Dr. Drake is a truly skilled and educated practitioner who cares wholeheartedly for her patients and their outcomes. I know very few providers who invest the time, energy, and care that she puts into her patient care. I strongly recommend Dr. Drake as a treatment provider for anyone who is in need of a periodontist.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sunny Drake when she was a third year periodontic resident and I a third year dental student at Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry. Aside from her being one of my mentors in the dental clinic, Dr. Drake was also the surgeon who placed implants in one of my patients.
Dr. Drake is a highly talented and skilled clinician, both in her skill as a surgeon and her doctor-patient interaction. She is extremely knowledgeable in both her specialty of periodontology as well as the other disciplines within dentistry. She is able to perform surgery with great finesse, unlike most other surgeons I have had the opportunity to work with. Dr. Drake also treats her patients with great compassion and respect. She educates the patient on what she is planning to do and why, and has a great ability to comfort a nervous or anxious patient, a skill that only comes with a doctor who truly cares about the patient and their well being.
I highly recommend Dr. Drake and would confidently refer my patients and family to her for their needs within her specialty of periodontics.

I’ve known Dr. Drake for many years and have had the opportunity to refer many patients to her for treatment. Not only is she a skilled practitioner, but she is a very kind and approachable person. She works closely with dental students and always makes sure these students are involved in the decision-making process regarding patient treatment. I would not hesitate for a moment to refer patients to Dr. Drake
