Dr Jonathan Gold , DMD

General dentist

Dr. Gold graduated OHSU dental school in 2010. Immediately following this, he and his wife moved to New Orleans, LA where he practiced for 9 years. There he treated mostly underserved families. He credits this experience with teaching him to work with his patients to find solutions to their needs which work for them. While there he also spent time volunteering at LSU dental school, working with first year students starting to enter the field, furthering his passion for teaching and dentistry.

Dr. Gold was born and raised in the Portland area, and grew up with a love of skiing, wakeboarding, flying kites, and riding motorcycles. For college he went to Whitman College and received a degree in Rhetoric/Film Studies and a Science degree from Portland State University.

When not at work you can find Dr. Gold at the park with his 3 year old son, Asher, cheering on his 49ers, or cooking.

"I am very excited about the opportunity working at NE Dental Associates can provide me to expand my scope of practice and bring my brand of humor and lightheartedness to this office."

Dr. Brinton credits his high level of experience and education in a short time to his commitment to continued professional education and training.

Dr. Brinton and his wife, Kjerstin, have two young daughters, Annika and Hanna. In their free time, they love to enjoy the outdoors, whether by foot, bike, or skis.

“As a dental student, I developed a passion for the practice of dentistry and went above and beyond the requirements to prepare myself for my future patients in every way possible. Since graduation, I've continued to pursue as much continuing education as possible with the goal of providing excellent care to my patients. I try to treat my patients like my family, which starts with a correct diagnosis, exploring treatment options, and performing the right procedure with the excellence and skill to make sure you leave happy with your visit.”
