Dr. Angela C. Dotson, DDS
Dr. Angela Dotson received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in her home state of Washington, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, at the renowned University of Washington School of Dentistry in 2005.
After completing an intensive, competitive one year general practice residency at the UW in 2006, she decided to make Arizona her home.
She continues to have many ties to the Pacific Northwest including family and many dental colleagues but loves the people and weather here in the Valley of the Sun! She considers this her home! You may run into her on a flight to Seattle to visit family and attend a continuing education course at the UW, or returning home to Phoenix where she resides with her husband and young daughter who are both native to the valley.
Dr. Dotson has a broad range of dental expertise which has grown from her excellent education and wide range of dental experiences.
She has practiced in a hospital setting, a children's sedation office, and family practice. These diverse experiences enable her to provide most general dentistry needs to your entire family in conjunction with light to deeper sedation when desired.
Dr. Dotson can administer light sedation herself. If you desire deeper sedation, she holds a special permit which allows her to bring a top notch medical doctor anesthesia team right to the office.
Dr. Dotson believes in continuing education and technology to give you premier treatment. She is also known by her patients for having a warm bedside manner, down-to-earth demeanor, and approachable personality. Dr. Dotson's primary goal is to help you and your family achieve your dental desires in a caring, comfortable, progressive environment that is tailored just to you!
