TIMBERHILL DENTAL - Key Persons
Dr. Charles Eric Jones (call him Eric!) values hard work, dedication, and excellence in all that he does. He is a decorated US Air Force veteran and worked through school using the GI Bill and working nights and weekends.
After having worked in his own practice, Jones Family Dental in Brookings and Ashland for the last 16 years has joined Timberhill Dental.
His approach to care is simple and focuses on excellence, patient experience, and education. Through dentistry, he believes he can improve everyone's life!
Dr. Daniel McMaster completed his undergraduate degree at Portland State University, graduating in the top 10% of his class (Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society). He went on to complete his doctorate at Oregon Health and Sciences University. He is kept busy by his three young children alongside his demanding wife Katie. (Joking! She is great!) They also have two canine children, "The General" and "Bucky" in addition to their gray cat "Ralphie". It's pretty much a full house and always an adventure in their household. They enjoy spending time shuttling the kids to sports, visiting Disneyland, RV camping, and swimming.
Dr. Lindner was born in Germany but has called Oregon home for over 25 years. Dr. Lindner enjoys spending time with his wife (a dentist!) and two young kids in his free time. He is an outdoor enthusiast, his hobbies include hiking, climbing, and spearfishing.
Dr. Martin Lindner was originally interested in heading towards scientific research as a career, but a routine dental visit derailed his plan. His family dentist showed him some of the new technology he had just acquired that allowed him to take care of patients in much more
comfortable, involved and thorough ways. The clear pride and compassion in his work planted the seed for Dr. Lindner to become interested in what it would be like on the other side of the chair, and to be the one making the positive difference for another person.
Dr. Lindner completed two majors, Biology and Human physiology, at the University of Oregon, and attended dental school locally at Oregon Health and Science University. During his studies he was able to help contribute to university research and participate in local free dental clinics.
For Dr. Lindner, a big part of dentistry is being able to help others-whether it's daily with his patients, or being able to participate in humanitarian dental relief. This includes an externship in Klamath Falls, and one of his favorites- the Philippines where he was able to help many people that had never had access to a dentist.
Dr. Lindner strives for excellence in patient care and experience. He is known for his special attention to detail and passion for preventative care. His calm demeanor puts patients at ease, at what can be a stressful place for many people. He looks forward to meeting you and being able to provide the compassionate and detail-oriented care you deserve.
Dr. Kurt Black decided he wanted to be a dentist at a very young age - even as a child he loved the combination of precision and compassion. He earned his bachelor's degree in geology from Colorado College and in 1993 graduated at the top of his class from the University of Michigan Dental School. After completing a general dental residency at Oregon Health Sciences University, he served in the Army Dental Corp. in Heidelberg, Germany for four years.
In Corvallis, he's become known as a different kind of dentist. His use of advanced dental technology and minimally invasive care, combined with a unique personal style, help to make his patients more comfortable and relaxed than they ever thought possible. Humanitarian dental relief is also a passion of Dr. Black and he, along with the Timberhill Dental team, have enjoyed volunteering in Corvallis as well as Jamaica, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.
Dr. Black and his wife, Susan (an OSU alum), have been married since 1989 and have four children. They enjoy traveling, half marathons, and other outdoor activities including skiing, hiking, and river rafting.
