My dental history began in Findlay, Ohio, where I grew up interacting with the profession first-hand in the form of my father; a practicing dentist. After graduating from Ohio University, I went on to earn my dental degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. While at Ohio State, I served as the Team Dentist for all athletic teams.
I have served my community in many ways. I have served as president of the W.D. Miller Dental Society of Knox and Licking Counties and currently serve as treasurer. I am a member of the Mount Vernon Rotary Club. My sense of service has led me to travel to Haiti on five separate mission trips to provide dental care for the underprivileged following the devastating earthquake in 2010. I was honored to be awarded a Certificate for International Service by the American Dental Associations Committee on International Programs and Development.
Dr. Decker graduated from West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 1991 with the Clinical Excellence Award. She practiced in New York State and Pennsylvania before moving to Ohio in 2014. Her 26 years of experience have given her superior clinical skills in all areas of general dentistry. Her favorite procedures are the complicated ones. I really enjoy solving difficult problems where I need to be innovative.
Dr. Decker has 5 children and runs a mini farm to instill hard working values in her teenagers. She likes gardening, music, crafts and volunteers in church sewing projects for Christian Aid Ministries. She is committed to making her patients as comfortable as possible in the dental setting and caring for each patient as a true friend.
Dr. Morgan A. Straits, is a local dentist who was born and raised right here in central Ohio. She has always been passionate about helping others and giving back to her community. Raised in Brinkhaven, OH, Straits found herself intrigued with the industry at an early age while growing up watching her mother work as a dental assistant. She quickly became interested in the prospect of helping others around her. She has always wanted to come back home and serve her community and is excited to now offer this local and personalized service. In a continuing acknowledgment to her roots, Dr. Straits attended The Ohio State University for both her undergraduate (Bachelor of Science) and graduate dental degree (Doctor of Dental Surgery).
