North Ridgeville
Meet Dr. Halle
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and let you all know I have joined the Riveredge Dentistry family in July 2013. It is such an exciting time for me to start my career after planning on being a dentist for so long. I am currently living in Ohio City with my husband Max Gibson. We were married November 2013! I love going to Indians games, reading, working in my garden, traveling, cooking (and eating even more!), and teeth of course!
Many of you I have already met since I was dental assisting in the Kamm's Corner location during the summer breaks of high school and college. While I spent part of my childhood in Westpark at OLA, my family moved to Valley City, Ohio (the frog jumping capital of Ohio!). I went to Buckeye High School where I participated in volleyball and mock trial. I then went to get my bachelor’s degree in Biology at Walsh University in North Canton. There, I was in many plays; the science club (who doesn’t like making ice cream from liquid nitrogen!?); worked in another dental office in the community; and spent a semester studying abroad in Rome. My dream finally came true when I got accepted into five dental schools my senior year. I chose to continue my education at Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine because I am a Cleveland girl at heart and they uniquely have their students begin seeing patients the very first semester!
At Case we were given a first rate education that included problem based learning, new treatment techniques, and a busy curriculum! There I participated in social and academic activities through my fraternity Delta Sigma Delta. I even had the opportunity to do a mission trip to Guatemala where 8 of my classmates and I spent a week doing fillings and extractions for the locals. Now I am thrilled to be able to share my expertise and passion with all of you! I currently work at my office in North Ridgeville, with Dr. Bill in the Kamm's Corner's office, and I also temp in Akron to gain more experience with emergency dentistry.
