Dr. McCulloch at Advanced Orthodontics in Mercer Island, WA

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Dr. McCulloch moved to the Pacific Northwest to pursue her graduate degree in Orthodontics from the University of Washington following dental school at the University of British Columbia. After completing Orthodontics, she joined the faculty at the University of Washington in the department of Pediatric Dentistry as a clinical professor as well as entering private practice. She has published several scientific papers and maintains an active membership in many professional societies.

“For me the most rewarding aspect of practice, is my daily interaction with patients; getting to know them as people and observing how their new smile contributes to their developing self-esteem and confidence. It is such a joy to be part of that experience.”
