Dr. Atack was my doctor as a teenager (I'm now 32) when I lived in Portland, and I thought of him today when my husband said that dentists have always been painful for him. I told him what Dr. Atack told me, like 20 years ago - if it's painful, they're not doing it right. :) He is solely responsible for my lack of fear of dentists (and all the hygienists who held my hand as I whimpered during fillings but wasn't actually in pain haha) and I wanted to pop back and say thank you - I didn't realize what an asset this was and I don't think I appreciated how good he was - and I'm sure still is. He also imprinted on my stubborn teenage self that the more I take care of my teeth everyday, the less I'll have to pay to "fix" them later - and he's right! I haven't had a cavity in almost 10 years! Anyway, thank you for all you do! ~Kelsey Betzelberger

Dr. Atack has been my family's dentist for over 7 years. I have lived in four states and visited many dentists, he is by far the best dentist we have ever had. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Atack and his amazing staff.

Disclaimer: Dr. Atack is my neighbor and I've known him for over 10 years. Dr. Atack's conservative approach to dentistry is refreshing in an era where some practitioners are incentivized to lobby for treatment before it's really necessary. Every procedure has costs associated with it, and he considers those carefully when making recommendations. I am pleased that I switched to his care, and I encourage anyone considering a family dentist to consult with him.

Dr. Atack has been my dentist for 20 years. He has the best staff, always helpful. Dr. Atack always takes time to explain what is going on and he always makes me feel at ease. He has been my children's dentist also and when they were young he was so patient and to this day they still go to him even if they have to pay out of pocket. By far the best dentist I have ever had.

Dr. Atack is the best. Great staff and excellent facilities. I've been going there for years, and wouldn't think of changing.
