Meet Our Louisville, KY, Dentist Office Team

Dr. Alyssa Dykgraaf, DMD

Dr. Alyssa Dykgraaf, DMD

Hi, I am Dr. Alyssa Dykgraaf and I am so happy to be working part time with Dr. Westermann and her team! After working in a corporate practice after graduating in 2010, it is nice to be in a practice that always puts their patients needs above their own. I’ve been told I am very gentle and I always strive to make all your visits as comfortable as possible. Some patients even fall asleep on us! I am also fluent in Spanish, getting a Bachelors in Spanish from Acquinas College in my home state of Michigan.

I currently teach at UL School of Dentistry in the general practice residency program. The Doctors I work with have already graduated dental school but stay on for advanced training. Its so gratifying to be a positive part of their education. I also work with the elderly in nursing homes, taking care of their dental needs.

I am married to Dave Naselsker, an Oral Surgeon here in Louisville and we have two children, Katherine and Henry. We have a horse named Roy and a pony named Arthur. We have a Corgi named Hazel, who thinks she’s human! I like to do 3 Day Eventing…which is kind of like a triathalon on horseback. I also help coach any sports that my kids play! I love traveling and cooking, and am a big Louisville Cardinals fan!! Even though I am dedicated to my patients, I believe in having a great work/life balance! I’m looking forward to getting to know you soon!!

Dr. Dykgraaf speaks Spanish!
