MEET DR. LISA DUCKLES

Dr. Lisa Duckles is originally from New Jersey, known for its incredible bagels and pizza! After earning her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from American International College in Massachusetts, where she also played field hockey and lacrosse, she attended dental school at Roseman University in Utah. There, she was honored to receive the Distinguished Professionalism and Ethics award.

Following graduation, she practiced dentistry in Cape Cod for three years before falling in love with Bellingham during a visit her in-laws. In September 2024, she moved here and has absolutely loved every moment.

Dr. Duckles is thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside her mentor and friend, Dr. McRory. They were introduced through a mutual dental colleague and immediately he recognized her shared passion for dentistry and commitment to excellence.
