Even though Dr. Peabody has been well established for more than 25 years in Santa Cruz, CA, he always welcomes new patients. He loves to leave his door open to let patients know that there is a right way to get dental work. Regardless of what they have experienced in the past, Dr. Peabody wants them to move forward with dentistry that is a step above others.
Patients can tell that Dr. Peabody is a different kind of dentist from the moment that they first visit his practice. He takes the time to get to know them better, not only as a patient but as a person. With his personable demeanor, he learns more about their dental needs, what they hope to accomplish, and how he can help them in their journey.
From that point, Dr. Peabody develops customized treatment programs for individual clients since dentistry is not one-size-fits-all. He understands that each patient has different needs and must be treated in a unique manner.
Not only does Dr. Peabody develop individual care programs, but he takes the time to involve clients. He believes that clients must be empowered and informed every step of the way. The dentist wants patients actively involved in their care. He believes the more invested they are, the better their outcomes.
I love being a dentist, and for 33 years I have tremendously enjoyed providing dental care for you as well as the relationships weve formed. I have decided to retire from the private practice of dentistry so that I can spend more time with my family.
I am confident that you will enjoy Dr. Cat as much as I have enjoyed getting to know her. The team is also quite impressed with her, and you will continue to see them at your reserved dental care visits.
I got into dentistry for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that I wanted to have a direct, positive impact on peoples lives and help them feel and look better. As a child, I had an excellent dentist, one I strive to emulate to this day. He was professional, yet kind, calm, and competent and he had a gentle touch and demeanor. My family knew that whatever our dental needs were, he was going to take care of them with quality, long-term stability. We knew we were in great hands.
When I reached high school age, I decided to explore many careers, but I always came back to the idea of being a dentist. I went to work in the dental field while I was in college and fell in love with the profession.
The most challenging and rewarding part of my practice is helping people who were too scared to go to the dentist. I help them achieve optimum dental health in a comfortable, relaxed, humane, dignified way they never dreamed was possible for them! Many of the new patients I see have not been to the dentist for 10 to 30 years or more, and they often come in with the initial impression that they might get lectured (as many were by their past dental providers), and that their dental condition cant be helped.
The first thing they noticed is that we do not judge or criticize people for being dilatory with their dental care. I always emphasize that we have the present and the future, and we move positively forward from there. I assure them that in my practice, we establish quality, long-term relationships with all of our patients, and we treat people with dignity and respect.
When it comes to diagnosis and treatment planning, I always present the best treatment options available to them because thats the kind of dentistry I want in my own mouth. I personally take the time to talk to my patients and write down any and all treatment concerns and goals they have. I make sure all of my patients are informed about their dental needs, treatment options, fees involved, treatment outcomes and expectations, and make sure all of their questions are answered before we begin treatment.
What makes all of this personalized service worthwhile are all of the smiles, tears of joy, and positive comments we receive from our patients because they truly appreciate being well taken care of. I love making the after photos as patients genuinely, without inhibitions, smile for what is often the first time in their lives!
What landed me in Santa Cruz were my church and my extended family. I love the Santa Cruz mountains and the ocean, the numerous outdoor activities we can do year-round, and I think its the most beautiful place in the world to live and raise a family.
Yet, its the people that I love the most. Along with actively living my faith and participating in my church (Im an Orthodox Christian), I am heavily involved in youth sportsmostly coaching little league baseball, but also youth soccer and basketball.
We have a very health-conscious and philanthropically active community, and its a joy to be a part of it all. My wonderful wife Mona and I have healthy, beautiful children and grandchildren who are very fortunate to have grown up in this exceptional county.

We work diligently to let you know that our focus is on patients.
Another important aspect of our office is that it is modern with the latest technology. Dr. Peabody believes that cutting-edge equipment can help him provide patients with safer and more consistent results. This is why Dr. Peabody and his staff train and stay updated on the latest technology. With our high-tech office, we are able to treat patients with everything from minor issues to those who need more intricate procedures.

While there are countless other dental offices for patients to choose from, we believe that our practice takes patient care to the next level. We take our role as a dental provider seriously. We want patients to trust that they are receiving world-class service every time they visit Peabody Dental Care. This is why patients constantly choose our office and leave rave reviews. What provides us with our greatest joy is to give patients an experience they might have been expecting and exceeding their expectations. After all, it is our patients that provide us with the drive to do what we love each day.
We want our patients to feel valued and know how much they matter to Dr. Peabody and each one of our staff members. Without our patients, we wouldnt have our practice, so we continuously stress that our patients are at the forefront of everything that we do. This is our commitment to our patients.
