Why Keizer families drive to East Salem

Keizer has dentists, so let's be honest about why you'd pass them. Three reasons our Keizer patients give us: hours that don't cost work time (7am weekday starts and Saturday appointments), same-day emergency slots when a tooth breaks or starts throbbing, and prices deliberately set about 20% below the typical office — with every fee in writing before treatment starts.

Add a bilingual team, no OHP waiting list, and free parking at the door, and the 12-minute drive down Salem Parkway starts looking pretty reasonable.
