Dr Brian Jacobsen

Dr. Jacobsen attended dental school at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. He graduated with honors in 2002 and returned to his childhood home of Astoria, Oregon, where he practiced for the next eight years. In 2010, after reaching his lifetime quota of rain, fish and chips, and trees, he and his family decided to make a drastic change– they sold their house and moved to sunny Central Washington. His parents joined the party in 2020 and his sister and her family moved here in 2024. Initially, Dr. Jacobsen assumed the practice of longtime Ephrata dentist Dr. Doug Beaudry. In 2014, he also merged practices with another retiring longtime Ephrata dentist, Dr. Gale Campbell. Dr. Jacobsen strives to provide the most progressive, up-to-date dental care for his patients. He avidly pursues continuing education and has earned the following honors: Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, Fellowship of the Misch International Implant Institute, Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He is also on track to complete Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2025. He has served as President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer of the Grant County Dental Society. He has repeatedly helped craft statewide policy as a member of the Washington State Dental Association House of Delegates. He strongly believes patients should be able to choose the dental office that best meets their needs and is currently working to bring about regulatory changes to stop insurance companies from restricting patient choice. He believes in being active in the community. He recently served as the 2024 President of the Ephrata Rotary Club. He served many years as President of the Autism Society of Grant County and also served many years as a volunteer congregational leader in his church. He has sponsored and made donations to numerous local causes. He and his wife Laura have 3 children.
