Meet Dr. Susan DeWood

Hello! I'm so honored to meet you.

I've always believed that the best things in life are built with care, precision, and a genuine desire to help others. Long before I picked up a dental handpiece, I was a volunteer, a student of the arts and sciences, and someone who deeply respected the "craftsmanship" of a job well done.

As the first in my family to enter healthcare, I am a pioneer driven by a simple mission: to treat every patient like a neighbor, and every tooth like a treasure.

My journey in dentistry has taken me across the country — from the snowy winters of Ohio and Michigan to the Arizona sunshine. I am a proud Buckeye and a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, consistently ranked the #1 dental school in the world.

While I've trained in the most advanced clinical settings, my heart belongs to "Small-Town Dentistry in the Big City." I chose to lead a private practice like Dobson Ranch Family Dentistry because I believe you deserve more than just a 15-minute slot on a calendar. You deserve a doctor who listens, a team that feels like family away from home, and a dental experience that considers your overall well-being.

I am a restorative general dentist because I believe nothing — no matter how high-tech — is better than the natural teeth you were born with. My goal is to listen first, your concerns are my priority. I want you to leave feeling heard and understood. Next is to restore and protect. I specialize in saving and strengthening your natural teeth, using meticulous craftsmanship to get you out of pain and into a smile you're proud of. And last but not least, focus on your health. Oral health is a window to your overall health. We look at the big picture to ensure you're healthy from the inside out.
