We understand that your mouth and oral health are very personal subjects. That's why you must be comfortable with the dental team helping you achieve and maintain your health, so we wanted to dedicate a page to help you get to know us a little better.
We know that you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing dental care for you and your family, and that's why we strive to provide an exceptional experience for our patients every time they visit our Columbus dental office.
Dr. Justin Shiflett graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 2016. He received his undergraduate degree from Malone University in Canton, OH, where he competed on the baseball team. He started all four years as an infielder, setting the career mark for sacrifices.
Since completing his dental education, Dr. Shiflett has taken additional courses to advance the services he can offer patients and stay up to date on the latest technologies. Shiflett Family Dental is proud to offer dental implants, Invisalign, root canal therapy, and other procedures.
Dr. Shiflett and his wife, Leah, are high school sweethearts and have been married for ten years. Dr. Shiflett is an avid fly fisherman and takes pleasure in chasing a variety of species with fly and conventional tackle. Leah works as a wellness director and enjoys working out in the fitness center, playing competitive volleyball, or visiting with friends and family in her free time.
Justin and Leah both have a love for the outdoors, and together they enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, running, kayaking, volleyball, and softball. They also love supporting local shops, restaurants, and sports teams. They absolutely adore their two cats (Alex and Jackson), as well as their French Bulldog, Trudy.
In her spare time, Keri enjoys hanging out with her nieces and nephews at the zoo or walking the family farm in search of arrowheads. She and her husband, Jeff, also love spoiling their two dogs, Oliver and Watson.
Brittney has been a dental assistant since 2015 and has recently completed her EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary) training at Case Western Reserve University. With her hard work and dedication, she has gained the expertise necessary to perform more advanced dental procedures, including placing fillings.
Brittneys favorite part of her job is serving those with dental anxiety. Seeing patients overcome their fears to regain their smiles and confidence keeps her motivated day after day. The slower pace and extra time Shiflett Family Dental provides for each patient allows her to make as much of a positive impact as she can.
Brittney received her undergraduate degree from Shawnee State University, where she was an accomplished cross country athlete. Running still encompasses much of her free time, as she runs for personal enjoyment and serves as a track coach in Johnstown. She also enjoys collecting unique dish sets and checking out local eateries with friends and family.
Jillian has been working in the dental field for over 20 years in a variety of capacities. Over her career as a CDA (Certified Dental Assistant), she has developed a breadth of knowledge in orthodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry. She excels at making patients feel comfortable, as well as explaining dental treatment and terminology in a way everyone can understand. Her favorite part about working at Shiflett Family Dental is the positive atmosphere and level of teamwork shared among the doctors and staff, allowing them to provide our patients with the highest level of dental care.
Katie earned her dental hygiene degree at Youngstown State University, graduating magna cum laude in 2019. Katie was turned onto the dental field by having great experiences as a child and strives to offer that same level of care to each of her patients. She takes great pride in getting to know who is in her chair and giving them all the tools they need to maintain a healthy mouth. Her favorite part about working at Shiflett Family Dental is sharing her workday with other health care professionals that are just as passionate about their role as she is.
Outside of the office, Katie spends time with her husband (Donato), their son (Ashton), and their two Mini Australian Shepherds (Scout and Ollie). She is quite creative and you can find her working on an art project, playing brass sound bowls, collecting crystals, meditating, or doing yoga.
Im the third generation to have exclusively went to Dr. Ralston. Now Dr. Shiflett has taken over the practice and the practice is just as it used to be, even down to the famous treasure chest I loved as a child. Hands down the best in Columbus and I will continue to go here for years to come.

The staff at Shiflett Family Dental were wonderful... kind, caring, competent. They even helped me get down the stairs after my treatment because the elevator was broken! I would recommend this dentist to anyone!

I went for the first stage of having an implant put in. This was a fairly complex procedure, and I am delighted with how the team (Sage, the dental assistant, and Justin, the dentist himself) went about the work. Good anesthesia. Excellent transparency and explanation (thanks, Sage). Very good clear communication and mutual respect between the two doing the procedure, relying on each other and explaining things. I was overhearing, mostly, but it really helped to deal with my anxiety that they talked to each other confidently and politely.

Kalie does a very thorough and professional job cleaning my teeth. She is warm and welcoming in what could otherwise be an uncomfortable experience. She deserves 5 stars! Dr. Shiflett is also very warm and welcoming. He spends time with me as friend before he examines my teeth and mouth. He is very thorough, I can always feel confident he will care for my oral health. 5 stars to Dr. Shiflett! The receptionist (sorry I didn't catch her name) was also very welcoming as if we had always known each other. The staff at Shiflett Family Dental deserve 5 star kudos for their care. Thank you to all of them!

It's more than a "5 Star" service at Shiflett Family Dental. From the minute I walk in the front door and I'm greeted by Renea with her friendly smile and conversation, to my dental cleaning and getting to know Cindy, the dental hygentist, to my exam with Dr. Shiflett who takes the time to personally get to know me and my dental needs. I was a patient of Dr. Ralston's for 46 years until he retired and I miss him! I'm grateful to all of you at Shifflet Family Dental for keeping the same friendly, family feeling I experience every time I come for my cleanings. Thank you! Cindy Cannon

From Dr. Shiflett to his entire staff- WOW! Don't know where to begin- from the moment you walk through the door until you leave, you are treated in such a way that you feel like you are the only person in the world. They are truly amazing. I had quite a bit of dental work done and spent many hours with Dr. Shiflett and his staff. They are truly amazing. I am a little bit challenging to work on and they were so patient and took their time with me. Let's put it this way-I have moved my ENTIRE family to Dr. Shiflett. I wish I would have found him 30 years ago. A visit to Dr Shiflett will change the way you look at visiting the dentist. It will actually become something you look forward to-really!!!! With all of the work I had done, I couldn't have been happier and it truly changed my life. I have a beautiful smile now! I highly recommend this practice and you will not regret giving them a try!
