Dr. Wikle grew up in Wilsonville and is excited to be practicing dentistry in Lake Oswego.  After graduating from West Linn High School, Dr. Wikle attended college in Idaho, Utah, and New Jersey.  Dr. Wikle graduated from University of Louisville, School of Dentistry.  Dr. Wikle and his wife, Brynn, met at college in Utah at Brigham Young University.  They have adopted three wonderful children.  The family currently resides in Sherwood and enjoys spending time with family and friends.  In his spare time, Dr. Wikle enjoys being outdoors and traveling to visit relatives.

Dr. Wikle strives to be a comfort to those coming for treatment.  He is extremely dedicated to giving his patients the best quality dentistry possible.  He gives this attention to detail in every procedure from the most basic to the most complicated.  He wants his work to last a long time and he wants his patients to be happy with the dental work they receive.  His focus with continuing education has been to study the things that he feels will benefit his patients the most.  He is a member of the American Dental Association, Oregon Dental Association, Washington County Dental Society, and the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce.  Dr. Wikle enjoys smiling with his patients, creating lasting friendships, and appreciates the many people he has met through this avenue of dentistry.

Hygienist - Darcie

We are excited to have Darcie as our new full time hygienist.  She joined Wikle Family Dental at the end of 2017 and has been a great addition to the office.  She has commented multiple times on how friendly everyone has been and how she can tell that the patients who come to see us are really good people.  She loves the personal relationship she gets to have with so many people at the office.  She has been a hygienist for 16 years and graduated from hygiene school at OHSU.  She loves Oregon and has lived here her whole life.  She got married a year ago and is enjoying the new home that she and her husband bought.  Her husband is originally from Ireland, so they try to visit there as much as possible.  Traveling to new places has become one of Darcie's favorite things to do.  Darcie loves being a hygienist and looks forward to helping you keep your mouth healthy.

Hygienist - Megan

Megan's kindness shows through in her personal life and in her profession as a dental hygienist.  She truly cares about you as a person and is also very interested in your oral health. She makes your appointment more enjoyable because of her gentle touch and her soft spoken voice. She has been a dental hygienist for many years and splits this responsibility with her family responsibilities as a mother and wife. Her kids are teenagers and she has stayed very involved and supportive in their lives. It is common to find Megan enjoying a sporting event with her family. We are truly happy to have Megan with us for some of the days during the month and look forward to having her at the office more often as her kids get older.

Hygienist - Doris

If you want someone to care about you, then you would love to have Doris clean your teeth.  Not only are her years of experience and continued education valuable for your dental health, but her kind words and personal interest in your life also leave you feeling better than when you first arrived.  Doris has enjoyed designing the homes her and her husband have built.  They lived in Alaska at one point and their favorite family activity is snow skiing.

Dental Assistant – Stephanie

Stephanie is one of our dental assistants and is fairly new to the profession.  She is a natural and has caught on very quickly to the dental atmosphere. She has a fun personality that will make you feel more comfortable when you are here. Some of the other jobs Stephanie has enjoyed are being a dance instructor for children, and is also currently a hair dresser. With her free time she enjoys going out with friends or watching a good movie.

Dental Assistant / Front Office - Julie

Julie has been with the office for many years. She used to work in the front office for Dr. Edvalson and is excited to be back working with us again. She is still doing some front office work but is also now a dental assistant. She completely loves being with all of you and helping you to get your dental treatment done. She has a fun, happy personality that will make you feel like you are with a friend while you are here.  She has put a lot of effort into helping her family and loves spending time with them, especially her young grandchildren.

Front Office – Jill

Jill is an asset to everyone.  She has the challenging job of keeping up with how various insurances operate.  She will help you find a good time in your schedule to get your teeth cleaned or to get dental treatment completed.  She loves for people to be happy and enjoys seeing so many people as she greets them when they enter the front doors.  Jill’s family is the most important thing in her life.  She cherishes the time she has with them, especially the little bit of time she gets to see her family members that are in the military.

Front Office – Kim

Kim is a fun person to know.  She thoroughly enjoys people and helps you feel glad you came to the office the moment you start to talk to her.  She is currently working at the front desk.   She is also an experienced dental assistant who has helped many of our patients during their visits.  Kim is now a grandma and there isn’t anything that could make her happier.  She has two beautiful little grandbabies.

Front Office – Sue

Sue has been a great help to the patients and the rest of the staff by filling in at the front office as needed.  We miss her part of the year when she is in Arizona, but are very happy with the great work she does when she is here.  She knows almost everyone who comes to the office and is a friend to all.  Sue enjoys the sunny days in Arizona but always loves coming home to Oregon.
