Meet Dr. Michael J. Hilgers

I attended the University of Colorado where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I then went on to complete a two-year residency at Yale University. I decided I really wanted to practice orthodontics, so I went to the University Of Louisville School Of Dentistry to earn a Master of Science degree and a specialty certificate in Orthodontics. I have been providing orthodontic care in the Goodyear community since 2005.

My wife, Kelly (who is a pediatric dentist), and son, Alec, and I love Goodyear for its diverse offerings. We enjoy many activities together from hiking, cycling, golf, and fishing to Luke Air Force Base shows and Estrella Mountain Regional Park hikes. Sometimes we travel to the White Tank Mountain Regional Park for the weekend. Whatever it is, we like to stay active, involved in the community, and engaged with our 2-year old son.

As the field of orthodontics is constantly evolving, I remain active in professional communities by attending numerous continuing education courses throughout the year. Be it new technologies, medical products, or advanced techniques, I like to stay at the forefront of developments to provide state-of-the-art treatment options to my patients. I also am involved with several local and national study groups, and I continually publish scientific articles and give numerous lectures on orthodontics.
