Dr. Alex Shchipkova is delighted to join the team at Redwood Family Dental. Having been a patient of the practice herself, she experienced firsthand the friendly, compassionate, and thorough care that defines the office. She is excited to continue that tradition by building meaningful relationships with patients and providing thoughtful, patient-centered care.
Dr. Shchipkova believes dentistry is most successful when it is collaborative. Her goal is to partner with patients to help them achieve and maintain optimal oral health and a confident smile. Through her training at the Dawson Academy, she developed a strong appreciation for comprehensive dentistry and a proactive approach to care. By focusing on prevention, risk management, routine checkups, and strong home care, she strives to help patients minimize dental problems and maintain long-term oral health. She takes time to listen carefully to each patient’s concerns and tailors treatment plans to meet their individual needs.
She completed both her undergraduate studies and her dental degree at The Ohio State University, where she proudly became a lifelong Buckeye. Dr. Shchipkova continued her training with a General Practice Residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. During her residency, she had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Muench, whose mentorship played an important role in shaping her clinical philosophy and patient-centered approach. Committed to lifelong learning, Dr. Shchipkova regularly pursues continuing education to stay current with the latest research, materials, and techniques in dentistry.
Outside the office, Dr. Shchipkova enjoys baking, crafting with her daughters, watching movies with her husband, and spending time outdoors in any weather. She is currently enjoying the book Atomic Habits and may happily share a recommendation or two when you meet her in person.
