Who We Are Behind The Masks
Deborah P. Poole, DDS
Practice Owner
Deborah P. Poole is also referred to as Dr. Deb and was formerly Dr. Ho (maiden name). Originally from Arkansas, she attended the University of Arkansas and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. She then graduated from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry in 2015. After she received her Doctorate in Dental Surgery, Dr. Deb took a leap of faith and moved to Maui, Hawaii. She has been practicing general dentistry since 2015 from regions such as the Westside in Lahaina to Central Maui in both Wailuku and Kahului in which she has established rapport with patients that come from all over the island in both private practice offices and community clinics.
Dr. Poole is a proud member of a worldwide selective group, Seattle Study Club, which is made of less than thirty dentists from Maui. She met her husband on island and they currently have two children. Dr. Deb is excited to continue growing deeper roots in Maui by opening her own dental practice and looking forward to long-lasting relationships with those she serves.
