Meet the Doctor
Dr. Ian Rothbauer earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, following a Master’s degree in Biomedical Science from Midwestern University and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Eastern Washington University. A proud graduate of Curtis High School, Dr. Ian grew up in University Place and began his dental career as a dental assistant, gaining hands-on experience before pursuing advanced education.
Dr. Ian continues a proud family tradition of dental care in Lakewood, where his grandfather, uncle, and mother served patients from this very location beginning in the 1960s. Patients appreciate his compassionate approach, clinical excellence, and commitment to their health and comfort.
He is married with five children, and his family enjoys staying active, cheering on the Seahawks, and exploring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
