Dr. House opened House Dental in Phoenix's Arcadia neighborhood with almost nothing in the bank — and a quarter-million dollars in student loans. She chose solo practice on purpose.
She wanted to build something where she could slow down, ask the hard questions, and give every patient the time their situation actually required. She earned her DMD from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and holds a BS in Mathematics and Chemistry from Northern Arizona University. The math and science background shaped how she thinks about dentistry. Systematically. Precisely. Always looking for the pattern underneath the symptom.
Over 24 years, she built House Dental into something most dental practices are not structured to be. She chose depth over volume. She chose two-hour first visits over thirty-minute checkups. She chose to invest in technology — cone beam CT, CEREC same-day crowns, 3D printers, digital scanning — instead of marble walls.
She is a solo practitioner by design. Not because she could not grow. Because growing would mean seeing more patients in less time. And less time is where problems get missed.
