WSU Health Professions Student Center Dr. Rick Ellingsen, DDS  

My philosophy is to provide excellent quality orthodontic care in a kind, caring and fun atmosphere! The office provides a valuable service in an upbeat setting that makes people feel better about themselves and allows them to enjoy better dental health.

 

I earned both my doctor of dental surgery degree and my master’s degree at the University of Washington. I was awarded the Dean’s Club Award for outstanding academic achievement and student leadership by the University of Washington Dental Alumni Association in 1989.

In addition to memberships in several associations, I continue my education by participating in the Meridian Dental Study Club and the Spokane Orthodontic Study Club. I have also served as the Regional Editor of the PCSO.
