Dr.'s Doran and Malmquist are kind and professional women who I enjoy going to for all my dental needs! I particularly love the office and its location. Everyone I've interacted with is very nice and I would definitely recommend them!

Growing up I had a lot of dental work and dentists were always a dreaded trip for me. As a result, I used to get nervous and anxious before visits (even routine cleanings). When I moved to Portland over 10 years ago, I had to find a new dentist and I am so happy that I found Pettygrove Dental (known then as "Dr. Ben Ben's office"). I cannot speak more positively about a dental office in industry I dread overall. Dr. Ben Ben and his team are truly amazing and wonderful. They alleviate my anxiety, they take care of me, they understand what it's like to be sitting in the chair. I cannot fathom going anywhere else. 10 stars.

This converted home allows you to kid yourself that you are just visiting a friend instead of going to the dentist.

I wish I could give 10 stars to this place! I hadn't been to the dentist in a long while because of Covid, but when a dental emergency came up and I had to find a doctor ASAP, this was one of the only places that could see me that day. In the end, that painful emergency was a blessing in disguise because I couldn't have asked for a better dental visit from Dr. Doran and the entire staff. I was so happy that I came back the following week for a routine cleaning and, again, I was so impressed. Nearly 30 years of dental experience had made me get used to the doctor popping their head in for about 3 minutes randomly during cleanings, and thus, I never felt like I was important. That couldn't be further from the case here. Dr. Doran comes into your appointment almost immediately and actually takes part in the exam and will spend the time to get to know you and educate you (I learned more about dental stuff in one exam here than I have in the past 30 years of cleanings). I also found their pricing very fair and there was no feeling that they were trying to nickel and dime me or sign me up for costly "routine care packages" like many other places I've visited. I'm looking forward to many more cleanings here in the future!

I was referred to Pettygrove Dental when I was in search of a new dentist after mine retired. Dr. Doran and the entire staff are truly the best. Everyone is so incredibly nice, genuine, and professional. I live in Tigard and this place is out of my way. However, I always believed in relationships. For me, to drive all the way to the NW and know that I am going to be treated well and get taken care of is important. I highly recommend Dr. Doran. She is just wonderful.

Dr. Doran and the entire staff at Pettygrove Dental were amazing. The office is beautiful. They have PARKING! Dr. Doran and Tracy were great at explaining every step of the way so you know what to expect. I hadn't been into the dentist for a long time so I was a bit nervous but Dr. Doran was so gentle and very thorough. I would recommend Dr. Doran to all my friends and family!

Great experience. Their hygienists taught be how to brush and floss correctly...and I'm 33 years old! Had some bad habits that they identified. Dr Benben and Dr Doran both take the time to chat with you and make you feel heard. Highly recommend.

I love this whole office! They are terrific and I was dental tortured as a child! I got over my fear completely here; have never been misguided. They don't fix, if it ain't broke!
