Welcome! Im Andrea and I love helping children overcome their fears of coming to the dentist with lots of Tell-Show-DO and an introduction of all the helpers. Working in our office, I assist Dr. Covington with procedures. Its really rewarding to earn a childs trust and to get a big, happy smile at the end of a visit!
I moved to Greenville from Columbia, SC, in 2015. My husband Aaron and I married in 2018 and we recently moved to the Greer area. No children in the picture, yet, but we would love to be a family of four someday! I enjoy traveling and trying new things everywhere I go, whether thats different foods or activities. When Im not traveling, I enjoy getting together with friends and hanging out in downtown Greenville. I am a huge family-oriented person and a dog lover, too.
Hello! Im Regina and I love talking with kids and getting to know them. I work chairside, assisting Dr. Covington with procedures while chatting with our patient about what were doing. I also take impressions and pour models for appliances. Sometimes children are worried about whats going to happen, so I listen and explain everything in non-threatening words. Big smiles at the end of a procedure, when a patient is proud of how well theyve done, are the best!
I love football my team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, I am a wife to Wayne and have two boys, Courtney and Cameron, who are now men but still my babies. My favorite color is pink, I love pizza and ice cream, and if I didnt already mention it, my team is the Steelers!
I was born in Texas but have lived in South Carolina for about 20 years. I have a beautiful daughter and a sweet dog. My daughter and I love time together, especially traveling. We also love attending professional soccer matches whenever theyre in town. Before COVID-19 hit, I spent Fridays volunteering at my daughters school.
