Meet Dr. Nhi Pham

Dr. Nhi Pham grew up in Snohomish, Washington. After graduating as Salutatorian from Snohomish High School, she went on to receive her Bachelor of Science degree from Seattle University. There, she was selected by the faculty and her peers as one of the top ten graduates of 1995. Dr. Pham received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1999.

In addition to private practice, Dr. Pham is currently affiliate faculty at the University of Washington School of Dentistry where she has taught since 2012 in the Oral Medicine and Urgent Care Department. Dr. Pham has also enjoyed serving as an affiliate faculty at Shoreline Community College and Lake Washington Technical College where she served for over three years.

Although she has a passion for teaching and mentoring students, Dr. Pham’s first love is providing personalized care to her patients with the latest in preventative and restorative dental techniques using the most advanced technology. Her practice philosophy is focused on preventative care on both a local and global level.

Whether it be on a remote island facing the Turkish border or the African Savannah, Dr. Pham brings great joy to her dentistry wherever she goes. She is a dedicated member of Medical Relief International and her mission work has led her to Haiti, Central America, Tanzania, and caring for Afghani and Syrian Refugees in Lesvos. Locally, Dr. Pham has been a regular volunteer for the Medical Teams International Dental Van in both Western and Eastern Washington. Dr. Pham also serves yearly for the Seattle Stand Down for Veterans, Project Homeless Connect and the Seattle King County Clinic. When she is not trekking around the world or advocating for shipment of humanitarian aid, Dr. Pham lives life to the fullest with her husband, Chris, their three daughters, and internationally adopted puppy, Jin Jin. Chris coaches golf at Kamaik High School and the entire family feels blessed to call Mukilteo and the Pacific Northwest home.
