About Us
Meet Our Doctor
Dr. Phillip Lance
Since he was a teenager, Dr. Lance knew God had something big planned for him. He didn’t know what exactly, but he knew he had to be prepared for it when it came. He played college soccer in a small town at Rio Grande University, where he met his beautiful and inspiring wife, Lindsay, and went on to receive his dental education from the Ohio State University Dental School.
Military Service
Dr. Lance loves to serve others, so he started by serving his country for six years. He was stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY for one year, Ft. Bliss, TX with the 1st Armored Division for two years, and Vicenza, Italy for three years. During this time, he volunteered at the Red Cross helping train other volunteers including the wives of deployed soldiers. Seeing these wives and mothers live without their husbands for a year or more really hit home—few people realize how hard life can be for military families.
Giving Back
While he is just beginning this journey of starting his own dental practice to fulfill his life’s work, he is a man with a plan to make the world a better place. He is a strong believer in living life according to your own core values and is dedicated to helping others find strength in their own lives. Dr. Lance loves to give back in any way he can, including being a regular blood donor and going on a dental mission trip to Honduras that opened his eyes and helped him realize how truly blessed we are.
Family Life
With each move to a new station location, he and Lindsay welcomed a new baby—Allison, Jackson, Amelia, and James. He knew that being a good husband and father was the greatest calling he could ever have, but his calling for caring did not stop there. Looking around, seeing so many people struggling, he knew he needed to do more to help beyond his own family.
Mission for Good
By doing what is right for others and establishing meaningful personal relationships, Dr. Lance is on a mission to bring the most profound impact to the greatest number of people in our community and beyond.
