Meet Dr. Madeline Goettl
In high school, I began working at a pediatric dental office as a sterilization technician. Soon after starting, I transitioned to a dental assistant. This experience made me realize how much I enjoyed dentistry and working with children, and I am beyond grateful to have been given that opportunity. Throughout my dental education, I had amazing faculty who helped shape my passion and strengthen my love for pediatric dentistry.
I thoroughly enjoy working with kids every day and I absolutely love getting to know every family. It is always great hearing what they have been up to and what they are most excited about. I enjoy helping kids develop a positive outlook on their oral health and making each visit fun! Not only am I able to work with kids every day, the team at Smiles In Motion is exceptional and I absolutely love my “work family”!
Madeline Goettl, DDS
Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist
I am originally from a small town in southern Wisconsin where I grew up on a mint farm and have always enjoyed a rural community. My husband, Chris, was born and raised in the Chippewa Falls area and we love being a part of the Chippewa Valley. We have been blessed with two beautiful children, Owen and Julia. My family and I enjoy everything about the outdoors including running, biking, camping, boating, hunting, and fishing, all which the Chippewa Valley offers. My kids and I share a love for horses and are fortunate enough to have a horse of our own, Toby. If I’m not seeing patients, there is a good chance you can find us at the horse barn. In the summer months we try to get to as many shows as we can!
