Dr Mikel Newman

For Dr. Mikel Newman, dentistry is more than a career, it's a passion - and one he shares with his two brothers, Don and Marc. "I love being able to help people lead happier, healthier lives," says Mikel, adding, "Getting to share that experience with my family is an added bonus!" Dr. Mikel graduated with a BA in Chemistry from Indiana University and earned his DDS at Indiana University Dental School before joining his brothers at Newman Family Dentistry. Of all the procedures Mikel does daily, helping with tongue tied or lip tied infants with breast feeding difficulties is his favorite. In these cases, "frenectomies make a huge difference in a child's ability to nurse or eat. Parents have to trust their child's doctor, so my job is to be trustworthy, patient, caring, and skilled so I can live up to that trust!" When he isn't working with babies and other patients, Dr. Mikel enjoys spending time with his wife, Natalie, two daughters Vivienne and Violet, and his golden retriever, Luna. For fun, Dr. Mikel enjoys watching the Colts, Pacers, and Hoosier games. Dr. Mikel enjoys spending his free time working out, running, and playing tennis.
