Staff
Dr. Paul Gagnon
I would like to introduce myself and serve your dental needs. I have lived here in the Pocatello, Idaho area since 2002. My three children, Keith, Melia, and Levi are thriving in Pocatello and enjoy some of the great things this community has to offer. My formal education began at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho and then I met my lovely wife, Carolee while attending BYU in Provo, Utah. I completed Dental School at Southern Illinois University. I practiced my first 2 years out of school in Denver, Colorado and decided to serve in the U.S. Air Force as a dentist for the next 4 years. I then spent the next 6 years working for the Indian Health Service. I am now excited to be in private practice.

I did my dental assistant training in Astoria, Oregon and am now happy to be the newest member of our great dental team. When I am not assisting I enjoy spending my time with friends and family. I love traveling and being outdoors whether I'm hiking, biking, or just enjoying me morning chai at the College Market.
Jude: I have been a dental assistant for twenty years which I enjoy thoroughly. I have lived in Pocatello most of my life, you may remember my family, we lived on Jefferson and at Christmas time we displayed Santa Clause in a sleigh with full sized white tailed deer and a red light on the nose. I enjoy hunting, dancing, painting, motorcycling, skiing, horses, and I have belonged to the rodeo association for twenty years. My greatest joy is my family. I look forward to meeting you and giving you the best care.
