Dr. Timothy Hartley
I am a 1983 graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry. I am an active member of several professional organizations including the Washington-Ozaukee County Dental Society (past president; member of peer review board), and the Wisconsin and American Dental Associations.

Innovative and technical changes are constantly shaping the practice of dentistry, and I believe that it is important to keep pace with those changes through continuing education. I regularly attend courses and study groups to insure that you are offered the best dentistry available today.

Since our office's inception, I have always believed that personalized care in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere is the hallmark of a quality family practice. It is with great pride that I say that I consider many of my patients and staff members to be friends. Developing quality relationships with our patients is what sets our practice apart from others. These relationships with both staff and patients have given me a sense of fulfillment throughout my career.

When not at the office, I enjoy golf (despite my high handicap), gardening, reading and wood-working. I have two sons, Jake and Jordan, and live on a small farm with my wife, Kimberly.


Dr. Brian Jakusz
I achieved an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and graduated with honors from Marquette University School of Dentistry. Along with being an active member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association, and Washington-Ozaukee County Dental Society, I am a member of the American Academy of Oral Biologists and certified in conscious sedation for dental procedures.

My patients are my first priority and my goal is to provide the most comprehensive and gentle care possible. I utilize continuing education in my approach to the treatment of my patients and strive to meet each of their needs on an individual basis.

My wife, Cynthia and I reside in the Slinger area with our son Benjamin and daughter Madeline. Hobbies include classic cars, anything sports related, working around the house, and of course, chasing after my children!

Dr. Michael Bartelt
I am a 1976 graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry and a native of Wisconsin.  I served over 24 years in the U.S. Army Dental Corps including 10 years overseas.  While in the service, I completed two years of advanced training in General Dentistry. 

I am a diplomat of the American Board of General Dentistry and a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, as well as a member of the Wisconsin and American Dental Associations.  For many years, a large part of my practice has been endodontic treatment and I have completed many hours of continuing education in this area.  I am excited to join the staff of Hartley Family Dentistry and provide this service to our patients.

I live in Wauwatosa with my wife Son Hyo and our son, Christopher.  When not busy with Christopher’s activities, we enjoy traveling, biking and good restaurants.
