Dr. Rita Feldmanis has been practicing family dentistry in Eugene, Oregon since 1999. After twelve years at a large busy group practice, Ritas goal remains to provide excellent care for each patient from grandparents to grandchildren. Her true joy from dentistry is in the relationships she builds with her patients and her staff. She believes that optimal oral health care can be provided in a caring friendly family-like setting.
Rita grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. The oldest of three daughters, she was fortunate to experience several different cultures living for several years in Japan and the Philippines, before her parents returned to settle down in their hometown of Louisville.
After graduating from DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, Rita attended the University of Kentucky in Lexington. She graduated with a bachelors of science in mathematics in 1994. After being accepted to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, she began her studies in the fall of 1994.
By the time Rita received her Doctorate of Medical Dentistry in 1998, she had completed an externship in oral surgery with the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Philadelphia; another externship in hospital dentistry at the Western Jersey Health Center in Camden; as well as Penns Infectious Diseases Clinic which provided dental care to patients medically compromised with HIV. She also volunteered her time at a local dental community clinic which benefited inner-city Philadelphians with dental care and her churchs weekly soup kitchen for the homeless and HIV-positive.
Upon graduating from Penn, Rita decided that she wanted to practice general dentistry. A family practice permitted her the ability to see and develop relationships with entire families, something specialists are rarely able to do. To further that goal, Rita returned to Lexington to complete a one-year General Practice Residency at the University of Kentucky. As part of this advanced training, she had rotations in general dentistry, both adult and pediatric; oral surgery; anesthesia; medicine; emergency and trauma care; and in the operating room.
Once Ritas residency was completed, she moved to Eugene to join her then-boyfriend (now husband) Bill Clever as he continued his career in athletic administration at the University of Oregon. After marrying in 2002 and being blessed with two beautiful girls, Josie and Molly, Eugene is now their home and Rita loves being a Eugene, OR dentist. Their oldest is in middle schoolthis fall and the youngestis in elementary school.
In Ritas spare time, if she isnt toting someone to soccer, track, basketball, choir, or OBOB or helping out in the classroom, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, running, baking or visiting museums.
Stacy has worked in the dental field as an assistant for more than twentyyears. Her previous experience includes working in general and cosmetic dentistry. She takes pride in the care she provides her patients.
Brandi is happily married with two wonderful young children, Kylee, 10, and Landon, 7, that keep her busy. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, shopping, playing softball, camping and playing on the lake.

Dr. Rita is very personable and friendly, along with the hygienists I've had. They're very thorough, and gentle. The office is nice, and I never have to wait more than a minute or two.

Rita is the best Dentist you can find. She is knowledgeable and caring. We have been seeing her since my grown up children were just toddlers. We would not go anywhere else. I look forward to going to the dentist every six months.

I absolutely LOVE Rita and her team! She is such a compassionate and kind person. Even though I only see her twice a year for my standard cleaning, she remembers details about me and my family. I used to dread going to the dentist because it was painful and I didn't like who I was going to. Rita and her team are gentle and caring, but also tailor their work to make me comfortable. I have sensitivity to cold and I also have bleeding gums, regardless of the care I took at home. After several years of being scolded by hygienists and dentists that I wasn't doing enough (when I was doing everything I could), Rita and her team were able to recognize that I just have bleeding gums and that's who I am. It's so nice to go to the dentist and not feel embarrassed or like I'm not being listened to. Her facility is clean, staff is great, and she cares about her patients! I would 100% recommended her to anyone!

I love coming to Rita !! She is my absolute favorite. I have been seeing her since I was little. She is so sweet & personable, Brandy is always very fast and efficient & I don't remember the name of the person who cared for my teeth yesterday, but they were very kind. You really can't go wrong here, everyone is very nice.

Was referred by a family member and I'm extremely happy that I did. Believe you will also agree with me. Staff is friendly, warm and ready to help you. Dr Rita is warm, interested in your life, and ready to help out when it is needed.

Was so pleased to return to this low key office filled with wonderful feminine energy... Of course making males feel welcome as well! The hygienist was gentle but proficient. They do the annual cleanings included in my Delta dental plan without added cost. And Dr. Feldmanis is so friendly and always has something interesting to talk about. And easily located just across from Trader Joe's on Coburg with lots of parking

They charged me a late fee on my first bill. Called to refute because I had just been billed, and was told that "it didn't matter" if I thought I shouldn't be charged a late fee. The billing person was neither professional nor friendly. Great Dentist, horrible staff. I would not recommend this office to anyone.
