Meet the Doctor

Dr. Rachel Phillips

Dr. Rachel Phillips, a skilled and compassionate dentist, is excited to lead Distinctive Dentistry into a promising future while upholding the practice's esteemed legacy. Having worked from a young age alongside her parents at the family-owned practice, Rachel's experience and understanding of patient care have shaped her into a proficient and empathetic dental professional.

After obtaining her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California, Rachel was selected through a national application process to be one of five residents to receive specialized training in treating medically complex patients through the renowned Swedish Medical Center General Practice Residency (GPR). This year-long program included a strong clinical focus on extractions, implants, IV sedation, general anesthesia, restorative dentistry, endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and removable prosthodontics. Dedication to continuous learning keeps Rachel at the forefront of advancements in dentistry, offering her patients the best treatment possible.

Beyond dentistry, Rachel is equally devoted to giving back to the community, building upon the foundation her father laid. In her downtime, she finds joy in indulging in a good book, invigorating yoga sessions, running, enjoying the outdoors, and spending cherished moments with her beloved canine companion, Winston. Embracing Distinctive Dentistry's values, Rachel treats each patient like family and is committed to maintaining the legacy of compassionate, affordable, and advanced dental care for years to come.
