D r. Lisa Phillips founded Hope Pediatric Dentistry after facing a life-alter- ing crisis in 2014. At nine months pregnant with her second child, and caring for a toddler at home, Lisa’s husband Cody—just 31 years old at the time—was suddenly hospital- ized with severe heart failure. For three intense weeks, he fought for his life in the ICU while Lisa balanced visits to the hospital with the everyday demands of motherhood and work. What kept her going during those darkest days? Hope. Their son, Jaren, had faith his dad would recover and that became her anchor—and ultimately her inspiration. Cody miraculously recov- ered just days before Lisa gave birth to their daughter, whom they named Isla Hope. That experience forever shaped Lisa’s purpose and became the founda- tion for the practice she would go on to build—Hope Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Lisa’s approach to dentistry is gentle, warm, and deeply rooted in the belief that hope—like a smile—can change everything. At Hope Pediatric Dentistry, children are treated like family, and
the community? Dr. Lisa loves being part of the community and actively supports school events and local activi- ties throughout Thornton, Westminster, Northglenn, Brighton, and Broomfield. She proudly sponsors school programs and enjoys showing up for events that bring families together. She also serves on the board of Kids in Need of Dentistry (KIND), a nonprofit organization that brings accessible dental care to under- served children. Hope Pediatric Dentistry offers a FREE initial dental visit to children under age three called “Free Before Three.” This gives families an opportunity to get to know Dr. Lisa and for parents to learn early oral hygiene information. What is special about Colorado to you? For Dr. Lisa, Colorado represents a new beginning. It’s where she built her career, grew her family, and witnessed miracles unfold during one of the most challenging seasons of her life. It’s where her husband Cody regained his health, and where their son and daughter were born. Colorado’s sense of community, resil- ience, and natural beauty reflects the same values Hope Pediatric Dentistry is built on: strength, kindness, inspiration, and a deep belief in hope and resilience.
