Brian Bird D.M.D.
Dr. Brian Bird, a proud native of the Boise area and a Meridian High School alumnus. His journey in dentistry is as unique as it is inspiring. Post-high school, Brian embarked on a life-changing two-year mission in Uruguay with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he not only served the community but also became fluent in Spanish.
His academic path led him to Brigham Young University, a place close to his heart as it's where he met his beloved wife, Emily. There, he dived into the world of Business Finance, simultaneously preparing for his future in dental studies.
The year 2000 marked a significant milestone for Brian as he entered the prestigious Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. His dedication and excellence in the field were recognized when he was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Dental Honor Society, graduating with honors in 2004.
But Brian's journey didn't stop there. He further honed his skills through an Advanced Education General Dentistry Residency with the U.S. Air Force, gaining comprehensive experience in various dental specialties at Travis Air Force Base, California. His commitment to serving continued at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, where he practiced as a general dentist for two years.
In 2007, Dr. Bird returned to his roots in the Treasure Valley, bringing his expertise and passion for dentistry back to the community he holds dear. When he's not caring for his patients, you can find Brian relishing time with Emily and their five children. Their family adventures range from soccer games and river floating to skiing at Bogus Basin, biking, rafting, waterskiing, and hiking in the beautiful Idaho outdoors. Dr. Bird is not just a skilled dentist; he's a family man and a community gem, dedicated to bringing smiles in more ways than one.
Robert W. Hendricks D.D.S.
Dr. Hendricks grew up near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Penn State University and received his Dental Degree from Georgetown University. For twenty-five years, Dr. Hendricks served as a dentist with the United States Coast Guard assigned to many duty stations throughout the United States beginning with the US Coast Guard boot camp in Cape May New Jersey. From there he and his family traveled to New Orleans, La., Yorktown Va., Astoria, Oregon, and Traverse City Michigan. After retiring, Dr. Hendricks and his wife Linda moved to Boise, and not long afterward two of their three daughters followed and now call Boise home. Of all the places they have lived, they have found Boise to be the best place of all.
Dr. Hendricks is very fortunate to have received years of advanced dental training while with the Coast Guard and has made a lifetime commitment to continuing education. Dental techniques are rapidly changing and through his membership in premiere study clubs, he is constantly upgrading his skills in order to provide the latest techniques to his patients. Although there are many new and exciting advances in dentistry, experience has also taught him that basic dentistry is often the best treatment.
When not in the dental office, Dr. Hendricks can be found playing golf with his wife and friends, fishing, biking, and hiking. However, his favorite pass time is skiing at Bogus Basin where he helps with events and long-term planning as a member of the Bogus Basin Auxiliary Board.
