Open and Affordable
Dental and Braces®

My name is Dr. Apurv Jhawar. I grew up in a small town in India. I moved to the US later on in life and completed my dental education at University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. I practiced dentistry in Wisconsin and Texas before moving back to Colorado. I started working with Open and Affordable Dental because of a shared belief of providing compassionate and comprehensive care that is customized to fit into the lives and budgets of my patients. When I’m not working, I enjoy staying active, hiking, going on long drives, listening to podcasts and traveling. I feel honored and look forward to serving the beautiful city of Colorado Springs.

My name is Dr. Patrick Hoblitzell. I grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. I attended the University of Louisville in Kentucky for my degree in Biomedical Engineering. It was during my time in college that I first became impassioned about the dental field. After suffering a sports injury leaving both of my adult front teeth fractured, I realized the transformative power of dentistry first-hand when they were repaired with crowns by my hometown dentist. I strive to provide that same life changing treatment for my patients whether they require comprehensive dental care or minor aesthetic procedures. I attended dental school at my undergraduate alma mater, the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where I earned my DMD. After dental school, I moved to Missouri where I practiced dentistry briefly before making Colorado my permanent home. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and spending time in the mountains skiing in the winter and hiking during the summer. I love rock climbing, lifting weights, and running in my free time.
