Meet Our Doctor

David C. Spokane, DMD, MS
I enjoy practicing orthodontics and having the opportunity to create beautiful smiles. The challenges of a really difficult case allow me the thrill of watching the excitement in patients’ faces when their braces come off. I love when the little kids hug me, bring me cookies, draw me cards, and send me emails. I truly feel like I’ve made a positive difference in their lives.

Education and Continuing Education
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with my Bachelor of Science degree before continuing on to their School of Dental Medicine, earning my Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 1991. I attended West Virginia University School of Dentistry for both my Master of Science degree and Certificate in Orthodontics.

I take many continuing education courses throughout the year to be able to provide more effective treatment, less discomfort, and better service to my patients. I am constantly trying to improve my knowledge of orthodontics, treatment techniques and learning more efficient ways to run the office with the latest in technology.

In the Office
Our office is fun, energetic, and has lots of cool stuff to keep patients occupied. We run on time and really cater to each patient as an individual. We take our time to educate each patient on treatment, cooperation, and hygiene.

We provide a very friendly environment for our patients and make them feel at ease in the office. My team is well educated, well trained, and very committed to the practice and our patients. We are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to handle any emergencies. My team thoroughly explains all procedures to patients and parents, and calls patients at home to ensure comfort and answer questions. They have fantastic patience with children that are nervous or need a little extra attention.

Family Life
While practicing orthodontics is my life's work, I am dedicated to the relationship I have with my three daughters Alexa, Karissa and Julia. Our family activities include arts and crafts, movies, eating out and traveling. When I have free time I enjoy Corvette racing and working out.

Meet Our Staff

I began my journey with Dr. Spokane in 2002, when my daughter Ashley needed orthodontic treatment. Throughout her two phases of treatment Ashley always felt welcomed and cared for by Dr. Spokane and the staff. This is were her perfect bite and beautiful smile was created:)
Once my children graduated and left home I found myself looking for a career. Because of the positive experience at Spokane Orthodontics and my interested in the medical and dental field, I found my place her in 2012. I am a clinic assistant, treatment coordinator and the OSHA and HIPAA Program Coordinator.
When I'm not working, I love the outdoors, being involved with my church and spending time with my grandchildren and family.

I have been working for Dr. Spokane since April 2004. I am a clinic and lab assistant. I have been married to my husband Shawn for 19 years and have 2 children Brooke and Josh and 1 grandson Peyton who is 3 years old. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and taking vacations.

I have been with the practice for 37 years, so Dr. Spokane inherited me as an employee when he purchased the practice from Dr. Hamilton. Working in the smile business is exciting and I am now seeing previous patients bring their children and grandchildren to the practice. I have two daughters who are now married and have grandchildren of my own. When not working, I love biking and boating.

I have been a part of Spokane Orthodontics since 2008. I am a clinical assistant. I am married and have 2 children. I enjoy the outdoors, reading and spending time with my family.

Hi my name is Kaitlyn! I have been with Spokane Orthodontics since October of 2018. I love my job and I love the family I have gained since working here. I have been married to my husband Brett for 4 years. We have a daughter Bristol who is a year old. I also have a niece Camryn, both girls are my entire world. Although my family is very important to me, I do have a pet potbelly pig Iggy who I consider my first born! Outside of work I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping and pretty much doing anything outdoors.

Hi! I'm Glyce (pronounced Glissy.) I started working here in October 2020. I absolutely love working here, because I love getting to know all the different personalities of each kid and getting to be a part of their amazing smiles from treatment.

Outside of work my hobbies mostly consist of going to the gym and shopping. I've gotten very close with the staff here and spend a good bit of time with them, too! I am currently training for a bodybuilding competition, but I do occasionally like going to a CrossFit class to show my good friend Susan how much stronger I am than her. You'll see her on here soon too.

Starting my career here in January 2015, I was a clinical assistant for 5.5 years. From then on, to this day, I am now in financials & insurance. As much as I love to work with my coworkers, I highly enjoy working with our patients/parents. I have a 14 year old step son, Landyn and a 3.5 year old son Brice. On my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, playing softball year round, camping, and reading.

My name is Lisa, I have 3 adult children and 2 grand daughters and 2 grandsons. My hobbies include cooking, gardening, travel, reading and spending time with my family.

My children and I have all been patients with Dr. Spokane. Our results came out great from having treatment. My youngest children avoided having permanent teeth pulled by using expanders with early treatment. My oldest had spaces that were nicely closed with braces. As for myself, the only thing that helped my TMJ and bite issues were braces and elastics. I have worked with Dr. Spokane for 17 years now and it is so rewarding to see the wonderful results that orthodontics can achieve for our patients.

Overall, orthodontics saved us a lot of pain and discomfort and gave us all great results!
