Barbara Churchill, D. D. S

Dr. Churchill attended Ohio State University and began her career in dentistry as a registered Dental Hygienist. After thirteen years, Dr. Churchill decided that she wanted to become a dentist. Her youngest of three sons was in first grade when she decided to go back to school at Ohio State. After graduating Suma Cum Laude in 1978, the doctor began her private practice. After thirty years of running that successful practice, she sold it and moved from Ohio, where she had lived her whole life, to Alaska looking for something new. That was two and a half years ago. Today, Dr. Churchill says that she absolutely loves her time at Alaska Center for Dentistry. In her free time, Dr. Churchill enjoys cooking, sewing, decorating, gardening and working on her home-built 1935 International Pickup. Now that she is living in Alaska, the Doctor has added skiing, snowshoeing, dancing, tent camping and fishing to her list! According to Dr. Churchill, “I really enjoy working with the patients at Alaska Center for Dentistry Anchorage. Our staff is so attentive to the needs of our patients that it makes it a wonderful place to work.”

Michael Maxwell, D.D.S

Dr. Maxwell attended Loma Linda University School of Dentistry near Redlands California and graduated in 1968. In 1969, he and his wife moved to Alaska only planning on staying for five years. After experiencing the charm and beauty Alaska has to offer, they couldn’t bring themselves to leave and are now proud to call Alaska their home.  Thirty years ago Dr. Maxwell started his practice and is an active member of the local, state and national Dental Societies. He has attended many continuing education courses and has advanced training in dental lasers and conscious sedation. Cosmetic dentistry is a large part of why he loves dentistry so much because he gets to help patients achieve their optimum dental health in a gental, caring way.
