Dr. Carrie Lambert
Founder — Board-Certified Pediatric DentistDr. Carrie grew up in San Diego, California. She studied Biology at UC Irvine and obtained her Bachelor's degree with a minor in Criminology. She then attended UCLA Dental School, where she received numerous awards and graduated #1 in her class.
After dental school she completed a General Practice Residency at the Veteran's Affairs Dental Clinic in San Diego, where she fell in love with public health. She pursued her passion by joining a Native American Health Clinic in San Diego, where she stayed for 15 years — working her way from staff dentist to Dental Director and finally Chief Dental Officer.
Dr. Carrie realized her favorite aspect of dentistry was working with children and helping them create beautiful smiles that increased their overall health and confidence. So, in 2021 she was accepted into NYU's Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry program in Anchorage, Alaska. Dr. Carrie chose that program for the opportunity to provide care to the Native Alaskan population and the extensive training provided due to the severe need in the state.
After relocating to Knoxville, Dr. Carrie opened Treehouse Pediatric Dentistry to take her vast experience into the private sector and provide comprehensive care in a smaller setting where patients come first. Dr. Carrie enjoys reading, baking, watching UT sports and spending time with her husband and two children.

After earning bachelor's degrees in Criminology and Psychology he became a police officer. As a police officer he obtained a master's degree in leadership and promoted to investigations sergeant before retiring.
Travis spent his first few years in retirement taking care of their two children, and when asked by Dr. Carrie to manage a private office for her, he jumped at the opportunity. In his spare time he enjoys playing golf, watching UT sports and spending time with Dr. Carrie and their two children.
