Peggi: Front Office Peggi

Peggi is our office concierge. She has a natural desire and ability to make your experience in our office both positive and satisfying. From sincerely welcoming you to our office to providing convenient payment options and everything in between, she is at your service at all times.

Cheryl: Registered Dental Hygienist Cheryl

One word to describe Cheryl, our full time hygienist, is gentle. Her ability to clean teeth effectively and comfortably is why she has been with us for over 18 years. Just as important are her easy going personality and excellent communication skills. Our patients love her.

Linda: Certified Dental Assistant Linda

Linda, also known as my second set of hands, quit our office at the end of her first day on the job! She had just come back to work after raising three children. Materials and techniques had changed a lot and it was a tough day for her. Fortunately, I convinced her to give it another try. That day was over 20 years ago and was one of the most fortunate days of my professional life.

Chris: Jack of All Trades Chris

Chris is our go to person to keep the office running smoothly. With over 20 years of dental office experience in both the front and back office, she assists Peggi, Cheryl, and Linda in efficiently getting the job done for our patients and does so in a very pleasant way.
