In 1963, the building that served as the regional headquarters for IBM CORP, which at the time managed all the State of Alaska computers, was purchased by Dr. Bob Horchover. Dr. Horchover had worked his way through school as a commercial fisherman. Once settling in to the practice he remained there for over 25 years until Dr. Rick Cook came to town and transitioned into the practice. Dr. Cook had practiced in Plains, Montana for 13 years and served in the US NAVY for two years before moving to Juneau. From 1988 to 2012 Dr. Cook practiced dentistry, performed magic, and was heavily involved in the community of Juneau. In 2012, Dr. Cook sold the practice to a group of five dentists who named the practice Harbor View Dental. The dentists rotated in from Anchorage and Utah, each bringing a unique skill to the community. They labored in Juneau for 3 years until they decided that the practice needed someone who would call Juneau home. In 2015, Jared Lee purchased the practice. He and his family moved from Southern California in search of adventure and a place to call home. Since moving to Juneau, Dr. Lee has worked to make the dental practice an integral part of the community. The dental team has played a part in countless school and community activities in order to do our part in making Juneau a great place to live. Since 2017, the office has been voted as the number one choice for dental care by the local community. In 2023, Dr. Nolan Davis began to fill in at the office. Dr. Davis has been actively working in Juneau and Southeast Alaska since 2004. Dr. Davis also works remotely as a bush pilot and dentist to some of Alaska’s remote villages when he is not in the office.
In the summer of 2024, Justin Sanbei joined the office and started working alongside Dr. Lee in order to help provide the needed coverage that was being demanded of the office.
During the years of 2015 to the present, the office has been consistently upgraded as we have replaced dental chairs, the floor, added equipment to make same day crowns, place implants, and perform procedures that had once been sent out of town to accomplish.
Our Goal has always been to make a difference in Juneau and as the history continues to write itself we eagerly watch as the office and team continue to impress us.
