Our Doctors

Andrew Nardecchia, DDS

It’s no coincidence that Mt. Sopris is perfectly framed by the windows at Carbondale Family Dental.   Dr. Nardecchia’s love of the mountains is what first brought him to Colorado in 1996, brought him back to this beautiful valley with his family in 2011, and was a deciding factor in settling in at Carbondale Family Dental. 

After graduating from University of Colorado Dental School in 2004, Dr. Nardecchia completed his training in a general practice residency program at Denver Health Medical Center. He then spent time working at a children's dental clinic in Denver and in Portland, Oregon at Gentech Dentist, a cutting-edge urban dental practice.

Dr. Nardecchia returned to Colorado from Oregon in 2011 with his wife, Katy, a native of the Roaring Fork Valley, and their two young children, Nick and Ella.  He joined Carbondale Family Dental and worked alongside Dr. Brad Nicholson, who founded the practice in 1978, until Dr. Nicholson’s retirement in 2013.  

Dr. Nardecchia has a passion for sustainability, whether that applies to the environment, his lifestyle, or his dental practice. He enjoys the variety and challenge that each patient brings to the practice – each with their unique needs and circumstances.  He believes in building lasting relationships with every patient.  Living in a small community like Carbondale, Dr. Nardecchia enjoys seeing his patients on the ski slopes, out to dinner, or when he’s dropping his kids off at school.

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Nardecchia can be found skiing, biking, or climbing in the surrounding mountains or cruising around town with his family.

Rebekah Reed, DMD

A sixth generation Colorado native, Dr. Reed began her dental career as a dental assistant in high school. After graduating she moved to Glenwood Springs to attend Colorado Mountain College (Spring Valley), where she met her husband, Robin. During that time, she continued to work as a dental assistant and quickly fell in love with the Roaring Fork Valley community and the mountains around it.
 

In 2019 she completed her Doctorate in Dental Medicine at the University of New England College of Dental Medicine in Portland, Maine. During this time in Maine, Dr. Reed had extensive exposure to public health and interprofessional collaboration. These skills enable her to better educate her patients about the importance of oral care as a key component to overall health. She values the importance of creating open communication with other medical providers in order to offer the best healthcare for her patients.
 
Prior to permanently settling back in Colorado, Dr. Reed completed a Postdoctoral General Practice Residency at the VA hospital in Seattle, WA. This opportunity allowed her to receive comprehensive training in hospital-based dentistry which complements her approach to patient centered care.
 
Dr. Reed places a high emphasis on dental excellence and ongoing dental education. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the Colorado Dental Association and The Academy of General Dentistry.
 
Dr. Reed returned to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2020 with her husband and daughter, Isla. In 2022, they welcomed their son Liam into the family.  She is excited to be a part of the team at Carbondale Family Dental. Aside from dentistry, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends in the outdoors. She personally enjoys snowboarding, rock climbing, rafting, and backpacking.
