Being a dentist allows me the freedom to be my own boss and to see and help so many different people and personalities. I am honored to have a personal relationship with my patients and take pride in the fact that they love coming to our office. It is a testament to my great staff that so many of our new patients are a result of referrals from their friends and families. There is no higher compliment than a referral from an existing patient, and I never tire of hearing That was my best dental experience ever!
I strongly believe that, in order to serve my patients best, I must keep my knowledge and abilities up to date by learning the latest technological and treatment options. It is only by staying current with leading-edge skills that I am able to continually provide my patients with the widest range of proven options to meet their oral healthcare needs. I am a member of the Lone Star Chapter of the Seattle Study Club, which meets monthly for continuing dental education with professional lectures. Once a month, on a Friday, a group of us meet to do All-on-4 implant-retained denture cases, too.
I was raised here in Round Rock and attended the University of Texas. Following four years of dental school at the Health Science Center at San Antonio in 1995, I returned to my hometown. I live with my husband Mark, and we have two sons, Ryan and Andrew.
Mark teaches special needs children in RRISD. Our oldest son, Ryan, is studying business finance at Texas Tech. Andrew is still at home and is a senior at Cedar Ridge High School. Right now, my life revolves around family and our endless activities. When I have the time, I like to run, swim, read, and watch Andrew play lacrosse with his high school team.
I attend church at The Fellowship Church Round Rock and enjoy going on mission trips every year to Honduras to provide dental treatment to children. I am also a board member for the Agape Pregnancy Resource Center in Round Rock.
When Im not at work, youll find me spending most of my time with my family, two adult sons, and seven grandchildren. When there is some quiet time, I enjoy spending time with my rescue dog, Ruger, andreading.
I have a daughter with whom I love spending time. We love the outdoors, taking walks, and traveling to see new places. I also have a rescue Boxer named Sophie that we adore. She keeps us laughing every day!
Joining Dr. Gaddy and her team has been a pleasure. This is a true family practice where we see the whole family, sometimes including the grandparents! It makes work very interesting when I see patients ranging in age from two to 101. I like being able to help our patients achieve and maintain beautiful, healthy smiles that will last a lifetime. I enjoy working in a comfortable setting with patients and understand that their needs come first. As a dental hygienist, I help Dr. Gaddy in the diagnosis and treatment-planning phases of our patients care while they are here for their teeth cleanings. I also provide periodontal treatment, apply fluoride and sealants, take digital X-rays, and offer home-care instructions.
At home, I keep very busy with my family. I have two boys, Devon and Jackson, and adaughter, Paige. We stay pretty active with outdoor activities like fishing. We also love to travel and experience new things!
It is such a great feeling to know that Im helping people live healthier, happier lives every day I come to work. Ive worked in the dental field for almost 20 years and joined Dr. Gaddys team in 2019. Its always been my goal to make sure our patients are comfortable before and after their dental treatment, and to make their dental experience as seamless as possible. This is a great office, with a doctor and a team who are all very close-knit. We share the mission to give our patients the best care and have a great time doing it!
My husband and I met almost 20 years ago and have moved all around the great state of Texas, finally settling in Pflugerville. We have two daughters, Tammie and Taylor. As a family, we enjoy the outdoors, whether were camping or at the lake.
Forest Creek Family Dental, PA opened in 2002 and most of our original team members are still with us, though our staff has increased as our practice has grown. Dr. Gaddy grew up in the town and is proud to run a locally owned dental office.
As a patient-oriented practice, we put the needs of each patient at the forefront of all we do, from providing an inviting reception area and always running on time, to free WiFi, televisions in each room, and blankets and pillows for comfort during a visit.
