Beyond serving patients, Dr. Cody enjoys being outdoors, spending quality time with friends and family, trying new things, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers!

Justin Paz, DDS

Dr. Paz grew up in Rochester, MN with a career in dentistry already on his mind.  He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Biochemistry and proceeded to stay in Minnesota for his dental training.  After completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in the gopher state, he was commissioned into the United States Navy as a General Dentist.  After 5 years of active duty, completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency, and serving at a submarine base in Georgia, he returned to the midwest to be closer to family.

Dr. Paz is married with two young children.  When he is not developing healthy smiles, he enjoys biking and running with the family.  Despite living in Madison, he is a passionate Minnesota Gopher fan and enjoys attending football, basketball, and hockey events. He finds enjoyment from being at the lake in the summer, doing water sports, or just relaxing with a beer by the water.

Dr. Paz brings a positive attitude and friendly face to the office each day.  Dedicated to providing a comfortable patient experience, he listens to your (his patients') concerns and follows through by delivering high-quality, compassionate dental care.

Dr. Shipley retired in March 2021, after over 5 decades of serving his beloved community. He thanks all past and present patients for placing trust in him over the past years, and ensures that the team will carry on the tradition of comfortable, compassionate, and convenient care.
