Meet Dr. Joseph Parker
For the past dozen years, Dr. Joseph Parker, his wife, Jan, and their four children have been blessed to live in central Washington. Dr. Parker was immediately drawn to the area due to its similarity to his hometown. He was raised on a hay and grain farm in northern Utah where he learned the importance of small town values, hard-work, and determination to achieve your dreams. His first job out of college was in agriculture with Farm Credit Services. Over the years, he longed to do something different for his family that would be impactful not only to them but to those he served.
After finishing his prerequisites at Utah State University, Dr. Parker moved to the upper Midwest where he completed his dental degree at the University of Michigan in 2008, graduating near the top of his class, he then attended Saint Louis University where he spent an additional 30 months receiving specialty training in orthodontics.
Orthodontics became a passion for Dr. Parker while in dental school. It just clicked for him. He loved the engineering side of orthodontics and more importantly he loved connecting with patients and seeing the difference a confident smile can make. Dr. Parker feels very fortunate to be part of such a positive change for his patients.
Dr. Parker knows the values of this community and the importance of being part of it. Dr. Parker supports and sponsors kids throughout the Yakima Valley through various organizations including 4H animals, school projects, and sport travel teams.
