LACOMBE DENTAL CLINIC - Key Persons
Dr. Devon Lynn was born, raised, and attended college in Red Deer. He completed his first degree at the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science. The next adventure would take him and his wife Tiffany across the world to study dentistry in Australia. While living abroad, they welcomed two sons into their lives.
Dr. Lynn values kindness and honesty as well as the delivery of quality dental care. He believes that he can make a difference in patients' lives by encouraging them to be active in their treatment decision process, and educating them as to how they can maintain a healthy smile for life.
He enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, rock climbing, snowboarding, and cooking.
Dr. Lynn is a registered member of the College of Dental Surgeons of Alberta.
Linda moved here in 1985. She has worked in the health care field for 30 years, and has been at Lacombe Dental Clinic since 2005. She is a life-long learner, a TED talk member and listens to podcasts. She also enjoys weight lifting, spin biking and running.
Dr. Elisabeth Specht is a proud native of Lacombe, growing up on a farm just off Milton Road. She graduated from the University of Alberta with her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2007. She then completed a General Practice Residency at the University of Alberta Hospital. For five years, she happily worked there to treat severely medically compromised patients. Following her residency, she worked in the Northwest Territories for several years.
Through these experiences, she realized her biggest passion was in dentistry, specifically dental surgery and dental sedation. She also recognized the challenges faced by patients who live in smaller municipalities in accessing dental care; this is why Dr. Specht has partnered with several clinics throughout Alberta to make dental surgery and sedation more accessible.
On a more personal level, Dr. Specht loves to spend quality time with her beloved husband, Bernhard, her family and friends. She also enjoys cuddling with her dogs, playing the piano, gardening, and cooking. Travelling is also high on her list of favourite things to do. She has travelled to Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua, Cambodia and Ecuador with the dental charity Kindness in Action to provide dental care to people in remote and under-served areas.
