Robin is an R.N. and has worked as an ICU nurse for over 30 years before coming to work with us. She's enjoying getting to know our terrific patients and is eager to help with dental questions and concerns. Patients really enjoy when she comes out to the patient lounge just to chat a bit.
Karen is our wonderful hygienist. She worked over 15 years in her father-in-law's dental practice and on his retirement we were fortunate to have her come here. She quickly became more than an employee butpart of our family. All our patients have enjoyed having Karen treat them with her kindness, gentleness and enthusiasm!
Susan is our newest staff member (and camera shy at the moment, but we'll be fixing that soon!). She also has over 15 years experience in dentistry and has settled in as an excellent fit in our practice especially with her outgoing personality.
