tools needed to give great care to his clients.

The dentist who had been there and was wonderful has left. In her place is a young doctor, Dr. Phil Han, DMD, who graduated dental school one year ago.
I have significant anxiety and it is well documented in my patient records. I arrived at my appointment not knowing I would have a new dentist, and was unprepared. Dr. Han was going to forgo the topical numbing gel before injecting the local anesthetic. Um, no. I insisted they apply the gel. After a minimum amount of time for the gel to take effect he began to inject the anesthetic. When I fully felt the needle I flipped out. He explained that because the topical numbing gel has a bitter taste, he just goes directly to the needle. At this, I cannot help but wonder if Dr. Han has himself had a filling, and if he understands the significant pain of a needle going into one’s gums. I had to take an Ativan to calm down.
My appointment was 4 days ago and I still have significant gum swelling. I did have a deep cavity, however the previous dentist dealt with deeper cavities without any of these issues.
The topper: he tried that with my 12 year old son. No. My son said he preferred no anesthetic to dealing with a needle in his mouth without a topical numbing agent first.
Dr. Han is getting used to the office, and honestly his lack of experience is evident. I understand that everyone must start somewhere and that there is a learning curve, however it’s really not OK when that learning curve is happening inside someone’s mouth. Using a topical local before applying a needle to such delicate tissues is critical.
While I’m sure he’s a nice man and well learned, but we will be finding a different dentist.

What? There is no zero stars?
Seriously,
Two warnings here:
Rebecca Martinez, Office Manager (they say that people who work dental offices can have some serious issues… well, enough said. Rebecca, be nice to people.
I do not recommend children’s dental here. Not child friendly. They don’t want you in the back with your children. Even the first visit. My son was a little nervous and the dentist Michele said, we can’t take him here. Then they told me they would send my son to another clinic in Portland. Later when I called the office to ask about it Rebecca snapped at me about how she told me children could not have parents back there with them. Main points. Not Children friendly. Not people friendly. I like nice Dental offices.

Came in with horrible tooth ache and Tigard family dental squeezed me in their tight schedule, Dr Michelle assessed my tooth and gave me some pain meds for couple of days which I understand because they have many patients. came back after 2 days and they started the root canal proccess, left with ⁰⁄₁₀ pain, I was pretty happy about that and they were just happy people always giving smiles everywhere and very very gentle with their treatment. They sure do know what they are doing. Thanks you guy! I feel great! — Dan
