Dr. Elise Helvie Franklin was born and raised in Boise, Idaho.  She has fond memories of skiing as a Mighty Mite at Bogus Basin, showing horses at the Western Idaho Fair, and playing volleyball and tennis as a Bishop Kelly Knight.

Dr. Franklin knew that she wanted to become a dentist since she was a young teen.  Her pursuit of education took her away from Boise for a Bachelors of Arts in Chemistry from Willamette University in Salem, OR (2009) and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington in Seattle, WA (2013).  After graduation from dental school, she went on to complete a general dentistry residency at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, TX (2015).  

Dr. Franklin returned home to join Dr. Devin J. Stampfli in practice at Pennsylvania Dental in 2015.  She enjoys establishing long lasting relationships with her patients by providing them with the highest level of care.  Dr. Franklin is always seeking out continuing education through both local study clubs and regional courses that keep her on the forefront of restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry.

When not in the office, Dr. Franklin can be found spending time with her husband, Adam, and their families and friends.  They enjoy adventures in the Idaho mountains: skiing, mountain biking, and camping.  She is an avid spectator of Adam’s triathlons and also enjoys horseback riding, baking, and a good book.  Her staff would tell you that she has a fondness for oatmeal and M&Ms.
