Dr. Herion’s Biography
Dr. Herion feels fortunate to have a fulfilling career in orthodontics. She credits the influences of two women role models for playing a part in making that happen. First was her own childhood dentist, a woman she admired even at a very young age. Following, she recalls having her youth soccer team sponsored by one of the first women to graduate from University of Washington’s School of Dentistry. In her practice today, Dr. Herion strives to continue to learn and incorporate new techniques and materials into her treatment.
In her free time, she might be found snow-skiing or water-skiing with her husband and children.

As always excellent care for both my boys. Very happy that we are doing all the family ortho care here

I am not happy about the care I received. While the dentist herself was professional and nice. The assistant who put on my braces does not know what they're doing. A few hours after having my braces and spending $1k out of pocket one of the brackets fell out my mouth. I called was told to break the wire. If I just spent 1k and the glue was not put on correctly what else in my mouth is going to break? And they told me to just wait a month for my next appointment to fix it. Very unhappy
