Our Team

Dr. Lemperes was born and raised in Bellingham. He graduated from Meridian High School and Western Washington University. He obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry.

Dr. Lemperes met his wife Lisa in Seattle and they were married in 2004. They have two beautiful daughters, Adelyn and Sophia, and a wonderful son, James. Along with spending as much time as he can with his family, Dr. Lemperes enjoys photography (you can view his photos at lemperesphotography.com), hiking, camping, and staying involved with his church community at Faith Community Church in Lynden.

Dr. Lemperes is an active member of the local community and several dental organizations, including:

Dr. Collins grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and then headed south to attend Central Washington University for her undergraduate degree and then the University of Washington School of Dentistry. She has practiced in a variety of settings over the last 24 years including the United States Air Force, a public health clinic, and then has spent the last 17 years in private practice. As a dentist, she has been involved as a Spear study club leader and as a previous president of the Mount Baker District Dental Society. Taking good care of her patients and educating them about their oral health is very important to Dr. Collins, and she enjoys attending continuing education courses to stay current in dentistry.

She lives in Anacortes with her husband Charlie and two dogs, Dory and Gus. She believes in volunteering in the community: she is on the board for Skagit Regional Clinics Institutional Review Board as well as volunteers with the Anacortes Schools Foundation. Her interests outside of dentistry include hiking, cranking out miles on her Peloton, learning how to golf, and of course, cheering on the Huskies.
