About Cauleen M. Stepp, DDS
Dr. Cauleen Stepp—born and raised in Visalia, CA—graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu with a B.S. in biology. When she realized that dentistry would allow her to participate in mission work and have an active family life, she went on to earn her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Shortly after, Dr. Stepp began practicing at a multi-office private practice that cared for low-income patients. After her time there, she became an associate dentist in a larger practice in southern California. Upon moving to Houston over ten years ago, she worked in public health clinics for over eight years, while still working part-time as an associate in private practice and starting her family. Between family responsibilities and working full-time, Dr. Stepp never thought she would be able to open her own practice, but, in 2017, she decided to finally spread her wings. She purchased what would soon become Stepp Family Dentistry. Dr. Stepp’s passions lie in creating a relaxing and stress-free environment as she works hard to achieve the best version of her patients’ smiles. While not in the office, Dr. Stepp enjoys spending time with her husband, Andrew; her young children; and her Goldendoodle (and soon-to-be Dental Therapy Dog), Lucky Altuve. She enjoys being a follower of Christ, spending time with her beautiful family, traveling, swimming, golf, yoga, pretending to be a foodie with her husband, and even—strangely—driving her kids around to their extracurricular activities. She loves getting to know her patients as if they are family and can’t wait to meet you!
