“Dr. Fencl has been a WONDERFUL partner to our program, and she and her team are always so willing to see our referrals and never leave a child behind. They go above and beyond to make sure children get the care that they need. I can’t think of a more deserving practice!”

“I applied to the FIND program because I knew that I wanted to live and work in Iowa long-term and was already committed to helping the underserved. The FIND program seemed like a great opportunity to help me keep this mission and help pay back my student loans at the same time.”

“I feel so blessed to be a recipient of the reward and this is literally changing these kids lives!!!!  You should see how improving their smile changes their personality.”

“As an out of state provider, the FIND program incentivized me to start my practice in Iowa to help with my student loans. Thanks to the FIND program, our practice has grown, and we have added two more pediatric dentists to our practice to help serve many underserved pediatric patients in the area.”

“This program and the work of Dr. Johnson has been instrumental to the health of our children in our community today and tomorrow.  The intersectionality of strong oral health contributing to improved education, confidence, and physical health creates a multiplying effect of success for the individual served and will ripple forward for these patients for a lifetime.  We appreciate and value Delta Dental’s partnership and impact!”

“As a dentist who is very caring and concerned for the welfare of his patients, this award is a well-deserved benefit for Dr. Walls, and also a benefit for Missouri Valley and the surrounding communities.“

“I am so thankful for this [loan repayment] program. Not only did it encourage me to move back to my hometown area, but it has helped tremendously with the financial stressors regarding student loans.”

“Delta Dental’s Loan [Repayment] Program gave me an opportunity to fill a void in the dental community by helping those underserved. I have met many families that were not receiving care because of the drive they had to make to an office that accepted their insurance.”

“Resources that would have gone toward student loan payments can now be reallocated and used to continue to care for the vulnerable populations I care deeply about … Receiving this award will allow me to continue to do what I am most passionate about: providing the best possible dental care to all children who need it.”
