Meet The Team - Dr. Javadi
Dr. Ellie Javadi, DDS, MSD
Periodontist & Dental Implant Surgeon
Originally from Iran, Dr. Javadi studied dentistry in her home country, where she received her DDS. She continued on her career path, completing an advanced education program in periodontics, equipping her with the necessary knowledge to pursue her chosen specialty–periodontist. For several years, she used her skills to provide dental care to underserved areas of Iran, treating periodontal disease and helping patients restore their oral health.
In 2007, Dr. Javadi and her husband (an anesthesiologist) moved to the United States with their two sons. After the move, Dr. Javadi enrolled in the Periodontics Program at the Loma Linda School of Dentistry, earning her MSD in 2011 and a certificate in Advanced Education in Periodontics.
With her second degree completed, Dr. Javadi and her family settled in Washington state. She spent eight years working in dental practices and treating patients for periodontal disease. Then, in the summer of 2019, Dr. Javadi chose Edmonds, Washington, as the location for her own private periodontics practice.
Dr. Javadi’s long list of accomplishments includes being a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, the American Dental Association, the Academy of Osseointegration, the Washington State Dental Society, and the Snohomish County Dental Society. She is also an affiliate faculty member of the Department of Periodontics at the University of Washington School of Dentistry.
In addition to her academic and career accomplishments, Dr. Javadi has a busy home life to juggle. She is the proud mom of two young men–and a busy pet parent. Their household includes a Siamese cat, a miniature poodle, and two German Shepherds! When she isn’t treating patients, spending time with family and pets, and handling day-to-day life, Dr. Javadi enjoys outdoor biking adventures, workouts with her husband, and baking for her family.
Dr. Javadi says this about the purpose of her practice: “Treating our dear patients with the ultimate care, love, and the best quality procedures is our main goal!” Her passion is to help her patients restore their oral health, regain confidence in their smiles, and improve their overall quality of life.
Kris
Dental Hygienist
The start of Kris’ dental career goes back to her high school years. Her job in a local dentist’s office was sterilizing instruments and equipment and resetting exam rooms and trays. With a knack and appreciation for science, Kris realized that a career as a dental hygienist would combine her love for science and her dental office experience. She enjoys helping patients, the exciting daily challenges of dental work, and using problem-solving skills to tackle those challenges.
While dental hygienist may be her professional title, Kris also has another important job—mom of two daughters. Having a good sense of humor is one of the everyday life skills Kris thinks can make each day more enjoyable. One of her favorite things about the Orchid Periodontics & Dental Implants team is that they can laugh and have a good time together while positively impacting their patients’ lives.

In her spare time, Darlene prioritizes family and loves to spend as much time as possible with her husband, children, and grandkids. Whether they plan a relaxing day of boating in Eastern Washington or spend an evening attending a concert, Darlene values every moment she and her family have together. A Seattle area native, Darlene also enjoys an outing to nearby wineries for wine tastings with friends.
