Rose City Dental Care

Dr. Tae and his team are beyond amazing, informative and accommodating. Nothing brings me more anxiety than a dental visit. I’ve been coming to Dr. Tae for about five years and each and every time he services me with such care, gentleness and compassion. I’ve referred him to several people and I know they will not regret the experience. To De. Tae and your entire team: May God bless you all. Happy New Year!

The doctor was extremely gentle and very friendly.I enjoyed my experience tremendously

Great experience at this dental office! The staff is friendly and efficient, and appointments run smoothly without long waits. The dentists are clearly knowledgeable and take the time to explain things clearly. I was also impressed by how quickly they were able to get me in for an appointment — no weeks-long wait like some other offices. Highly recommend!

I have been coming here for almost 10 years I think and it’s a pretty solid place for your dental needs. With that being said, I had the best experience I have ever had with a Dental Hygienist ever this past weekend. I believe her name was Maryann. I hadn’t seen her before in the times that I have been going there, but she was so lovely and so knowledgeable in her field. She took the time and explained everything to me and what she was doing. It was really refreshing and she was incredibly helpful. So I highly recommend going there and having Maryann as your dental Hygienist

Dr Tae is knowledgeable, experienced, a good communicator, friendly, empathetic, and humorous. During procedures, he frequently checks with me about pain levels and swiftly acts to mitigate when necessary. You can tell by the way he works that he is extremely skilled and that he sincerely cares about his patients and his staff. His assistant Kristin is extremely skilled, knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and caring as well. The front desk staff are friendly, efficient, and are knowledgeable enough to answer questions. The whole vibe of the place is professional, caring, but also very positive— which I believe are all important for a dental office. Thank you to Dr Tae and his entire staff for doing such great work!

Was quoted $300 for a new patient exam and x-rays. It’s unbelievable that these second rate Drs seek to make exorbitant profits on x-rays that don’t cost nearly as much to run.

I was deathly afraid of any dentist until I suffered a painful toothache. My coworker suggested I go to Rose City and see Dr. Tae. I called the office and they graciously squeezed me in the following morning! Thank God. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. He removed the tooth and it didn't hurt at all. I even came back later on and had another extraction. No pain. Now my summer is all booked up at the dentist! My point is, if you're afraid of dentists like I was, this place removed all those fears and worries. They have a very gentle approach and are caring and friendly. I live on the other side of town and I'll always come back here for my toothy needs! Im no longer afraid to see the dentist.

The desk attendants are kind and patient, the assistants are caring and attentive, but the dentist prolonged and worsened my pain, costing me money and needless suffering. I called to schedule an emergancy appointment with Rose City because my usual dentist (OHSU School of Dentistry) has closed their urgent clinic for the month while students graduated, Rose City Dental got me in days later. I told the dentist I had intense molar pain that required a root canal or extraction. He diagnosed me with pulpitis after barely being in the room and rushing through the appointment, filing down the surface of my irritated molar, and told me to come back next week for a root canal if the pain persisted while leaving me to struggle managing an intense flair of pain he caused. When I was still in pain the next week, he didn't bother to take more than 15 minuets with me (and inflaming my tooth again) to tell me that he wanted to "preserve healthy teeth", refuse to perform a root canal, and give me a referral to a root canal specialist out of office that would cost me 400$ out of pocket for the exam fee alone. I called the referral, was told that I wasn't "in their system", and still haven't heard back from them a week after. When the OHSU urgent dental clinic opened again at the start of this month, they got me in the day after I called, thoroughly diagnosed me within an hour while treating me with compassion, and removed my unrecoverable fractured molar the same day. They also mentioned that the filing of my molar would have been exasterbating my pain. The appointment took two hours and they remedied a month's worth of pain that the dentist at Rose City Dental had prolonged and intensified needlessly. Perhaps it's for the better that he didn't get a chance to ruin my mouth further by attempting his own extraction. If you're looking for cost effective care that manages your pain while treating you with respect and dignity, OHSU School of Dentistry will take care of you. If you want to go broke and suffer, Rose City Dental will gladly take you.

I had a dental emergency yesterday and Dr. Lee and his staff were able to get me in last minute/ same day (and worked on their lunch break to see me!). They took such good care of me! They were very kind and took their time to explain the procedure options I had and made sure I understood/ was comfortable during the entire experience. Such lovely people and very calm experience- which doesn’t always get associated with going to the dentist :) I highly recommend this practice and team!
