Dr. Blake DMD, Dentist for Kids

Thomas Joel Blake was born and raised in St George, Utah and was the 5th of eleven children (that may be why he loves working with children so much) After high school, Dr. Blake went on a two-year mission for his church in Haiti ( he speaks a little French and a lot of creole) In 1991 he married Mary Ann, his now wife of 26 years. Dr. Blake concluded his undergraduate studies at Southern Utah University majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. He then studied dentistry at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida where he received his DMD degree. Dr. Blake and his young family then moved to Tucson, Arizona where he worked in The Children’s Dental Clinic for the next four years. In 2006 Dr. Blake, Mary Ann, and their four children, Sarah, Adam, Nathan, and Hannah, moved to the lovely Spokane area with which they fell in love. Dr. Blake loves doing anything that involves being with his family, especially snow skiing and the things that are water related. He also loves traveling with his family when time affords and seeing new places. Dr. Blake and his family are thankful to be here in beautiful Northwest and are particularly grateful for the wonderful people here that have helped them make this area home.

Dr. Ryan Blake DMD, Pediatric Specialist

Dr. Ryan Blake was born and raised in St. George, Utah. After spending 2 years in Scotland as a missionary for his church, Dr. Ryan received his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University. He then attended A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, where he received his Doctorate in Dental Medicine.
