Dr. Jeffrey Williamson DDS Centerpointe Dental We are shocked at how obvious it is that this man is a phony. Worst Dentist in the Portland area. Lake Oswego, Oregon
Dr. Jeffrey Williamson DDS is the worst Dentist in the Portland Area. Just do a search on Insider pages too see tons of negative reviews about this guy. He totally ripped me off and many others.
I have researched several docters and I have never seen one with SO MANY negative complaints against him. The dental board has an open investigation and could end up shutting his office down in the near future. He has hurt to many people for him to continue practicing.
Please do yourself and your family a favor and find a different Dentist. You'd have to be crazy to go to him after reading all these horrible reviews from him PAST patients.
Read the below.
I had a horrible experience with Dr. Jeffrey Williamson DDS (Centerpointe Dental) a couple weeks ago. I came in for cleaning, check up, and repair of my two crowns that had fallen out. He gave me a long lecture about having to floss deep inside my mouth (I do), but ended up not even giving me the cleaning I was scheduled for. Did he just try to make me feel guilty, and feel that I needed to see him more often, when in fact there was nothing there to clean? The crown that he fixed ended up sticking out like I had a buck tooth, and felt very strange in my mouth. I could feel it even under the anesthesia's effect. But when I pointed it out to him, he went all confrontational and blamed it first on my lower tooth, and next on my previous dentist.
All I know is that I did not have a buck tooth when I came in his office. Now I have one, since he refused to fix his shoddy work. I also had a cavity on the side of the tooth next to that crown that was only visible when the crown was removed. He didn't discover that. I did, when looking in the mirror he handed me. And when I asked him to stop putting the crown back on and to fix that cavity first, he was like "oh yeah, I forgot," then proceeded to drill that tooth without giving me any anesthesia first.
Only after I jumped and screamed that it hurt did he give me one, saying "I didn't think it would hurt." Hello? The filling he put on that cavity was of a color couple shades darker than my tooth. And he didn't polish it at all so that now it looks like I have a yellowish corn stuck between my front teeth.
When I pointed it out to him after he said "done!"--he was like "oh, thats the whitest color I've got right now; I need to order the #1 (whatever that is). Come back next time, I'll change it." "what about the filling not being smooth and flush with the surface of the tooth?" he answered: "oh, I forgot to polish it before I put the crown back-hehe-don't worry, it's not permanent. I'll fix it next time Hello? If that was your plan, why didn't you inform me before I pointed it out to you? Why you dismissed me, acting like everything was fixed and good?
And why wait till next time to remove this ugly "corn" on my FRONT teeth? The purpose of going to the dentist is to have a better, brighter smile. But thanks to you, now I dare not smile at all. Thanks, Dr. Jeffrey Williamson. Now if I need to scare anyone away, all I have to do is show them my buck tooth and the yellowish corn next to it.

Dr. Williamson much better than this report

Dr. Williamson is certainly not "the worst Dentist in the Portland Area" as stated in this report.
In the nearly 20 years that my family has been using his services, we have never had a problem with his work, assistants or Hygenist. In fact, while other dentists have told us that "composite fillings will fall out or need to be replaced within 5 - 10 years", Dr. Williamson's composite fillings have never exhibited any problems and blend in better than other composites that I have had (before finding Dr. Williamson).
We have tried numerous other Dentists in the area, and none have exhibited the concern for the patient that Dr. Williamson has. He has kept track of individual needs and preferences, and has offered substitute anethesia when asked.
In the original report, the consumer states that he came in for a cleaning, checkup and repair of two crowns. If you prioritize those requests, the Crown repair comes out on top, and that is probably why the cleaning did not happen. Appointments at any medical office are scheduled by the expected time to complete, NOT by a standard time. If there was a "time crunch" due to more requirements present than time available, I would certainly hope that my provider would prioritize care to fix the critical issues prior to working on the less critical issues.
I would recommend Dr. Williamson to any one asking, as his patient care and expertise is exceptional.
Would I say that the reporter is totally "out-to-lunch" on his report? No, I do not have any specific information on his appointment, but I certainly look at it with a jaundiced eye, it is totally contrary to my family's experiences.
