Meet Dr. Renggli

Bio

Hi, I’m Dr. Desire Renggli.

I was born in Ethiopia and immigrated to West Virginia at the young age of 5. My family’s journey brought us to Maryland in 2005 and I have been living here ever since.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from University of Maryland, College Park. I continued my journey by attending dental school at University of Maryland School of Dentistry. Following dental school, I completed a 1-year General Practice Residency in New York.

What I love about dentistry is that I get to play an active role in improving the quality of people’s lives by providing the time and services needed to help restore their smiles. I prioritize patient education and comfort, so please feel free to ask me any questions!

I understand that dentistry is beyond fixing teeth; it is about treating people. More importantly, I have learned that trust is a crucial component of the patient-dentist relationship when it comes to fostering positive oral health habits.

In my free time I try to be active by going to the gym consistently and have rekindled my love for bouldering. I love cooking and eating all types of cuisine. My current obsession is Korean BBQ and Peruvian chicken (ask me about my favorite Peruvian restaurants!) I enjoy learning new skills; I am currently teaching myself how to read music and play the keyboard.

I look forward to meeting you!

  The staff are all very friendly and make you feel right at home. I especially love Tiffany at the front desk, she's the best! I have been coming here for about 6 years now and haven't had any complaints. I got to meet Dr. Gear and she was fantastic. She took her time to explain the preventive care that was being suggested, answered all of my questions in great detail, and diligently and quickly did my fill in. I highly recommend this dental office!!

  A place where you can go and be genuinely appreciated. Every aspect of your procedure is carefully performed and described to. Valley Dental Health is more than worth 1 hour drive I take to get there.
