CARE ESTHETICS MOLINE

As the daughter of an American diplomat to the UN, Dr. Strasser grew up in many Mediterranean countries, but returned to the US for college. She went to college, dental school, and did her residency in Virginia, and started practice in the Washington, DC area. She moved to the Quad Cities in 2002.

Her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Strasser (“the other Dr. Strasser”) is a Professor of geology at Augustana College. They decided to make the Midwest home and raise their family here, since both had roots in the Chicago suburbs and loved the area.

While her postdoctoral training was heavily medicine and surgically oriented, Dr. Strasser developed an interest in TMJ, and sleep/airway dentistry, as well as health and wellness, early in her career in Virginia. She discovered that there was very little help for a problem from which she, herself, suffered, and so she began a long and arduous academic course to acquire the skills that would let her provide the level of care needed by patients. The journey will continue as she grows in practice, and you will always find her taking a course on the weekends or teaching others.

When not with patients, Dr. Strasser enjoys continuing education, photography, skiing, music, art, cooking, and gardening. She and her husband live in a turn-of-the-century Victorian home they have renovated with their daughter. They have many rescue animals, and are members of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Davenport.
