In 1980, Dr. Stephen Pauly obtained his dental degree from the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Because he loved children so much, he decided to specialize in children's dentistry and enrolled in the UCLA School of Dentistry's post-doctoral program finishing in 1982. Immediately after graduation he moved to Fort Collins and began his pediatric dental practice sharing office space with orthodontist Dr. Clifton Davison (who retired in 2018).  Dr. Pauly is married to Rose who is a registered nurse working for UC Health.  He has three sons.  Brent and his wife Erica live in Gilbert, AZ and have one boy and two girls. Chris and Bekah live in Syracuse, UT and have two sons.  Ryan and Emily live in Placentia, CA and also have two boys.  Dr. Pauly loves road cycling, boating on Horsetooth Reservoir, and Univ. of Texas Longhorns athletics.  He also owns and operates Steve's Texas Sauces making salsa and BBQ sauce.
