Dr. Flores is from Portage, Indiana and Dr. VanKalker is from Caledonia, MI. They met during the first year of dental school at Indiana University School of Dentistry. Shortly after graduating, they were married and began their lives together. They have worked both in public health and in private practice, and have a wide range of dental interests. They had the opportunity to serve on a mission trip providing dental care in the villages of Mexico. They find great enjoyment in improving their skills and knowledge through continuing education to stay current on all of the exciting improvements that dentistry has had in recent years.
