Welcome to Michigan Animal Dental Specialists!

Dr. Molly Angel, DVM, DAVDC, FAVD established the Michigan Animal Dental Specialists practice in 2019.

She then completed the arduous task of her dental specialty residency while establishing and growing the Goodison Veterinary Center into a thriving veterinary general practice. In her spare time, Dr. Molly labors on her farm raising Hampshire Sheep and Boer goats, and is an avid cyclist and distance runner.
