Downtown Dental Associates - Thomas R Osterlind

Ingrid did a great job cleaning my choppers. Tammy was a great assistant and as always, Dr. Becker was professional as well as personable. Love the team at DDA!

Very personable & efficient staff & dentist created a fun & productive visit. Thank you very much! I will see you again & again. I look forward to these appointments! Jim

It has been honestly only positive so far and I'm really happy I moved to this team. Dr Becker and the team have been truly transparent and down to earth with their advice and I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend them.

I'm so glad to have found Dr. Becker and Downtown Dental Associates. They have done wonders with my complex dental situation and dental anxiety. I've never had better care and will never go anywhere else. Thank you so much to Dr. Becker and all the staff at DDA!

I'm so glad I found Dr. Becker and Downtown Dental Associates. I have complex dental issues and have needed a lot of dental work. Experiences at other dental offices left me with extreme anxiety about getting dental care. Dr. Becker is fixing all of that with his skill. patience, and kindness. Plus he has a good sense of humor and has never hurt me.

I always feel listened to and treated as an individual here, Everyone here has made me feel well taken care of, from dental assistants Tammy and Jenny and my hygienist, Sarah who uses warm water for my cleaning. I've finally found the dental office I've been looking for. Even if I were to move away from Portland, I'd still come here for my dental care. I'm so grateful for Dr. Becker and the rest of the staff at DDA. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Ingrid did a very thorough cleaning job-as usual- and gave me very helpful advice. Knowing that she is fully vaccinated & boosted allowed me to be very relaxed the whole time.

I have been going to Downtown Dental Associates for many many years and they have consistently provided excellent dental care, friendly and helpful interactions with all members of their team, and a great environment. Dr. Becker is highly skilled, marvelously kind, and goes out of his way to have a respectful and collaborative relationship with his patients.

My questions are always answered, my concerns are always addressed, and my options are always explained so that I can make informed decisions about my dental health. Every dental hygienist I have seen has been non-judgemental, thorough, and gentle. The admin team has been great to work with when getting scheduled and dealing with insurance/billing.

And bonus, if you are occasionally absent-minded like me, Downtown Dental Associates is great about sending reminders (2 weeks before, 2 days before, and the morning of) so I don't miss an appointment.

I suppose it might sound strange for me to say I enjoyed getting my teeth cleaned, but the whole experience was great from start to finish. It felt like visiting old friends that you have not seen in awhile. Professional, friendly, and down right pleasant!

Downtown Dental Associates always five stars. Dr. Persichetti and his superior staff (Tammy today) always make me feel at ease through the whole process. While having an old filling replaced, Dr. Persichetti walked me through each step and told me what he was doing before he initiated the process. Having that knowledge helps destress the fear of not knowing what is going on. Kudos to DDA!

I have been seeing Dr. Persichetti and Ingrid for the last 9 years and they are incredible at what they do & even better people. That goes for the entire staff too! Since the age of 5 I have been terrified of going to the dentist, but ever since I met this amazing team I actual enjoy it They are also huge proponents of preventative care, which I attribute to not having a cavity and having healthy gums. Please do yourself a favor and go here!

Thank you, Dr. Becker and Jenny H for making our visits pleasant. For the past 20 years, they have served our autistic Foster Son and have made his visits pleasant let alone excellent oral care. Their level of professionalism and Dental treatments go above and beyond. We are dedicated to Dr. Becker and Jenny H. Thanks for your service.

I love Downtown Dental and particularly Dr Persichetti and the rest of the "crew". I have been seeing them for more years than I can count! Literally decades. The office is very professional and I am always treated with the utmost respect and kindness. Dr Persichetti always takes time to discuss treatment options as well as how things are going in my life.

He genuinely takes an interest. I feel like a valued person not just another patient to process through. Today I got a special surprise in my take home bag. In addition to the usual toothpaste and brush and floss there was a box of toothpicks! They know I use toothpicks as a part of my daily care and they went the extra mile to remember and add them to my bag. How special is that? Thank you Downtown Dental!

Dr. Becker and his team are amazing. They are talented and very kind. I really feel comfortable and at ease at the office. They text me reminders and always follow up with me after my appointment. I highly recommend DDA! A caring team of skilled professionals that put my mind at ease and put a smile back on my face. Thank you for all you do.

Everyone in the office is so friendly! As a new patient, I truly felt welcome here. The level of care was excellent, and after my exam and tooth cleaning, everything felt right where it should. A few days later, my metal retainer started poking my mouth, the DDA graciously fixed it free of charge (quick refill of dental glue). I was impressed by the level of customer care, and recommend this location! Note: I have dental insurance so cost wasn't a dealbreaker, but you should do your own due diligence before booking an appointment.

For 10 years I received excellent care. However, today I walked out when my hygienist refused to tell me if she'd been vaccinated. She answered "That is on the same level as politics and religion. It's a personal private issue." NO. It's a healthcare issue. It's the office policy NOT TO REQUIRE AND NOT TO REVEAL who has and has not been vaccinated.

They are poking around in your mouth. This is a health safety issue -- not a political issue unless they choose to make it one and apparently they have. My mouth was already open and I was prepped for a cleaning. I left anyway. I'll be switching to another dentist. Too bad.

All my life, I have needed a lot of dentistry, no choice, just my bad luck. I had a great dentist in Chicago but I moved out to Portland. So I found Downtown Dental & explained my complicated history and ongoing trouble. This is the practice I was hoping for. They're terrific. The place is convenient, the wonderfully kind assistants and technicians are really professional. Dr. Voge is exactly the high-level dentist I need.

Now I have a long-term treatment plan that will really take care of all my issues. Pricing? You get what you pay for. I'm guessing this is not the most expensive in town. Obviously, their priority is good dentistry, not $$$. I recommend this practice.

Excellent full service dental care, from cleaning to oral surgery. Wonderful staff, from front desk, technicians, to the dentists themselves. In over twenty years, I have not had one single negative interaction with the staff. Great people and great dental care.

They require your social security number as a new patient. In this day of hacking and identity theft it is not a good idea to give anyone your number. Even Medicare is sending out new cards with a separate identifier so you don't give medical providers your social security number. They claim it is used to extend me credit but since my insurance is paying their part and I'm paying the remainder at the time of service there is no credit. They obviously don't care about my privacy and identity. What else don't they care about?

The dentist was a professional and very nice man, walking through what he was finding and any and all concerns I had. Unfortunately, the wait for a hygienist was over 30 minutes. It's not like I was walking in - they had my appointment and yet there was the longest delay I'd ever experienced at a dentist. The real kicker though was the bill.

I had done the research and confirmed that they were in network. Alas, I must have err'd as they currently are not in network. The receptionists did not think to mention this during scheduling, check in, and they have made no effort to provide relief as I stare at this surprising bill. Triple check that they are in network for you!

Every contact that I have have had with Downtown Dental Associates has been fabulous. All of the doctors there are conscientious and demonstrate a sincere concern for their patients. The front office staff are all pleasant and welcoming and so efficient! My dentist, Dr. Drakulich is highly skilled and professional. I feel relaxed and confident during our treatment sessions and appreciate her friendly and caring demeanor!

I highly recommend this Dental practice. I especially love my dentist - Dr Drakulich and all of the hygenists and office staff are wonderful. They have fixed my chipped tooth, broken tooth, repaired and replaced crowns and of course the semi-annual cleaning. The office is professional, comfortable, clean, and all machines and methods are state of the art. I always feel welcome and comfortable there. I have recommended them to my family and friends.

Another great visit with Dr. Persichetti and his invincible team - Nikki is the hygienist who helps me and Lindsay does the x-rays, etc. Please go and see them - you will be so glad you did! They don't hurt you! Dr. Persichetti is the BEST dentist I've ever seen! I'm so grateful to have found them! You will be too.

I have been going to the DDA dentists and hygenists since 1981. I have found everyone of them to be outstanding professionals. Dr. Ryan Voge is my current excellent dentist. He has admirably filled the shoes of my dear friend Dr. John Rosenthal, who I trust is enjoying his retirement! I highly recommend their services.

This place is literally the best. Everyone is friendly, everyone is helpful. Dr. Drakulich is so wonderful and really does everything to perfection. I usually hate going to the dentist but never once have I been nervous about being here. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Great experience! Nikki is such a thorough hygienist and provides great feedback on how to improve overall oral health. Dr. Voge seems to genuinely care about each individual patient and about the quality of work that he provides. Time spent in his dental chair is time very well spent! I will continue to highly recommend DDA to anyone searching for a quality dental experience.

Downtown Dental in Portland is absolutely the best; it's probably one of the few dental offices where you will look forward to your visits. As mentioned in other reviews, Dr. Persichetti is just a fantastic dentist. When doing any work, even just a simple examination, he takes time to tell you what he's seeing, what he thinks about it, and making sure that you also understand what he is seeing/doing.

The hygienists who work with him are also great - Mindy would have been the most recent for my crown prep/fitting. Genuinely nice people who are skilled at their jobs; that's what I love about DDA; I can't imagine there being a better group of dentists and hygienists in Portland!

I actually look forward to my visits to Downtown Dental Associates. Every person, from clerical, dental hygienists to Dentist, has the best, positive energy and I never worry if I have to have a different substitute hygienist or dentist for my visit. Besides using the most current and modern tools and technologies, they educate me on how to get the most out of my homecare. Today, I had the best report ever for teeth cleaning. I recommend them to all of my friends.

I'm vacationing in Portland for the next few days, and happened to accidentally pop a crown off while eating a Sugar Daddy lollypop. Downtown Dental Associates was within walking distance of our hotel, and I called them first thing the next morning. They were incredibly helpful, and fit me in right away. They were competent and thorough, without any extra costly services that I didn't need.

I was examined, my crown glued back in place, and back enjoying my vacation by 11am. The dentist, dental assistant, and all three of the receptionists gave me excellent service, and I was very impressed with them and the facility. I would definitely recommend them!

This office is the best! Excellent professional dental care, warm, caring staff and dentists, central location, appointments run exactly on time and parking is free. Hard to imagine looking forward to seeing a dentist- but this office is comfortable and friendly and Dr Persechetti feels like an old friend after seeing him for 10 years. He is kind, gentle and talks through the process so you know what he is doing all the time.

He has never pushed unnecessary treatments- allowing 30-year old fillings to continue to age gracefully until he was sure they were wearing out before my teeth when he suggested we discuss when to replace them. There are never billing surprises as all procedures are cleared and explained ahead of time. He has never hurt me- what a wonderful dentist.

Dr. Becker and staff genuinely have their clients best interest first. Love the free valet no time lost with finding parking. Right when I walk through the door staff acknowledge who I am from my photo on file and am checked it, wait time average has been 5mins. My hygienist Sidney is amazing and gentle with cleaning. Love the friendly chats with staff, love the goodies I walk away with and choice of lip balm flavours! For kids that go here there are amazing goodies for them, my family love dentist check ups!

I love these people! I know, they are a Dentist office, usually one of the most hated thoughts we have as civilized humans, but really, they are awesome. I left Eugene 18 months ago and a great Dentist there, who recommended Dr. Persichetti. I made an appointment and met the man, face to face. He is very kind, soft spoken and cares a great deal about your oral health.

I have regular appointments and love Lynn, one of the nicest people you will ever meet! As far as Oral Hygienists are concerned, she's awesome, they all are really, but I especially like Lynn. She remembers me and little details about me. She's very thorough and also cares a great deal to make the experience pleasant and pain free. Last November, 2 cavities were detected, hadn't had any in 20 years!

We talked about the cost and the treatment options. My insurance doesn't cover everything, so we worked out a payment arrangement and scheduled the appointment. They let me pay 1/2 at the time of service and the other half after the Insurance paid their portion. The Insurance paid more than we expected, so I paid the small remainder! It's great that they are willing to work with insurance companies. If you need a Dentist, definitely give these guys a try!
