Our Staff
Our loyal and experienced team has been together for some time. Some have been with us for over 30 years. It is very comforting for our patients to see familiar faces when visiting the office. We feel that this is very important to maintain our standard of care. Kathy, Sam and Christina are the friendly faces you will see upon entering the office. Their cheerful, diligent work keeps our appointment schedule hassle-free and efficient. They will help you to not only maximize your dental insurance benefits, but will also work with you to set up an affordable plan to pay for the dental care you deserve.
Our registered dental hygienists Cathy, Lisa, Lauren and Bridget will not only make sure you receive a gentle, thorough, and professional cleaning but will take all the time necessary to instruct you on maintaining healthy gums and clean white teeth. Because two hygienists are scheduled each day, two family members can be seen at the same time, avoiding excessive waiting.
