ODA Member: Brandon Loeser

ODA MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Brandon Loeser, DDS

By: Makenzie Dean, ODA Programs & Operations Manager

The Oklahoma Mission of Mercy is an event that comes together through the cooperation of many. Each year, the ODA President designates a cochair to serve with him and facilitate the planning for OkMOM. The cochair assists in event planning and helps engage the local community in preparation for OkMOM. The co-chair for the upcoming OkMOM is Dr. Brandon Loeser a general dentist in private practice at Shawnee Dental in Shawnee, OK.

Dr. Loeser was raised outside of Byron, Oklahoma, on a farm where his family raised cattle and grew alfalfa hay. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2009, and later graduated from the OU College of Dentistry in 2015. While in dental school, he formed a strong mentorship with Drs. Scot and Nan Shadid, and he now practices alongside them and Dr. Jennifer Koonce in Shawnee. In retrospect, Dr. Loeser feels that both Drs. Shadid had an enormous impact on him professionally, and is grateful for their guidance in the early years of his career and to this day. He remembers that Drs. Scot and Nan Shadid helped him get off to a great start during his first year of dental school, and he has had a blast with dentistry ever since! Dr. Loeser has been married to his beautiful wife, Zoe, for nine years, and in April 2021, they were blessed with their son, Scott Miles Loeser. Together, Dr. Loeser and Zoe enjoy working with the Spero Project, a nonprofit that helps refugees and has historically helped other marginalized communities in Oklahoma City. Through their work with the Spero Project over the last decade, they have built deep, meaningful relationships with many new friends from all walks of life. The Loesers have met with one household, once a month for the past ten years, and they have grown to feel more like family than friends. He reflects that introducing them to their son was such a wonderful memory, and he will always remember it as a happy moment for their family!
