A native of Idaho, Dr. Cynthia Copeland grew up dismantling objects in order to discover why they worked. As a youth, she attended Carnegie Mellon University on a gifted young artists scholarship. Splitting her interests in arts and science, dentistry became her choice of postgraduate study.

Dr. Copeland went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Colorado and, in 1994, her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Washington.

“I’ve also had the opportunity to study with the late Dr. Hal Huggins, Dr. Phillip Mollica, and Dr. Robert Harris, in addition to immersing myself in the type of practice that satisfies my sense of life-affirming, do no damage, patient-driven, doctor-as-teacher sense of self.”
