Dr. Cha
Associate Dentist

Hello! My name is Dr. Cha (otherwise known as Stacey 2.0 by Dr. Laiminger’s kids). I grew up in New Jersey right outside of New York City. I attended Rutgers University and then Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. I have wanted to be a dentist ever since I was 10 years old and I have been practicing dentistry in and around the Denver area since 2015. I decided to move out of the city to return to the roots of healthcare, where I can make a more direct and meaningful impact in a community. I’m drawn to the opportunity to work in a setting that values a more personal approach to care, and where I can contribute positively to a community-oriented environment. I am deeply committed to delivering high-quality, comprehensive dental care that empowers patients to take an active role in their oral health through education and support. I love Colorado and the outdoors (especially skiing!) so I am very excited to explore the valley. I enjoy working out, cooking, and eating all different types of foods – I love to try new cuisines! I also like to relax at home with my senior rescue dog named Luna.
