Meet the Team

Dr. Kaley Bontrager

“Working here is honestly a dream-come-true for me. I always knew I wanted to be a healthcare provider in a small town where I would get to care for people who were my neighbors and friends. I wanted to treat families and watch their kids grow up and have kids. That’s why I’m so thankful to be a part of the town of LaGrange. Some days my life feels like a Hallmark movie, and I LOVE it.”

Dr. Wade Troyer

I look forward to getting to know each of my patients and their families. At LFD, we provide transparent and honest diagnostic information to everyone, giving the patient the tools needed to make a decision on what treatment plans are the best fit for them. Providing the highest quality of care by treating each and everyone as family as well as providing oral health education are some of my core values and the reasons I chose to become a dentist.”

Operations Manager

“Over the course of my life I have found my satisfaction comes from building relationships and being focused on the lives of others. I’m living this dream because I have the opportunity every day to do just that. I’m a firm believer that God brought my family to the community of LaGrange for a reason. I just want to make myself available in any way possible.”

Dr. Gabrielle Johnson

"I would describe myself as an extroverted humanitarian and science nerd, who LOVES to learn and empower others through education, making Dentistry the perfect profession for me! Providing patients with the tools and care to maintain oral health and improve their quality of life is a privilege that I value very much. I especially love that we offer the patients at LaGrange Family Dentistry the highest standard of care through our commitment to continued education and professional training.”

Dr. Cody Richardson

“It has been inspiring to watch LaGrange Family Dentistry transform over the years and I’m eager to grow with the practice and serve the community I grew up in.  I’ve always been intrigued by the medical aspect of dentistry and how it affects the overall quality of life and wellbeing. I am excited to share that education with my patients and blend my passions for science and art. LaGrange Family Dentistry provides me with the opportunity to challenge myself, work with a team with the same values, and continue lifelong learning that can ultimately improve the health and confidence of my patients.”

Dr. Sireen Yang

“Being an orthodontist has truly been a blessing from God. I find it so incredible that I get to care for others, make a difference, and do something so fulfilling all at the same time. Helping people achieve their goals and create smiles they love makes each and every day such a joy. I love the wonderful family and team we have at LaGrange Family Dentistry, and I love even more that we can partner with our amazing community here.”
