When I was 16 years old a dentist changed my life. Simply by giving me a beautiful smile.My confidence, self-esteem and value for overallhealth and well being were dramatically impacted. Most important of all, fromthat day forward, I was inspiredto dedicate mylife to providing the same for others.

Dentistry is my calling. My passion.Iunderstand that it is not easy coming to the dentist. Many people want excellent dental health but fear of the dentist or lack of insurance or money or other barriers oftenget in the way. I believe that by listening to my patients, and seeking to understand THEIR goals,needs and concerns, we can work together to overcome any barriers and achieve their desired level of health.

The core value I am most proud of is my passion to be a lifelong learner. I am committed to studying the greatest teachers, masters, techniques and technologies in my profession.Thestate requires aminimum of 20-25 hours of continuing education per year.I believe we owe it to our patients to not be average, to notjust get the minimum, but to go above and beyond. It isnot unusual in any given year for me to have completed over 200 hours of CE. When my patients joke that I am a 'perfectionist', I take that as a compliment!!

I grew up a 'military brat' and moved coast to coast until I was 10, when my dad retired from the Navy and we moved to a small hobby farm in arural mountain town in Montana.As they say, 'you can take the girl out of Montana, but you can 't take the Montana out of the girl!'I married myhigh school sweetheart, Chad,in 1990 and weknewwe wanted to raiseour ownchildren with the same sense of community and love of nature and the outdoorsthatwe had growing up. Thus,when we had the opportunity to move to the Colville areain 1997, after I graduated from OHSU dental school in Portland, we jumped at the chance and have loved every minute since.

My husband Chad recently retired from the Colville Police Department and now enjoys his time as a Reserve Deputy for Stevens County. We are kept busy with our 'mini farm' and enjoy our beautiful property and many animals. We also love to travel and are big 'foodies' who will eat anything!We areso proud of our 5 children, Shayna, Sam, Anna, Spencer, Isabel and our son-in-law Danny. We look for every opportunity to spend time with all of them!

We are deeply grateful for our friendships here, and of coursethe many loyal patients that we have connected with over the past 20 years. Our team actively looks for opportunities to 'pay it forward' to other local organizations andbusinesses. One thing that gives me great joy isserving multiple generationsof the same families over the years. We have grandparents and great grandparentsand parents and children allfrom the same family in our office. And now those children are growing up and bringing intheirOWNchildren to see me. I suppose that just means I 'm getting old, haha, but I love it all the same!!Our entire team ispassionate about making our patients feel comforted and loved,as if they have found their own dental 'home' and are proud to share us with their friends and loved ones. I am truly blessed to work with such a talented and amazing team. As the saying goes... 'If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.'

Dr. Sitton is coming to us from Midwestern University Dental School in Phoenix Arizona. He graduated from Midwestern and was awarded and recognized for his work in digital dentistry including implants, digital dentures, digital same-day crowns, and more.

In his free time, Dr. Sitton enjoys adventuring with his wife Shayna, and his Doberman Pinschers Rajah, Orca, and Nike. They recently bought a few chickens and are building their first chicken coop. Staying fit and healthy is important to them and you can usually find him out for a run, on a hike or in the gym. In his downtime you can usually find him working on a dental-related project with textbooks and notes sprawled across his desk and YouTube how-to videos pulled up on his computer.

It is a privilege to offer thorough, advanced dental care with a personal touch. We strive to make each visit a positive experience, so the patient leaves with a happy smile and looksforward to returning. Its essential thatour patients know we offer gentle dentistry. Were here to help people improve their oral and overall health, as well as their smiles.

Being in private family practice allows me to develop caring, lasting relationships with my patients. Im able to get to know each on a personal level and strengthen our friendship over the years. I like caring for families, and watching the children grow, go off to college, marry, and bring their children to me. I enjoy talking with the adults and grandparents, to heartheir stories and sharesome of my own.

Im proud to be part of a practice where were created a welcoming, friendly environment. I want my patients to feel safe, heard, and valued. Working together, we find the care approach thatsright for their goals and needs, and Im able to deliver treatment tailored to each person.

My Doctorate of Dental Surgery was awarded by Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California. That education provided me with an excellent foundational knowledge of dentistry. However, this is a constantly changing field. Advances in techniques, as well as new technology and materials, can all benefit my patients and improve their results.

Each year I take many hours of continuing dental education. Ive recently completed a more than 300-hour dental implant course. Ive also taken many advanced classes in oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry. I want to offer my patients a range of quality care options, and continuing education allows me to do so.

After growing up in California, Ive happily called Elkmy home since 2004. My wifes name is Kim and together we have a grown son. When Im not caring for my patients, youll often find me working hard on our property: Were in the process of developing it into a small market farm.

As a result of living in the Colville/ Kettle Falls area my entire life, many of my patients are like family. My days are filled with wonderful conversations and treasured friendships. I provide chairside assistance to our team of doctors and have worked with Dr Fox since 1999. Im also our supply manager and the practice OSHA representative. I love working with an incredible team of doctors and coworkers. Were all passionate about gentle dentistry and helping people achieve their healthiest, best smile possible.

My husband Dave and our children Connor and Kennedy enjoy taking advantage of the many blessings that living in beautiful northeastern Washington provides. Usually tagging along on our adventures are our trusty yellow lab Tilly and our Chiweenie Murphy.

When Im not working, I love spending time with my husband Bruce. I have four sons, four granddaughters, several snowshoe Siamese cats, and a sweet black lab mix. I like to garden, sew, and craft, too.

I have provided chairside assistance during dental and oral surgery procedures for approximately 26 years. If you have questions concerning your treatment, I am the person to ask!. As one of our treatment coordinators, I like to help patients understand their care plan. It's important that you, as our patient, feel you have an advocate that understands your needs. In my free time at the office (wink, wink), Im our social media, website coordinator, and one of our community relations officers. You will find our office does several fun giveaway games, such as the NFL Super Bowl board, March Madness NCAA boards, and April Autism Awareness Month.

My family keeps me busy when Im not working. My husband Tony and I have three kids, Brittany, Jami, and Brady, along with three grandchildren: Braxton, Michael, and Caylee. My time outside the office is spent traveling, boating, and being active with the Kettle Falls Lady Lions. Im also a huge Tom Brady and NE Patriot fan!

I have worked in dentistry since 1991. In 2013, I returned to school to further my skills. I am now licensed to place fillings and further help our doctors so they may better serve our patients. I enjoy being able to help you achieve the beautiful, healthy, and functional smile you love.

My wonderful husband and I have two grown children, Scott and Amber. We love family time, camping, boating, and snowmobiling. I am originally from Canada and have just recently been awarded my American citizenship.

I became a Registered Dental Assistant in 2008 and gained several years of experience in dental assisting before joining Dr. Foxs team in 2020. I come to work excited every day to help patients meet their dental needs with compassion and integrity.

I am married with three children, two of whom graduated high school last year. I love playing outdoors such as side by side riding and gardening. One of my all-time favorite hobbies is sitting in a quiet place and reading a good book!

I graduated from Spokane Community Colleges EFDA program 20 years ago. While I really enjoy the technical aspects of my work like placing fillings and doing CEREC crowns, what I love the most is the personal relationships Ive built with our patients and my coworkers. I feel respected and appreciated every day!

As part of our clinical team, I keep the office clean and organized, sterilize our equipment, and support my coworkers by assisting them in any way I can. The people that I work with are wonderful, kind, and supportive of one another and our patients. There is no negativity in the office. Everyone goes out of their way to help each other and show each other kindness and understanding. It's an incredibly positive environment to work in!

I graduated from Loma Linda School of Dentistry in California in 2001. I worked in southern California for 16 years in several dental offices before moving with my husband and two girls to Colville in the fall of 2017. The best part of my job is having the opportunity to work with patients on a one-on-one basis. I love meeting new patients just as much as I love to see reoccurring ones! I love our dental family and am so happy to be a part of it.

My husband Mark and I, along with our two daughters, Eliana and Sabrina, love it here in Colville. So far, we enjoy the winters and we like to snow ski, and sled just outside our house. We love all the beauty and wildlife around, and have befriended deer, a mallard duck, and rabbit, not to mention our beloved pets, Molly the cat, and seven chickens. I like to go on walks, read, and am involved with my church in Kettle Falls and with my daughters school, Colville Valley Junior Academy.

I have been a dental hygienist for more than 15 years, having taken advanced education in laser technology, dental caries, and dental aesthetics. My goal when working with patients is to help them feel better, not only about their oral health, but also the beauty of their smiles. I work hard to create a positive environment where patients feel safe and comfortable talking with me about all their oral health and wellness concerns.

I have two young kiddos, as well as a horse and pony, two little dogs, a cat, and a fish tank. When Im not taking care of our zoo, I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, whether Im hiking, horse riding, skiing, ice skating, playing pickle ball/tennis, or learning my newest hobbygolfing! If that wasnt enough, I also have a side business as a health coach for an optimal health program.

I hold a bachelors degree in dental hygiene and joined Dr. Foxs team in 2019. My job allows me to meet new and interesting people from the community and surrounding area, and because of that, I learn something new every day! I love working with everyone in this office; they are all wonderful people who truly care about our patients and the community

I am married and we have two dogs and a cat. I spend most of my free time having fun with my family. Some of my favorite activities include hiking, video games, traveling, horseback riding, and kayaking.

I am married to my best friend and I have two grown children. I live way out in the country on top of a mountain, paradise! We enjoy hiking and kayaking with our dogs, Stella and Wyatt. When the weather is good, we hop on our motorcycle for an afternoon ride. I enjoy working out in my flower garden with my two pet chickens; its my happy place for sure!
