We are excited to introduce Dr. Lily Crocco and Dr. Sam Crocco! They are making the move to Castle Rock from Anchorage, Alaska.  

 

Sam grew up in Buckley, WA, went to the University of Washington for his undergraduate studies, and then to Western University of Health Sciences in southern California for dental school (this is also where he met his better half, Lily). After getting his DMD degree, Sam completed an AEGD residency in Port Angeles, WA where he received valuable training and experience in advanced dental procedures. He then moved north to Anchorage, AK to pursue exciting dental practice opportunities, and a dream of adventurous living on The Last Frontier.

 

Lily was born and raised in San Diego, CA, completed her bachelor’s degree at Pepperdine University, and then went to Western University of Health Sciences for her dental training (where she met Sam!). Lily started dental school a few years after Sam, so when Sam graduated and moved back to WA, they had to continue their relationship long-distance for several years.  When Lily graduated with her DMD degree, Sam was already living in Alaska, and the two of them got engaged and moved Lily up to AK.  Dr. Lily has pursued an abundance of continuing education in her first 4 years of practice, showing a passion for learning and mastering advanced procedures.  She is adored by her patients and staff alike, for her kind and caring nature. 

 

Lily and Sam were married in November 2023.  After 4 exciting years in Alaska, they decided it was time to move back to the PNW and find a community to serve for the rest of their careers, while also being closer to family and preparing to start a family of their own. Both Drs. Lily and Sam are passionate about serving their patients with individualized care that is of the highest quality.  They want you to know that you can count on honesty, integrity, and dedication in your relationship with them.
