Recently, Dr. Hilgers was featured in an article about advanced orthodontic practices. Education and a commitment to the community were but a few reasons he was selected.
Dr. Hilgers knows the value of a good education, he comes from a long line of orthodontists and dental professionals. So he not only attends continuing education and is a member of numerous study clubs and professional organizations, but he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Colorado. Once he completed the degree, he went to Yale for 2 years for residency. But he wasn't done there. He went on to earn a specialty certificate in orthodontics from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry after studying and receiving his Master of Science. When asked about his educational experience, Dr. Hilgers said, “I am very grateful to have spent time living and studying in both the eastern and western parts of the country. People do things differently on the two coasts, so experiencing that diversity during my education has allowed me to bring a much broader perspective to my practice.”
But Dr. Hilgers passions extend beyond education, “I love my work and can’t imagine doing anything else in the world, but my real passion is my family,” said Dr. Hilgers. He is married to Dr. Kelly Hilgers, a pediatric dentist who’s Hilgers Pediatric Dentistry practice is right down the street. They have a 2-year-old son named Alec. Both Doctors are very involved in the community, often donating through Toys for Tots, Future Farmers of America, American Cancer Society, West Valley Arts Council, and the Coyotes for Kids charity.
