At Golden Hill Family Dentistry, we wouldn’t want you to see us as just a person in a white coat wielding a metal hook. We want you to see us as caring professionals, and everyday people just like you! Take a few moments to read about our dentists and hygienists, and call our Lakewood, CO office for an appointment.
Dr. Grace E. Rudersdorf, DDS
Dr. Grace has been practicing general dentistry and living in Denver since 2014. She is originally from Omaha, NE where she spent the majority of her life. She received her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Spanish from Creighton University in 2009. After undergrad, she spent a year volunteering through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Yakima, WA. She then went on to graduate from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2014.
After dental school, she participated in a mini-residency through the Academy of Implant Dentistry where she learned the surgical and restorative aspects of implant dentistry. She is currently going through another mini-residency through Progressive Orthodontic Seminars to further her knowledge of orthodontics. Dr. Grace is constantly expanding her knowledge in order to offer her patients the most up-to-date techniques and practices in the ever-changing dental field.
Her interest in dentistry was greatly influenced by her uncle, who exposed her to the rewards of improving quality of life by creating and maintaining healthy smiles. She enjoys working with her hands, interacting with people, and science, so dentistry was a natural fit.
When she is not working, she enjoys camping, hiking, skiing, microbreweries, spending time with family and friends and her dog, Oliver.
Luisa, Office Manager
Luisa was born in Hereford, Texas but moved to Fort Morgan, Colorado when she was 8 years old. Luisa has been working in the dental field for four years with previous work in communications and customer service. She never thought she would get involved in dentistry, but she is grateful for the first dentist she worked with who took a leap of faith with her and gave her the opportunity to learn. Since then she has enjoyed every minute of it. Luisa is our insurance and treatment plan coordinator. She can answer any questions you might have about the financial aspects of your dental care.
When Luisa is not working she loves watching baseball. Her team is of course the Colorado Rockies! She also enjoys spending time volunteering at an assisted living facility where she visits with residents and lends a listening ear to let them tell their stories. She loves the outdoors: hiking, camping, riding bikes etc. This year she checked two things off her bucket list: running a marathon and skydiving! She plans on doing both once again in 2018.
