Our Office
Dr. Darren Ravassipour
After growing up in beautiful Wenatchee, Washington, Dr. Ravassipour received
his Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry from the University of Puget Sound,
followed by post-graduate study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill (Go Tar Heels!). Dr. Ravassipour graduated in the top 5% of his class with
a Doctorate in Dental Surgery and Masters of Science in Orthodontics. While in
college he was co-captain of the tennis team and actively involved in student
life.
Dr. Ravassipour has published articles on a variety of orthodontic topics
and has volunteered with the Head Start Programs to develop a program for oral
health education. His commitment to our community also finds him actively involved
in the local Dental Society (serving as President in 2007) and Rotary Club, serving
on several committees.
Dr. Ravassipour and his wife—a rare Rogue Valley native!—welcomed son
Reid in January 2007.
