Hi, I’m Dr. Mary! I’m a proud dentist here at Altoona Smiles and greatly enjoy working with our team to deliver outstanding care and experiences to our patients. I grew up in Central Iowa and graduated from Collins-Maxwell which is just a short trip north of Altoona. I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry and Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and after that I practiced in Jackson, Wyoming before returning home to be closer to family. I live with my husband and three poodles- one standard and two toy sized- which we enjoy training and playing with. My husband and I are big Hawkeye enthusiasts and also have a passion for eclectic design and do-it-yourself home improvements. Our most recent hobby has become fitness and weight lifting which we enjoy watching ourselves grow together.
We are dedicated to serving the Altoona community by providing caring, affordable, personalized dental services. Our team is committed to creating a warm, pleasant atmosphere in which you will feel like you are among friends.
By far the most professional and caring staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They make going to the dentist actually enjoyable. If you want the best I’d suggest Altoona Smiles 😃
Experience starts right when you walk in the door. Greeted with welcomes and happy faces! Every staff member is exceptional at making you feel comfortable and are friendly!
Dr. Nicole and Emily are simply amazing! They do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. They go that extra mile to ensure you have the best care!
From someone who rarely went to the dentist to now going every 6 months, I definitely recommend Altoona Smiles!! My hygienist, Emily makes going to the dentist so easy!
Darcy was so professional and explained things to me the entire time. Just so refreshing to come to Dentist’s office and feel like part of their family. Thank you so much!!!
Very pleased with Altoona Smiles. Going to the dentist is not high on my list of things I enjoy. The staff is very friendly and professional. Sabrina especially is great at putting you at ease.
My experience at Altoona Smiles was very positive. Dr. Eric & Kaylor were thorough & pleasant. I have a great fear of dentists & they made me feel relaxed & comfortable.
I was very afraid to go to the dentist but everyone made me feel welcome and happy. I had some pretty major dental work done and Dr. Jenni and the assistant kept me calm.
