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."

Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Ellingsen "Dr. Ronald Ellingsen, known simply as Dr. Ron to his patients, truly loves his profession and is honored to practice orthodontics in this great area. Dr. Ron was fortunate to join his father's practice and work with him prior to Dr. Jim's retirement. Together they created a legacy of providing outstanding service and results that Dr. Ron continues today. Dr. Ron treats all his young patients as if they were his own children. Dr. Ron and his team have over 140 years of combined orthodontic experience that they use to ensure that every patient receives the individual care and treatment plan that is best for them. We believe that every patient deserves the highest standard of care and service. We attain this by treating every single patient with kindness and integrity and using the most up to date techniques and equipment available.
