Registered Dental HygienistMandi graduated from Rochester Community and Technical College with an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene. She grew up in Elgin and is happy to be back working in her home town!
As a kid, I was fortunate that the dental office my parents chose was staffed by a very kind, gentle, and inviting team. I only had good experiences there (even though I had MANY baby teeth extracted and years of braces!). I never feared going to the dentist! Now, its one of my biggest goals here at Elgin Family Dentistry, providing that same experience for all of our patients! One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing patients of all ages that are HAPPY to be at the dentist.
