I love my patients. I feel honored that my patients allow me to be their caregiver and consider me, in some instances, like a family member. I am privileged to be a part of their lives and a part of their journeys to healthy smiles and better lives. Dr. David Stinchfield

Dr. Dave sees himself not just as a dental services provider, but as someone who is here to assist his patients in achieving their dental goals. His role is to provide the patient with the dental care and treatment options that will achieve his or her desired results, and answer any questions and offer the information that each patient needs in order to make educated decisions.

Dr. Dave is passionate about pursuing continuing education in his professional field. In addition, he is an instructor for CEREC CAD-CAM restorations and an area instructor for the Solea laser. He regularly takes courses in implant surgery, restoration, and orthodontics, knowing the importance of staying at the front of dental technology and advances in treatment options. Because he takes continuing education coursework, Dr. Dave is able to offer his dental patients the most effective, proven dental treatment options.

Dr. Dave lives in Washougal, WA, along with his wife Adina. The couple has four grown children and a grand-daughter. While time with his family is always a priority, Dr. Dave is also passionate about staying active. He enjoys the outdoors and escaping to the beautiful Columbia Gorge, where he runs countless miles. He competes in 30-, 50-, 100- and yes, 200-mile races.

Also active in the community, Dr. Dave is honored to sponsor the Washougal Schools Foundation Stride for Education each year. Additionally, he and Dr. Tom visit local elementary schools to teach the students how to properly take care of their teeth and about the importance of good oral hygiene.

I am constantly amazed at the difference that quality dental care can make in an individuals confidence and self-perception, and I am grateful to be an integral part of that process. Dr. Tom Stinchfield

Dr. Tom S. Stinchfield is passionate about his work as a dentist. He loves how he is able to make a difference in his patients' lives through gentle, effective dental care and treatments. More than that, though, he thrives on the personal interactions with his patients, getting to know each person as an individual who has a life far beyond the treatment chair. Dr. Tom enjoys his time talking with his patients, catching up on the happenings in their lives, and sharing stories, jokes, and laughter. He has a great rapport with his patients, and sets them at ease during treatments. He is always available to answer questions, discuss treatment processes and options, and reassure those who are feeling a bit intimidated.

Prior to joining Discovery Dental, Dr. Tom served as a dentist in the U.S. Navy, in San Diego, CA, and in Okinawa, Japan. He speaks highly of the chance to serve those military personnel who protect our country and what an honor it was to provide the dental care they needed.

A strong believer in the importance of continuing education in the dental field, Dr. Tom pursues coursework in sleep apnea, orthodontics, and CEREC. He knows the importance of staying current on all new technologies and proven dental treatments, processes, and options; this allows him to better serve his dental patients and provide them with the dental care that they seek, using the best materials and techniques.

Residents of Washougal, WA, Dr. Tom and his wife Tracey have three children: a son named Hayden and two daughters, Danica and Alyssa. They have a Boston terrier, Rogue, and a beagle named Mack, often seentrailing the family wherever they go. Dr. Tom loves to stay physically active. He enjoys cross-fit, biking, running, and is an avid rock climber. However, his favorite times are those spent at home with his family.

'Growing up in Vancouver I knew at an early age I wanted to work in the health field, and throughout my educational journey I found my calling in being a Dentist. I believe in treating my patients with integrity, serving those in the community, and striving for excellence in all that I do. I feel passionately about continuing my education and continually work towards learning how to provide the best care possible for all that I treat. I look forward to providing the people of SW Washington with the best care possible.' Dr. Joe

Dr. Joe is not only passionate about practicing excellent dentistry, but he is passionate about serving in his community. He has served as a volunteer dentist for National Children's Dental Health Month and Clark College School of Dental Hygiene, providing treatment for underprivileged youth and their parents. Like Dr. Dave and Dr. Tom, he has given his time to educate children at local library and preschool settings.

Early in his dental career, Dr. Joe served in the US Air Force, providing dental care for active duty members of the 27th Special Operations Wing. He continues to serve through the US Air Force Reserve, dedicating one weekend a month to comprehensive care for members of the 446th Air Force Wing at Joint Base Lewis McChord.

Aside from his military service and dental career, Dr. Joe finds time to stay active and promote overall health and wellness. He enjoys intramural volleyball, serving as Captain of an OHSU and Air Force Intramural Volleyball team. He has almost 20 years of swim coaching experience and triathlete training. He is an advanced violinist, having played since he was five years old and is also fluent in Spanish.

Dr. Joe believes in continuing his dental education and training, pursuing coursework in implant placement and restoration, sleep apnea, oral surgery, Solea laser and CEREC technology. In accordance with the vision at Discovery Dental, he understands the importance of staying current on all new technologies, enabling him to better serve his dental patients and provide them with the dental care that they seek, using the best materials and techniques.

Dr. Joe grew up locally and is the middle son of five boys. He loves to travel, having visited almost every state in the US and lived in Southern Spain for two years as a missionary. He has played the violin since childhood and even had the opportunity to play the national anthem at the Rose Garden and multiple Air Force bases. Dr. Joe is an avid swimmer and has taught swim lessons for over 20 years, and also loves volleyball, basketball and other outdoor activities.

My experience at Discovery Dental was one of the most thorough, friendly, and enjoyable dentist appointments I've had! I chose Discovery because of their beautiful building, and I was not disappointed. I received a tour during my first appointment and was amazed by the in-house laboratories and wide array of dental tech/machines. The staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable - I've never learned so much at the dentist before! I highly recommend this dentist!

I had an exceptional experience at Discovery Dental. The last dental office I tried, well, we went together like toothpaste and orange juice--yuck! But Dr. Joe is kind, thorough, reassuring, and provides you with a care plan that puts your well-being first. And he uses new technology for for faster, better care. I've found my dentist!

When I entered Discovery Dental I was immediately struck by the human side of their practice as evinced by humorous signs and phrases. (E.g. "My dentist said I needed a crown, and I'm like, "Right!?"") The office staff was friendly, personable, and distinctly individual. The overall building has an extremely professional atmosphere. After filling out my forms I was taken on a tour of the facilities. Very impressive. Clearly the team set out to reach the highest marks in technology, skill, culture, and customer service, and in my humble opinion, they achieved it! Having received skilled dental care in places like Buenos Aires, Seattle, and Dallas, I've yet to see the level of digital fluency and care as that of Discovery. Right here in Washougal! Couldn't be more pleased and grateful.

My 4 year old had a not so fun experience at a different office having to have 2 teeth pulled at the age of 2. She was scared to go to the dentist for her first cleaning, but, Discovery Dental made the visit so easy and positive. Connie was caring, encouraging, and broke down the whole appointment in a way a 4 year old can comprehend. I was so pleased to hear that my daughter thought the appointment was fun when she was done. I highly recommend Discovery Dental if you are looking for honest and caring professionals to take care of your and your families smiles.

From the moment I walked in the door, the kind, helpful and thoughtful staff at Discovery Dental knew my name, checked me in, and notified my Hygentist I was waiting in the lobby and did so with a gentle smile. My Hygentist, Alicia, brought me back in a cheerful manner, despite it being 7:30am. She had a very kind disposition and after getting me settled in and comfy, she went about her work very efficiently and with a light touch - no painful grinding of instruments - just a careful and thoughtful scrape here and there. With some minor chit chat, we talked about small things that took my mind off any normal discomforts from being captive in a dental chair. When she was done, Dr. Tom gave me a quick check-up, and I was on my way, with appointment in hand for my next trip to this awesome dental office. I'm actually looking forward to my next cleaning with Alicia.
