Katie Oswald
Dental Hygienist
Katie earned her dental hygiene degree at Youngstown State University, graduating magna cum laude in 2019. Katie was turned onto the dental field by having great experiences as a child and strives to offer that same level of care to each of her patients. She takes great pride in getting to know who is in her chair and giving them all the tools they need to maintain a healthy mouth. Her favorite part about working at Shiflett Family Dental is sharing her workday with other health care professionals that are just as passionate about their role as she is.
Outside of the office, Katie spends time with her husband (Donato), their son (Ashton), and their two Mini Australian Shepherds (Scout and Ollie). She is quite creative and you can find her working on an art project, playing brass sound bowls, collecting crystals, meditating, or doing yoga.
I really love this place. I have pretty extreme anxiety issues (not just surrounding dentistry but in general) and put off going to the dentist for so many years that my teeth were terrible and I felt too embarrassed and hopeless to even start fixing it. A few years ago, I made my first appointment here and Dr. Shiflett and the staff were very understanding and didn’t make me feel judged about the state of my mouth. I’ve had very, very many appointments since then (and with their suggested endodontists and oral surgeons who also did great work) and can smile confidently again and not to have to worry about tooth pain. The dental work I’ve received has all been complication-free and held up very well. They have also been able to see me on very short notice for a couple emergencies, which I appreciated greatly. There might be cheaper options available in Columbus for emergency needs but if you need a consistent, kind and long term dentist whose work you can be confident in, I recommend this place strongly
