I grew up not far from Federal Way, in North Bend (of Twin Peaks fame). I studied biology at Carleton College in Minnesota, the first person in my family to attend college, and then attended dental school at Oregon Health and Science University. In 2013, I returned home to western Washington, where I worked as an associate until purchasing Dr. Stacy Kandas practice upon his retirement.
I have always wanted to own my own business and am honored to be trusted with your dental care. My philosophy has always been to treat patients the same way I would treat myself or a loved one. I enjoy getting to know a wide range of patients from all walks of life and establishing a long-term relationship with them. As a new business owner, my goal is for patients to feel welcomed and comfortablelike they are family.
I have a conservative approach to dental treatment, which is why I emphasize preventative care. I strive to empower patients to take the best possible care of their teeth and be active participants in their dental treatment. One reason I became a dentist is because Ive always enjoyed working with my hands. I pay attention to details and take the time to make sure each restoration is as durable, painless, and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
When Im not wearing my dentist hat, I love spending time with my wife, an editor; watching my adorable toddler explore the world; and playing with my goofy Australian cattle dog mutt. I am passionate about animals and volunteer at my local dog shelter when I can. I also enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures and foods; my most memorable recent trips have been to Japan and India.
Aaron has been in the dental field since 2017 and has been a dental hygienist since 2020. He is dedicated to providing gentle and thorough dental hygiene care with a strong emphasis on improving patients' home care techniques with in-chair education.
It is my pleasure to be part of the team here at Dan Roberts DMD.

I am always impressed by the kindness and dedication to excellence Dr. Roberts and our team display daily.When I am not in the office, my favorite time is spent in the company of my two grandsons.
I started working in dentistry in 2020. Each day, I welcome patients into the office and help explain and verify their insurance benefits. I enjoy meeting new people, helping patients understand their benefits, and connecting with people on a personal level. My favorite thing about working at Dan Roberts DMD is that we treat everyone with kindness and respect.
I began my career as a dental assistant in 2017. I enjoy meeting new people and having the opportunity to be a part of their dental care. I appreciate being part of the team at Dan Roberts DMD for the family-oriented atmosphere and focus on providing excellence in patient care.
