Heather Nicholas, DMD

Dentist

I have bounced all around the west coast. Born in California, later moved to the Willamette Valley then Seattle for undergrad. I worked several years as a dental assistant before moving to Utah for dental school and “the greatest snow on earth.” I returned to the northwest to complete a general practice residency at the Portland VA hospital and now I'm here to stay! I love spending time with my 90lb lap dog, Pucci, going to concerts, or supporting local restaurants, wineries and breweries (especially the dog-friendly ones). I look forward to meeting you!
