Joni

Office Manager, Insurance Coordinator

Joni is the face of the practice!  She is also a skilled dental professional veteran, coming from a dental assistant/front office position to office manager with us.  She now keeps us all connected and running smoothly.  Joni also serves as our expert insurance coordinator and is an excellent patient advocate; she's the one you want on your team!  She is our office “hostess” and resident prayer warrior and is very compassionate, and she extends her hospitality to us all.  She loves her faith, family, friends, and quilting, which she says is cheaper than psychotherapy.  So glad to have her here!

Susan

Treatment Coordinator

Susan is both very friendly and knowledgeable, with several years in the dental field at both back and front office departments.  She does a masterful job of "air traffic control" for us, keeping patients flowing smoothly in four rooms with three providers all day long.  So glad to have her on our team!

We’re glad to have her on our team!
