I am so fortunate to be surrounded by not only the best team, but also the most amazing family of patients. Spending the last year and a half getting to know each and every person in this practice has been such a blessing in my life. I am constantly learning from each of you, and am grateful for all of the lessons learned along the way. I chose to work in the dental field because I wanted to work with people and make them smile; it hasnt taken me long to learn that they are the ones making me smile instead. I was blessed to grow up watching my uncle, Dr. Mack, go to work every day and LOVE what he did. I wanted that same passion in my life and chose to follow in his footsteps. He is a constant source of inspiration and knowledge.'

I help our patients understand quality dentistry, and I educate each patient on their insurance to help create a patient base with a better understanding of reimbursements for a non-network/fee for service dental practice. I love working for these doctors because I respect the quality of work delivered to our patients.
