More about our team

Welcome to our team. At your service are my co-workers, skilled and caring individuals who make dentistry fun for you and me!

Cheri is our receptionist, and sometimes our dental assistant. We have worked together since 2002. She is fantastic with our patients and always has a smile on her face!

Nicole is a registered dental hygienist, working with our patients every day since 2008. She is an incredibly hard worker, and loves talking with patients!

Trisha is our business manager, working at the front desk with the backup receptionist’s duties. She has been associated with our practice for decades and our co-worker since 2011. Trisha has always been a fantastic asset to us, and we are so lucky to have her!

Rose is a registered dental hygienist who joined us in 2018 after several summers working with us part-time. She stepped in for Shanna, who retired after fifteen years on our team. Rose is very charismatic, knowledgeable, and always treats our patients with the utmost care.

I feel most fortunate to have Cheri, Nicole, Trisha, and Rose as coworkers.
