Welcome to Broadway Smiles Dental

Dear Patients,

Hi there! I am so honored to be joining this well-respected practice. I am extremely fortunate and excited that Dr. Bettels-Rhodes has chosen me to work alongside this team in continuing patient care. 

I am a Kansas City girl born and raised, originally from Olathe, Kansas. I grew up in the dental office, as my mother was a Dental Assistant for 30+ years before retiring, and my older sister has been a Dental Assistant for 22 years and counting, so I guess you could say Dentistry is in my blood! I have always had a strong passion for the medical field and learning, so I began my medical training in High School obtaining my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). From there, I attended college at UMKC obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry, with Minors in Spanish and Healing & Humanities, while also expanding my medical background as a Lifeguard and working as an Independent Living Caregiver for young adults with special needs. I became an active member and volunteer of the UMKC Pre-Dental Society and Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity while also shadowing many local dental offices. The more I shadowed and volunteered, the more my passion for Dentistry grew! I attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, and also continued volunteering through Give Kids A Smile.

After graduation I was an Associate at a group practice in Belton, MO. for a few years, then was given the opportunity during the pandemic to practice for a year in rural Nevada, MO. Prior to dental school, I met my significant other in 2013 and we have enjoyed making a life together and sharing our passion for medicine. I have an 18 yr old bonus son, and we also have a 12 yr old Shih Tzu, Bella and 10 yr old French Bulldog, Roscoe, both of which are very active, smart and ornery! We enjoy spending time at the lake, traveling, game nights with family/friends, and are DIEHARD CHIEFS FANS! 

 I am so proud of my humble background and how it led me down my path to becoming a Dentist. I love helping my patients and educating them on their oral health. I am excited to get to know the team and patients as well as work with my team to deliver comprehensive, professional, quality, and compassionate dental care .   

Sincerely,

Dr. Staci N. Osgood
