Dr. Newkirk is the very best at what he does. I came in very nervous after having a dental procedure botched at another office. Dr. Newkirk patiently listened and provided a perfect solution. I appreciate his care and compassion.
I have been in the dental field since 2005. Looking for a job, I saw an ad for a dental assistant. It sounded like something I would enjoy. Obviously, I did since I am still here! The first office I worked with allowed me to learn both dental assisting and the front desk. I feel most at home at the front desk greeting patients as they come in the front door. I have a passion for people and love meeting new faces. Its wonderful! I am able to move back and forth between the front desk and assisting as needed. Im honored to be part of the Newkirk dental team.

Outside of the office, I keep very busy with my family, friends, and dog, Rex. In the evenings, you can usually find me at the ballpark or basketball court watching my two boys play. Theres nothing more important to me than family. I look forward to meeting you and your family at the office!

Ive been in the dental field since 1979! I was introduced to the dental world while visiting a vocational school during my high school years. The day of my visit, they were working with plaster and I was sold as I love to work with my hands.
My goal is to help everyone achieve their dream smile or restore function to a troubled mouth. I desire to make your journey a positive experience. I am the mother of 3 beautiful daughters and grandmother of 2 boys. I love being Mimi to my grandsons! I enjoy shopping and finding bargains for my family. My family means the world to me.
