Meet Margaret Neese, DDS
Dr. Neese didn’t mean to fall in love with teeth – it just happened when she was on a medical mission trip to rural Nicaragua as a college sophomore. More specifically, our Churubusco, IN, dentist loves how dentistry is the combination of health care and art. Every patient, every smile, every tooth, and every day as a dentist are different, which keeps her passionate, energized, and fully engaged in her field.
After completing dental school, Dr. Neese chose to do an extra year of training as a general practice resident at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, which gave her great insight as to the integral role that oral health plays in a person’s overall health. As a lifelong learner, our Churubusco dentist is also committed to staying up-to-date on dental techniques and technology. She relies on these underlying principles every day, as an important part of caring for all her patients.
Dr. Neese is happy to be back in her hometown of Fort Wayne near her family. Outside the office, she volunteers for dental mission trips and has served in Kenya, Haiti, and Honduras. She also enjoys running, napping, reading, traveling, and spending time with her dog and cat.
