She graduated with a biology degree from the University of Nebraska Omaha where she ultimately found her passion for dentistry.

She continually tries to develop her skills by staying up to date on dental research and attending meetings at the Pankey Institute which trains dentists in complex and comprehensive care. She loves getting to know her patients, not just their smiles, and to help achieve results of which they can be proud.

When Dr. Dergan isn't at the office, she is most likely at the gym, taking care of her many plants, or playing with her two cats. She loves to spend time with her wonderful husband, Andrew, who is completing his family medicine residency in Sioux City, IA.
