Matthew Thacker is a visionary health care leader who is transforming dental care in Southern Nevada through innovative, community-focused initiatives. As the director of Roseman Dental Clinics, he manages the care of more than 7,500 patients while leading impactful programs that address health care barriers.

Thacker is involved in several organizations including the Adopt a Vet Dental Program, a cause close to his heart. “After earning my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from UNLV, my service as a Fleet Marine Force Dental Officer in the U.S. Navy gave me extensive real-world experience and reaffirmed my passion for serving those who serve,” Thacker said.
