Hello everyone! I lead Northwood's Family Dental, and I couldn't be happier to be in my hometown since 2019! My main focus is preventative dentistry where I strive every day to help patients avoid and overcome dental disease. My interests in dentistry were strong before I graduated from Rhinelander high school, in addition I pursued interests in cosmetology, the forest service, and renewable biodigester energy--a unique combination--I know! Dentistry was always closest to my heart. I attended Nicolet College and graduated from the University of Oshkosh with a B.S in Biology. I then pursued additional schooling and graduated from Marquette School of Dentistry and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I returned to our community to provide a wide variety of dental services with my mentors. I am passionate about the care I provide and hold myself to the highest standard to incorporate new dental technology in northern Wisconsin and to help patients with dental anxiety feel comfortable in the dental office. I am a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Wisconsin Dental Association and the American Academy of Esthetic dentistry. In my free time, I enjoy designing our website, striving to improve my physical fitness, cooking and delving into pet therapy.

Thankfully like Dr. K Shannon only lives a block away so in the event of a snowstorm rest assured. Shannon takes pride in learning new things and finds great joy helping patients in the dental field. She first found out about her career in dentistry when she became a medical assistant at Nicolet College and decided to apply her skills in helping patients smile.
Danyel and Dr. K met at a neighborhood cookout and usually bring up the best way of disposing of Christmas trees (be sure to ask if you meet Danyel). While Danyels kids played in the grass Dr. K pondered how awesome it would be to have Danyels caring characteristics be a part of our family dental practice. Danyel has helped the office succeed at several late night patient caring hours and enjoys keeping our office as clean as possible. She enjoys the step challenges that Dr. K promotes in the office. Danyel has only begun her career in dentistry and we are excited to see where this position takes Danyel.
