Meet the Team

Jeanne Anne Krizman, DMD MPH

Dr. Krizman learned the importance of listening and caring for people from her parents, both health care professionals.

"From a young age, I knew I wanted a career in health care.  I chose dentistry, because it’s one of the few fields in health care where the doctor can spend more than 5 minutes with his or her patients.  I want my patients to feel that I care, and they’re not just a number in the health care system."

Dr. Krizman completed her DMD degree and a residency in Advanced General Dentistry at The Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. In dental school, she was awarded the "Excellence in Implant Dentistry" award.  She also has a Master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in Environmental and Occupational Health from The University of Arizona College of Public Health.  Dr. Krizman believes that both her public health master’s degree and her education at a dental school that stresses whole-person health care, gives her a unique perspective in dental care.

"I care about my patient’s overall health, and believe that preventative medicine begins in the mouth.  Patients need to be aware of the correlation between poor oral hygiene and some diseases, such at cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.  I tell my patients that "your mouth is the window to your overall health."

Providing the best, most informative care to patients, is of critical importance.  Therefore, Dr. Krizman completes over 100 hours of continuing education every year.  Last, year, she completed her Master Certification in implant placement and advanced surgical procedures through Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, and she completed advanced training in ozone treatment.  Over the next year, she will be traveling to New Jersey to acquire her Integrative Biological Dental Medicine degree through the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry.

Dr. Krizman came to Arizona from South Bend, Indiana in 1992, when she was recruited to play on The University of Arizona’s Women’s Golf Team.  She is a member of the 1996 NCAA Women’s National Championship Golf Team and was inducted into The University of Arizona’s Hall of Fame.  She is a scratch golfer, and also raced as a professional triathlete. She competed in the Ironman Hawaii World Championship three times, with a top 15 finish.  Dr.Krizman still enjoys swimming, biking, running, and golfing, but spends most her time chasing her two young sons, and with patients in the dental office.

"Like many people, I don’t like to go to the dentist, so I try to make it an enjoyable, non-stressful experience.  I respect your schedule, and try to do the best job I can for my patients, as efficiently as I can.  I take great pride in my work and patient satisfaction."
