Dr. Yamates passion for dentistry developed when she was in grade school. Dentistry sparked her interest as she realized she could make a difference in someones day by repairing a painful toothache. She also loved how dentists can have a long-lasting relationship with their patients and getting to know them over the years. Even in high school she was already volunteering and paving way to enter dental school. Making a difference and helping her patients are her first priority!
In addition to traveling, Dr. Yamate enjoys playing Pokmon Go with her 7 year old nephew, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. She is also fond of all things Disney and is a big Seattle Mariner's fan.
