Meet Dr. Susan E. Hodges
Being a dentist gives me the opportunity to truly help people on an individual level. Whether I’m relieving pain, improving a smile, restoring function, or teaching someone how to care for their oral health, I’m making a difference in their quality of life.
We serve a diverse community, from all walks of life, and each person has their own stories and experiences to share. I’m honored when a patient tells me about their family, talks about their goals, or shares a funny anecdote. Our conversations create a bond of trust and that allows me to best meet that person’s oral health needs.
I love providing dental care to families: it’s a wonderful feeling to be included in their lives and see a family grow over the years. I celebrate their graduations, new jobs, retirements, and weddings, and welcome their new children. Each patient is important to me as a person, and I am grateful to be entrusted with the health of their smile.
One of the things I appreciate most about Capitol Hill Dental Group is our commitment to technology. Advancements in this area means better, more comfortable, and more accurate treatment and incredible, lasting results! — Dr. Susan E. Hodges
