Dr. Tucker
Dr. Tucker grew up in Colorado, where he developed a love for both science and language, earning degrees in Biology and Spanish from Colorado State University. He went on to earn his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, setting the stage for a career dedicated to helping others.
After dental school, Dr. Tucker and his wife made a big move to the Okanogan Valley in Washington, where they spent four years caring for underserved communities. It was there, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the warmth of its people, that Dr. Tucker truly fell in love with Washington.
Dr. Tucker believes dentistry is about more than teeth—it’s about trust, communication, and helping people feel at ease. He understands that a visit to the dentist can be stressful for many, and he makes it his mission to ensure every patient feels heard, informed, and comfortable. He takes the time to listen to concerns, explain what he sees, and explore all available options, so each person can make confident decisions about their oral health.
Now serving the Spokane community, Dr. Tucker loves helping patients maintain healthy smiles or restore ones they’ve lost. Outside the office, he cherishes time with his wife and two daughters and enjoys exploring the beauty of Washington on his road bike. For Dr. Tucker, dentistry is not just a profession—it’s a way to connect with people, build relationships, and make a positive impact, one smile at a time.

Kali is our newest dental assistant, and she brings a bright, positive energy to the office. She’s currently enrolled in the Running Start program, earning college credit while completing high school, and her enthusiasm for learning makes her a great fit for dentistry.
Outside of work and school, Kali is a dedicated gymnast. The focus and discipline she’s developed through the sport show in the care and attention she gives to patients each day.
As she grows in her dental career, patients appreciate her warm smile, calm presence, and willingness to jump in and help wherever she’s needed.
Joelle
Front Desk
Joelle is the friendly face patients first meet when they walk through our doors. With a natural talent for putting people at ease, she helps keep our schedule running smoothly while making sure every patient feels cared for and supported.
Originally from the Spokane area, Joelle loves building genuine connections with our patients and is always happy to help with questions about appointments, insurance, or treatment planning.
Outside the office, Joelle enjoys spending time with her family on the lake, reading her next novel, and planning her next weekend getaway.
Diane
Hygienist
Diane grew up right here in Spokane and later attended dental hygiene school in California, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene.
Patients appreciate Diane’s calming personality and the way she helps them feel relaxed and comfortable during their visits. Her gentle approach and genuine care make every appointment feel easier.
When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Diane enjoying a good book or traveling to visit her daughters in Hollywood, New York City, and Liberty Lake.
