After graduating, Dr. Standridge worked in public health in Missouri and Kansas.

In the beginning of 2017 Dr. Standridge merged the two offices into one, newly remodeled location in Yates Center.
Dr. Standridge has been very committed to excellence and continuing education. He went on to get his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a credential less than 5% of dentists go on to earn. Dr. Standridge was also the youngest person in history of the state of Kansas to earn this award. Dr. Standridge has gone on to learn more advanced services such as cosmetics, orthodontics, and dental implants; services that were not readily available in the area. Dr. Standridge has also been featured on multiple dental podcasts and interviews, and has started coaching and lecturing to other dentists.
Dr. Standridge is joined by his wonderful wife Sara Joy and their daughter Hazel. In his down time, Dr. Standridge loves spending time with his girls in nature, as well as gardening and traveling.
