Growing up in New Jersey, Dr. Obrochta knew from a young age she wanted to be a dentist. She went on to earn her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine. Following graduation from dental school, she completed a one-year residency program at Coler Goldwater Specialty Hospital in New York City.

After treating children for many years through the Department of Health in Pensacola, she decided Gulf Breeze would be the perfect place to grow a family, a dental practice, and serve an amazing community.

artistic passion

"I’ve always been a people person, but my artistic passion comes from playing the violin while growing up. Spending my life helping people through hands-on artistry aligns perfectly with my love for people and creativity. Now I have the amazing privilege of shaping beautifully healthy smiles every day."

personalized attention

“I absolutely love what I do. We believe people deserve a personalized approach to dental care that listens, seeks to understand, and always puts our patients first. It’s the way I’d treat my own family.”

Dr. Brennan has spent the last decade working in both public health and private practice as well as serving as a faculty member for both the University of Florida College of Dentistry and Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health.

She and her husband Cameron love spending time with their two young daughters enjoy the beaches and the beauty of Florida’s Emerald Coast.
