Meet Dr. Walker & our office
A board-certified pediatric dentist, a kid-focused team and a beach-themed office designed to make every visit a good one.
Meet Dr. Walker
Dr. Ryan Walker loves working with kids and loves being a pediatric dentist! He is a native of Washington State and received his DDS dental degree from the University of Washington. He then trained for two additional years at the University of Rochester and Golisano Children’s Hospital in Rochester, NY, where he received a certificate in Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Walker is a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and keeps current with the latest techniques and technology through continuing education courses each year. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the Seattle Pediatric Dentistry Study Club. He also speaks Spanish fluently.
When he isn’t at work, Dr. Walker spends most of his time with his wife and children. You might also see him skiing, biking, running and enjoying being outdoors.
The Walker familyHe knows every child is different
As a father himself, Dr. Walker understands that each child is unique, and he values the importance of personalized dental care for yours.
That’s why we take a comprehensive approach: we look at your child’s overall health, risk factors for decay (like diet, hygiene and fluoride use), age and attention span, growth and development, and orthodontic needs, then build a prevention and treatment plan just for them.
To provide the highest level of service to our young patients and their parents, delivering exceptional dental care in a kid-friendly, positive and safe environment.
An office that’s built for kids
We’ve worked hard to include exciting, kid-friendly touches that help your child feel relaxed and comfortable. From infants to teens, we work to make sure every visit is a positive one.
Comfortable & relaxing
We designed our office with infants, children, teens and parents in mind, to give you and your child a caring, comfortable place to be.
Education & prevention
Prevention is a top priority. We teach parents and kids about oral hygiene and how to prevent tooth decay, so smiles stay healthy between visits.
Exceptional treatment
Dr. Walker’s training prepares him to provide exceptional treatment when it’s needed, with a strong foundation in growth and development, behavior management and early interceptive orthodontics.
A specialist for kids, like a pediatrician
A pediatric dentist is different from a general or family dentist, much like a pediatrician differs from an adult doctor. Dr. Walker completed two years of additional training after dental school in a pediatric dental residency program, and has treated thousands of children in private practice.
His training and experience also include working with children with special needs.
Why choose a pediatric dentist?Time for every child
We reserve quality time with your child to make sure each visit is a positive experience, and we plan treatment around your individual child. Please plan about an hour for each appointment; we’ll let you know if a treatment needs more time.
Our state-of-the-art equipment and digital technology help us provide the highest quality of care in a comfortable, relaxing visit.
