Meet Your Tacoma Dentists
DR. LESLIE WHALEN
Dr. Whalen was raised in Gig Harbor, WA and is pleased to be practicing dentistry back in her community. She completed her undergraduate studies at Western Washington University and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University School of Dentistry. She completed advanced training in general dentistry through the Northwest Dental Residency in Yakima, WA.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Whalen enjoys playing tennis, hiking, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
‘Helping others has always been a passion of mine. Nothing makes me feel better than a client saying "thank you" as they leave with a smile on their face. Every year I spend countless hours attending various continuing education courses so that our office can continue to provide the most advanced and up-to-date patient care possible.
DR. Christopher tobler
I grew up primarily in Southern California, spending most of my time at the beach. I loved to paint and draw and worked as a graphic designer both in high school and then in college at BYU in Utah. Eventually, I changed course and pursued dentistry, which took me to Indiana University to get my DDS degree.
After working for several years as a graphic designer, I realized that dentistry was a better fit. I love the people I get to associate with every day. That includes both my patients and incredible team!
I’m married to the love of my life, and we have two boys. I still enjoy spending time at the beach or in the ocean, but I equally love spending time in the mountains and on trails. I play the guitar and the piano and adore just about any kind of music.
