MEET DR. NORMAN
Dr. Norman’s love for dentistry is something you can feel as soon as you walk into Golden Smiles Sloans Lake in Denver. His high-energy personality not only pairs perfectly with his dog Timber, but it’s contagious—there’s a 99% chance you’ll leave the office feeling like it was your best visit to the dentist ever. He knows a healthy smile is connected to an individual’s overall health and it’s why he looks at dentistry from a modern and comprehensive approach.
In addition to his decade of dentistry experience, Dr. Norman also trained special forces medics during his active duty service in the US Army. It’s where he also completed an advanced training program in general dentistry and treated a variety of complex cases contributing to his clinical skill set. With his vast knowledge and experience, Dr. Norman prides himself on giving his patients the information they need so they can make the most informed decisions about their dental care and also have different options to choose from.
When he’s not in the office, you can find Dr. Norman skiing down mountains or climbing up them (he’s summited twenty-one 14ers to date)! He loves photography and you can see his work hanging around the Sloans Lake Denver office. Also, when his dog Timber isn’t busy comforting patients, Dr. Noman spends as much time with him as humanly possible.
DR. NORMAN’S EDUCATION
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2008: Bachelor of Science in Biology (BS)
New York University College of Dentistry, 2012: Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)
Ft. Benning, GA Residency Program, 2013: 1-year AEGD Graduate
MEET OUR THERAPY DOG, TIMBER
Timber is our therapy dog at Golden Smiles at Sloans Lake and he can't wait to meet you! Timber is 3 years old and loves to comfort patients. Whether you are afraid of the dentist or just want to say hi to the friendliest golden retriever ever, Timber is here for you! His favorite activities are napping, playing in the snow, and getting pets from anyone and everyone!
MEET GREG KOSTELAC
Greg has both the extensive knowledge and the passion for dentistry that you’d want to find in an Office Manager. After graduating from UWF with a degree in Chemistry, he decided to put his practical knowledge and people skills to the test in the dental field. You can count on Greg to set clear expectations, put your worries aside, follow up on every dental claim, and create one of the smoothest and most efficient dental experiences you’ve had to date.
When he’s not working, you can usually find Greg spending quality time with his family. Some of their frequent outings together include going to concerts, playing board games, testing out the latest VR, and going on walks in the park when they need a break from all of the gaming.
MEET KARINA
Karina has worked in the dental field since 2016 and has experience in a general practice setting as well as specialty offices. Karina loves working with patients and strives to give each patient a positive and comfortable experience. Outside of the office Karina enjoy gardening, shopping, kayaking, and spending time with her 2 dogs, Chiqui and Regi.

“I went to Golden Smiles and couldn't have nicer things to say. I visited on their opening day (had Dr. Norman not mentioned this I wouldn't have had any idea). My general check-up didn't feel rushed at all and Dr. Norman explained everything that they were doing & why they were doing it so that I could easily understand. Scheduling the appointment was extremely easy as well. Dr. Norman and his team were all fantastic and it felt like they'd been working together for years. I already have my 6 month check up scheduled with them and can't wait to see Timber (therapy dog) again.”
