About

Dr. Richard Ellingsen practices Orthodontics in Spokane, WA.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Ellingsen must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
