For this reason, our state-of-the-art facility meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they were family.
Both the Compassion Clinic and Tooth Taxi are similar in that they serve and provide free dentistry to those in need in the greater Portland area. They rely on local dentists, hygienists and assistants to provide these services. We feel it is our duty and honor to lend our expertise to help support the underserved community.
We were first introduced to the Foundation for Retinal Research by one of our patients, who is an amazing young lady, and is affected by this retinal degenerative disease. Once you meet her you can't help but want to be involved. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the research being conducted to find a cure. One of the amazing aspects of this organization is that her DNA is being used to conduct the research!
2014 was our inaugural year supporting the Chelsea Hicks Foundation. This wonderful organization collects unused children 's costumes to give to children 'living' at Doernbecher Children 's Hospital. It helps them play, laugh, and be kids as they face their journey to recovery. We are excited to continue to support them in the future!
Every year, in the month of December, we host a toy drive. We encourage staff, patients and people in the community to donate toys for children who may not otherwise get a special gift on Christmas morning. In 2014, an inspirational young lady, who's birthday happens to be in December, encouraged her party guests to bring toys for our offices' toy drive instead of for herself. We are so blessed to have such incredible people be a part of our patient family! We donated the toy's to #158 Tigard American Legion, who not only wraps and delivers these toys, but also provides other invaluable services to Veteran's and their families.
We host food drives typically in November, but also during the summer months, when local community centers and shelters are in the most need of food donations. We strive to support the Good Neighbor Center of Tigard whenever possible. They not only help homeless families by providing a place to stay, but also give them the tools for success in the future. They have programs ranging from assisting in job placement, housing subsidy, and after school tutoring and summer camps for kids. They do an amazing job empowering people!
Whether helping locally or globally, it is a cornerstone of what we believe in at Q Family Dental. We encourage support in any or all of the charities we are involved with, or one you feel passionate about. Even a little help can make a big difference!

Her gentle technique and amazing attention to detail keep our patients smiling (quite literally!) She provides the best dental hygiene care and patient education available. Kelli has finished marathons in Portland, San Francisco and Eugene. She has been mentoring junior high and high school students for over ten years. Kelli has spent time doing humanitarian work in Mexico, Nicaragua and here in our local community.

Our business manager and the wife of Dr. Gebeau, Tara has worked in the dental profession for over 10 years and is happy to help answer any questions you may have.
