Meet
Dr. Derren Tippets
While growing up in Colorado Dr. Tippets had a fantastic childhood. He enjoyed many sports and outdoor activities such as football, basketball, and soccer. Boy Scouts was a significant influence in his life as he spent many weekends skiing, camping, fishing, backpacking, and snowmobiling. Continuing to enjoy the outdoors as an adult he’s added freediving, spearfishing, boating, and scuba diving to his list of favorite activities.
Dr. Tippets has two amazing parents, 4 siblings, 4 children, and two dogs. Spending time with his wonderful family is one of his favorite things to do with his freetime.
While studying history at BYU Dr. Tippets realized he loved dentistry and decided to attend dental school which moved his small family to south Florida near Nova Southeastern University. Following graduation in 2006 he completed a 2 year residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Temple Hospital in Philadelphia. His first office was started in 2008 and has therefore been treating kids for nearly 20 years!
