Dr. Timothée Cousin, DDS, MSD

Dr. Cousin was born in Paris, France where he resided until his family emigrated to the beautiful state of Colorado when he was just 11 years old. He went on to study psychology as an undergraduate at the University of Washington and subsequently completed his dental and orthodontic training at the University of Washington, School of Dentistry. Dr. Cousin is a published author of several scientific publications. His masters thesis studied ways of expanding care to underprivileged populations. When not in his orthodontic office in Bellevue, WA, Dr. Cousin can be found teaching at the University of Washington Department of Orthodontics where he maintains an appointment as an Affiliate Assistant Professor and teaches orthodontic techniques to dentists and orthodontists in training.

Dr. Cousin is lucky to be surrounded by his family here in the Pacific Northwest. He is happily married to his wife Arianne with whom he is raising his 2 beautiful daughters, Eloise and Lila. When he is not in the office, Dr. Cousin enjoys hiking through the PNW and sailing the lakes and Puget Sound.
