Dr. Kimberly Handick


Description

Dr. Kimberly Handick began her orthodontic career in Hillsdale after graduating from Indiana University School of Dentistry with high honors and finishing her residency program in orthodontics with a master’s degree. She came to the PNW with her husband and one baby, but two decades and a set of triplets later, she somehow finds herself to be a mom to four grown-up children and a golden doodle named Stella. One would never guess that she led daily circus shows at home from the way she has gracefully captained Hillsdale Orthodontics and treated thousands of smiles all these years. As a mom of oh-so-many children, she has an exceptional way of making everyone feel special and at ease. With Dr. Leemin, she is excited to stay connected to the latest technologies in orthodontics as our Portland Orthodontists continue to provide excellent orthodontic services to the community.

Description

As a nutty overachiever, Dr. Leemin never lost sight of her childhood dreams of becoming a smartypants orthodontist.

She spent her childhood years living in Portland and Seoul, splitting her time between the hustling city of Gangnam and the quaint charm of Beaverton and Tigard where she built her tree forts and learned to skateboard. Later during her college years, she even wandered off to live in Paris where she developed a growing appetite for French cuisine and desserts, while working as a student-chef at the Ritz Escoffier culinary school. After all the exciting adventures, Dr. Leemin knew that her ultimate passion rested in crafting beautiful smiles, and returned to the stateside to pursue her childhood dreams in orthodontics.

After graduating from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors, she embarked on her career in dentistry at University of Pennsylvania, where she graduated #1 in her class. Feeling just a little too ambitious, she then completed 2.5 years of additional training at OHSU to become an orthodontic specialist.
