Kelsey is our Southside Office Manager. If there are two things I am super passionate about, it is making people laugh and rescuing animals. Nothing makes my day more enjoyable than talking to a patient that is nervous and easing their dental anxiety or finding a stray animal in need of some TLC!

Tooth pain is nothing to joke about and I want to do everything I can to make sure our patients are scheduled promptly and out of pain as quickly as possible.
