Thomas, who wanted to find a career that would allow him to teach and mentor youth while nurturing his own love for the medical field.

His caring personality and sense of humor are appreciated
by patients and parents alike. Dr. Thomas is committed to
creating a positive environment for all those who enter
his office. He takes the time, effort and energy to make
everyone feel welcome.

Immediately after earning his dental degree (Doctor of Dental Surgery) from the University of
Michigan in 2003, Dr. Thomas continued to pursue his education. He received his Master's of
Science degree with certificate in pediatric dentistry in 2005, also from the University of
Michigan. Dr. Thomas' intense and unique 30-month pediatric dental residency combined academics,
clinical training and 18 solid months of hospital privileges and orthodontic training to prepare him for
private practice. Dr. Thomas practiced at a prestigious pediatric dental office in South Tacoma before
opening his own practice in Bellevue in 2007.
Dr. Thomas is certified in the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Program and has hospital
privileges at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma. He is an affiliate faculty member at the
University of Washington School of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Thomas is a
member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the
Washington State Dental Association, the Seattle-King County Dental Society, the Kenneth A. Easlick
Society and the Pacific Northwest Pediatric Dental Study Club.
A native of Michigan, Dr. Thomas, his wife and two young children moved to the Seattle area to enjoy
the amazing lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Thomas can now be found sipping Starbucks, hiking,
biking or skiing. But rest assured, on a beautiful fall Saturday, he will still be singing "Hail to the Victors"
for his Michigan Wolverines.
