Fort Family Dental is a locally owned and operated dental practice that has been providing outstanding dental services to residents of Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Whitewater, Cambridge and other surrounding communities since 1979. This Fort Atkinson dental clinic was originally opened by Dr. David Luisier, and later purchased by Dr. Sara Podoll. We are conveniently located at 715 Sherman Ave E, Fort Atkinson, WI 53538; right next to the Fort Atkinson Hospital.
Dr. Podoll received her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Marquette University School of Dentistry. After graduation she was offered the opportunity to complete a highly sought after dental residency program at the Veterans Hospital in Portland, OR. She was honored to have the opportunity to work with those who had served our country, while advancing her dental education, skills, and techniques beyond that of what is taught in dental school.
After her residency at the Veterans Hospital, Dr. Podoll relocated back to Wisconsin and began working as a Family Dentist in the Chippewa Valley. It was here that she met her loving husband, Curt, and the two of them had their first child. Eventually they decided to move back to her husband’s home town of Fort Atkinson, to raise their children around family they love.
Hi, my name is Curt and I am the Office Manager at Fort Family Dental and husband of our lovely dentist, Dr. Sara Podoll. I hold a bachelor’s degree is Healthcare Administration and have over 10 years of experience managing businesses in the medical field. I am a lifetime member of the American Association of Dental Office Management and earned my Fellow distinction within the organization in 2021.
I was born and raised in Fort Atkinson and interestingly enough was a patient of the previous owner of Fort Family Dental, Dr. David Luisier, as a child. It has been on honor to take over this amazing dental practice with my wife and maintain its legacy of being a premier choice for dentistry within Fort Atkinson and the surrounding communities.
