I graduated in Oregon with degrees in science and business management. I love what I do, and am here to help with your scheduling needs or to answer any questions about your insurance benefits and treatment details.
I began as dental assistant in 1975 and still enjoy my job. I have seen many changes through the years, and yes you can teach an old dog new tricks! I am excited to share the new technology with my patients. Procedures that use to take 3 1/2 hours now take a mere 45 minutes!
When I’m with my patients, I feel like I’m taking care of my own family. I love the smiles, hugs, and thank yous I get for doing something I love!
I will be cutting back on working days this year so you will no longer see me dancing on Fridays, but if I see a cane in the office you may witness a brief bellydancing demonstration.
