About Us
The neighbor dental Difference
Dr. Hubbard and Dr. Morgan met one fateful day, during the first month of dental school, over a shared plate of red curry and pad thai. They quickly learned of their shared passion for studying dentistry, valuing community, and understanding the importance of compassion in the medical field. The two were inseparable those four years, and eventually built a friendship that grew into a sisterhood.
In 2021, the two founded neighbor dental with the goal of making going to the dentist feel like you’re being welcomed into a neighbor’s home. It’s their hope to build meaningful relationships with their patients, and nurture a compassionate space where open communication, kindness, and trust make their patients feel comfortable and at home.
