Meet Dr. Jessica Roeber

Dr. Roeber was born in Paonia, Colorado, and raised on a small cattle ranch with her three siblings. She attended Western State College for two years on a basketball scholarship and then transferred to the University of Northern Colorado on an academic scholarship, where she finished her degree in cellular biology. She then moved to Denver, attended the University of Colorado, and was awarded a Health Professionals Scholarship through the United States Army.

Upon graduating from dental school, she was selected for a one-year AEGD residency at Joint Base Lewis McChord. Following her residency, she served two years as a brigade dentist for the 82nd Airborne in North Carolina, where her duties included jumping out of airplanes and setting up remote dental facilities. She then continued her military career by moving overseas for two years, where she served as a general dentist in Stuttgart, Germany, and enjoyed traveling and immersing herself in European culture.

Dr. Roeber moved back stateside after being accepted into the United States Army Endodontic Residency program at Fort Bragg, NC. During this time, she earned a certificate in endodontics and a master’s degree in Oral Biology. Upon graduation, she received orders to Ft. Bliss, TX, where she was a crucial leader in the second-largest dental clinic in the Army and assisted in teaching at the 1-year AEGD residency. After three years in Texas, Dr. Roeber decided to transition out of the military to be with her husband, who also serves in the military, in San Diego.

Outside of her professional life, Dr. Roeber enjoys spending time with her husband, embracing the outdoors, and visiting her family ranch in Colorado.
