Dan was born and raised in upstate New York. He attended Ithaca College where he met his wife, Becca. Although Becca dragged him out to the Pacific Northwest, he quickly fell in love with the area. Their first stop was in Bellingham, WA were he found a job as a woodworker making high-end dining and rocking chairs. A visit with his dentist, a hobbyist woodworker, turned him onto the idea of dentistry. He hasnt looked back since.
While pursuing his new-found career path, Dan and his wife moved to Portland where he attended Portland State University. With acceptance into Roseman University for dental school, Dan and Becca moved to Salt Lake City where they immediately fell in love with the mountains, the desert, and all the other natural beauty that Utah has to offer. While in Utah, Dan and Becca welcomed their son, Joshua, to the world. Missing the northwest and wanting to be closer to family, they moved back to Oregon and Dan joined Mid-Valley.
Dan loves dentistry! He loves the tactile sensation and artistic sense that correlates to woodworking. He jokingly says, dentistry is just like woodworking, but smaller and in someones mouth! He also loves getting to know his patients, connecting with them and helping to improve their lives. In his spare time, he likes skiing, hiking, backpacking, and even some occasional whitewater rafting - just being outdoors whenever possible. Dan, Becca, Josh and dog Althea (Ally) now call Corvallis home.

I just came here to say Dr. Courtney at Mid-Valley Dental Associates in Albany on Willetta Street is seriously the absolute best!!!! She always makes my children feel comfortable and has lots of jokes and laughs. Definitely changes my kids attitudes and feelings about visiting the dentist Thank You Dr. Courtney for your amazing talent to both treat and fix my children's teeth as well as the love and connections you make with kids while doing your job!!!

I had not visited a dental office in 18 years mainly out of my dental phobia/fears. Much to my surprise it was a painless and easy experience even with having to have several teeth extracted. Dr. Reynolds and his excellent assistants put my fears at ease with their calming demeanors and friendly/ informative / honest banter. I am going back and for others with similar fears as mine I would give them a try.

I have been very apprehensive to go to the dentist pretty much my whole life. But within the last few months I have had a root canal and all four wisdom teeth pulled and have been very satisfied with the results. I experience no pain or discomfort and I am very please with how the staff and practitioners conduct them selves during and after the procedures. I strongly urge anyone looking for a high quality dentist to consider mid valley dental associates. You will not be sorry!

Dr. Berg is the one to see if you need a tooth pulled. I hadn't gone to a dentist in awhile, so one tooth was beyond repair. Dr. Berg is professional courteous and experienced! He also has extensive experience with implants, and while I chose not to go that route this time; I confidently would recommend this office for implants. I wasn't pressured into getting more done, that what I asked for. Very compassionate care!

Today was my first trip to a dentist in longer than I can remember, and the first time having a tooth pulled. I had a broken molar that the dentist was able to remove without issue. I thought that it was going to be a surgical extraction because of the amount of tooth broken off, but he did a fantastic job of plucking it out without needing to section it, or cut my gums. The process was quick, and pain free with the only discomfort being the normal and expected pressure needed for pulling a tooth, and maybe a slight pinch from the needle, they gave me some numbing gel before the shot too, so even that part was barely noticeable. All said, the discomfort was trivial and really not even an issue. Once the tooth was pulled, I went home with really no pain to speak of, even after the numbness wore off. A couple of Ibuprofen just to help prevent some potential swelling is all I have taken, but again, that was more preventative than for any actual pain. Friendly and personable dentist and staff who answered all of my questions and did a good job explaining what to expect. If you have a fear of dentists or doctors in general, this is probably a good place to go, they seem to be pretty good at putting you at ease, and from what I can tell, they are good at what they do. Working with you on payments when you do not have insurance is also a very nice touch. They were the best value and most flexible that I found after calling around, and turned out to be great quality too. I ended up owing less than I had prepared for, and saved some money, so bonus points there. Give these guys a shot.

Dr Berg is amazing! He has taken such great care of my family, my daughter in particular. My daughter had a broken infected tooth that was causing her a lot of issues (she was not in the united states and had never been to a dentist before). Dr Berg accepted x-rays from a different facility and got her right in for an extraction and dental treatment. Today she had her wisdom teeth pulled and it went flawlessly. Mid Valley Dental Assoc are very professional and the nicest group of people. It's safe to say all of your dental needs will be managed efficiently and with the most up to date and appropriate treatment plans
