I grew up in Pennsylvania where I graduated from Penn State University and received my commission as an officer in the United States Navy. After my tour of duty in the Navy and completing my Masters degree at Old Dominion University, I was employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Arizona. I then graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska Medical Center with my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and was accepted into the General Practice Residency program at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I am now a Fellow, in The American Association of Hospital Dentists, a part-time Clinical Instructor at the University of Colorado Dental School, and have completed one year residencies in The Restorative procedures for Dental Implants, and The Diagnosis and Treatment of Occlusal Disease including Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD).
I am a Member of: Omicron Kappa Upsilon (Dental Honor Society), The American Academy of Oral Medicine, The American Association of Hospital Dentists, The American Dental Association, The Colorado Dental Association, and The Metropolitan Denver Dental Society
My name is Deborah, and it has been a pleasure working in dentistry for 40 years. I started out as a dental assistant in the U.S. Navy, and have since worked in numerous locations including the University of Texas Dental School in Houston, private practices, group practices, specialty offices and general dentistry. With my diverse experience in dentistry, I have learned to apply my knowledge and assist our patients in attaining their ultimate dental health. I am incredibly fortunate to work with Dr. Frank and the team. We work well together to provide the best service and the best atmosphere for our patients.
Away from the office, my time is spent with friends, reading, and I look forward to the day I become a Grandma! I have been blessed with a lovely daughter, Jamie, and she and her husband live in Houston. I see them whenever possible, which is never enough!
I have always believed in providing excellent patient education with a strong focus on the patients involvement. My goal is to help you understand how to maintain a healthy mouth and to give you the tools to get there. I graduated from the Dental Hygiene Program at CCD as the student representative and am the recipient of the Leadership Award from the Metro Denver Dental Hygienist Society.
