Dr. Luke Gambee
Luke was raised in Oregon, but is happy to call Glendive his home since 2011. He has wanted to be a dentist since he was 12. After serving a 2-year mission in Italy after high school, he played basketball for Western Oregon University, while earning his bachelor degree. Perhaps tired of the rainy days of Oregon, he headed south to sunny Arizona for dental school. He loves being able to get to know so many people in the community through dentistry. While oral health is his focus, he feels passionate about overall health through healthy living and nutrition. His free time is spent hiking, biking, or doing anything outdoors preferably with his 5 kids and wife in tow trying to keep up with his energy and enthusiasm.
He claims to be part of the first and only group to have navigated the Makoshika River from the switchbacks all the way to the visitor center in April 2013

Erin
Dental Hygienist
Erin is one of our dental hygienists. Erin is married to Ty Kuehn and they have two high school aged children, Nathan and Emily. Erin has worked at Glendive Family Dentistry for 19 years. Being a Glendive native, she wanted a health field career that would allow her to stay in Glendive. Dental Hygiene has been a great fit, and she states she is lucky to love her career choice! The health of the mouth is a window to the overall health of the whole body. So our team of hygienists have an important job to do. "Building a relationship with my patients, and helping them achieve the optimal oral care results, are the goals I have each day I work." Reading journals to keep abreast of new therapies and techniques keeps me striving to do the best I can for each patient. It is exciting if I am able to teach my patients something new, but also I am grateful for the life lessons I learn from them as friends.
