Dr. Clio Samia-Lindenauer

Dr. Clio Samia is a Portland native who learned about passion and dedication through competitive gymnastics. At a young age she realized her love of science and human health would lead her to a career in the medical field.  From Portland, she moved to Vancouver B.C. and received her Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia, double majoring in Food Science and Nutritional Science. Continuing her West Coast tour, she earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. She then pursued post graduate education in Seattle, completing a General Practice Residency at the University of Washington and loved the area so much she decided to make it her permanent home.

She strives to support her local community through volunteering. She has also served on the executive committee for the Snohomish County Dental Society since 2017, acting as president from 2022-2023.

When she's not in the office, Dr. Samia likes to travel and see the world. Some of her favorite trips have been to Spain, Costa Rica, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Fiji, and Switzerland. Around Washington, her happy place is the mountains, and she loves to get outside to hike, paddle board, and ski. When she is sitting still you may find her and her husband obsessing over their son - Frank, cat - Lucy, and dog - Felixxx, or cheering on the Everett Silvertips.

Dr. Christopher Fanger
