Meet Dr. Francisco Nieves
Dr. Francisco Nieves is a board-certified endodontist who grew up in Fort Worth and always dreamed of opening his own practice in the city he calls home.
After attending North Crowley High School and then Saint Bonaventure University for undergrad, Dr. Nieves focused his love of helping patients into earning his DDS from the UT School of Dentistry in Houston. There, he discovered his love of learning about the root canal system, so he continued to follow his passion for endodontics with specialty training at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. In fact, Dr. Nieves and Dr. Fitzhugh met while studying at Rutgers!
Dr. Nieves also practices at Granbury Endodontics in Granbury, TX, where he is passionate about helping patients from Granbury and the surrounding towns. Outside of endodontics, he loves spending time with his wife and two children, traveling with friends and family and enjoying the best food, coffee and craft beer Fort Worth has to offer!
Meet Dr. Alex Fitzhugh
Dr. Alex Fitzhugh is a board-certified endodontist whose passion for patient satisfaction can be seen in every appointment.
Originally from Arkansas, Dr. Alex Fitzhugh attended the University of Arkansas for undergrad, then received his DDS degree from the University of Tennessee. It was there that Dr. Fitzhugh also realized his love for helping patients with issues related to the root canal, so he continued his specialty training in endodontics at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where he met Dr. Nieves.
Dr. Fitzhugh also practices at Burleson Endodontics, where he has proudly served the community for several years with his patient-first philosophy. He’s a true believer in minimally-invasive endodontics, which he and Dr. Nieves consider the best way of practicing endodontic care. In his free time, Dr. Fitzhugh loves spending time with his wife and three children, staying active through his love of sports and also taking the time to relax occasionally at the lake.
Our process for tooth pain relief
