Dr. Ellingsen's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Ellingsen "I am a native of Spokane and grew up attending schools in the Mead District. I attended Washington State University for my undergraduate studies (Go Cougs!). I completed my dental degree and advanced orthodontic training at the University of Washington (Go Dawgs as long as you are not playing the Cougs!). I am proud to call North Spokane home where I not only practice but live and have raised my family of four great kids with the help of my high school sweetheart, Patty. I am truly invested in our community and I enjoy sponsoring youth sports organizations, local PTO's, food and school supplies drives, and many other events that benefit everyone who lives here! In 2016, I celebrated 25 years in practice and I still love what I do! It is fun and rewarding to see the changes that we make in the lives of our patients. I am passionate about orthodontics, and I love having the opportunity to share the benefits of a beautiful and healthy smile with my patients. I am a member of the American Association of Orthodontics, Washington State Dental Association, Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, Spokane District Dental Society and I am honored to serve as a member of the Spokane Craniofacial Review Board. My other passions include tennis and golf which I play whenever I get the opportunity. In the fall you will find me at the Cougar football home games or watching them on TV when they are away. I am also an avid Gonzaga basketball fan and enjoy watching all their games."
