Although Covid-19 kept us from celebrating our 13th Anniversary in style, it couldnt keep us back for our 14th! We had a great day outdoors with golf and good food at McMenamins Edgefield. Score cards not required: we know we scored big, with a team this awesome!
Teammates from Pitman Family Dentistry celebrated completing either the 10K run or the 5K run/walk with St. Patricks Day Spirit. The run was a fundraiser to support the Dental Foundation of Oregon and their Tooth Taxi, which provides children in our local community with free dental care and oral health education.
Our team joined SOLVE again for another great garbage cleanup. This time we beautified our own neighborhood during the Goose Hollow cleanup which helped neighbors prepare for the Goose Hollow Days Street Festival.
Upon entering our office in Uptown, youll sense the warmth and laid-back vibe of Pitman Family Dentistry. Its no wonder that family and a strong sense of community are at the heart of Drs. Ryan and Sarah Pitmans practice.
Proud Oregonians and OHSU graduates, Ryan and Sarah enjoy all the eclectic eateries and neighborhoods, lush city parks, and cultural richness Portland has to offer. The two of them are thrilled to be working and living in such a great part of this city. Outdoor enthusiasts, you may even catch them hiking in Forest Park or exploring the nearby mountains, beaches, or high desert with their two daughters.
Solidly grounded in the importance of community connections, Sarah gets nostalgic when talking about her hometown of Salem, Oregon. I grew up working in my fathers dental office and saw how eager patients were to share what they had been up to since their last visit. I watched families grow, and enjoyed the lasting relationship we had with all of them. I knew that would always be an important factor in my career too. Growing a practice of our own here in Portland has been incredibly fulfilling. I LOVE what I do. Ryan, a Portland native, finds it especially rewarding to be in the neighborhood he grew up in, working with long-time friends and family.

Dr Sarah is amazing. She truly cares about saving teeth and doesn't take advantage of you as a patient. She has magic hands and does a great job every single time. She is caring and patient. I am always nervous about going to the dentist but feel relived after visiting the Pitmans.

I have extreme dental phobia and I had such an amazing first visit I'm surprised to say I'm looking forward to getting my filling fixed (from my old dentist) at my next appointment! Dr. Sarah Pitman was so knowledgeable and gentle! The entire staff was kind and professional. I was impressed with their online forms and COVID protocols. Alyssa the hygienist was amazing and made me feel completely at ease. Cannot recommended this office enough!

These folks are simply great. They clearly care, they speak clearly of all likelihoods and possibilities, and they work WITH you for solutions. Plus, all of them are nice people. I repeat: these folks are simply great.

My dentist recently retired and I was thrust into the world of searching for a new provider. Luckily I hit gold with Pitman Family Dentistry. The dentists here are incredibly knowledgeable and (perhaps more important) are great at explaining your current status, options for moving forward, and likely results -- all without causing undue anxiety or pressure. Everyone I had contact with was friendly and professional, and the facilities themselves were exceptional. As the bonus on top, the work was done with extraordinary care and they were obviously very conscientious about causing as little pain/impact as possible. Five stars!

I had an unfortunate experience here. I'm currently in the process of getting work that was done by Dr. Ryan Pitman redone by another dentist. It turns out getting work fixed is more specialized and complicated than getting it done the first time. Better to get it done right in the first place. He did a crown about a year ago and left a gap between the crown and the tooth behind it and a large gob of cement underneath the gums. I went back to them several times with concerns about it and was repeatedly assured it was good crown. In my most recent check up, he insisted on making a bite change to my back molar, saying there was a high spot. I didn't really want it done and didn't understand the magnitude of the change he was going to make. It threw my whole bite out of alignment and my teeth can no longer close together comfortably. I was so upset by the bite change that I went to another dentist. She said my teeth are no longer touching in the spot where he adjusted my bite. She then noticed the crown and was shocked and said it had to be redone. That started me on the long process of trying to getting everything redone and fixed.

I've been with them for a few years now. Always great service and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I've not had any issues scheduling, I travel a lot for work and have had to re-schedule cleanings etc. They have always been able to accommodate me in a reasonable amount of time.

BEST dental experiences I've had - both doctors are great communicators - I know what's going to happen as they work on me, and there has been NO PAIN! Super gentle and knowledgable. If you've been putting off going to the dentist, these are the folks to see. Great office staff, too! They've turned my fear of the dentist around completely - thank you, Doctors Pitman and Staff! So grateful for your compassion and competence!
