Amanda Slocum has had a passion for caring for animals from a young age. Once the ballerina phase wore off, she was often found caring for all sorts of critters around her family’s property in Ridgefield, Washington. She currently owns two cats named Scotch, a brown tabby, and Pepper, a black and white Persian. She has one chihuahua mix named Hamilton and a pomeranian mix named Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (or just Gilbert).
Dr. Slocum has special interests in dentistry and soft tissue surgery, because of the healing and improved quality of life that comes from removing a source of disease and pain. She is also passionate about geriatric patient care and pain management. Dr. Slocum received her undergraduate and graduate degrees through Washington State University (Go Cougs!) and has lived in or around Vancouver most of her life. Her hobbies include road cycling and reading a good novel, but given the chance she also loves playing disc golf, snow-shoeing, racquetball, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and international travel [citation].
