"Having the latest technology provides advantages extending beyond the results that we achieve in the operatory;  it allows us to maintain a smaller staff, and that translates into better relationships in the office - both with patients and with fellow staff members.  We have developed a great team that's not only highly proficient, but a lot of fun to work with." James Row DMD

 

Dr. James Row

Prior to entering the dental field, Dr. Row received respective Bachelor and Master degrees from the University of California and Western Seminary, as well as worked in the financial securities industry.  Dr. Row received his D.M.D. degree from the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) School of Dentistry in 1996 and opened his practice at Orenco Station in July 1999.  He holds a Class 2 Conscious Sedation Permit issued by the Oregon State Board of Dentistry - a licensure held by fewer than 1 out of every 10 general dentists in Oregon.  Dr. Row and his family enjoy a number of the outdoor activities so readily available in the great Northwest, and has had a ball sharing some of his whitewater rafting enthusiasm with his staff!

Becki Howard, Office Manager

Having worked in orthodontic and oral surgery practices as a dental assistant, Becki joined Dr. Row in 2001 and quickly demonstrated her multi-tasking capabilities by undertaking adminstrative duties.  Although she enjoys her role handling the administrative affairs of the practice, she is equally adept at stepping back into the operatory when needed. Patients and staff members alike will attest to both her thoroughness and relaxed sense of humor in running Dr. Row's front office. Her husband, Tom, runs his own licensed home inspection business, and occasionally can be persuaded to regale Dr. Row with (albeit limited) stories of his days as a Force Recon Marine!

Micha Mitchell, Registered Dental Hygienist

Micha is a native Oregonian who graduated from Beaverton High School and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Portland. She recieved her dental hygiene degree in 1998 from Coastal Bend College in Texas. She is a mother of two boys and enjoys spending her free time with them. She is an outstanding member of our team and we are glad to have her.
