“I was always working on something” be it in the kitchen, garden or my dad’s workshop.

Thus, begins the story of how Stacia became a dentist. It all started when she was a child working with her dad in his workshop.

Dr. Stacia Krantz came to her career in dentistry at the suggestion of her dad, who was an orthopedic surgeon. “I spent many hours in our garage workshop with him, using our hands to create things. I was always building or working on a project with him.” “ My family still jokes to this day, if we did not have a project to work on Dad would “create” one.”

My path to becoming a dentist was not as straight and obvious as one would imagine. My father is a dentist, so the logical conclusion is that I chose this career because of my father. That is, however, not the case. Many things lead up to my choice, and now I can say, with certainty, that twenty-one years of practicing has helped me to develop my own practice philosophy I approach my patients with today.
