He worked for a short time as a civil engineer in both Las Vegas, NV and Houston, TX. However, his love for dentistry began during a dental mission trip to war torn Bosnia and Herzegovina. His involvement with the mission sparked a passion for educating, treating and caring for patients. Soon thereafter he started his dental education, earning his Doctorate degree in Dental Surgery at the University of Texas, School of Dentistry in Houston, Texas.
When not in the office you can find Dr. J spending time with his beautiful wife, three small children and their dog. In his rare spare time, he loves to travel and learn about different cultures, cook, and explore the mountains.

Love this place. Super professional. Cleanest dental office I've been to. I hate shots...surprisingly these didn't even hurt. Can't say enough great things about this dentist office front front staff to back.

The staff strikes a balance by being both friendly and professional. They always make us feel welcome and appreciated. They listen to our needs and are helpful without being overbearing. They don't make me feel embarrassed or ashamed of less than ideal dental hygiene habits like other dentists have. I highly recommend Family Dentistry for both adults and children.

Everyone is super friendly! And it's a very clean atmosphere. The dentist is down to earth but very knowledgeable and kind. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist office to call home for the few years we are in WA.
