Dr. Hillary Hawkins
Dr. Hillary Hawkins, DDS, was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, where she practiced dentistry before moving to White Salmon. Her journey into dentistry began during a service trip to Panama while she was studying at the University of San Diego. This experience ignited her passion for a profession that combines hands-on work, problem-solving, and helping others.
In 2018, Dr. Hawkins graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. After completing her studies, she eagerly returned to the West Coast with her lively rescue husky, Sasha. Having often visited her uncle's cabin in Trout Lake during her childhood, she now enjoys exploring the area more extensively.
Dr. Hawkins is thrilled to have found a career that merges her love for art, people, and science. She finds immense fulfillment in helping patients, whether it’s relieving their pain or advising them on dental care. Dedicated to making dental visits as comfortable as possible, she offers oral sedation. Her favorite part of dentistry is restoring her patients' smiles and ensuring they have a functional and confident grin, enabling them to enjoy their favorite foods.
Committed to continuous learning, Dr. Hawkins stays updated on the latest advancements in dentistry. Outside of the office, she enjoys ski touring the local volcanoes with Sasha or learning how to wing foil. Dr. Hawkins is excited to bring her passion and expertise to the residents of White Salmon, helping each patient achieve their best smile.
Dr. Hillary Hawkins is thrilled to bring her expertise and passion for dentistry to this long-standing and trusted Gorge dental practice, continuing the esteemed legacy of her predecessors. With 38 years of recognition in the Gorge area, our practice has built a solid reputation for exceptional care.
Founded by Dr. Bob Kitch, who served the community at this location for 12 years, the practice was later entrusted to Dr. Staci Hanson, who dedicated 26 years to upholding its high standards. Now under Dr. Hawkins' stewardship, we are committed to maintaining this tradition of excellence.
Located at 131 NE Estes Ave, our dental office has been a cornerstone of dental health in the Gorge for nearly four decades. We are honored to serve our community and look forward to providing top-quality dental care to our valued patients for many years to come.
