New Dentist
Dr. Sarah Oppel-Brown
I
t’s great to be back in New Mexico. This time last year I was experiencing the
cold and windy winter weather of Omaha in my final year of dental school at
Creighton University. I was born and raised in Albuquerque where I attended
Sandia High School. I attended Oklahoma State University where I studied biochem-
istry and molecular biology with a minor in business management. This year I
am fulfilling my life long dream of being a dentist, and embracing the challenges
and rewards that comes with owning and operating my own clinic, Oppel Family
Dentistry. I purchased my practice from Gary Muscarella, DDS and I am excited
to continue treating his patients under our shared philosophy. I look forward to
putting the skills I learned to use in providing dental care to support overall health.
I appreciate the opportunity to serve patients in my hometown. I look forward to
treating patients with the high quality of care they deserve.
I married Roger Brown in July of 2014. My husband does cancer research at the
University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center. I enjoy sharing and
teaching him about all the things I love about New Mexico. In my spare time I enjoy
yoga, watching college basketball and football. I look forward to getting involved in
my community and sharing the importance of patient centered dental care.
