Dr Owens was born and raised in Star Valley Wyoming. He loves the valley and has always dreamed of raising his own family in Star Valley. Dr Owens attended BYU-Idaho for his Bachelors degree in Biology and Chemistry. He then went to dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Upon graduation, Dr Owens moved to Evanston, Wyoming where he practiced dentistry from 2015-2024. When the opportunity arose to come back to the valley, he jumped at the opportunity. He feels blessed to have acquired Swift Creek Dental from Dr Norman and hopes to provide the same level of highest care.
Dr Owens and his wife Megan have six kids (three boys and three girls). They enjoy camping, hiking, 4-wheeling, game night, fishing, exploring surrounding areas, and doing the many activities available in this great valley.
Hi my name is Michelle Simpson. I grew up here in Star Valley and moved back to the valley with my husband Peyton a few years ago. We love that we have the opportunity to live here. You can normally find us when we’re not at work golfing and fishing. I love to read and enjoy crafts. When the snow starts to fall I will be inside with a blanket, a book, and some yarn. I graduated from BYU-Idaho and after school I found work in Utah doing billing and insurance. I’m excited to be a part of Dr. Owens team and will be there at the front desk to welcome you in.
My name is Ashley Rothermel. I’m married to Orrin Rothermel, and we have two amazing kids. I love to travel and make memories with my little family. I have a love for the outdoors and being outside. You’ll catch me out on my front porch quite often during the warmer months. I’ve been a dental assistant since 2010 but took a break from assisting in 2013-2021 to be at home with my kids. I love my job and getting to know our patients.
I grew up in Thayne, WY and now live in Afton with my husband and our child. I love being in the outdoors riding four wheelers, camping, fishing, and hunting. I love meeting new people and getting to know each and everyone.
My name is Miranda, I was born and raised in Evanston Wyoming. I went to school at the Utah College of Dental Hygiene where I earned my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene. I am always on the go and enjoy spending my time hiking, camping and fishing. I enjoy traveling as much as I can but am always happiest surrounded by my friends and family. I am excited to work with such a great community.
Chantel was born and raised in Rock Springs, WY but her Star Valley roots run deep. Both sides of her family are from the valley so many of her childhood summers were spent working at the family owned Red Baron Drive-In. Chantel received her Bachelor’s degree in Health Science from Boise State University. She then went on to the Utah College of Dental Hygiene in Orem where she graduated with a second Bachelor’s degree. It was then that Dr. Norman offered her a job at Family Dental Care (now Swift Creek Dental). Chantel moved to Star Valley in 2012 and has been working as a hygienist ever since! She met her husband Kyle shortly after moving to the valley. They now live in Smoot, happily raising their three kids. Together they enjoy watching and playing sports, hiking and camping!
Hi! My name is Adrianne Wood. I have been married to Dan Wood for 30 years and together we have four fabulous daughters. Three are married and our youngest is a senior this year. We also have two of the best grandsons and they are our joy! In my spare time you will find me in the garden, baking or watching true crime documentaries. I also have recently enjoyed learning to crochet! I love dentistry and have been in this line of work for 30 years! I worked with Dr Norman for 9 years and am now excited to enter into a new adventure with Dr Owens. I look forward to continuing serving our patients of Star Valley with Swift Creek Dental.
