Meet the Team

One of the goals of our website is to provide you with an extension of care. As you navigate through the site you will find a wealth of information about dentistry, tooth care, procedures and treatments. We believe our patients deserve to have the information needed to make wise choices about their oral health. There is an overview of our practice including our doctor(s) and staff, office hours, insurance and appointment procedures, maps, directions and contact information.

As a licensed Dentist in Spokane Valley, WA we work with our patients so they can achieve and maintain a beautiful smile and healthier gums and teeth. We take the time with our patients to explain their treatment options and inform them of additional preventative care. We feel this will lead to more trusting doctor/patient relationship and, for many people, relieve the stress about seeing a dentist.

We take pride in providing you with a comfortable office experience where our qualified staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Our main office is conveniently located in Spokane Valley, WA and we invite you to call with any questions or email us via the contact form of our website. We will do everything possible to ensure you a pleasant visit.

Kelsey – Registered Dental Hygienist

Hello! My name is Kelsey Lopez and I’m a dental hygienist at Spokane Family Dental located in Spokane Valley. I was born in California and raised in Coeur d’Alene. I graduated from CHS and attended North Idaho College, where I earned my associate degree in Business Administration. I began job shadowing in dental offices, and it was at that point when I decided I wanted to pursue a career in dental hygiene.

I married my high school sweetheart, Mason, in 2014 and after only one year of marriage, we moved to Portland, OR so I could attend dental hygiene school! I graduated in August of 2017 with honors and after that we packed up and moved back to Idaho. In that next year we got a dog, Harvey, bought a house, and decided to start our family. We now have a bouncing, baby boy named Zander and he’s the light of our life! Being a member of the team at Spokane Family Dental has been amazing! I’m so grateful for my “work family” and look forward to helping our community smile again!
