Volunteer Dentistry

In 2006, Dr. Albers helped start a dental clinic for Mission Medical.  He is a past board member of Mission Medical, and volunteered for a number of years at the Mission Medical Dental Clinic.  Dr. Albers also volunteers for  COMOM (Colorado Mission of Mercy), sponsored by the Colorado Dental Association.  COMOM organizes annual free two-day dental clinics in different towns and cities throughout Colorado.  Dr. Albers worked with Teens With Promise, a local charity that advocated for at-risk teens in the Pikes Peak Region.  Internationally, Dr. Albers and his family traveled with OneChild (a children’s ministry headquartered in Colorado Springs) to the Dominican Republic and Kenya to provide dental care to sponsored children.  His most recent dental volunteer work took him to Fiji and Tarawa Atoll in the south and central Pacific Ocean.

Family

Although Dr. Albers and his wife both grew up in Nebraska, they met in Colorado Springs while playing on a co-ed softball team.  They married in 1988 and raised their kids in Colorado Springs.  Dr. Albers and his wife were very active in coaching and attending sporting events when their kids were younger.  They are now enjoying life as empty-nesters!  In his spare time – which he has more of now – Dr. Albers enjoys camping, fishing, snowboarding, and golfing.  He recently finished two terms as a deacon at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Colorado Springs.

Michele

Colorado native Michele runs our front desk. She met Dr. Albers in 1988 through her Aunt Susan who, at the time, was Dr. Albers’ dental assistant. A patient first, Michele stepped into Susan’s position in 1998. After assisting Dr. Albers for more than 16 years, she made the move to our front desk in late 2014. Now, she enjoys working with our patients in a different capacity. Michele married her long-time sweetheart and together they have two children and several dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys many outdoor activities and adventures, and frequently volunteers for a local favorite, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

Susan

Another Colorado native, Susan first met Dr. Albers in 1987 when they worked for a group practice in Colorado Springs. When Dr. Albers left to open his own office, she went with him as his dental assistant. She stepped away from assisting for a time after the birth of her daughter. Subsequently, she returned to work in the Colorado Springs area. Susan had the opportunity to return to our office as Dr. Albers’ assistant when Michele moved to the front desk. It was fun to see the familiar faces of patients she knew from her previous work with Dr. Albers. She has also enjoyed reuniting with Jane, with whom she and Dr. Albers worked at the group practice early in their careers. In her free time, Susan enjoys reading, hitting the walking trails, and going to estate sales.

Lee Ann

Lee Ann was born and raised in Americus, Georgia. After graduating from Darton College in Albany, Georgia, she practiced dental hygiene in Georgia for several years. Lee Ann married husband, Bill, in 1983, and they made Colorado Springs their permanent home. She has been a practicing dental hygienist for more than 40 years and loves her profession. She joined Dr. Albers’ practice in 1998 because she appreciates the personal attention patients receive in a smaller office. Lee Ann’s interests include cooking, traveling, sports, and her newest passion….Orange Theory Fitness! She and Bill adopt rescue bloodhounds, which also keeps them busy!

Jane

Jane was raised in Littleton and Pueblo, Colorado. Since graduating from Pueblo Community College in 1983, she has worked as a dental hygienist in several states including Colorado, Hawaii and Missouri. Jane first started working with Dr. Albers in 1987 in a group practice, then joined him again when he bought his own practice. Jane left the office when her family moved to Missouri and Georgia. Following their return to Colorado Springs, she began subbing at our office as a dental hygienist. She officially rejoined our staff in 2011. Jane has been married more than 30 years, has three adult children, and has two golden-doodles who remain at home. She loves to ski, play golf, travel, and read a good book.
