Dr. Abigail Rapchick
General Dentist
Dr. Abigail Rapchick grew up on a farm in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Her childhood was spent outdoors, participating in 4-H and Pony Club, and working in her mothers extensive flower and vegetable gardens. She attended the University at Buffalo where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Science, before continuing on to obtain her Doctor of Dental Surgery at UB as well. After graduating she moved to Albuquerque, NM to complete a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry, where she received additional training in all aspects of dentistry.
In her spare time, Abigail enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and rock climbing. She has had a blast exploring the PNW so far and is always looking for new trail recommendations! Her creative nature is expressed through trying new recipes in the kitchen, and her never-ending mixed media art projects.

One new skill I would like to learn is… How to fly an airplane.
If I wasn’t a dentist I would be… A jeweler, or jewelry designer.
One place I would like to travel to someday is… New Zealand

Our patients say it best
“When sudden tooth pain had me reeling, these good folks stepped up pronto to diagnose (fractured molar) and prep the tooth for crowning. Plus, the outstanding receptionist worked out my insurance plan’s benefit transparently. Truly an optimal experience where other dental practices fall short.”
Cassandra H.
“Staff is friendly, efficient and respectful. I have some dental insurance. They also have payment plans if you cannot pay the full balance upfront.
Dr Rapchick is always kind and includes me in making some decisions on my treatment plan. She is gentle with the procedures and makes sure you are doing okay.”
