Biography
I am Dr. Blake Gutierrez, With over 12 years in the dental field, I have witnessed the full scope of experiences that this dental offers. My journey began at the Mountain Area Health Education Center and continued at The University of New Mexico. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As the former Medical Director and current Residency Program Director for our Dental Medicine Program here at UNM, I?m deeply passionate about teaching and guiding future dentists. I find immense joy in contributing to their growth and success. It?s a privilege to be part of their professional journey and help shape the future of dental care. Outside of my professional life, I love to travel. I have lived in all over the US, from being raised in Utah, attending dental school in California, completing my residency in New Mexico, practicing in North Carolina, and ultimately returning to New Mexico to work with the UNM Dental Medicine program. Returning to New Mexico was very important for me, as this state is where I received my training, and it was important for me to give back to the community that has been so influential in my life and career. My commitment to serving the community and advancing the field of dentistry continues to drive me, and I am excited to contribute to dental communities through my work and dedication.
