Dr. Chad Ross
Hi MINI MINERS! I became a pediatric dentist because of the focus on prevention, the ability to offer minimally invasive options, and my goal to make each visit fun and worry free!
I was born and raised outside of Tampa, Florida (go Bucs!), completed my B.S. in biology at the University of Florida before heading up to Philadelphia for dental school and pediatric dental residency. I loved giving back to the community with the Special Olympics, Give Kids a Smile, and the Ronald McDonald mobile dental clinic!
Since residency, I have worked in private practice, serving the communities of Philadelphia (go Birds!) and Detroit (also go Lions!) before moving to Denver (and Broncos too!).
When I am not keeping smiles healthy, I am probably spending time outdoors with my wife, Amanda, a general dentist. I may also be hiking or at a dog park or brewery with my happy lab/pitty mix, Obi. I also have two tabby cats, Kiara and Spaghetti. I love to snowboard, watch football and basketball, cook and go out to eat, go to concerts, add more scrub caps to my online cart, and spend time with friends and family!
I look forward to meeting you and your family!
