Dr. Rogers has lived in Washington since 1986 and in Spokane since 1995, so he is no stranger to the

Science degree in biology. Dr. Rogers earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the
University Of Washington School Of Dentistry in 1990.
As an associate Dr. Rogers practiced general and cosmetic dentistry in Grandview and Richland,
Washington. He established his Spokane dentistry practice in 1995 where he offers Spokane family dentistry as well as cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Rogers also serves Spokane as a dedicated emergency dentist. He has worked as a clinical professor at Eastern Washington Dental Hygiene School and is currently an active member of several professional organizations, including:

Amanda
Amanda began her dental career in 1999 as a dental assistant and enjoyed meeting and working with the
patients so much she decided to expand her education to include dental hygiene. A Spokane native, she graduated from
Eastern Washington University with her Bachelor's degree in 2008. Since she had worked in our office as
a dental assistant while attending college, we knew we wanted this wonderful personality and very intelligent
young woman back in our practice. As a hygienist, Amanda enjoys educating her patients and seeing them improve
their oral health. Amanda and her husband, Adam, enjoy camping, traveling and working on their home and yard.

Garisha
Our dental assistant, Garisha, was born in North Carolina and raised in Tacoma, Washington and is
the oldest of six children, 3 boys and 3 girls (just like the Brady bunch). Garisha made her way
to the eastern side of the state via WSU where she played basketball on a full athletic scholarship
and earned a B.S. degree in Kinesiology. Plagued by shoulder injuries, she learned to shoot left
handed. Determined to keep playing basketball after college, Garisha moved to and lived in Copenhagen, Denmark
for 5 years and Malmo, Sweden for 2 years where she coached and played professional basketball (yes,
as a lefty) and learned to speak Danish and Swedish. Never using her degree, she went back to
school at SCC to become a dental assistant and has been very happy with her decision. In her spare
time she enjoys golfing, snowboarding, jet skiing, camping, traveling, playing video games and spending
time with her 3-legged dog, Ginger.

Kim
You'll love our hygienist, Kim. A third generation Spokane native, she attended Shadle Park High School
and earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from EWU in 2000. She finds it gratifying to
teach patients about hygiene and see them improve their oral health. "I've learned so much from my
patients; great recipes, parenting tips, gardening information and fun places to travel." In her spare time
she enjoys family time with her husband, Matt, and two children, Adam and Lauren. She and her husband own
Adelo's, a new take-n-bake pizza place in Spokane.

Linda
Linda, our southern belle by way of Texas, has about the most pleasant telephone voice you'll ever hear.
With a dental career that began in 1985 in Sandpoint, Idaho as dental assistant, then receptionist and now an
office manager, she can answer your insurance questions, assist you with financial arrangements, and take care of your scheduling needs. Linda's summer pleasures include gardening, riding her bicycle and
going for long walks in Manito Park with her Maltese dog, Fancy. In the winter she enjoys cooking, sewing,
reading a good book and playing the piano.
