OUR STAFF

Lynette Emery, MD
Dr. Emery is an experienced Mount Vernon physician who practiced at North Cascade Family Physicians for several years. In addition to Little Mountain Laser, she occasionally works at various local clinics filling in for doctors who are out of the office. Her experience includes full-scope family medicine: obstetrics, office surgeries (including skin), and medical care of all ages and body systems. She is Board Certified and licensed in Washington State, and is an associate clinical faculty member at the UW. On a more personal note, she is a married mother of two young daughters and enjoys time with family, friends, and the outdoors. Her passion for helping people shows through in her work: to help our clients feel as healthy and confident about themselves and their bodies as possible. She performs all of the Botox, Restylane, and Telangitron treatments. She does all of the initial consultations and most of the laser treatments.

She performs multiple types of laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and assists Dr. Emery in larger procedures. She lives in Bellingham and has three little girls, all who seem to be inheriting her amazing sense of style and caring. She also works at Zazen Spa in Bellingham.
