A South Sound native, Dr. Jamie is deeply invested in Tacoma. Since opening her studio in 2008, she has built relationships around the city by supporting artists and small business owners and helping community members reach their oral health goals. She enjoys spending time with her three kids and rescue pups. You’ll regularly find her out and about walking her dogs, cold plunging in the sound or doing hot yoga, participating in food repacks with Emergency Food Network or collaborating to build new Little Free Libraries around town. 

Jamie’s diligence and attention as a dentist are in her lineage. Growing up with a father who was a practicing dentist, she became familiar with the trade as a young child. Jamie now views her father as a model for excellence in the field and they continue to work together at Brooks Dental Studio where he assists in appliance-making and model work.

Jamie earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Washington in 1999. She worked as a practicing hygienist for eight years prior to her doctorate and earned her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the Oregon Health & Science University in 1991. She continues her dentistry studies and mentors at the L.D. Pankey Institute and participates in multiple dental study clubs that focus on clinical, behavioral, and leadership skills.
