About
My name is Kari Brennan! I am a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2006. The fall of 2015 I opened my Independent Dental Hygiene Practice here in Meeker, CO. In 2023 we built a new beautiful office at a new location in downtown Meeker! I was born here and have always loved this small town and after practicing in other offices around the area since 2006 I decided to open my own practice! I strive to provide quality, comfortable, comprehensive dental services. I look forward to meeting you and creating one of the best dental experiences you've had!!
