About Dr. Hopkins

Dr. Hopkins grew up in College Park, Maryland and attended the University of Maryland, before completing dental school. She received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1980. Upon graduating, Dr. Hopkins did an elective one year residency with the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. From there, she moved to Oklahoma City where she served on staff with the Veterans Administration Medical Center and on the faculty of the University of Oklahoma Dental School for five years.

In 1986, she relocated to Tacoma, Washington and entered private practice. After three years in private practice and dealing with her own personal health issues, she adopted a biologically integrated approach to dentistry. The philosophy is now to provide the highest quality of cosmetic dental care that will enhance the health and well being of each person that comes to her practice. Dr. Hopkins has successfully combined the science and the art of homeopathy, nutrition, and functional cosmetic dentistry into her practice to treat many dental problems with sometimes astounding results.
