PATIENT REVIEWS

Wow!  I didn’t know a dental experience could be so good.  From the ease of scheduling my appointment to my cleaning and my exam, Mattson Hellickson Dental is top notch.  Procedures, costs and insurance coverages were easily understood.  The location is convenient and the quality of their new office is unmatched.  The staff is warm, welcoming and professional.  Dr. Mattson is the best!  I couldn’t recommend Mattson Hellickson Dental more to support all of your dental needs.

When I was new in Portland I started looking for a new dentist. I went to several dental offices downtown before I asked my colleagues who they would recommend. Dr. Mattson was recommended to me and I’m so glad I listened to my colleague. Dr. Mattson is great! Before he does any treatments he talks to me about the procedures and his treatment plan. He explains everything and especially since English is not my first language, he is always making sure that I understand everything he is saying. He is never in a rush and always very very friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend Sam Mattson!

Today was the first time seeing Dr Samuel Mattson and his dental team and I was extremely impressed. We have been searching for a family dentist for two years without success; but today I believe we have hit the “jackpot” ! I have a mouth complicated by complete facial reconstruction done years ago , yet it didn’t phase Dr Mattson & his team. He was calm and confident about what he could do for me and that in turn made me clam and confident. Before I left, I was given an estimate of the cost of my next visit..again impressive !! They do not believe that my money grows on trees…nothing worse than a financial surprise on the day you are numb from freshly completed dental work. No, really, I like to have a “fair” idea of how much the next visit will cost me so I can come prepared to that visit to PAY. my part. This way I feel we are a partnership. We are looking forward to growing our relationship with Dr Mattson and his team

Hi, have been a continuous patient of Dr. Mattson and now Mattson Hellickson since 1982. Great. No plans to change. Would recommend to anyone. This visit was different. Love the new clinic. The person doing gum cavity depth measurements pushed very hard. 6 months ago they pushed very hard also. Had never experienced that previously. It hurt pretty badly. I hope pushing that hard is necessary. Once my check-up was finished I waited in the chair 35 minutes for the Dentist to come check on me. The office staff kindly and courteously kept me informed that he was in a procedure and it would be just a bit longer. This was too long. Oh well. Thank you for keeping my chompers going. See you in 6 months.

Hands down the best Dentist I have ever been to. ALL of his staff is so incredibly nice & friendly & helpful. I’ve seen him & his dad for the past 20+ years and the work they do is better than anyone else. His cosmetic work is amazing and has lasted longer than expected. I cannot reccomend Dr.Sam and this practice enough – He is so incredibly kind, positive, friendly and genuinely sincere.

I recommend Mattson Hellickson to ALL of my friends and colleagues! They’re down to earth, genuine, reasonably priced and won’t nickle and dime you. Dr. Mattson and Dr. Hellickson are hands down the best dentists/people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting; I’ll never go elsewhere. They welcome you as you are part of their family, provide you with great care and payment plans.

Being a patient of Mattson Hellickson Dental is like having my dental health in the hands of the most capable, cohesive, friendly, and caring group of people in the business. Literally every one of the employees has been part of this team for many years, and it certainly shows in the care that they provide for their patients. It honestly feels like being part of a family. I can’t imagine trusting mine or my own family’s dental needs to anyone else!

Dr. Mattson is the best! We are so happy to have him help us with our dental problems. He is such a nice friendly person and you can tell he is so good at what he does. We have full trust in what he does for us. You always get a full explanation of what is going on with your teeth and how he fixes them. His staff is also great. Joe and Fabiola

Like another reviewer, I felt compelled to post a positive review due to a negative one that was left. Dr Mattson is the best dentist I’ve ever had…and I’ve been through a ton of dentists. The hygienists are extremely gentle on your teeth and Dr Mattson always takes his time to check to make sure everything is healthy in my mouth. Everyone in the office is really nice as well. Overall a very pleasant experience every time I go or I wouldn’t drive all the way from NE Pdx to see him. Very highly recommended!!!

Brand new location & equipment, layout, etc. everything looks state of the art and very modern. What’s stayed the same is impeccable service, especially the caring & respectful ‘bedside manner’ of hygienist & Dr Mattson. The old crew is as awesome as they’ve always been & new faces appeared to be cut from the same cloth. Nice to see them all glowing in their new digs.

Dr. Mattson and his whole team are excellent.  His attention to detail and comfort for his patients is so good.  He made sure my bridge was done right.  His staff really accommodates your needs for scheduling and checking your insurance coverage.  Really happy with the whole experience.  Also heard he is turning out to be a good Dad running partner.

The whole team at Mattson Hellickson Dental is nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk in, to the time spent in the chair, to every interaction along the way…everyone is friendly, honest and caring. I especially appreciate the interest that Drs. Sam, Ben and Jim take in every patient. Their mission not only is to help people maintain excellent oral health, but also to do so in a way that’s approachable, understandable and conservative. Put simply, they strive to create the best experience for everyone who walks in their door. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ben’s for almost 5 years now. His chair-side manner is great, he’s very skilled at his work, and you can tell he really loves what he does, which always puts me at ease. I’ve recommended the practice to a number of friends and family members, and they’ve had nothing but great experiences, as well. If you’re looking for top-notch dental care from people who are really good at what they do, Mattson Hellickson Dental is well worth checking out.

All of you are absolutely amazing providing A++++ services consistently and continuously every time! I am thankful and one of the lucky ones in your care! Thank you so much! Sarah, you have the hands of an Angel and Dr. Mattson –God has blessed you with a very special gift! Thank you for sharing this gift with all of us! Anytime someone asks me for a good dentist – guess what? I send them all to you! Oh, I absolutely love the new place, you did great picking everything. Its perfect. . Even the dental chairs are super comfy and when I got up and took a look I saw the chairs look like they have Angel wings. Happy New Year to all of you!! We’ll chat real soon:) –sharon

(I posted this same review on Google Reviews as well) I wish it were possible to give Dr. Mattson and his staff more than five stars–however, since five stars are the most I can give him, I will. Dr. Mattson and his practice have absolutely positively earned every single one of them and then some. Dr. Mattson is a second-generation dentist, and shares the practice with his father. Having grown up around dentistry, It is plainly evident by everything that happens in that practice that Dr. Mattson thoroughly loves being a dentist. From the second I sat down in his chair, up until I left. Dr. Mattson and his staff were all courteous, compassionate, professional, and superb at their duties. Dr. Mattson’s chair-side manner is the best I have ever experienced. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being, taking the time to explain every aspect of your procedure in sufficient detail that even someone as hugely dental-phobic as I am is put at ease. My procedures were all conducted quickly, smoothly, and professionally, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. I’m very happy to say that I have found a dentist for life. So Dr. Mattson, please don’t ever retire. 🙂

As Dr. Ben’s first patient and a friend of Dr. Sam’s for years, I can vouch for the quality of care that both of these dentists provide. Their staff is the warmest, most professional team in the industry – each and every person there takes a genuine interest in their patients’ well-being and health over the long-term. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning, pursuing cosmetic dentistry or seeking relief from a pre-existing issue, you will be given an honest opinion, fair treatment options (with no pressure) and the highest quality of care (both dentists graduated from one of the most rigorous and respected programs in the nation at University of the Pacific). It’s more than a dental office; it’s a family!

I don’t normally write these things but the bad rating made me so annoyed I felt compelled. My experience with Dr. Sam has been amazing! He took a mouth full of bad dental advice from other dentists over the years and in less than a year, gave me a smile to be proud of. The man is a miracle worker and has a great chair side demeanor. Easy to talk to, non-judgmental and went way above and beyond what any other dentist would do to make me feel at ease. He is highly ethical in that he chose to save a couple of teeth rather than pull and put in much costlier replacements. Now my whole family goes to see him with the same positive experiences as well AND I refer all my friends to his practice too. The whole staff is great and this dentist is the best I have ever had. I really can’t believe anyone would rate anything except a 5 and it sounds like the bad experience isn’t even Dr. Sam’s fault! Great dental office, great hygienists, great dentist. Period.
