Meet Our Doctor
Dr. Leif Gambee
“Our goal as a team is not to merely meet the needs of our patients, rather to exceed them. So many patients are fearful and also ashamed because of their dental condition. It is not for me to be judgmental; my role is to help people. And the best way for me to that is to attentively listen and respond to our patient’s feelings and needs.”
Dr. Adam Lysak
“I love empowering patients through education. I know dentistry can be scary, but it doesn’t need to be that way. My goal is to provide patients with an amazing experience and world-class dentistry that they can smile about.”

It was the best experience I have ever had going to the dentist the minute you walk in your treated like family the gal up front I think Miranda i could be wrong on the name but she's a sweet heart!! it's comforting especially if your anxious to see the dentist like I am! His assistant Adrian is the best! I highly recommend him being there he made the whole experience pleasant and laughs. The dentist is gentle and doesn't do anything you don't want done but he recommends and goes from there. I'm really excited for my next appointment. It was definitely worth the drive from John Day. Thank you three for my making an anxious visit the best visit. I look forward to seeing you all soon!!"

"Fantastic dentist and staff!! I have rarely felt comfortable at the dentist today was a different story and I certainly wasn't there for a teeth cleaning, extraction and bonegraph. Staff was insanely accommodating getting me in immediately. Very organized very well run office. Dr Leif and his assistance have incredible bedside manner. I like that they all shoot it very straight and keep you informed throughout the process. I moved to the area 2 years ago and I'm happy to say that I have found my dental home."

This made it so much easier to weigh my options and select the best one. Highly recommended!"

Some new staff and a few still here that worked for the previous dentists. But now I have seen both and I feel Dr. Gambee, the current dentist, and his staff are really doing a great job. I am perfectly satsfied with him and I still get to go to my favorite hygienist I had before."
