Dr. Felicia Frizzell, DDS, MHS, FACD
I'm Dr. Felicia Frizzell, and I'm delighted to serve the community where I was raised—the beautiful mountains that I call home. My journey into dentistry began at the age of five, during a memorable field trip to this very office. It was here that I received my first cherry red toothbrush and was captivated by the world of dentistry, thanks to the shiny instruments and the warm welcome from Dr. Tate and Dr. Waters. Following my passion, I pursued higher education at Stanford University, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Human Biology. My commitment to understanding the critical role of oral health in overall wellness led me to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I earned a Master's degree in Health Science. My educational journey culminated at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, where I had the honor of becoming the first Mescalero Apache dentist. My philosophy is straightforward—oral health is the cornerstone of general health. I am committed to alleviating pain and enhancing the beauty of your smile through skilled dental care. Beyond the office, I am actively involved in national public health initiatives and contribute to various presentations and publications aimed at improving dental health policies. I also find joy in mentoring the youth and inspiring them to explore rewarding careers in dental care. Outside of my professional life, I cherish living in our sacred mountains with my six-year-old son Freddie, staying close to our family and the community that shaped me. I look forward to meeting you and offering compassionate, comprehensive dental care that supports not just your oral health, but your overall well-being.
