I love my patients, so much so that I came out of retirement for them! I love the challenging cases, but never turn away the straightforward! The bottom line is that I absolutely want the best for every patient, regardless of their need or situation. My work allows me to go home every day and feel good knowing that Ive helped people.
I am always trying to learn. My patients deserve the best, most predictable treatment available, and the only way to ensure that is to read all the latest research and attend as many national and international specialty conferences as I can.
In addition to continuing my own education, I have been a part-time faculty member of the Alabama SOD periodontology department. I have also sponsored numerous study clubs and have lectured regionally on various topics in periodontology and implantology.
I have a beautiful, kind, and artistic wife, Kim, who always supports me with love. Kim and I share our lives with Hemi the wonder dog. Hemi is our Standard Poodle, whose favorite activities are helping me take fish off the lure and chasing birds across the mudflats of St. Joe Bay.
We recognize that all of 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.
Our patients will always be my favorite part of dentistry. My biggest reward is being able to help them renew their smile, and helping figure out how to make that happen. I manage all of our dental offices, staffing, and patient treatment coordination.
My dental field career started in 1992. I have a business management degree, along with having completed a dental assisting program. I have also attended many dental-related training courses. I started with Bay Smile Docs in 2008 and love that our doctors truly care about their team and patients. Our office is like one big family, and we make sure our patients get the best care possible.
Originally from Wheelersburg, Ohio, I love living in the Panama City area. Stan, my husband, is the perfect man for me. We enjoy time with our sons, bonus daughter, and their families. Our six grandchildren are the best part of any day! I also enjoy church activities, reading, crafting, and watching sports, especially my Ohio State Buckeyes and my grandchildrens teams.
At Bay Implant & Perio, we believe the most important thing we can do as a practice is listen. We start with addressing your immediate concerns, then develop a plan to make sure you receive and maintain the smile you deserve and want.
We have a comfortable, clean, and modern Lynn Haven office staffed with friendly and competent doctors and staff members. Our team members become friends with our patients and their families, and learnall about their lives outside the office. We try each day to treat our patients with love and respect.
With our on-staff periodontist, Dr. John B. Miller, we can complete most dental procedures in-house without needing to refer patients to specialist practices. This allows our patients to receive comprehensive dental care under one roof from practitioners they know and trust.
