A former Army dentist like her husband, Dustin, Dr. Dodds says her military back- ground influenced her practice philosophy: Do what is best for the patient no matter what.

“I love working with people who are expecting the worst and knowing I can make it a pleasant experience. A patient telling me we provided the best dental experience is the greatest compliment.”

“My loupes, my headlight and my compassion.”

“Dentistry can be more challenging today with social media. There are so many perfect smiles floating around Instagram, and once you discover the ‘dental influencers’ it’s hard to not compare yourself and your work to them. Just keep working hard to better yourself every day.”
