Hilltop Dental of Auburn Celebrates Ribbon Cutting for New Expanded Facility

Hilltop Dental of Auburn marked its new office with a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 29, highlighting a practice that has more than doubled in size and patient volume since it changed hands six years ago.

Dr. Jesse Murphy and Dr. Will Gudenrath, along with Dr. Erich Trumm, purchased the practice in June 2019. What started as a two-doctor, four-operatory office treating 2,500 patients its first year has grown into a four-doctor, ten-operatory practice that treated 5,100 patients in 2025.

“Before we only had four patient operatories. Now we have 10,” Office Manager Stephanie Niederkline said. “So it’s just a matter of being able to expand all of the services that we had before into helping more people.”
