I enjoy working one-to-one with patients.I offer general cleanings andperiodontal assessments, and provide oral hygiene instructions. I try to make people comfortable in the dental chair, listen to their concerns, and work to establish trust. I really like teaching people about dental health and love having someone come to their next checkup with a cleaner, healthier smile! Ive worked in the field since 2008 and been part of this amazing team since 2010.

I enjoy getting to know our patient family:catching up on their latest news, and working with them on financial matters. I coordinate insurance benefits, so people get the most from their policies, and answer questions about coverage. I also manage accounts receivable, process payments, and troubleshoot insurance issues. I started here as Dr. Paynes patient in 2002 and was always confident in the care and compassion of the team. It was the best feeling to become part of this amazing staff in 2009!

In 1997, my husband Jack and I moved to Keller from Chicago. Jack and I have two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two adorable granddaughters. I enjoy traveling, being with family, and spoiling my grandbabies rotten!

My husband Steve and I share our lives with our Maltese. I love being surrounded by family and friends and consider myself a bit of a foodie. I especially enjoy exploring different foods in the downtown and West 7tharea.

I wear two hats in the office: as a dental hygienist, I provide routine cleanings, periodontal treatments, and maintenance care thatstailored to the persons individual needs. Im attuned to each persons comfort and do my best to help people overcome any anxiety or fear.

As our practice manager, I strive to keep the practice running smoothly and efficiently. My goal is always to have our patients in mind and institute changes that improve their experience, so they know we respect them and appreciate that theyre part of our practice family.

I started working with Dr. Payne at his Lindale office in 1989, as an assistant. After graduating from the dental hygiene program, I became a hygienist in that practice. When Dr. Payne decided to move to Keller, my husband and I decided to make the same move, so I could continue working with him. Our doctors have an incredible dynamic, and have developed a team thats as amazing as they are.

Outside of work, I spend much of my time with my husbandDavid, as well as our two cats, Butter Bean and River Rose, and our dog, Kody Bear. We enjoy working in our yard and love the mountains, being outdoors, photography, and good food.

I appreciate knowing I can be the sunshine in someones life who may have seen clouds before they came into our office. As a dental assistant/assistant practice manager, my main focus is on patient care:discussing treatment plans and scheduling treatment, answering questions, ordering supplies and ensuring we have a smooth flow in the office. I joined the practice in 2003 and love working with people I consider to be a second familyunited in our goal to help people live healthier, happier lives.

I have two wonderful kids: my son Khalid proudly serves our country in the USAF and my daughter Jazmyne whom is working on a degree in child psychology. I love drawing, singing, dancing, spending time with family and friends and doing tooth talks at local schools and organizations.I definitely feel blessed to be where I am today.

I enjoy working with patients:getting each person comfortable for their procedure and making sure they understand what will happen during their visit. I assist the dentists and hygienists with procedures, sterilize instruments, and set up rooms for procedures. I also take X-rays, order materials, and keep the staff on task so were able to provide the best experience for patients. Ive been with the doctors and my teammates since 2003. I enjoy how we feel like family and how dedicated everyone is toward keeping our patients smiling!

I was born in Denver but lived in Fort Worth for most of my life. My husband Jeremy was my high-school sweetheart. We live in Keller with daughters Skyler and Madison and son Haydon. We have dogs, a cat, and turtles, too! I enjoy cheering at volleyball and basketball games, walking at the park, and supporting my daughters interest in theater.

I like to see the smiling faces of our patients. When someone feels good about their smile, they are happier and I like being part of that. I assist the doctors in all aspects of dental treatment, while always making sure our patient is comfortable. I also manage our incoming and outgoing lab cases. I joined the practice in 2006, having started in the field in 1997. Its rewarding to work with a group of people who are serious about taking care of our patients and having fun in the process.

I enjoy watching a persons confidence grow once treatment is completed. Peopleare healthier and have a beautiful smile! In addition to assisting the doctors with dental procedures, I help with treatment planning, take digital X-rays, and make temporary crowns and bridges. I started working in the dental field in 1980, and attendeddental school in Monterrey, Mexico. In 1984 I became a dentist, and in 1997 I joined this practice. Our doctors and team always have our patients best interest at heart, and are honest and respectful with them.
