Dr Phelps

Dr. Phelps grew up outside of Atlanta, GA and attended Georgia Southern University for his undergraduate studies. At Georgia Southern he received a Bachelor of Science in biology and met his wife, Brandi. After undergrad, Dr. Phelps and his wife relocated to Augusta Georgia where he received his Doctor of Medicine (DMD) in dentistry at the Dental College of Georgia. Dr. Phelps’ passion for dentistry fueled his desire to seek additional education beyond his formal dental school instruction. After finishing dental school, he transitioned into a general practice residency through Sacred Heart Meical Center located in Spokane, WA for advanced training. While in residency Dr. Phelps held full dental surgical privileges at the hospital, allowing him to provide dental care in the hospital operating room. Throughout his residency training, Dr. Phelps routinely treated patients with severe dental anxiety, mental or physical disabilities, or medical complexities that make treatment in a standard office setting impossible.  He worked in conjunction with other members of the healthcare team to manage complicating factors to dental treatment, such as those associated with oncology patients, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, and patients planned for major cardiothoracic surgery. After finishing residency, Dr. Phelps and his wife wanted to move back south to be closer to friends and family. They chose Lenoir City due to its proximity to family as well as the mountains. Away from the dental practice you can find him enjoying nature through camping, hiking, or rock climbing. Dr. Phelps’ personal mission is to provide compassionate, high quality, and patient centered comprehensive care to all his patients no matter the circumstance.
