A Note from Dr. Ganz
It has been my greatest pleasure to serve you and your families’ dental needs over
the past 20 years. I want to thank you for your continued support and loyalty.
I also wanted to inform you of some exciting changes at our office. I have decided to bring my
clinical career to an end and pass along Rabbit Ears Dental to another exciting and promising dentist.
I would like to introduce Dr. Joy Troxel. She is a previous resident of Indiana, where
she did all of her undergraduate and professional training. She and her husband
moved to Fort Collins in 2017 and relocated to Steamboat in 2019. They saw what
we all see—a beautiful community with wonderful people and stunning resources.
Dr. Joy has decided to invest her life in Routt County, in Rabbit Ears Dental, and in
You—our wonderful patients.
Dr. Joy has been a practicing dentist for many years, and I have seen both the
quality of her work and the kindness with which she treats her patients. I feel truly
fortunate to have her on the Rabbit Ears Dental team and in our community!
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Joy at your next visit to Rabbit Ears Dental!
