Julie has been at the front desk of Dr. Shtarkman's dental office since the dental office began in 2006 but has a total of 17 years experience in the dental field. Prior to working in dentistry, Julie had experience in sales and customer service working for such companies as the United States Steel Corporation and Fieldcrest Towels and Linens. In her words, the best part about working in the dental field is building relationships with the patients, many of whom have become friends, and knowing that no two days will be the same.
