Lake Oswego Family Dentistry

If you have any kind of serious illness, I recommend you seek another provider. My dentist retired and I waited weeks to get an initial appointment with this clinic. Unfortunately, my use of a supplement had created several small cavities. I met with Dr. Carrie Laird and she was somewhat trepidatious about working with me, given my health history, but when I assured her it had never affected my dental care she agreed to take me on as a patient. Imagine my surprise when the following week I received a phone call - not from Dr. Laird - but from one of her assistants I had never met telling me that they’d held an office meeting and voted not to take me on as a patient. It would be one thing if Dr. Laird had called to tell me she wasn’t comfortable - that would have been the professional, and kind, thing to do. To add insult to injury, they kept saying they were doing it for my benefit so I could go to a holistic provider. This left me with a rare illness, no dentist, work that needed to be performed, and no referral from a practice that decided that I was a liability. As a person with a disability, this was one of the most humiliating experiences I have ever had to endure at the hands of someone who was supposed to help me. I am not a person who lacks confidence but being treated like an Untouchable was a kick in the gut. In the interest of full disclosure this actually happened to me a couple of years ago and I am finally at the point where I can write about it objectively. Also, I asked them to send the X-rays they took to Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego (who are absolutely wonderful) and they were all but unusable in the format they chose to use, over my objections. Just, as a family member says, a piece of work!

I’ve gotten two cleanings and one filling there and they’re 10/10. I’m very scared and get very anxious when going to the dentist. But I’m so happy I’ve found a dentistry where all the staff is so friendly, kind and empathetic to my nervousness. Thank you so much.

These guys are great and they always use plenty of novocaine. Seriously though, Dr. Strauch is fantastic as are all of the staff members that I have encountered.

I am so lucky to find Dr. Carrie Laird and to have her as my dentist for the last 10 years. My husband and kids they go to her also. Dr. Laird worked recently on whitening my teeth using the ZOOM system, I LOVE THE RESULTt!!! Also performed couple crowns on the most visible teeth in my mouth, the front upper two and now they looks AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you Dr. Laird!

I cannot thank Dr. Strauch enough for everything she has done for my mother. The quality care and communication were completely unmatched, and my mother has been treated with love and respect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you so much.

I work with dentists for a living. There are lots of good dentists out there but you'll be hard pressed to find a better, kinder, more pleasant group to take care of your smile. The docs are highly skilled as well. I strongly recommend this office.

I wish there was an option to give more than five stars! Dr. Carrie Laird and her staff are incredible. This was my first positive dentist experience of my life, and I couldn't recommend this office more highly. I was there for my first cleaning in a couple years (due to moving around the country a lot), so it was a longer appointment. Maggie (my hygienist) and Dr. Laird, walked me through everything to let me know what we were going to be doing next and what it would feel like. I've never had a staff be so thorough with letting the patient know what was going on; they usually just start poking around in there, while attempting to get you to talk about your weekend. Classic. Dr. Laird was bright, charming, kind and very intelligent. She presented me with options, and wasn't pushy to get you to do whatever she felt was the best option. She left it up to you, as the patient. Her staff is warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. Look no further. This is the dental office for you.

Always a great experience! Love Dr. Laird but Sarah, my hygienist........, love having my teeth cleaned, it’s just like catching up with a dear friend and leaving with a shiny smile. I would trust no one else with my mouth!🦷❣️

I've been Dr. Laird's patient for quite a few years. She's not only a true professional, but she's also warm and friendly. The technicians are kind and proficient, and the equipment is state of the art. You can't go wrong by choosing Lake Oswego Family Dentistry as your dental provider!

Fantastic office, they always take care of everything and demonstrate that unique balance of patient care and advanced medical knowledge that puts one immediately at ease. They also aren't reactionary in their recommendations, but more "consultive" and educational in approach, which I especially appreciate.

I'm so glad I found them. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain things and seem to take a genuine interest in their patients.

Delightful experience at the dentist. Staff is super friendly and highly skilled.

Dr. Lisa Strauch is awesome! Everyone in the office is super friendly as well as super skilled - figuring out insurance, teeth cleaning, root canals all runs smooth and painlessly. Never thought I'd actually look forward to a dentist visit!

Friendly, competent, caring staff and care givers. Dr. Laird is thoughtful and knowledgeable, explains all options when some work may be needed. Erin is an excellent hygienist. Everyone in the office makes the patient feel comfortable and confident. A good place to go if you are looking for a great team of staff and providers who have the skills and knowledge needed.

Dr Carrie Laird’s office is always pleasant and efficient. Just in for routine exam and cleaning. Sarah did a great painless cleaning and always love how smooth my teeth feel again. Luckily no addition work was needed so I’ll be back in 6 months.

Both Dr. Laird and Dr. Strauch are excellent. Always a warm reception and the hygienists are friendly. 5 stars!

Dr. Laird and her staff provide caring and competent service consistently. They pay attention to my needs and always make me feel comfortable and welcome. Over the years, they have made me feel like one of the family. They are great!

I love Lake Oswego Family Dentistry. The staff is so nice and caring and Dr. Laird is amazing. She really puts her patient's care and comfort first. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental care.

Exceptionally competent, trustworthy, and friendly. My whole family finally found a dentist we love going to.

I always have a great experience at their office. I needed a filling replaced and Dr. Lisa Strauch and her team did it in no time and with no pain. They are always professional and positive and work hard to make being there a wonderful experience. They are awesome!
