Dr Susan Charles

Dr. Susan Charles was born and raised in Kansas City. She worked for her father, Dr. Jerome Holtzman, a general dentist who practiced in Prairie Village, Kansas, for over 50 years. During this time, she obtained her BA in art history from UMKC but enjoyed working with her father so much that she realized the dental field was where she wanted to be. She graduated from UMKC school of dentistry in 2008. Afterward, she worked as an advanced fellow in the special patient care center at the dental school, where much of the practice concentrated on treating oncology, transplant, and special needs patients.

She and Jim also enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, and visiting local art museums.
