Meet Our Pediatric Dentist in Vancouver, WA

When parents tell me their kids look forward to coming to the office, I know I have done my job well. I want all children to feel safe and comfortable and for parents to participate in managing their child’s dental healthcare. I make it a priority to listen to parents and understand their concerns by focusing on one-on-one conversations. Over the years, I have enjoyed watching children grow and relish the experiences I have.

Growing up back east in Baltimore, Maryland, I have always been a coastal person and fell in love with the opportunity to live in the Pacific Northwest after my first visit to the annual Pediatric Dental Conference.

I attended undergraduate school in Maryland, and after working a few years in laboratory research, graduated from Tufts Dental School of Dental Medicine in Boston. After working with children, I narrowed my love to this clinical experience and applied to a specialty training for pediatric dentistry at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM). I am board certified and a fellow in pediatric dentistry. I focus on learning and keeping updated with the newest procedures pediatric dentistry has to offer.

Thank you for choosing our office, and I look forward to the opportunity to treat your children.

Vanessa has been working at this office since January 16, 2006, which was the day the office first opened! She worked full time until 2014, then moved to part time. She currently only works on Mondays or other occasional days to help cover staff vacation days. Vanessa enjoys working closely with Dr. Pam and loves helping the kids who come in as she loves the jokes and stories they tell. She has been able to work with some families for many years. She enjoys building good relationships with patients, helping make their visits easier and more comfortable, using humor and down-to-earth suggestions to improve their experiences at this office and hopefully inspiring them to take good care of their teeth at home. Vanessa loves the team at this office, and she thinks everyone works well together and strives to help every patient have the best possible experience. The entire team has fun during the workdays and when they have team building events, it is a blast! She says it is really a group effort, from the front office to the back office and everything in between, and she could not pick a better place to work.

Vanessa and her husband have five children. She has three older stepchildren, who are all grown and out of the house, 16- and 7-year-old sons and a sweet rescue dog named Ruger, whose mission in life is to give kisses and ferociously chase squirrels out of her backyard. Her family is a “Yours, Mine and Ours” situation and she could not love her family any more. When Vanessa is not at work, you can find her volunteering and working as a substitute teacher at her boys’ school, helping at their church, taking Ruger for a walk, watching Star Trek (she is a huge sci-fi nerd) or cooking something yummy in her kitchen. She loves to have friends and family over to eat good food and fill her home with laughter.
