Advice to Management

Sometimes there is a disconnect between upper management and those at the office level. The communication isn't always there and polices get enforced and rolled out without a lot of explaining, causing lots of errors. It would be nice if memos are reviewed prior to rolling out as the office end up finding issues. The specialty field also seems to need a lot of improvement. Availability for patients is very limited in most areas.

Pros

Dr. Skourtes truly thinks of the employees well being. He does his best to ensure that Willamette Dental is THE employer of choice.

Advice to Management

Just keep up the great work!

Pros

I love the evidence based dentistry, I love that Willamette focuses on prevention and unlike a lot of private organizations, doesn't strive to "pull money from patients". I love the family that is WDG! I have made the most amazing, lifelong friendships with people through the company. I am excited to come to work daily.

Pros

Advice to Management

Support Management as much as every other employee!

Pros

The company really strives in every way to focus on prevention of dental issues, rather than reaction to dental issues. They care about their patients and work hard to guarantee continuity of care, as far as seeing the same provider every time a patient is seen. They are innovative when it comes to patient care. They care about their employees as well, working hard to listen to their needs and desires and providing both positive and critical feedback that helps in patient care. When my work schedule of 4-10's wasn't working with my home life, they worked hard to ensure that a switch to 5-8's would work with the office schedules, as well as my own. My office also really focuses on good teambuilding activities and fun; we've really become a family and work very well together. This company does have a lot of opportunity, as long as there is someone else to cover what you're leaving empty.

Advice to Management

Listen to and trust your providers and employees. Most of us use our best judgment in difficult cases and don't just do things because it's the easy way out.

Pros

Great investment in employee growth and development. Nice healthcare. The team is amazing

Advice to Management

When asking employees how they can support you better please follow through with what the employee is needing.
