Dr. Garrison DePhillips was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. He earned his B.S. in General Biology from the University of Washington before attending the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco--the nation's only accelerated three-year dental program. During his program, Dr. DePhillips took a special interest in the pediatric and special needs clinic, even contributing to and editing chapters of the university's pediatric textbook. Through this work, he developed a patient-centered approach grounded in empathy, trust, and meaningful relationships--especially with those who experience dental anxiety. Whether it's preventive or cosmetic care, Dr. DePhillips is dedicated to helping every patient feel at ease, fully heard, and cared for every step of the way. Outside the office, Dr. DePhillips is an avid traveler and foodie. He's always on the lookout for his next destination--often discovered through travel blogs and shows. His favorite trips are those that combine dentistry with exploration, such as the summers he spent abroad providing care to underserved communities in the Philippines. When he's not planning his next adventure, you'll likely find him exploring the local food scene in search of the city's best new restaurants.
