Born and raised in the Okanogan Valley, Dr. Greg enjoys being part of this unique corner of the world. He spent 8 years at the University of Washington, receiving a bachelors degree with Honors before attending dental school on the same campus. Selected for a Health Profession’s Scholarship by the U.S. Navy, Dr. Greg then served in the USN as a dental officer for 4 years. He received advanced training in multiple specialty areas of dentistry while also treating families of squadron military members overseas. After tours of duty in South Carolina and Japan, and over 300 hours of additional formal education beyond dental school, he returned home in 1999 to join his father, Dr. Jerry Grillo. He especially enjoys caring for growing families in his practice, and incorporating technologies that enhance the patient experience while taking numerous continuing education courses on all aspects of dentistry. He and his wife, Lisa, have 3 children and are involved in a variety of community activities in the Omak area. Outside the office, he can be found snow skiing, hiking, playing tennis, or just enjoying the outdoors.
