Dr. Lisa Symonds, DDS

Lisa Symonds, DDS, is a dedicated dentist at Chinook Family Dentistry. She brings a lifelong passion for oral health and patient care to her work each day. Her journey in dentistry began early; she started working as a sterilization technician for her father in 1992 while still in high school.

During her undergraduate years, she continued to grow in the field by assisting him chairside, experiences that solidified her interest in pursuing a health profession and ultimately led her to dentistry.

Dr. Symonds earned her dental degree from the Northwestern University Dental School. In 2001, she returned to her family’s dental practice and had the privilege of working alongside her father until his retirement. Today, she carries forward the values and patient-centered approach that shaped her early career.

Her favorite part of dentistry is the human connection, helping patients stay healthy, confident, and happy while building lasting relationships with both her patients and her team.

Outside of the office, Dr. Symonds enjoys an adventurous, outdoor-focused lifestyle. Whether camping, fishing, skiing, snowmachining, boating, hiking, hunting, or practicing gymnastics, she finds joy in staying active and exploring nature.

She and her family especially love spending time off-grid in the wilderness whenever possible.
