As a dentist, my goal is to provide high-quality, modern, and compassionate dental care. I strive to make every visit and each procedure timely, affordable, and comfortable. Patients deserve dental treatment that not only improves their oral health but keeps them smiling while theyre in the chair!
I enjoy serving our diverse and dynamic community, and have a special consideration for those people who are part of the military family. Our patients bring wonderful stories, adventures, and experiences to the practice, and I appreciate being included in their lives.
Dentistry is a constantly changing field: developments in techniques, materials, and technology occur at a rapid pace, and its up to me to stay current on the changes. Through continuing education, including seminars, conferences, and lectures, I stay abreast of new developments.
My greatest blessing and accomplishment is Mihaela, my wife since 1990, and two grown children. When Im not working, I like to travel andski, and I am trying to learn how to play golf.Its taking significantly longer than I expected!
I enjoy welcoming new patients and catching up with those weve been seeing for awhile. We have an amazing staff here.Everyone is supportive andfriendly, and genuinely cares about our patients as people. I started working in the dental field in 2010as an assistant, and joined our team in 2012.
I enjoy meeting and learning about our patients. I love buildingrelationships with our patients and treating them like family. I have been with this practice since 2021 and I love my co-workers. I have been in the dental field since 2019 and a Registered Dental Assistant for three years. I have been at this practice since 2021.
To be a hygienist is more than a 'dental janitor' or 'tooth fairy'. We all have heard a multitude of stereotypes and some are so true that you can 't help but laugh. So as a hygienist, I confidently agree to disagree, but with a smile. Each patient is unique which means there is no cookie cutter patient treatment plan that fits all. With that said, staying up to date with every advancing technology and modern techniques is important for optimal patient care.
Choosing a dental office can be an endeavor and looking for the right dental home is an investment that requires trust earned over time. Building rapport with each patient is more than a conversation but an understanding of them as a whole. This allows us as a dental team to hone in on each patient collectively and not as a case subject. I personally believe that treatment performed should be nothing less than treatment expected toreceive. With this in mind, I aim to make each patient comfortable, motivated and knowledgeable to their specific dental goals.
I enjoy working with our knowledgeable, fun, and caring staff, along with our wonderful doctors, as we provide optimal care. We have a compassionate environment and are devoted to patient comfort and wellbeing. My experience in the field started in 2002 and I joined our team in 2007. This is, simply put, the best practice!
I 'm from Ohio, moved to Washington in 2020. I 've been at this practice for about 1.5 years, but I have been in dentistry for over 9 years. I also do real estate/mortgage loans and have a rental home back home in Ohio. I grew up on a farm, in the middle of nowhere, so moving here has definitely been a change but I love it! I love our practice because we 're like one big family, so it feels like a home away from home rather than just 'work.' I enjoy getting to know all of our patients and meeting tons of new people! Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and basically anything outdoors! Hiking, hunting, fishing, etc. :)
I look forward to coming towork. This is my second home, and our doctors, team members, and patients feel like part of my extended family! After starting in the field in 1985, I joined Airway Heights Dental Center in 2009 and immediately knew I was in the right place. Everyone here is kind andgentle, and makes sure each patient is provided with excellent care.
I enjoy talking with and getting to know patients and their families. Everyone has stories to share, and I am always happy to hear their latest news and whats happening in their world. I started here back in 1978as a dental assistant, and have loved every day. We have wonderful doctors, a compassionate team, and a friendly environment.
My time off is spent volunteering with my church, experimenting in the kitchen, quilting, gardening, and meeting with my book club.Our son and his wife, who live in Pullman, are our constant joys, and we treasure time with them.
