Dr. Carla Kucirek

Dr. Kucirek joined Southwest Iowa Dental Associates after graduating from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2014.  Originally from Idaho, she graduated from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 2005 with a Spanish Education degree.  She then spent two years teaching English with the Peace Corps.  She was awarded a loan repayment grant through the Fulfilling Iowa's Need for Dentists (FIND) project, which recruits dentists to practice in under-served areas of Iowa.  She chose dentistry to help fulfill her passion for serving for others.  She and her husband Adam love outdoor activities and supporting local artists and musicians. They can often be found pulling their two daughters in a trailer behind their bicycles on the Wabash Trace.

Dr. Amanda Schneider

Dr. Schneider has rejoined our team after a four year stent in New Mexico while her husband, an internal medicine physician at Shenandoah Medical Center, finished his residency. She graduated from Creighton University with a B.S. in Biology in 2009 and continued at the School of Dentistry until graduation in 2013.  Dr. Schneider brings a vast array of knowledge from her experiences in New Mexico and truly enjoys dentistry and helping patients understand how their teeth relate to their overall health. She and her husband are both from Colorado and enjoy craft beer, outdoor activities, and Krav Maga self-defense. They and their little boy are so excited to be back in Shenandoah where the green grass grows!
