Your New Dentist

Dr. John “Andy” Werner

Dr. Werner looks forward to being your new dentist, with a focus on making your experience as comfortable and familiar as possible. To that end, he knows that knowing a bit about a person helps. To that end, Dr. Werner was raised on the Palouse, active as a child in Boy Scouts, sports, academia and the outdoors. In middle school and high school Dr. Werner was also highly involved with Future Problem Solvers of America. Achieving regional awards, his team won at the State Finals and was honored to compete at the International Conference.

Dr. Werner attended WSU for his undergraduate education where he received the senior student award in Zoology and was the top candidate for medical and dental school. Since fifth grade, dentistry was always Dr. Werner’s passion, and the next step was the University of Washington School of Dentistry. At the University of Washington, Dr. Werner graduated in the top ten students in his class, received the Senior Student award for the graduate that displayed the most promise in general dentistry, and was the only student to graduate in all three honors courses offered at the time: implants, endodontics, and removable prosthodontics.

After dental school Dr. Werner was selected by a member of faculty to practice under her tutelage for three years. Dr. Werner then established his own practice in Cle Elum, WA and cultivated it for nearly six years. A wonderful wife, Jill, and two beautiful daughters brought Dr. Werner full circle back to the wonderful community in which he was raised.
