Dr. Audrey Mikkelson

When Dr. Audrey Mikkelson was a little girl, she wanted to be a doctor, a ballerina, AND a fashion designer. She finally found the perfect combination of science, art, and fun in pediatric dentistry. She completed her Bachelor of Science at Oregon State University Honors College and went on to pursue a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Oregon Health & Science University. It was no surprise that Dr. Mikkelson volunteered for extra shifts in the pediatric clinic in dental school and while completing a one-year general practice residency at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minnesota.

After practicing in Oregon for several years, she continued her education with a residency in pediatric dentistry at the University of Washington and also obtained a Master of Science in Dentistry. Dr. Mikkelson stayed in Seattle another two years and taught pediatric dentistry residents and dental students as an assistant professor at the University of Washington before returning to Oregon to be closer to family.

In her spare time, Dr. Mikkelson is most likely to be found having dance parties with her husband and their young daughter, hosting crafting sessions, working in the garden, or tucked away reading a good book. You can call her Dr. Mikkelson or Dr. Mikkey (said like Mickey Mouse!).
