Expertise Meets Empathy
Get To Know Dr. Boecker-Riviere
Meet Dr. Michelle Boecker-Riviere, a dental expert whose passion and skills have earned her the coveted Texas Top 10% Dentist Award in 2022 and 2023, along with the PDA Doctor Excellence Award in 2019.
Dr. Boecker-Riviere's dental journey started in her father's dental office at a young age, where she would give "check-ups" and tinker with fake teeth. As she became older, she started working in the office after school as an assistant and front desk receptionist.
Dr. Boecker-Riviere gained exposure to many aspects of dentistry in those early years and she particularly enjoyed the blend of science, precision, and personal connection in the dental field.
Dr. Boecker-Riviere graduated Cum Laude from Clements High School in Sugar Land, Texas. She then attended Texas A&M University, where she graduated top of her class with Magna Cum Laude honors, majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology. During her time at Texas A&M, she was involved in medical mission work and visited Costa Rica to help serve those in need.
Her dental destiny awaited her at the University of Texas Dental School in Houston, where she met her future partner-in-smiles, Dr. Hoffman. Here, Dr. Boecker-Riviere fine-tuned her skills and solidified her commitment to providing top-notch dental care.
She was awarded the ASDA Student Excellence Award while in school. She published an article in the National American Student Dental Association magazine which evaluated the link between certain diets and oral health.
She was also one of only two students chosen for a cosmetic dentistry apprenticeship during her final year of dental school. Dr. Boecker-Riviere holds the belief that continuous learning should be a lifelong endeavor. She is a member of the nationally renowned Spear Study Club and Seattle Study Club, where she enjoys attending evening meetings to sharpen her skill set.
She is also a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Greater Houston Dental Society, and International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. She has extensive training in airway/sleep apnea and cosmetic dentistry.
When Dr. Boecker-Riviere isn't busy crafting beautiful new smiles, she enjoys the local culinary and musical scene of her hometown Houston. As time permits, she also enjoys exploring the outdoors through hiking, camping, fishing, and visiting the next National Park.

Precision and Care Combined
Get To Know Dr. Hoffman
Dr. Courtney Hoffman's remarkable path to becoming a leading dentist is truly extraordinary. Originating from her small hometown in La Grange, Texas, she exhibited her intellectual prowess early on, often engrossed in science literature and geeking out over any experiment she could try. Outside of school, Dr. Hoffman was actively engaged in volunteer work, loved participating in sports, and enjoyed contributing to her grandparents' farm.
After graduating Salutatorian from high school, Dr. Hoffman embarked on her academic journey at Texas A&M University, initially with aspirations of developing food for astronauts. However, fate had different plans for her. A pivotal moment in Dr. Hoffman’s life occurred during a routine wisdom teeth procedure, which left Courtney awe-inspired by the dentist's skill and convinced her that dentistry was her true calling.
While at A&M, Dr. Hoffman was highly involved in multiple organizations. Her favorite events included visiting schools to help spread dental education as well as her dental mission trip to Honduras with Global Dental Brigades. Demonstrating unwavering determination, Dr. Hoffman graduated with the highest distinction, Summa Cum Laude honors, from Texas A&M, holding a degree in Nutritional Sciences and a minor in Business.
Her educational voyage then led her to The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston, where she enjoyed diving deep into her dental journey. Due to Dr. Hoffman's professionalism, expertise, and ethical standards while in dental school, she received a nomination from faculty members and was subsequently inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honors Society and is currently still a member.
Dr. Hoffman’s passion and dedication to her patients culminated in her receiving the prestigious Texas Top 10% Dentist Award, a testament to her extraordinary odyssey. She has a strong commitment to personalized care and takes the time to acquaint herself with her patients. Becoming a patient of Dr. Hoffman’s, well, it is like becoming family.
Beyond her impressive professional accomplishments, Dr. Hoffman treasures quality family time with her husband, Doug, and daughter, Hannah. They share a deep appreciation for the outdoors, sports, and travel, making the most of every precious moment together. While she once explored the world through scuba diving and even ventured into cage diving with sharks, nowadays, you're more likely to find her tending to her flowers and plants and experimenting with culinary delights.
