About us

I knew that I wanted to be a dentist since I was in 4th grade. After 36 years of full-time general dentistry practice I still love being a dentist. I have deep and meaningful relationships with my patients, and they have honored me by their kind words (470 five-star reviews – see Michael Lacey DMD Rate a Biz). I have an amazing staff where many have blessed me with many years of a faithful partnership providing exceptional service to our patients. I continue to find learning stimulating and have taken thousands of hours of continuing education throughout my career. This has allowed my practice to develop a comprehensive approach to dentistry. I have been told by many that I am an extremely positive, compassionate and encouraging individual, who consistently attempts to elevate others over self. I find great joy in mentoring others whether it is my staff, my patients or my associates in SE Asia. I look forward to sharing these skills as a part-time volunteer at OHSU School of Dentistry.

Personal:

My wife Karen and I were invited to develop a dental hygiene training program at a boarding home in North Thailand city of Chiang Kham in February 2009. Making multiple trips to develop relationships and enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence, we trained high school students in dental hygiene concepts (brushing and flossing), diet counseling, the mechanism of decay, the action and benefits of fluoride and provided support and encouragement in developing each student’s public speaking skills. Utilizing these new skills and information, these “dental trainers” provided dental hygiene training to the remaining 100+ students of the boarding home. Initially, these hygiene training clinics were done every 6 months for several years. In 2011, we were invited to develop a 2nd dental hygiene training program at three additional orphanages in Chiang Rai Thailand utilizing the concepts developed at the first sight. In 2014, we were invited to develop a 3rd dental hygiene training program in Poipet Cambodia. While it took time and effort to develop the program at each of the sites, what has been amazing is to see how these young dental trainers are now “owning” the training process. This was a primary goal that Karen and I had when we initially began the process over a decade ago. January 2020 will be our 17th trip to serve and support the children and village leaders in these 3 sites.

Since we began our project, we have been extremely fortunate to have partnered with highly skilled native leaders in both Thailand and Cambodia. Utilizing their deep understanding of the customs and the needs of the local populations, we have been able to provide dental hygiene training sessions to many other schools, orphanages, and to leaders from rural villages. Additionally, we have been invited to travel to remote Hill Tribe villages where we have provided dental hygiene supplies and dental hygiene training using the Mother tongue of that Hill Tribe village. More recently, we were invited to join the Cambodian Medical Volunteers Association and University Health Science Dental School (Phnom Penh) students in 2016, 2017, and 2019 where we traveled to provide dental services to rural villages around Phnom Penh.

Throughout this process, we have been given the opportunity and responsibility to train, encourage, and develop leadership skills in countless young students in both Cambodia and Thailand. Watching these young adults grow in their confidence and seeing their self-esteem blossom has been a tremendous joy for both Karen and myself.

Also, I am a C. ED junkie. I have taken more than 3500 hours of CE. Probably closer to 4000 than 3500, but I want to be conservative with my estimate.
