He first remembers saying he wanted to become a dentist when he was in the 2nd grade. Dr. Sattler attributes this to needing extensive dental work when he was young and having a very kind and positive pediatric dentist who mentored him and even let him job shadow while in elementary school.  Dr. Sattler’s love for dentistry blends well with his interest in art and working with his hands. His desire for helping people and fixing their smiles, mixed with his compassionate chairside manner, makes him a great fit here at Stonecreek Dental.
