Dr. Michael H. Hawkins

Dr. Hawkins has been practicing orthodontics since 1995 and has been at this office on the Sammamish Plateau since 1999.

He became interested in dentistry after a wrestling injury in high school. He was patched-up by some talented, dedicated medical and dental professionals who turned that negative into a big positive for him. This experience made Dr. Hawkins realize he would like to have a career that enables him to do the same for others.

His treatment philosophy is decidedly conservative and emphasizes single-phase treatment whenever possible. He maximizes clinical efficiency by using the latest orthodontic hardware technology to result in shorter treatment times and fewer office visits for patients and their families.

Interests

Dr. Hawkins loves being active in the Issaquah and Sammamish communities where he lives and works. He enjoys living life to the fullest with his three sons. When he is out of the office during the colder months, Dr. Hawkins can often be found skiing, snowshoeing, cheering on the Seahawks or his several college athletic teams. Summer is all about hiking, climbing and camping, often with Sammamish Boy Scout Troop 696. He also loves going to summer concerts. His favorite music venue is The Gorge Amphitheater near his eastern Washington roots. So beautiful!
