Outside of his professional endeavors, Dr. Faltys developed a passion for rock climbing during his undergraduate years at the University of Arkansas. He has been an avid climber ever since and began to show interest in the Reno area after visiting the region several times on climbing trips. Dr. Faltys was thrilled when he found Bluetree Dental, a patient-centered dental group he immediately felt at home with that also happened to be in one of his favorite parts of the country.
