Dr Jared Despain,

Dr. Despain grew up in the Tri-Cities area of Washington and moved around the south and midwest while attending college. He graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2001 where he received a scholarship from the United States Navy. He served at Parris Island, SC and onboard the USS Carl Vinson and gained valuable experience in all areas of dentistry. Upon leaving the Navy, he returned to his hometown and practiced in Kennewick for 9 years before moving to the Olympic Peninsula in 2013. Dr. Despain has loved building a practice here and putting together a great team of doctors and support staff to serve the communities of Sequim and Port Townsend. In his free time, he loves spending time with his wife and 5 (mostly grown!) children. He is an avid hiker and passionate cyclist who loves to race on the road and gravel. Repurposing the old “Mike’s Bikes” building into the current Olympic SmileCare clinic was an especially rewarding project in Sequim. Dr. Despain believes that listening and communicating clearly is the key to achieving the best outcome for each individual that walks into our office. He is passionate about attention to detail and loves getting to know the interesting people who call the Olympic Peninsula home!
