Dr. Emeri Beeler, DDS
Bio Coming Soon!
Port Angeles Dentist
I was Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, and moved to the United States in 2014–first to Kentucky to pursue my Master’s, then to Puerto Rico. Finally, I found what I like to call home here in the peninsula, where I plan to start and raise our family with my husband Michael. I enjoy living and working in such a close-knit community.
My first round of dental education resulted in earning a DDS from UANL (Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León), after which I worked for a year in Monterrey, Mexico as a dentist and as a Junior Faculty at the university. Because I am passionate about research and wanted to do some of my own to contribute to the dental field, I then earned my Master’s in Oral Biology at the University of Louisville.
For my second round of dental school (which was necessary to get my license when I moved to the states), I earned a DMD from the University of Puerto Rico.
When not caring for patients, I love baking and cake decorating. The combination of diverse activities and scenery this area has to offer has converted me into an outdoorsy person, so I also enjoy moderate hiking, kayaking, and exploring the Peninsula with my husband.
The Laurel Dental Clinic team has become my family away from home, and we hope you feel just as welcome here. We look forward to seeing you!
Why did you choose dentistry?
In a way, it feels like dentistry chose me. I was blessed to be born into a family of dentists; my father is an Orthodontist and my mother is a general dentist, and I spent a significant part of my childhood in their dental office. I loved to sneak into the waiting room and just start conversations with some of the regular patients, and to this day they still ask about me when they come in.
As I grew up I saw how rewarding it could be to provide quality care and to give people their oral health and smiles back, and since then I’ve known that dentistry was the path I wanted to take.
Who is your hero, and why?
My hero is my Mother, Cris Flores. She is an exceptional mother and wife who, while working as a full-time dentist, also ran our house and raised 3 kids. You’ll always find her with a big smile and her heart of gold taking care of someone who is sick, running fundraisers, volunteering, listening with compassion, praying for someone in need, or simply going out of her way to make someone’s day better.
No matter how full her plate already is, she always makes time and has extra energy to help her loved ones and her community. For those and many reasons more, even as an adult I can say that my hero is still my Mom.
Dr. Danyelle Walker, DDS
Your Port Angeles Dentist
Dr. Danyelle Walker grew up in Juneau, Alaska, where she spent the first 28 years of her life surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Her path into dentistry began in 2008 when she started working as a dental assistant. That experience sparked a passion for patient care and ultimately inspired her to pursue a career as a dentist.
She earned her Master’s degree in Human Biology from the University of Nebraska before receiving her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Her background as a dental assistant gives her a unique perspective in the operatory and a deep appreciation for the patient experience.
Today, she is passionate about providing comprehensive, high-quality dental care in a comfortable and supportive environment. She enjoys all aspects of dentistry and focuses on helping patients understand their oral health so they can make confident decisions about their care. Her approach to dentistry is thoughtful and patient-centered, recognizing the important connection between oral health and overall wellness.
Building lasting relationships with patients is one of her favorite parts of practicing dentistry. She takes pride in helping people feel at ease while achieving healthy, confident smiles. Outside of the office, Dr. Walker enjoys spending time with her two sons and exploring everything the Olympic Peninsula has to offer.
Whether mountain biking, camping, fishing, or enjoying the outdoors, she appreciates the adventure and beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She also enjoys music and singing, which has always been a creative outlet in her life.
She is proud to serve the Sequim and Port Angeles communities as part of the Laurel Dental Clinic team.
