Dr. Michele Spekhardt has been providing exceptional dental care for 20 years! Dr. Spekhardt earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Maine in 1984 and her dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1990. After graduating from dental school, she started practicing in Brooks, Maine at the Jewell Dental Clinic. In 1994, she bought this practice from a retiring Bangor dentist.
Dr. Spekhardt feels it is important to stay on the cutting-edge of dentistry. Thus, she maintains memberships in many prestigious professional organizations to keep up-to-date on the latest techniques and technology including, the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Maine Dental Association and the Penobscot Valley Dental Society.
Dr. Jacob Valley was born and raised in Brewer, Maine where he attended Brewer High School and participated in high school hockey. He completed his undergraduate education in Medical Biology at University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. He enjoyed UNE so much that he decided to accept a position at the College of Dental Medicine at UNEs graduate campus in Portland, Maine. During his final year of dental school Dr. Valley completed 6 months of externship outreach at both Penobscot Community Dental Center in Bangor, Maine and Waldo County Hospital in Belfast, Maine. Dr. Valley is excited to return to the area in which he grew up and help treat the people who gave so much to his upbringing.
In his spare time Dr. Valley is an avid outdoorsman, skier, hunter, and guitar player for a country rock band. In the summer he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend Kirston and their dog Bowen at the lake.
