Dr. Eric T. Veal
A Louisville native, Dr. Veal graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1995. After his doctorate, Dr. Veal spent a year in Burlington, Vermont where he received advanced dental training in a General Practice Residency Program. It is also where he met his wife, Denise. They have been married for 25 years and have four children together (Nicolas, Noelle, Nathaniel and Mebrate). Dr. Veal has practiced dentistry in Louisville for the last 24 years and still plans to practice for another 15 to 20 years, God-willing.
He loves spending time with his wife and kids and enjoys studying his Bible. Ask him what his favorite scripture is when you visit, and he will gladly tell you what it is and why. His passion is to do missionary dentistry locally and overseas. He loves kids, so make sure, if you have children, to schedule an appointment for them in the office. Lastly, and most importantly, Dr. Veal wants every patient to know that they will be valued and cared for.

Dr. Brooklyn Hinkson, DMD
Dr. Hinkson discovered her passion for dentistry after working for her orthodontist during high school. She was inspired by his joy, integrity, and dedication - qualities she now strives to emulate.
Raised in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Dr. Hinkson attended the Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg before earning her bachelor's degree in chemistry and biology from the University of the Cumberlands. While there, she worked as a teaching assistant, played on the JV volleyball team, and conducted research on the synthesis of lidocaine.
Dr. Hinkson then earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. During dental school, she sought opportunities to serve the needy through Remote Area Medical and an outreach scholarship program. She also received her class's professionalism award and graduated with honors.
Now settled in Jeffersontown with her husband Ethan and their newborn son Conner, Dr. Hinkson enjoys spending time with family, walking around her neighborhood, and attending Ninth and O Baptist Church. She looks forward to welcoming patients and helping them feel at home at IFCD.
