HUTCHINSON/RENO COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the October Small Business Award to Sage Brush Dental Health, led by Dr. Susan Evans.
Dr. Evans’ journey started right here in Kansas, where she grew up on a farm near Stafford. After graduating from Stafford High School, she went on to earn her degree in Biology from Oklahoma Christian University and her Doctor of Dental Surgery from UMKC School of Dentistry. In 1987, with just one chair and one employee, she opened her dental practice in Hutchinson.
Since then, her business has grown tremendously. She expanded in 1997, and most recently in 2021 when she acquired the practice of Dr. James Gertken at 30th and Lorraine.
Dr. Evans has always been committed to learning and innovation. She was one of the first in the area to offer digital scanning for impressions, same-day crowns and Invisalign. Her current passions are Bioclear— a modern treatment that protects, conserves, rejuvenates, and restores teeth without traditional crowns and Dental Sleep Dentistry. She also offers a unique pediatric program that focuses on healthy jaw and airway development for children.
Her team of nine employees receives ongoing training and development, and together they create a supportive, family-like culture. Sage Brush Dental Health also believes strongly in paying it forward. Dr. Evans has held leadership roles in the Kansas Mission of Mercy, helping provide free dental care to thousands, and she and her team support organizations such as Eagle University which gives high school and college students get a 7-year career head start, United Way, the Cancer Council of Reno County, and Reins of Hope.
With more than 35 years serving Hutchinson, Dr. Evans has built a practice that not only transforms smiles but also impacts lives. Please congratulate Dr. Susan Evans and the team at Sage Brush Dental Health as our October Small Business of the Month!
