My goal is to provide an atmosphere where patients feel respected and heard with patience and understanding of their needs and desires. Gaining patientstrust is vital forhelping them attain their oral health goals. In the past 30 years, I have grown to fully appreciate the dynamics of interpersonal relationships with both my staff and our patients. This is not just a job to me ...it is my passion.
In the years since graduating from dental school, I have stayed current with technology and advances in treatment options. Continuing education is one of the most important ways for me to ensure that my patientsreceive the highest quality of dental care and best possible results. Most recently, I have completed advanced training in the fields of implant restoration, Invisalign, and dentures.
I grew up on a Centennial Farm with fivebrothers in Parma, right outsidethe city of Jackson where I live now. I am very proud of my two sons:one graduated from Central Michigan University and the other is currently attending Michigan State University. My family has always come first.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I graduated from Kellogg Community College in 1993 and have been practicing dental hygiene in the Jackson area ever since. Here at Dr. Chapels office, I evaluate my patientsoral health, provide cleanings that meet their needs, and offer education on oral health and products that might work best for them. I enjoy the relationships I have developed over the years with my patients. I love catching up with them during their visits and hearing about their lives and their travels.
My career in dentistry began in 1990 when I earned my associates degree in dental hygiene. I joined Dr. Chapels team in 2009 and, since then, have made it my goal to educate patientson all aspects of their oral health. I create a close bond with my patients and always have their best interests in mind.
I assist Dr. Chapel with dental procedures, order all our officesupplies, and help wherever I can to ensure our team has whatever they need to give our patients a positive experience. I began in the dental field in 1990 and became a part of the staff here in 2012. I love getting to know our patients and learning about their interests, hobbies, and families, but most of all, I love seeing the outcomes of their treatments.
I assist Dr. Chapel with various procedures throughout the day, in addition to being cross-trained to work in the front office to schedule patients and answer phones. I joined Dr. Chapel and his team in 2016, shortly after graduating from Ross Medical for my training as a dental assistant. The best part of my job is working one-on-one with our patients. I enjoy meeting new people and listening to their interesting stories.
I am responsible for consulting with our patients about their financial obligations and generally ensuring that the office runs smoothly from day to day. I have worked in dentistry for more than 40 years, the last 16 of which have been with Dr. Chapel. Throughout this time, I have enjoyed building relationships with our staff members and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed andcomfortable.
We are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Dr. Chapel and our staff enjoy getting to know each patient and thefamily, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.
