Meet Oral Surgeon Dr. Newby

Growing up in Western Kansas on a farm taught me the value of hard work and honesty. I also had the opportunity to practice basic medicine at a very young age taking care of our own farm animals. Many of these skills and lessons learned on the farm inspired me to want to help people and become an oral surgeon. I look forward to meeting every patient and feel it is my calling to serve others.

Most Rewarding Part of My Practice:   Providing a great experience for my patients through compassionate care that is focused on the patient.

Most Rewarding Case:  Janice, a 56-year-old female, visited me because she was having problems with her denture. She had a medical issue that made it impossible for her removable dentures to work properly. I was able to give her the option of a denture that stays in her mouth. She was thrilled to have new upper and lower teeth that stayed in her mouth and that functioned like real teeth. At her most recent visit, she bragged about how she can eat steak, corn-on-the-cob, and other foods that she has not been able to eat in many years. In addition, right as she was getting ready to leave, she refused to leave without giving me a hug and thanking me for all I have done for her.
