My greatest desire is to maintain an environment that is in direct opposition to the public norm of a dental office. My mission is to create a space where everyone feels welcome and safe, where we are able to break down anxiety and fear through building trust and confidence.

I was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. I attended Rockhurst University in Kansas City, where I played baseball and received a Bachelor of Arts in communication theory. I graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2016.

It is my responsibility to keep up with these new options, to study both the processes and the results, and then evaluate whether to bring them into our practice. My focus is on providing our patients with proven options that are efficient, comfortable, and deliver lasting, healthy, natural-looking results.

I pursue the majority of my continuing education through the Create Dentistry Study Club and the Seattle Study Club. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, the Kansas Dental Association, and the Wichita District Dental Society.

For me, dentistry is more than a profession; its a way of serving my community and fostering lasting bonds with individuals as I help each to achieve and maintain optimal oral health. I truly appreciate the daily interaction with my staff and patients. I enjoy seeing many familiar faces and look forward to meeting new patients.

I graduated summa cum laude from Kansas Newman College in 1974. I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the Dental College at Creighton University in 1978 and opened my private practice in Rose Hill that same year.

Committed to the value of education, I take numerous continuing education courses all over the country and teachseminars as well. Patients place their trust in in us ... sometimes blindly, which for the patient can be unsettling.

Whether a patient has spent hours researching a dentist or findsone out of urgency, the patient deserves to be treated by someone who is informed on current treatments and protocols. Youshould be able to trust that our degrees meanwe are capable. Sadly, this is not always the case. Staying up to date is not only better for us as healthcare providers, but it is better for the population we serve.

In addition to continuing my education, I also hold memberships in the local dental society, as well as the Kansas Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the American Endodontic Society, of which I am a board member.

We recognize that all 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.

I am proud to be part of such a hard working, professional team. We have trust and belief in each other. Together, we are committed to providing exceptional dental care. I joined the practice in 1991, as a hygienist, and eventually transitioned to the front office.

My faith, family, and four-legged babies are the most important parts of my life. I have been married for more than 30 years to my high school sweetheart and we have two daughters. My favorite hobbies are gardening and decorating.

Our office feels like a family and I consider my coworkers and our doctors to be my friends. I joined the team in 1994 and appreciate how caring and compassionate everyone is toward each other and our patient family.

I like working with these doctors and teammates because this office feels like a family. I am a newcomer to the office, having joined the team in 2018. It feels good to work with people who care about the office, our patients, and each other.

We have always been together as a team, our doctors and staff, and work together as one, not competing for attention. I joined this office in 1995 and instantly knew I had found a family. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with my teammates outside the office.

I have a son and a daughter, three granddaughters, a great-grandson, and two great-granddaughters. I love being with my family. I was fortunate to inherit a wonderful trait from my mother: I strive to be the best I can be, both inwardly and outwardly.

As clich as it sounds, we really are a family. We have celebrated births, weddings, graduations, birthdays, and far too many individual accomplishments to list. We have learned to disagree, forgive, and move on. We have supported each other through illness, deployment, divorce, loss of loved ones, and those all-consuming individual hardships. There is not a better group of people to experience life with. I feel lucky to have been part of this family since 1987.

I have been married for more than 30 years and we have three grown children. At this point in our lives we like to get away as much as possible. I enjoy biking, reading, and girl time. I am learning to not sweat the small stuff and remind myself that each day is a blessing. I am one lucky girl!

I love working alongside these doctors and my teammates because we are more than coworkers: we are family. We do LIFE together, no matter what it throws at us. I joined the practice in 1995 and feel like were a group of friends getting together to help others.

I have been married for over 30 years and we have three grown children. We are both ready to start having our time and plan to start traveling more often. I enjoy time with the girls, riding bikes, and being a Nana. This year I am going to start seeing more joy and happiness in all.

Our office is like our second family. Sometimes we spend more time together than we do with our families at home. I have been with the practice since 2008 and have enjoyed watching all of our kids grow up and go into the world as adults.

My coworkers and our doctors make work fun. The days are filled with lots of laughs and everyone is supportive. I feel lucky to have found a warm and welcoming family here in 2016 and cannot imagine working anywhere else.

Im grateful to be part of such a hard-working team and to work with such great doctors. I joined the practice in 2012 and immediately knew Id found my professional home. I love that I can call everyone family and not just coworkers!

I have been with the practice for a long time trained in 1982 and rejoined in 1987 so I work alongside my best friends! I enjoy everyone here: the doctors, staff, and our wonderful patients and their families.

I am blessed to have been welcomed to this team in 2002. I get to come to work and share my days and life with a giving and compassionate group of people. I have been a patient at the office since I was four years old and came to work here right out of dental hygiene school.

I graduated from dental hygiene school at Indian Hills Community College in August 2020. I joined this amazing team in April 2021. I feel lucky every day to work with people who are so loving and supportive. I never leave work without sharing a laugh!

My husband and I recently got married in January 2021! Originally Iowa natives, my husband and I travel to visit family often as well as travel around the country for fun. We have 2 fur babies; Zeus and Apollo. We also love to ride motorcycles together, and do anything outdoors!

Oral health education is my calling. Good home care habits and regular dental visits translate to fewer dental caries as well as better overall systemic health. Working with patients on this journey to better oral health is something Im truly passionate about. Our office is filled with amazing people who are kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. We work together for your family as we are basically a family ourselves. I feel very blessed to be a part of a practice as supportive and welcoming as Rose Hill Family Dentistry. Im a graduate of Wichita State University, Go Shockers! Im from Douglass but now call Rose Hill home. In my spare time I like to read, do Yoga, and love on my family.

I graduated from Flint Hills in 2017. I joined this team at the start of 2020 and it already feels like home. Getting to know my patients is the best part of my job. I love playing a role in perfecting a healthy, beautiful smile. Aside from work, my family is my number one priority. I grew up in the small town of Phillipsburg, KS. I married my wonderful husband in 2018. As of now we have two fur babies that we love dearly. I have a passion for traveling and spending time with friends and family.

Bentley is amazing with children and works wonders for dog lovers with a fear of visiting the dentist. Whenever Bentley is here he is ready for some tummy rubs and head scratches. Bentley only has a thick outer coat which does not shed which makes him completely hypoallergenic.
