Dental Team
Rick Lieu, DDS
Dr. Lieu grew up in Parkland/Spanaway where his family established Lieu's Chinese restaurant after immigrating from Seoul, South Korea. When not at the office, he loves to travel - to anywhere with warm weather, beaches and good food - try new restaurants and play tennis with his wife, Sarah and children, Adam and Brandon.
He graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Microbiology and it was there that Dr. Lieu became interested in dentistry. He attended University of Washington School of Dentistry and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2000.
In 2009, after working for nine years in community health dental clinics in both Seattle and Tacoma, Dr. Lieu took over the long-standing Puyallup dental practice of Dr. Smith (and prior to that, Dr. Pratt). Dr. Lieu keeps up to date by attending many continuing education classes, ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care.
