Person Behind The Place Jonathan Ip

Bellevue, WALocal News

Dr. Jonathan Ip, who owns Bellevue Dental Studio, shares his journey from various U. S. cities to establishing a contemporary dental practice in Downtown Bellevue. Built with a focus on patient comfort, the office features amenities such as ceiling TVs and noise-canceling headphones, creating a calming environment for dental visits.

The practice primarily serves young professionals from nearby tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon, fostering a sense of community as Ip often meets patients outside of work. The pandemic delayed the opening of his office, impacting patient traffic initially, but he is now preparing for growth as more workers return to the area. Ip is enthusiastic about the ongoing development of Downtown Bellevue, recognizing its evolution into a vibrant city. He enjoys participating in local events and dining at various restaurants, including FogRose Atelier and Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi. Hidden gems like the revamped Meydenbauer Bay Park and the anticipated REI Boathouse showcase the area's charm.

Ip's commitment to patient care and community involvement reflects his dedication to reshaping the dental experience.
