Dr Michaela Betts

Growing up, I worked as a surgical assistant for my father, an oral surgeon in the community. I loved working there, but being young, I was unsure of my career path. What I was sure of was I loved sports. Being an athlete and playing sports all my life and throughout college (swimming and water polo), I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in advertising. After college, I moved to Chicago and worked for Big Ten Network in the marketing department. Over time, I realized I was not happy with what I was doing and decided to pursue dentistry and follow in my father’s footsteps. That was the hardest but best decision, and I am forever grateful for believing in myself and my abilities. I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, the same place my father graduated. Having him hood me during my graduation ceremony will forever hold a special place in my heart. My hard work and determination led me to where I am today, and I will be sure to carry that through to my patients in my dental career. I am a Michigan native that enjoys spending time with my family, friends and husband. I love playing sports, spending time outdoors, hiking, traveling, cooking, photography and of course, my red golden retriever.
