Meet the Dentists
Lisa Spier, DDS, D. ABDSM
Dr. Spier grew up in Brainerd, Minnesota, as the oldest of three siblings. She knew from an early age that she wanted to pursue a career in a health-related profession and began practicing dentistry in 1992.
After graduating from dental school, Dr. Spier began working for the State of Minnesota part time providing care for the developmentally disabled. She also worked part time in private practice in Farmington. In 2000, Dr. Spier took over Dental Care Associates of Buffalo.
Dr. Spier offers a full range of family dental services, including cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic treatments, and is also a sleep dentistry specialist. Inspired by her own sleep apnea journey, Dr. Spier found a sleep appliance to be life-changing and couldn’t wait to offer oral appliance therapy to her patients so they, too, could sleep better and improve their health.
Outside of work, Dr. Spier’s interests range from early morning walks and amateur photography to scrapbooking and painting barn quilts. She is married to Ron, and they have two adult children.
Memberships:
- American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine

Taylor Spier, DMD
Dr. Taylor Spier grew up in Buffalo, Minnesota, and is the younger of two siblings. His mother, also a dentist, introduced him to the dental world early on. Dr. Spier was a class of 2015 Buffalo high school graduate and went on to receive his undergraduate degree in health sciences from the University of Minnesota Crookston in 2019. Dr. Spier then worked as a dental assistant in preparation for his time at A.T. Still University–Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, where he graduated with his DMD in May of 2024.
Throughout his academic career, Dr. Spier excelled in math and science. This passion drew him toward the dental field. He cherishes treating patients, which is a passion he credits to great mentors, including his mother. Dr. Spier has broadened his experience by taking additional courses in Invisalign, botox, and dermal fillers.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Spier and his wife, Mia, share a love for rescuing dogs. So it makes sense they also enjoy nature walks and hikes with their rescue dogs, Indy and Blue. Dr. Spier also enjoys golf, basketball, pickleball, snowmobiling, and fishing. Dr. Spier’s guilty pleasure? Anything with peanut butter. At work, he’s known for creating a soothing environment for patients. This talent will certainly pay off for him as he returns to his hometown community as he begins his dental career at Dental Care Associates of Buffalo.
