Pediatric dentistry provides me a wonderful opportunity to impact children and parents at the earliest level, and I am excited to be a part of your familys health care. My focus is on earning the trust and confidence of your child, utilizing a compassionate and gentle chair side manner. I feel strongly that education, prevention and early detection are the keys to maintaining optimal oral health. Together we will create a fun and positive dental home that will grow with your child for years to come.~Laura Stewart, DDSDr. Laura Stewart was born and raised in Mount Vernon, Washington.
