About:

Dr. Deardorff is a Midwesterner, born to a small town in Kansas, and raised in central Iowa. He completed additional training as a general dentistry resident at The University of Michigan Hospital where he treated patients in the clinic, in the emergency room, and in the operating room.

Dr. Deardorff’s dental philosophy is simple: treat people, not patients. He appreciates that everyone’s dental needs and priorities are different and understands that all care happens in the context of an overall person. He particularly enjoys working with people to resolve and realize their goals for dental health.

In 2020, Dr. Deardorff and his wife moved back to Iowa City to be close to their families. Dr. Deardorff enjoys being on the move both in mind and on foot. If Dr. Deardorff isn’t at the dental clinic, you might find him jogging the streets, enjoying a local trail/park, or reading a book with coffee in hand.
