Drs. Rowley, Ruder and Psaltis understand the need to provide the highest standard of treatment in repairing decayed teeth and maintaining gum health, and feel that an equally important service is to build each child's confidence and trust in this environment. Our doctors lecture locally and nationally on pediatric dentistry and practice management, and are published in several peer-reviewed publications. They maintain membership and are active in several professional organizations, including:
- American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
- American Dental Association
- Washington State Association of Pediatric Dentists
- Washington State Dental Association
- Thurston-Mason County Dental Society
- Evergreen Pediatric Dental Study Club
Our doctors also volunteer their time and talents to those in need. Dr. Psaltis has established two volunteer sites in Mexico providing free dental care to children. He and Dr. Ruder all perform annually with other local dentists in the Dentists Do Broadway performance at the Washington Center for Performing Arts, benefitting the Union Gospel Mission Dental Clinic in Olympia.
