Dr. Frannie Rensch joined PDS at our Omaha location in 2022—a homecoming for her, as she was born and raised in Omaha!
Dr. Frannie loves helping children feel proud of themselves for being brave during their visits. Watching them leave feeling confident and empowered is one of the greatest rewards of her work.
But Dr. Frannie’s arrival wasn’t the only exciting milestone for PDS in late 2022 and 2023!
In April 2023, we expanded to Kearney! As a growing and thriving community, Kearney was the perfect place for PDS to continue growing. That spring, we began renovating the clinic we purchased, transforming it into the welcoming, kid-friendly environment families have come to expect from every PDS location.
Just one month later, we celebrated another incredible honor: Dr. Meeske was named Pediatric Dentist of the Year by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry! Dr. Meeske is a valued partner, mentor, and doctor whose leadership has made a lasting impact on PDS and the field of pediatric dentistry.
Finally, in September 2023, we welcomed Dr. Natalie Bussard to our Kearney practice. Raised in North Platte, Dr. Bussard began her journey through the Rural Health Opportunities Program at Wayne State College. During her education there, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry, and beyond, she discovered her passion for public health, disease prevention, and pediatric dentistry.
We love having Dr. Natalie on our team and watching the wonderful culture she continues to build at PDS–Kearney!
