I thought my career path was set following high school. I was to go to college, study engineering, obtain a job, and follow my 5-year plan. Math and science were my strong subjects, and I enjoyed understanding how complex things worked, so of course, I had confidence that engineering would be the perfect fit. Confidence that did not prove to be a path meant for me. I found a job and was quickly laid off due to the companys economic concerns. I moved on to another job but quickly found that was all they were to me, just a job. They were good jobs, but they didnt feel right, and I was not in control of my own destiny. I just didnt have the passion I thought I would in engineering. As I started to ponder where to go from there, I found myself in the waiting room of my new dentist. I was intrigued by the brochures and informational videos explaining the dental procedures of root canals, crowns, and implants. Upon meeting the dentist, I was impressed. He was willing to take the time to talk to me, get to know why I was coming to his office and how good dental health could impact me. He opened my eyes to see that his job was much more than just cleaning and fixing teeth; it was much more. It created excitement and willingness to return to school for a new career. Being a dentist means that fixing someones tooth, smile, or educating on better dental hygiene can make a lasting impact on their lives. I have the opportunity to treat patients the way they deserve to be treated with integrity and a commitment to their satisfaction.

New patient and first time I was there, Doctor and staff were great. First impression was good, rescheduled for some lost filling repair. Think I've found my dentist.

Dental staff is friendly. But if you need to cancel or reschedule the front desk has an attitude. Huge turn off for me.

Dr. Wasco is very friendly and informative. Always explains what he is doing during procedures and what is necessary for your teeth and smile to be their best. Also employs hygienists who know their stuff and are pleasant while you are in the chair. Good job guys and ladies!!

A very professional atmosphere along with a kind & thoughtful staff makes Wasco Family Dental an easy decision to lay back & relax. Definitely would recommend to a friend.

First visit and was pleased to see Erin as my dental hygienist. I was dissatisfied with my previous dentist as my cleaning appointments were cancelled regularly and would have to reschedule. Really liked Dr. Wasco and appreciated his taking the time to present my treatment options. I would definitely recommend.
