Our Story
Family-Focused Dental Care
Our story is deeply rooted in the Wenatchee Valley, where our family has proudly served local families for over 35 years. As a truly family practice, Dr. Barker continues the legacy of his father-in-law, the previous dentist here, while his wife, Lisa, contributes her expertise as one of our hygienists.
At Family Tree Dentistry, we know and love dentistry. We blend modern dental technology with personalized care to help you and your family achieve healthy smiles with preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services.
Thank you for being part of the Family Tree Dentistry community. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning patients to our practice!
Joseph W. Barker, D.M.D.
Welcome to Family Tree Dentistry! My team and I have greatly anticipated and custom-designed this site as a resource for our patients to learn more about dentistry, our team, and the great services available at our office. Please take your time and discover all about our comprehensive dental services and the people who work hard to make you smile.
I was born and raised in Wenatchee and couldn't be happier to be back in the valley and have the opportunity to serve my friends, family, and my community. After receiving my B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to earn my D.M.D. at Western University of Health Sciences in Southern California. Although my wife and I enjoyed all that California had to offer, there was no place we could imagine settling down, besides Wenatchee.
When I’m not at the office, I enjoy hiking and skiing at Mission Ridge, local softball leagues, golfing, and working on home improvement projects. Although I have plenty of hobbies, my passion is helping people through modern dentistry. By combining the newest technologies with proven dental techniques, you can expect quality treatment that lasts.
