Conservative Care – Dr. Hoekstra enjoys forming relationships with her patients that are built on trust. That’s why she only recommends treatment that is absolutely necessary for good oral health.
GET TO KNOW DR. HOEKSTRA
Dr. Hoekstra lives at home with her husband of 14 years, Mike, son of Larry and Gloria Hoekstra of Orange City, IA; their four children: Annaliese (12), Carver (10), Christian (8), and Mikayla (3); and their two fur-babies: Nikita and Suki. In her free time, she enjoys working with her hands: gardening and yard work, painting and other art, and various “projects” around the house.
She coaches girls’ youth volleyball, helps organize the Stars Volleyball Club, and is currently the director of the Sioux City Future Stars Volleyball Committee, a non-profit organization that serves to eliminate barriers and provide all children with equal opportunities in sports. Recently, she began the process of implementing a boys’ volleyball program in Sioux City. She continues to play volleyball year-round in various leagues, including both outdoor sand and indoor co-ed leagues.
Dr Hoekstra and her family have been active members of Sunnybrook Community Church since moving back to the area after she graduated dental school. As a family, they enjoy playing outside; watching all of their sports, dance, and school activities; going to the zoo; helping Mom and Dad with the garden/ yardwork and other projects; playing cards and board games; and spending time with their friends and extended family.
