Dr. Sean Goolsby

Family and Children's Dentist

I was born in Kotzebue, Alaska, the son of a bush pilot/carpenter/dog musher. From my earliest years, I remember thinking that traveling by bush plane or dog sled was completely normal; it was how everybody got around, wasn't it? Growing up, I had a very extensive outdoor life, frequently hiking, camping, mountain climbing, and exploring with my family.

I was the second-born of ten kids, so the joys and chaos of living in a large family are very familiar to me. I married my true love, Becky, in April of 2003 and then began what I didn't know at the time would be a decade of intensive university attendance and professional development, eventually leading me to a career in dentistry.

I have two beautiful children, Simon and Hannah. They bring so much joy into my life! I would say that my family is my top priority.

I love music, movies, and food (side note: Minnesota brought poutine into my life - and for that, I will be eternally grateful). I love to laugh. You'll find that I have an unusual sense of humor. I’m big into board games, Star Wars, and all things geeky. I love being so far out in the wild that you would have no hope for rescue if you needed it. I LOVE the ocean!

I believe one of the highest virtues anyone can aspire to is compassion. It gives me great honor and a sense of humility to experience and witness the process of healing as my patients, and I set goals and work to achieve them.

Receiving any type of medical or dental treatment is challenging - at times even intimidating - and I understand that. I promise to always treat you with compassion and with an open ear to hear what your concerns or personal challenges are. I am committed to doing anything within my power to make sure you have the best possible experience while you are here.

Dr. Adam Hildebrandt

I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry with Distinction. In May of 2022, I got married to the love of my life, Ciara. We enjoy attending MNUFC soccer games, agate hunting, and spending time/being active with our rescue dog Lucy (an 8-year-old Aussie mix). I also enjoy recording and performing original music under the names Bark Point and Adam Brandt (you can listen to my original music on any streaming platform). I was born in Arizona but have called North St. Paul MN home since 2001. I played NCAA Division 2 baseball at Concordia University St. Paul for four years. I graduated summa cum laude from CSP majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. Lastly, I am currently serving in the Minnesota Army National Guard in Charlie Med 134th BSB. 

"You can expect to be treated and welcomed like family. I will use the latest technology and customize treatment to meet you where you are and to be there for you to achieve your oral health needs and goals.“

Kathy

Hygienist

Kathy has three great loves in her life: music, teeth, and especially tacos. She became a dental hygienist on a dare and hasn't looked back since because, as it turns out, she loves it! Kathy enjoys meeting and helping people keep a healthy mouth, mostly because without a healthy mouth, you can't enjoy tacos. Because of this passion of hers, she has become the founder of the Healthy Teeth for Increased Taco Enjoyment Foundation (HTITEF). Her organization is geared to all things taco-related and is a non-profit.

Kayla

Dental Hygienist

Kayla is a long-time local gal, having spent all her formative years in the Chisago schools. She received her degree in Dental Hygiene at Lake Superior College in Duluth, and has been in the industry since 2018. She’s very family-oriented, being neighbors with aunts, uncles and parents. In fact, she works with her mother on a side-gig delivering wreaths and flowers to graves at Ft Snelling, which we all think is very cool. Her personal pursuits include cooking/baking, gardening, movies and hanging out with her husband Jake and their family (but NO board games).

Paula

Dental Assistant

Holy Smokes!! What to say about Paula? We’re not sure if she’s more incredible as an assistant or as a Master Chef! Suffice it to say, she’s challenging Dr Goolsby’s aspirations to eat healthy and get in shape.

The temptation is just too real. She has accrued over 30 years of experience in the dental field, having graduated from Century College as a dental assistant. Her personal interests include of course cooking/baking, but also motorcycle riding, cycling and spending time out at their cabin. She is married and has 2 adult children, and is “impatiently waiting for grandchildren.”

Kyla

Patient Care Coordinator

Kyla has been in the dental industry since 2016. She was initially on track to a degree in Criminal Justice, but whilst learning to fight crimes against humanity she discovered a love of fighting crimes against oral health and switched to dentistry. She is the very proud mother of two sons and enjoys an assortment of outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, camping and kayaking.
