ABOUT ME
Dr. Lau says, “There is an instant gratification component with dentistry. Rather than working on a project for months and not knowing whether it will come to fruition. You know that you have made an impact that same day. People can leave your office in better shape than they came in. Either by helping them get out of pain, helping them maintain good oral health, or putting together a plan to get them on the right track.”

Dr. Lau feels Dentistry combines creative artistry with the fundamentals of science and sees every day as an opportunity to connect with his patients and build relationships resulting in healthy smiles.

After graduating with a B.S in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Lau received his Dental Degree from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.

Dr. Lau says, “My free time is spent exploring all the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. I love hiking, running, and biking out here. Minnesota is very FLAT in comparison and I love the mountains.”

ABOUT ME
Dr. Pham says, “There are so many things I love about this profession that it’s hard to just pick one! However, I can easily say that I am flooded with joy when seeing a smile on my patient’s face whether it be after relieving them of dental pain, transforming their smile, or just having a pleasant conversation with them. Dentistry has had a huge impact on my life and to be able to bring that to others to give back means the world to me.”

“In undergrad, I volunteered with a dentist on a bus in the middle of nowhere providing free dental services to those who were unable to receive care. It was by far the most rewarding and most fascinating experience I had ever had. The patients were so grateful that the dentist was able to help them and even just listen to them. It was right then and there that I knew that I wanted to be a dentist.”

After graduating from the University of Florida, Dr. Pham received her Dental Degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry. To keep up with evolving technology, she’s a member of the American Dental Education Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Association for Women Dentists.

“I have just recently moved to the great state of Washington from sunny Florida and am so honored to be treating a community that is so welcoming, diverse, and lively!”
