Meet the Team

Dr. Branch and his team have fun working together and he feels fortunate to have had his staff working with him for many years. That long-term commitment and camaraderie means consistency of care for you and a staff that make you a priority.

Dr Branch

Dr. David Branch is a graduate and former clinical instructor at the University of Washington Dental School. Dr. Branch has a long record of serving not only his patients, but the community worldwide. Don’t be surprised if Dr. Branch asks you to donate your old gold crowns to P-Patch Trust. He may also regale you with stories from growing up in Hawaii, growing tomatoes in his P-Patch, or tagging butterflies in Eastern Washington — just to keep your mind off your mouth.

Dr. Craddock

Dr. David Craddock is a graduate of Ohio State University Dental School and practiced dentistry in Washington DC until he moved to Seattle in 1996. Born in Toronto, Canada but growing up in New York City, England, France and eventually Ohio, he’s happy to now be on the West coast raising his daughter and son. When not serving his patients with his caring, gentle approach to dentistry, Dr. Craddock is most often found at his kid’s soccer games, playing outdoors, or cooking great, healthy meals for family and friends.

Luli

Luli is the Office Manager and your insurance advocate. Luli knows the ins-and-outs of insurance plans and can help you maximize your benefits. Sometimes that means tracking down denied benefits and getting your insurance company to cover your care, or helping you plan the right timing based on your plan.

Heidi

Heidi is Dr. Branch’s dental assistant and they have worked together so long they’ve worked up a friendly banter to keep your mind off the fact that someone is poking around in your mouth. More importantly, Heidi anticipates your needs while in the chair while she assists Dr. Branch and Dr. Craddock.

Trina

Trina is the dental assistant in charge of making sure the office runs smoothly and efficiently for your visit. Trina is also our in-house “bleaching guru” and works with each patient directly to ensure a beautiful, bright smile.

Edie

Edie is a dental hygienist and focuses on making patients feel comfortable. She wants patients to look forward to coming back knowing that there is nothing to fear. Strange as it may sound, Edie thinks this job is fun!

Debbie

Debbie is a dental hygienist and enjoys working with each patient's individual oral health needs.  This may entail devising a personalized treatment plan to help each patient reach their optimum oral health.

Ruth

Ruth is a dental hygienist and enjoys working with patients starting from early childhood. Ruth is interested in teaching all patients the skills to maintain a healthy mouth for life.

The Office Mascot Chicken

 “I enjoy the office camaraderie. The light-hearted rapport among the staff helps relieve the anxiousness I feel (and I’m sure I’m not alone) about coming to the dentist. And they watch to see what my insurance covers, and when, so that I get the best use of it. It is a caring outfit.”
