Dr. Nathan Bauer

I grew up here in the Springfield area with my parents and my younger sister and two younger brothers. I graduated form Springfield Catholic High School in 1997 and attended Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. In 2005, I graduated from the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry, and the next year, completed a residency in Advanced General Dentistry. I was fortunate to return to Springfield and work for Dr. Charles Vogel. He has been a great mentor and friend.

I love to fish and canoe, and I spend most of the summer weekends at the lake. I hope to be able to coach football after work in the near future, as this has always been a passion of mine. In the fall of 2010, I married Dr. Sara Young, who is also a practicing dentist in Springfield.

Jennifer I grew up in Olathe, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. I graduated a Dental Assisting Program in 1994. I decided to move to Springfield in 2006 and was lucky enough to have found Dr. Bauer. I have made some wonderful friends here in Springfield but most of all was blessed to have met my future husband. We will be married in June of 2010. We are looking forward to our future here in the Ozarks. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with the best dental team and to help our patients achieve their best smile.	Teri I was born here in Springfield, Missouri. After graduating high school I went to MSSC for dental assisting then continued my education and went through the dental hygiene program. I moved all over the country working and raising a family but wanted to come back home. I have been working with Dr. Vogel since 1999, and was thrilled when Dr Bauer came on board and wanted me to continue working for him. I have three wonderful sons, Jay, Tyler and Brady. I also have an amazing man in my life, Michael, who has two sons, Chad and Chris. I am very blessed with family and friends and I truly count my patients as my friends.	Robin While serving time in the Navy for 7 years I met my wonderful husband who was also in the Navy. We were married in San Diego and a year later had our son Hunter. When we got out of the Navy we decided to move to Missouri where I have a lot of family and friends. We love to go canoeing and camping in the summer andhosting BBQ's for family and friends. We are keeping very busy with all the sports our son plays. Besides loving my family and close friends, I really love coming back to work and seeing our patients that I also consider friends. I love to make people feel great about their smile.	Tina I grew up in Okalahoma and moved to Ozark, Missouri where I graduated high school in 1997. I then went to Ozarks Technical Community college Dental Assisting program, graduating in 1999. I have since been working as a dental assistant. I have had the pleasure of working with wonderful Doctors and awesome patients here in this office since 2005. I have a great husband and two beautiful little girls. We enjoy spending time with family and friends camping and swimming with the grandparents. It is my pleasure to help my patients achieve the healthy beautiful smile they deserve.	Cristen Not exactly wanting to follow into my father's footsteps, I chose a path in pharmacy. I worked as a pharmacy technician for many years giving me the experience and leadership skills to want something more. Wanting someone to watch over the family business, I was asked by my dad, Dr. Charles Vogel, to become the office administrator for his dental practice in 2007. After he sold his practice in 2010 to Dr Nathan Bauer, I was asked to stay on. Being a mother is also one of the greatest joys of my life. We enjoy spending time at the lake, watching movies and hosting back yard get together with friends and family.
