Dr. Amy Marckese

Founder/Owner


Dr. Amy Marckese is the owner of DentalSpa, a leading general and cosmetic dental office in Indianapolis. Over the last two decades, she has built a practice focusing on customer service and patient experience. Almost three years ago, she was “sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.” She went to multiple doctors who told her, “this is just part of going through menopause.”

She was tired all of the time, cried a lot, was in a horrible mood, had no sex drive and was 100 pounds overweight — on the verge of being diabetic. She was simply no longer the person she used to be inside or out.

Over the last two and half years, Amy has experienced firsthand the transformative benefits of hormone balancing, peptide therapy and exercise. Her journey has led her to looking and most importantly FEELING better than she did 10 years ago!

Her desire to share her experiential wisdom led her to wanting to open DEFY of INDIANA to help others look and feel they way they want to look and feel.
