ABOUT ME

“The thing that first attracted me to dentistry was that I had a great dentist growing up. While in college, I started volunteering at community dental clinics and saw the amazing differences dentists can make in improving people’s quality of life! Now I get to do that every day.”
After graduating from the University of Utah, Dr. Hoopes received his Dental Degree from the University of Utah School of Dentistry.
